PS. Oh dear Kieswetter
0.3
Shafiul Islam to Kieswetter, OUT, he's gone this time! Kieswetter advances down the pitch to a similar ball as the previous one and goes for a drive. The edge was thicker this time and flew fast and low to slip, who clung on. First blood to Bangladesh!
C Kieswetter c Imrul Kayes b Shafiul Islam 4 (2b 1x4 0x6) SR: 200.00
0.2
Shafiul Islam to Kieswetter, FOUR, dropped! Kieswetter is dropped by Rahim first ball, pushing forward to a fullish ball he gets a thickish edge which flies between keeper and slip. Another let-off on nought for Kieswetter

Thanks Leo for the link.
WTF is going on here, horrible selection of shots at he bottom..
-
Morgan is exceptional!
-
Its nice to have a good one day player :D only 2 more for his ton now!
-
He got it... Love watching him bat!!! That reverse sweep was amazing!! He only cares about winning the match.. 6 to win!!!
-
well played that man....
-
And there we go :D He likes finishing it off with a 6 don't he!
-
only player to hit a ton for 2 international countries in an ODI ..
-
Bloody brilliant
-
just got back from a series of meetings - not sure it was ever in doubt was it...!!!
must have been a brilliantly pased knock from the Irishman
-
Perfect finisher for England. Another man who was good but not as good as him was Owais Shah
-
Take a bow Morgan....stunning innings, he never looked like he was worried, almost as if he knew he'd win it with an over to spare. That was pretty special!
-
With luck he will develop into the ideal replacement for Collingwood, when he retires, for the test team too.
-

Haha, the one that got 90 odd in about 50 balls then took about half an hour to try and get his ton, then got out on about 98 :D
We were waiting for him to get his 100 before we went out to field lol
-
feel bad for Shakib Al Hasan.. He's a really good cricketer sucks hes stuck with Bangladesh, seems like though hes the right man for the job and hopefully leads them out of being a minnow and makes them a strong cricketing nation..
-
Yeah, he seems a natural leader and a cool head. Suprisingly, cooks batting has come on with the captaincy!
-
Perfectly paced chase by Morgan. Cook looking in decent nick too. The less said about the rest, the better though. A few poor shots by the sounds of it
-
Haven't seen any of it but don't think it will be long before Morgan starts being thought of for the test team as he has proved consistently that he has the technique and especially the mindset for international cricket. Think Trott might have to watch his place soon. Would rather have him in the Test squad than Carberry.
-
Yeah, Morgan has proved that isn't just a slogger
-
Also I know he had a bad championship return last year but if you look at Vaughan's first class average before he played test cricket it wasn't great. Just looks a bit special and the kind of player that reacts well to pressure.
-
Was he included in the test squad?
-

loll yeah I remember that. That guy used to choke his bat handle loll
-

To be fair, Cook has been working on his batting for a long time now!
So his improvement in batting technique is more due to him and Gooch working tirelessly on him! And not the Captaincy.
However, some players have been known to crack under the pressure of captaincy. So its nice to see Cook batting well!!
I think he would have got a century in the first ODI, had the umpire not given him out to a screamer of an LBW decision!
-
only player to hit a ton for 2 international countries in an ODI ..
Nope, what about the other man you stole from us? Ed Joyce!! He scored a ton in the WC against Australia......
Morgan's class is all down to him being Irish! :P
-
Ali Cook is an interesting character and some of the banalities he has come up with in the media and how he actually is are two very different things. He is a seriously bright guy who puts in a lot of hours in the nets and is a natural leader and the responsibilities of captaincy will sit OK on his shoulders.
Whether he has the tactical nous and luck to be a longer term captain only time will tell.
(This may make me a paid up member of his fan club, so I will take all the abuse coming for that!)
-
Buzz - I have also rated him highly for quite a while now.
He's a very promising test batsman. But was always a little slow with ODIs.
But he has worked on his game and is now starting to look like an even better all round (all format) prospect!!!
Obviously he will never have the class of Morgan, as he's not Irish. But he still shows some promise nonetheless!! ;)

Who? :S
And We must never forget Morgans fielding ability, he'll save you 20 runs easy as well.
-
ha ha the luck of the Irish...
I saw the last over and the very fact that Morgan barely acknowledged his ton spoke it's volumes about his midset.
Not sure Cook will ever be a 2020 player - or, apart for the money involved, is really that bothered about that.
-
You guys need to calm down a bit. Morgan batted well, but he was out TWICE. If Vettori was the bowler, I'm 100% certain umpire Tucker would've sent Morgan packing.
Some of you are carrying on like Morgan is the new Michael Bevan. He's played a few good innings ang you guys want him in the Test side?
-
Yes.

Who do you support mate??
Morgan is a class act and has so much potential and is beginning to show it....

