Bangladesh v England ODI Series 7th - 12th Oct

[Dr Cricket]

First odi is on mix as well.
nice since I don't have Sky sports and thought I had to watch through dodgy online sites.

England have lost three of the last four to BD...

And are missing three of the top four first choice batters!

[Dr Cricket]

Got to say the security at the moment looks very good and watertight, not too keen for them to show it to the public and media.
guessing it isn't a surprise that security is the best they could offer considering 3 sides need this to happen safetly.
Bangladesh gov need this badly since the country is 80% percent reliant on the textile industry and it will die if foreign countries don't see the country being safe.
Government are footing the entire bill since an safe England tour will be a massive boost to the country and economy.

BCB obviously needs the tour.
ECB are under pressure to tour with the reason underlined ages ago.

Still can't believe this tour is going on guessing too many sides had too much on this tour going on safety and pulling out was not an option.

Remarkable that BD go in as favourites (in the opinion of Jos Buttler) and yet England's side has been called (by the press who are saying BD are favourites) their best ever, and all eleven players (OK, three are missing) would make up their all time best side (which was a bit of a giddy opinion). I'm confused.

bookies don't agree with the statement.
Tough game for the bookies to price the game since England being long will see millions being priced on England but make them too short and millions will be placed on Bangladesh.

England are 1.36 and Bangladesh 3.20

personally wouldn't back england at the moment since england really should be 1.5 and can see england odds getting evens tomorrow, Bangladesh at the moment look a steal.

Are TMS and Sky physically out there?

No
TMS only covering the Test brought the rights too late.
Sky partly, essentially they loaning Key, Nasser and Knight for the odi with Cork working as well but won't speak to sky during the interval, think Cork is the presenter for the world feed.
So basically 4 sky people if you include cork for the tour, Athers replaces Nasser for the Test.

So guessing the comm team will be Cork, Key, Nasser, Knight, Ather Ali khan and some other random guy, maybe arun lal.

With Sky not being able to afford to send their own production crew overseas now they essentially decided it would be better to loan commentators and using world feed.

Although it means Sky has to use the BCCI.TV pictures in the winter.

Looks like james taylor and Matt prior is in the studio at london.

Sky Sports Cricket Twitter Account,

"Delighted to be working with host Gazi TV who's comms are Athar Ali Khan, Dominic Cork & John Kent. We've sent Nasser, Knight & Rob Key".

Almost as if they've gone out of their way to shift the blame on Cork being there!

England batting first interesting decision in the toss.

[Dr Cricket]

Bangladesh must have some batting lineup if they dropped or can't find a place for Soumya Sarker.

[Aidan11]

No Wood or Plunkett.

[Aidan11]
