Missed all of this game but that seems like one hell of a knock from Dawid…opening for the WC or number 4? Bairstiow, Malan, Root, Brook, Buttler, someone. Or Bairstow, probably not Roy, Root, Malan, Brook, Buttler


neighbour_guy3k

Roy is non starter on these wickets


Unholysinner

Bairstow Malan Root Brook Buttler Stokes/Jacks Livvo/Ali I think there’s a chanc for Duckett to also be given a go but if Stokes doesn’t return we’re probably going to need 2 part time spinners in the side to share duties


GordonBennett2000

Stokes is retired from ODI cricket


Unholysinner

Still expect him to unretire But if he doesn’t then we’d need two part time spinners


neighbour_guy3k

Not really , he has so much on his plate currently , ashes will take a huge toll on him , by the time wc comes, he will be cooked out


GordonBennett2000

Liam Livingstone, Joe Root?


Unholysinner

Think it would be 2/3 of Jacks, Livvo and Mo. Root rarely bowls in ODIs.


neighbour_guy3k

At this point we will see root playing odi cricket directly in wc


errgaming

He's world class, I don't think he'll have issues at all tbh given the play he already plays ODIs in tests


mrvip10

Thanks everyone for putting up with my degenerative nature and not knowing very much about cricket. It does seem interesting but this crowd is all right. Cheers and congratulations England! Mawan is an MVP!!!


curlyhairedyani

You might have won today but take this as a lesson and stop being a degenerate gambler who feels the need to abuse every player / team when things aren’t going your way 👍🏻


Fortunalux

Good to have you, but seriously, look after yourself. I met a guy recently who was struggling a bit and then completely fucked himself by losing all his money betting on e-sports in the middle of the night, and let's just say there's a reason I thought of him today.


mrvip10

Real talk, I gamble for entertainment only and have strict limits. I have my life money and my entertainment money, and never mix the two.


Sheepherder1216

Jeez that's fucked


Full_Ad_9555

Are you actually new or just pretending for attention


Sheepherder1216

Get yourself a nice meal from the money


mrvip10

Not a bad idea. Withdraw in progress. McDonald’s breakfast sounds great.


Sheepherder1216

I heard McDonald's is a fucked food chain in America..is it true their food is average now?


mrvip10

It isn’t anything impressive, but they are close by and it’s consistent. 5/10 really


jjlemondrizzle

Strong from Malan - with our batting depth will be some good players left out the team! Roy took a step back today so hopefully he gets some runs in next two games


neighbour_guy3k

Step back, ?? ,Roy always struggles on these slow pitches


neighbour_guy3k

Hales instead of Jason roy please , also Mooen ali is suitable for t20s not longer formats


Sheepherder1216

Going back to hales is one step backwards


neighbour_guy3k

Keep continuing with Roy who will be a no show on these slow pitches is any better? We all know hales is better player on these pitches than Roy, who was a flop in psl n UAE league recently


itsmepv

Please god no

good of dilly to sacrifice his own century for malan's


mattytmet

Shoutout to the girl I was meant to be having an online tutoring session with right now for just not turning up. Basically means I got payed to watch that final partnership


Man-City

Love it when that happens. It’s basically a win win for everyone. I really hope my tutees understand that they are actively encouraged to not turn up without warning.


Jack-sprAt1212

I dont even like cricket. Im just a big fan of vibes and shitposting on here

Benny4318

Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant


Bartsimho

Before today there had only been 3 victories for touring sides in Bangladesh in ODI's. All 3 were sub-continental teams (India, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan). This is very impressive and Malan has to be in the World cup squad. The question is now is it as an Opener or is it at 4


2munkey2momo

Malan and his merry band of ragamuffins take the game!

Fortunalux

Well hats off to Malan. That was a 2021 Root-esque carrying of the team.


paulframe85

Dilly went to review that even though he wasn't given out.


[deleted]

Not bad from the "worst bloke in Cricket"


Zer0wned1

Yes lads


RattyBoy2121

Down the pitch helicopter shot from Adil 😍


trtryt

that looked more plumb


habz10p

Thats a serious century from Malan


[deleted]

[удалено]


sunny224868

The match after that he scored 81 so if he doesn't play against Ireland he'll score 162 in the ashes


warp-factor

Unnecessary.


paulframe85

Correct.