Not Bangladesh that's for sure.
I was merely pointing out, Morgan was very lucky today. And also that I don't believe that he justifies a Test call up.
-
No mate i didnt think you supported bangladesh :) just relaised you didnt support england i guess!
I know what you mean, but he has made a few good knocks now...
-

Tbh, when players that aren't justified a test call up get given chances, they dont normally grasp it, and lose their head! Morgan didn't, and carried on to lead the chase.
-

I've got nothing against England.
I think if he has a good 12 months, then he comes into consideration for the Ashes squad. No need to fast track him into the Test side just yet.
-
Maybe he will do a kp.
-
What?
-
Sorry guys deleted comment as had got confused between this thread and the kieswetter thread :D sorry!
-

Joyce only scored the 1 odi ton
-
Joyce only scored the 1 odi ton
For England....
-
For England....
May have scored a ton for Ireland but it was before they were granted full ODI status, which was in 2006 if I remember correctly.
-
Did he score one for Ireland? Doesn't say so on CricInfo
-

Ah, so hence Morgan is the first guy to do it officially & by the book in proper ODI's
-

So before 2006 they weren't ODIs? I think they were but they just didn't play them regularly ect... what about all the affiliate (Whatever there called) members? Do they not play ODIs?
-
niall - nope, they weren't odi's, they were either average list a matches, or 'unofficial ODI's', which are essentially unofficial matches, which don't count towards career averages. they also don't count as odi's. he has only scored 1 one day international ton, against australia.

So whilst qualifying for an ODI tournament (the WC) we weren't playing ODIs? lol thats silly anyways, i know your right :)
-
That is silly, i think of any match played between 2 countries is an international, dont ya think!??
-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/8549423.stm
broad, sidebottom and onions all apparently injured to a greater or lesser extent...
-

but if we work on that premise peplow, then a ton scored by (for example) KP against Jersey or Germany would be worth the same as a ton against Australia. I can see why it's done to be honest, but at the same time I see your point.
-
But then thats like saying in footie, a wayne rooney goal against albania isn't equivilent to one against spain.... but they are both counted...

Not as much, you have to remember there is a far bigger gulf in standard between the top 10 cricket sides in the world and the 20-30th best sides, compared to football. I think I explained that right, for example Australia against Jersey is a far bigger gap in cricket than England against Ukraine in football. Football is widely played in more countries, almost every country has an FA, whereas only 90-100 have cricket boards, and only the top 30 of those get any real funding from their countries' budgets.
-
Yeah can see what you mean there...but its not too dis-similar. At the end of the day you still have to get 100 runs, its not a formality!! Its a tough one to call imo, can see both arguements.
-
Anyone care to explain this scoreboard - 90 off 30 balls, carberry and cook bowling.......what the hell????
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/shared/fds/hi/statistics/cricket/scorecards/2010/3/84181/html/scorecard.stm
-
Christ, ten 4's and 8 6's! Cook 5 overs none for 111 and carberry 4 overs none for 78
-
buffet bowling to accelerate the declaration i do believe.....have a look at cric info...they have a little report on it.
-
There's a buffet at an all you can eat, then there's a buffet at the ritz with silver service........i know which one this is!
Talk about taking one for the team, brave men carbery and cook!
-
Cook and Carbery are obviously a similar standard of bowling to myself!!
Similar figures too!! >:(
-

I know that feeling well - I have been known to be brought on as a specialist declaration bowler!!! :(
-
This looks like the score book when SillyShilly and chum were bowling in the Indoor Semi Final on Sunday.....
Cook 5.0 0 111 0
Carberry 4.0 0 78 0
-
If you were a foot and half shorter i'd bowl you a bouncer.....as it stands i'll just have to bide my time!
-
If you were a yard and a half quicker you might be able to....
-
Touche!
And if you were fully fit for once i might not feel bad bowling at you off my full run up.....no fun when the prey is already dead in the water!
But i'll be the bigger man and have the last word - we'll leave it at that for now.
-
Just seen that Pietersen has failed again.....i think there are good reasons to drop him, but who would replace him?
-
I think it would be madness to drop him - and just to put my money where my mouth is, I will be off later to lob a fiver on him to make a ton in the first test.
Watch for the England team to be Cook, Trott, Pietersen, Collingwood, Bell, Prior, Bresnen, Broad, Swann, Treadwell, Onions...
-
And i wouldnt blame you - well worth a flutter!
Bresnan has probably done enough to warrant a place even though i still dont rate him as an international bowler.......i said the same for sidebottom 5 years ago and he has managed to stick around like a sh!tstain on the old porcelain!
-
I am not sure Bresnen is a test match player either, its just they need his all round contribution to balence the team due to them playing 5 batters plus Prior and Finn and Shahzad aren't ready, while Plunkett still sprays it.
-
How could Cook and Carberry bowl that bad, i read they bowled so many log hops, pies and full tosses, surley they know how to bowl
-

