David Lloyd thinks whitewash is not possible, happy if England forces one win

Everyone seems to be expecting a 2-0 whitewash for England in Bangladesh, but I believe there are warning signs from the match against the President's XI.

If England get one win they will have done well.

He said that mostly because of rain, not because he thinks BD will overpower England. But its nice to hear anyway

Good old Bumble has a history of being happy with under-performances. In 96-97 when he was England coach, he said 'we killed em' after England and Zimbabwe drew the first Test in Bulawayo.

Different impression from his quote:
"It reminds me of the Zimbabwe tour in 1996, when I was coach. We lost 165 overs in the two-match series - that's two days of play. We just couldn't force a result. In the Bulawayo Test, which I remember well, we got them nine down and the game ended - we only needed possibly one more delivery but a draw it was."

Yeah,
thats the game I was talking about!
He got torn apart in the media afterwards for saying 'we killed em.' Everyone was like, what would he say if England actually won a match by an innings inside 3 days? Thats killing an opposition!
