Anamul is out with injury and Imrul to replace him in the squad but unlikely to get a game. Mashrafe has slight injury scare and no words yet whether he is going to play or not

Jeeze mate, you're quick to change stripes.

I want England to win & only because I can see them posing more of a treat to India in a quarter than Bangers would. But on any other occasion I'd be backing Bangers against old mother England.

Really need England to win for that easy ride into the semis for India. Not confident facing Bangladesh there :ph34r:

What's Adelaide pitch exactly like? heard its like subcontinent.

England are actually overrated in ODIs and really an average side. If Bangladesh brings in another specialist spinner in either Taijul/Arafat then unlikely England will win. I did a research and England batsman have struggled against spinners like Xavier, Haq, Nathan etc and BD spinners are just far superior. Pace bowling of England unless it swings/seams won't bother these talented BD stroke-makers. In past, BD batsman coped with younger Broad, Anderson etc well. Someone like Tamim has 3 100s against an England attack. In fact, the last 3 ODIs between these sides BD won 2 of them and they have become much much better since the last meeting in 11.

Looks like BD will pick this 11:-

01. Tamim (Experienced, England basher)
02. Sarker (Top fielder)
03. Mahmudullah (Experienced)
04. Mushfiqur (Experienced, best batsman)
05. Shakib (Experienced, best player)
06. Sabbir (Finisher, top fielder)
07. Nasir (Finisher, top fielder)
08. Mashrafe (Experienced)
09. Rubel/Shafiul
10. Arafat/Taijul
11. Taskin

I'm predicting a Bangladesh win due to their quality spinners. Shakib, Taijul, Sabbir, Nasir....left arm, off and leg spin are covered and very hard to see England batsman coping if Adelaide is a slow pitch.

Not sure that would make sense considering the Banglas are ok at playing spin..Ravi would have been a better replacement for mine..