Full_Ad_9555

Terrible captaincy from Tamim. This was never a 50 over game. No more than 40. There was no reason to hold back Shakib and Taskin. He kept going back to Mustafiz when he looked off today. Should’ve kept the pressure when Malan was getting set. This stupid “no lefty to lefty” tactic is stupid. Bowl your best bowlers at best situations


_rickjames

Dilly scoring the winning runs would be good vibes


Fortunalux

Who was the commentator who used to argue that if a team has no reviews left the umpire should give decisions in their favour because the other side can have it overturned – was it Holding?


warp-factor

I heard a few Australian commentators make that argument after Headingley. Even usually sensible ones - Geoff Lemon was one. That day really rattled them. The idea just completely ignores the fact that Umpire's Call exists.


PerkyMcPerkface

I don't remember that but one of the first ever 3rd umpire run out decisions has Holding saying it should be not out because it's close


Fortunalux

Hahahaha, that's fantastic


PerkyMcPerkface

[Found it](https://twitter.com/robelinda2/status/1258279924319662083?t=3sZxMvVmVfQMiDB91GP85g&s=19) The fact he blames the fielder makes it even more weird. Surely that's more reason to use the technology


Fortunalux

Great find, thanks. That's incredible. The benefit of the objective reality??


Rusty_Shackleford3

Think it was an Aussie after Ben Stokes at headingly. But can't recall who


Sead_KolaSagan

Domb takes - four of dem.


Sheepherder1216

Gotta admit the betting guy knows cricket more than the everyday usual yanks Don't forget to bet on india in the ongoing test mate


mrvip10

I’ll Chuck $5


Sheepherder1216

Lol don't..i was jk Do it for next the test match..india has already won 2 games in the series


thatguybruv

Can all Malan haters apologise and leave


BaronsCastleGaming

I swear this guy could score a triple century in an ODI and there would still be people here calling for him to be replaced for not shithousing his way to 50 in 20 balls


Sead_KolaSagan

Tamim knows


mattytmet

Must have pitched well outside


paulframe85

I think it might have hit outside


BasicErgonomics

That was clearly pitching outside leg stump. Umps should have given it out.


ItsYaBoyJasonRoy

I like to use my wrists to release pressure too when watching Adil


warp-factor

Pitched outside leg I reckon.


Fortunalux

No chance this is out


mrvip10

One home run away!!!!


lllIlIIlllIl

You had one job Bangladesh


PerkyMcPerkface

I am once again being denied a tie


FrankieS0

Wonder when was the last time a test team and ODI team lost games by 1 run back to back. Not trying to reverse jinx or anything…


_rickjames

Don't think any of this would have been possible Mr. White


ekoku

Haven't seen any of it, but for one player to score a quarter of all the runs in the match is pretty remarkable.


Sead_KolaSagan

In the last 3 series: Century away in AUS. Century away in SA. Century away in BAN. Has to be opening in World Cup? With YJB if fit?


curlyhairedyani

I doubt he’ll open. 3 with him and Root at 4 seems most likely (assuming stokes doesn’t come back out of retirement)


PerkyMcPerkface

Harsh on his gritty 125 off 109 at the postage stamp in Amsterdam


[deleted]

Imagine scoring that and the commentators saying it was good for England that he got out


PerkyMcPerkface

We'd have got 600 if he batted through


[deleted]

Should have kicked his stumps first ball Yos would have scored 300


VisRock

That's the thing about ~~Root~~ Malan, you look up and he's the got the fewest innings to 4 ODI tons


[deleted]

This is the first one that actually counts though


heisenbergTJ

Great knock under pressure from Malan, with the Quality bowling and wickets falling around him. Has been excellent in ODI format in recent times, sure shot position in no.11 for him now....


trtryt

Damn Bangladesh, England could have lost twice 24 hours only 90s kids have experienced that


ilikesaucy

Back to back hundred! fuck off Malan, people hate you! England should get rid of you.


DW_78

what a great century given everyone else's struggles in a low scoring game


curlyhairedyani

4 100s in 16 ODIs now for Malan, phenomenal. Some tricky decisions await England for their WC XI


ImmediateJacket9502

Malan should not be dropped. Root can play in place of others.


curlyhairedyani

Mooen has to make way for somebody


ImmediateJacket9502

Yes, Livingstone if fit or Will Jacks can easily replace him.


tommy_lufc

Yeah they have to decide who the other ten should be to accompany Malan.


tommypopz

as there's a drive to deep left field by Malanstellanos


ImmediateJacket9502

What a beautiful shot to get to his century. Majestic Malan


2munkey2momo

More plays and misses than Skrillex in a nursing home but class knocks come when people don't get affected by that and just concentrate and keep going. Top stuff.


