Slow, low wickets in the UAE, combined with no pace bowling and there are going to be a lot of low scores and tired women sprinting ones and twos in 45 degree heat.
Fortunately, there’s 3/4 of an orchestra playing some tunes to entertain.
There is definitely a bigger sense of joy and fun in the players.Some other highlights were some of the Bangladeshi players busting out some serious dance moves whilst celebrating and one of them living up to their nick name and pretending to be a tigress in the dug out.
I like the low scoring games to be honest. Feels like you can't predict the result for quite a lot longer than normal.
Why we bother, I don’t know. What does anyone learn on these pitches?More life in a rags title challenge than there is in this pitch.
England bowlers will be praying the ball starts to reverse swing this afternoon
Pope if he is our best option for captaincy when stokes can't play we in trouble he is utterly useless! His captaincy is mundane old style captaincy!
Well we won't find out how flat the pitch is really till the fourth fifth day if it breaks up and actually does something then fair do's if it does nought why bother with a test match that gives the bowlers nothing and it's just a run fest to make the batters feel good!
