The pitch was sluggish though it was better under lights with a bit of dew. Again England had to face the slowness of the spin-oriented Bangladeshi attack and it needed a special knock from the Irishman - Eoin Morgan to pull them out of the woods. Poor Bangladesh they would have picked up their first ever international win against England but for this Morgan chap! |

Again I would say that England have a long way to go in One Day Cricket, certainly not their best yet. They aren't that good against spinners infact very nervous and just play the desperate sweep shots. Morgan is an exception though and Matt Prior for a bit. |

Brilliant chase from Eoin Morgan, absolutely cool under pressure and what marvelous array of shots he has got! He kind of reminds us about Andy Flower when it comes to the sweeps, reverse sweeps and certainly some flashes of Neil Fairbrother of the 90s! |