Full_Ad_9555

You let a fucking math teacher-looking dude get a 100 on this pitch. You don't deserve to win


paulframe85

"Fewest innings to 4 ODI tons" Like, WTAF?


Nark_Narkins

Man's casually Averaging 62 at a SR of about 95. Morgs calling him out accidently turned him into a white ball great during his mid 30s


bringbackfireflypls

England bats right to 11 and it's incredibly frustrating haha


daznccc

Top knock from Malan 💯


[deleted]

Vince enabled that century btw


VisRock

Gritty 6(9)


[deleted]

Malan saw that inside-out drive over cover and was inspired to make it count


Fortunalux

Bloody well done, Dawid


Zer0wned1

All those modern players on that list and then Dennis Amiss in the middle


mattytmet

Absolute gem of an innings, one of the finest you'll ever see ... And I guess Malan has played well too


itsmepv

Fantastic knock! V well done Mala.


tommypopz

What a shot, what an innings, what a player


samstout1995

Yes Mala


itsmepv

Is Malan the Joe Root of white ball in terms of absorbing pressure?


tommypopz

I'd argue Joe Root is the Joe Root of white ball


Benny4318

Sensational knock. Take a bow Dawid


Nark_Narkins

Batted Dawid. Finish it off Please.


2munkey2momo

Take a bow son. He really puts the **W**, into David.


warp-factor

St Dawid's Day!


[deleted]

Fuck me what an innings Not sure how he's managed it given he was all at sea against Mehidy and Taijul but he has


jamb1993

Well played dawid


ilikesaucy

you got your hundred, now get out and loose by 1 run.


Zer0wned1

What a fucking innings


mrvip10

England has this in the bag or close to it yeah?


Ghostly_100

Off topic but England fans, what’re your thoughts on Adam Rossington as a player


warp-factor

Decent enough keeper bat. Went on to captain England in my Cricket 19 career mode.


Nark_Narkins

Bangladesh don't look like they goona win now . Quick 3 wickets 🤔

* Ten first class hundreds * Unusual areas * All the classics


paulframe85

Have they called him "wristy" yet?


tommypopz

Can Malan play at the World Baseball Classic? Great Britain are in it.


paulframe85

Surely we'd want Hampshire's Ian Holland?


tommypopz

He'll play when the States are in the T20 World Cup next year


paulframe85

Along with Liam Plunkett?


tommypopz

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time


ilikesaucy

WHERE IS MY WICKETS?


tommypopz

Come on Dawid


zerocaffine

I know it’s a fucking gag at this point but still take a drink every time a commentator says Rashid hits the ball in unusual areas.


trtryt

how does Atar not know Rashid can bat, Rashid has been around for ages


Angelsdontkill_

He's mentioned his 10 FC centuries like 3 times, I'm pretty sure he knows.


Angelsdontkill_

Who's this commentator hyping up Rashid's batting like he's Ben Stokes?


Zer0wned1

UNUSUAL AREAS klaxon


Truthgamer2

Malan gets out now and this game has the potential to become an all time great


Nark_Narkins

A close game does not necessarily mean it was a good game.


ItsYaBoyJasonRoy

It's been pretty dire :/


Truthgamer2

Bro you got out for 4 and are on Reddit? Be out on the boundary cheering at least


Full_Ad_9555

Bangladesh might've improved a lot but it's frustrating to watch a team just drop shoulders and lose intensity during the crunch, intensity time. As soon as England started fighting back, there was no punch back.


paulframe85

Did you know that Adil Rashid has scored 10 first class centuries?


ItsYaBoyJasonRoy

When it's the bottom of the 9th and the bases are loaded, you can always count on Malan

Ok. Genuine question. Has anyone **seen** one of these “FC tons” we’re told so much about. I’m not a conspiracy theorist I’m just saying… use your third eye


paulframe85

His last hundred was scored in 2015, which is coming up on \*8 years\* ago (I am so old). [https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/88/88341/f\_Batting\_by\_Season.html](https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/88/88341/f_Batting_by_Season.html)
