'If the pitch doesn't spin a stupid amount'

I really wish people would watch recent matches in Bangladesh before making moronic comments like this. Bangladesh has a fine batch of young fast bowlers. Against the recent series against both South Africa and India none of the pitches where square turners. They had plenty in them for fast bowlers. Even in Mustafizur's absence the pitches won't suddenly turn into what India and Sri Lanka produce at home

If YJB doesn't play every match after being rested by the ECB morons there'll be a riot.  I'd say:

Roy
Ali
Duckett
Bairstow
Stokes
Buttler
Billings
Woakes
Plunkett
Willey
Rashid

Lots of batting, good range of bowling to take advantages of the unusual conditions (low but not overly slow is going to really challenge the batsmen)

Hence why I stated my team for presuming they won't spin like crazy.

Stokes may be having an adverse effect due to yesterday's Durham news.....

From Cricinfo, looks like they're lining up as:

Roy
Vince
Duckett
Bairstow
Stokes
Buttler
Ali
Woakes
Willey
Plunkett
Rashid

Seems fair, as above, not going to be raging turners, so no Dawson. Still wouldn't mind Billings getting a game, but you'd say Bairstow has the capacity to bat at 4 in an ODI whereas I wouldn't be so sure about Billings. Ball might get a go in the first game if Plunkett has gone off lame.....

I think James Vince has taken a copious amount of steroids this morning. Look at him go!

pretty easy from the scorecard by the looks of it, 300 is nothing these days to chase.

and looks like everyone got in and got a bat.

good to see duckett in, the kid has got real talent. Got a feeling he will get a good run in the one day team and poss the tests.

Interesting that Stokes was snailing (relatively), wonder if it was him being unwell, or him struggling with a slowere pitch?

Has he ever scored runs on pitches that turn??
