Back to earth

After their trip to cloud nine last Saturday, the Bangladeshis got the rude awakening that most people expected. At least that's how things stand at half-time of the Eng-Bangladesh game at Trent Bridge. With Trescothick going hammer and tongs at Tapash Baishya --- who nearly 'scored' a century in the runs given column in his 7 overs-- and Andrew Strauss and Paul Collingwood helping themselves to big 100s, England scored 390 odd. How much of this Bangladesh can make in their outing is the big question. Michael Vaughan continues to struggle in the limited over form of the game--- he didn't trouble the scorers today. Flintoff was looking good before he holed out to long-off; a near carbon copy of his dismissal against Australia on Sunday.
It will be interesting to see the mindset with which Bangladesh come out to bat. Everything else seems irrelevant and of academic interest only.
