Moeen's stand and hit style is danegrous if he lasted too long...because he gets the runs on the board.

Lucky break for BD

I agree with Olly, had Bell been awake then the run was on. That said, this early in the chase with the scoreboard ticking along nicely, no need to take the risk. Poor all round.

Bell was in his crease.. Ali was allready down the wicket on the hit. It went fast to a fielder close . Not a run. Never.

The thing for me is, as the non striker, Bell should have been following up. The call (as the ball was behind Bell) should have been Ali's. I believe that there was a run there.

Bell was ball watching and so was Ali, he was not aware that Bell was firmly in his crease and realised it far too late.

Bad play from both and totally avoidable.

I have long said that chasing totals between 270 and 300 are the worst to chase as it puts batsmen and captains in two minds as to how to go about the chase. Its even worse for England, considering there performances so far, confidence and the added pressure of a must win match.

I still see this as being very much game on.

Morning / evening folks - the post above is particularly applicable to England in ODIs over the years. We too often bat for too long in second gear and then crash badly as we move up to and try to stay in top gear.

That said and despite a comics cut run out (both batsmen were at fault), England going along pretty nicely at the moment. Bell is some way off scintillating form but - as I said when he was batting against Scotland - you have to judge this innings of his when it's finished. The job is to take us to a win or at least have it near to guaranteed when he gets out. Hales and England benefiting from him not carrying recent baggage.

Post by Mike Selig Mon Mar 09, 2015 10:10 am

Morning all,

Just getting up to speed but a bit concerned that England are being a little bit too passive against the spinners at the moment. Yes the required run-rate at the moment is fine, but if England trundle along at 3-4ish per over for much longer it can quickly get up towards and above 7. Whilst we all know in today's game that shouldn't be anything to worry about, in a must-win game the stakes are higher and you don't want to rely on scoring 80 odd off the last 10 IMO.

As a coach we talk a lot about making sure you take risks on your own terms. I just wouldn't want to see England get into a situation where suddenly they have to go for the big shots off the spinners, because that's when you lose your shape and tend to miscue.

Having said that, an "interesting" bowling change by Bangladesh gives Hales a couple of boundaries and that really eases the pressure.

And now Hales gone. What do I know?

Its hard to figure out if Bangladesh is bowling a very good defensive line or if England are playing overly cautious... Either way, England are finding themselves sinking into a hole here, pressure is mounting.

I would say Eng are comfortably placed with a RRR of 6.33 over 27 overs is nothing these days with 8 wickets in hand....for a sdie that has batting down to No.10

when the RRR goes to 8 these days is when there is some pressure...Eng ahead right now

Eng needs this pair to bat till the 35th over.....at whatever RR doesn't matter...and they would have a a firm grip then.

BD need to get two wickets preferably Bell in next 10 overs and they would have a firm grip.

anywhere in between those scenarios it would be anyones games

Morning Mike - well, do you and/or others know this one which I dont? Motivated by Moeen's 'reprieve' early on today.

What's the rationale on a lbw review by the batsman that it's not out if less than half of the ball is pitched outside leg? I would have thought it more logical for the decision to stay with 'umpire's call' if the ball pitched at all on leg stump, in the same sort of way that an 'out' decision is upheld even where the ball is only shown to be clipping the wicket. Thanks.

Eng are way ahead, but if you can find two odd wickets.. It becomes very interesting. Sides havent chased too well in this world cup, but I think England pulling it back by 20-odd runs at the end may have saved their world cup campaign

I agree that England are ahead but history tells me that England can just as quickly go into their shell and allow the pressure to mount and as a result, cause them to take extra risks leading to wickets.

Two wickets later. Horror show from Morgan. Someone needs re pen a book on the art of the chase. Not sure anybody in this world cup actually knows how

Yeah, exactly on Bell. Tough to have a pop at someone who got 60 plus but he didn't stay long enough to do the job required. A useful innings but not the commanding one he and England wanted.

The first 3 wickets falling when there was relatively little pressure and we seemed to be doing comfortably. Not just frustrating but maddening.

And now Morgan goes to an excellent boundary catch, appearing to be very well planned.

Captaincy is a tough gig. Its as much a personality thing as it is a tactical thing. When youre captain, you have all these functions to go to, all these extra team meetings. It basically cuts your private batting and training time in half. This is why captains going through batting slumps seem to take so much longer to get out of it. It is also why selecting a captain who averaged 25 last year was asking for trouble

It was just too late in the day.

Morgan was in terrible form without the captaincy pressure. We should have dropped him to county and then maybe given him the captaincy after the WC anyway.

We had a plan that was on going for a year or so that Cook would be capo with no exception .

Typical england.