Cook was bowing pies, so the opposition would score quickly and declare
-
ahhh :P i was thinking that, but now its made him look bad, bet it was good viewing though
-
If you watched the england players were just letting the ball go for 4 even when they could have stopped it
-
Good to see Finn bowling well as think in the near future we are going to need his Harmison like capabilities (by that I mean his pace and bounce...!) By all accounts he outbowled quite a few in this match including Plunkett and Bresnan. Not sure how quick he is but England definitely need a quickie and preferably a tall nasty quickie!
-
If you watched the england players were just letting the ball go for 4 even when they could have stopped it
sounds like my normal fielding!
and I agree with you eaowbear - Finn is a real prospect, I hope he can come good
-
cant watch it at skool
-
i think bangladesh will cause an upset somewhere along the line in this test series
-
There is every reason for the selectors to drop Pietersen, except they wont, as he has built himself up a reputation and is bound to come good at some stage.
Would like to see Morgan get a chance in the test team, undoubtedly Englands best batsman at the moment.
-
i agrree GJ
-
Cook and Carberry bowling was very funny, both just lobbed it down!
-
Any highlights about of the buffet of cook? had to double check thought i read 5 overs for 111 runs?!?!?!
-
Think Sunday afternoon bowling, trying to buy a wicket, except none of the fielders doing anything.
-
lol that happens to me every Sunday....if i dont catch my own bowling it no one else will
-
When i read it this morning i thought it must be a mistake, I've not seen cook bowl and after this i don't wish to but 111 off 5 overs surely that's some kind of record for an international game.
-
PLEASE someone have a video? Morgan (I think) Who sometimes keeps, never bowls, didn't even bowl for his Irish club side, once said "I'm not a good bowler, but I'm not as bad as Alaster Cook, he's terrible!' LOL
-
one of their guys got 90 off 30 and another 60 off 16 or something ridiculous!
-
I think it would be madness to drop him - and just to put my money where my mouth is, I will be off later to lob a fiver on him to make a ton in the first test.
Watch for the England team to be Cook, Trott, Pietersen, Collingwood, Bell, Prior, Bresnen, Broad, Swann, Treadwell, Onions...
I knew I shouldn't have spoken too soon, Onions is out, so wont play... my money is on Finn to make a debut, as well as KP to make a massive hundred...
-
Cook, Trott, Bell, Pietersen, Collingwood, Prior, Broad, Bresnan, Swann, Tredwell, Finn
thats my guess, pretty much the same as you buzz but i think they will give bell a go at 3
-

How do Bell or Pietersen deserve places over Kieswetter?
-
Bell does, is tests. Kieswetter isn't ready for tests yet. He isn't in Bangladesh anymore. Davies is the reserve keeper
-

Wasn't the Question.
-
What was the question?
-
whats prior done to get dropped niall?
-
Niall: Bell has just come off the back of a fantastic tour of SA for him. KP is, well, KP. I would have given him a rest for the ODI's I think, but they stuck with him, so they may as well stick with him for rest of the tour. Kies isn't ready for it yet!
-
the question was "How do Bell or Pietersen deserve places over Kieswetter?"
the answer is that KP averages 48 from 58 test matches with 16 hundreds (even when out of form in SA he picked up a pretty useful 81) and Bell has been one of our form players during the last 6 months, alongside Collingwood as well as having an outstanding record agains the Bangers...
Kieswetter has not done anything like enough to oust either of them.
My question is why are people constantly asking to change the team when consistency of selection will allow players to develop. This is why our bowling unit is struggling because there is limited consistency of selection.
-
whats prior done to get dropped niall?
I said nowt about Prior getting dropped.... had Bell not made that ton in SA, Which any able bodied person given that amount of chances would have, people would be calling for his head, he's not good enough..... Pietersen would have been dropped long ago was it not for his amazing run of form when being brought into the England side.... Perhaps Kieswetter is not the best replacement but the other to don't deserve to be there, especially on this tour, the selectors are idiots, the likes of Rashid and all people who will be looking to break into the test side over the next few years should all be given a chance, this shouldn't be a get into form tour for average players.
-
Rshid needs to play more cricket rather than being 12th man all the time... hopefully he will have a good summer in Yorkshire.
-
Niall... Who exactly do you class as average and in need of finding form? KP, with a test and FG average of roughly 50? Bell, who we all know has bundles of talent, and finally played that gritty innings we all needed to see from him in SA? Trott, who has played less than 10 tests for england and is just getting established? Prior, who has started to impress majorly with the gloves as well as giving important contributions with the bat? Or do you mean Colly/Cook, who have both been in really good form with the bat for the past year (or more in Colly's case)? Do enlighten me!
-
He's irish he don't know about english test cricket lol :D
-
I'm half Irish, so I only know half as much as you lot ;)
-
Continuity is the key to success, and having a good team in the first place.... ;)
-
Cook to get his 200 tomorow :D KP getting out on 99. How gutting!
-
Quick keep - topic for this match is in following:
