***Official*** New Zealand in Bangladesh

[cricman]

It'll be intresting too See How and Styris Tackle the Spinners now

 

[_Ed_]

Four down!

 

[NUFAN]

So gun that Syed Rasel is back, wouldn't surprise me to see him dominate the NZ top order.

Edit: Mortaza.

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah he's bowled magnificently.

Our batsmen got out to poor shots though, apart from How who was beaten by a beauty, but it could well be because of the pressure he's created.

 

[_Ed_]

79-6!

Unbelievable stuff from Bangladesh. I'd be happy if it was against anyone but NZ.

 

[cricman]

Ashraful's Capaincy Skills are very underrated.

If he ever knew how to use his Brain when he's batting the way he uses his brain when Fielding. We Could be very good

 

[andyc]

Seriously hope they don't mess this up. But we all know they will.

Totally... I have nothing against NZ but I'll be so pleased to see Bangladesh do well.

 

[NZTailender]

Mortaza bowling beautifully by the sounds, have no tv access.

Hoping Oram and Vettori can take us to a respectable total. Bangladesh's best chance is getting us all out before 130.

 

[_Ed_]

Bizarre injury, never seen that happen before.

What the **** was the roller doing there? So dangerous.

 

[NZTailender]

Totally... I have nothing against NZ but I'll be so pleased to see Bangladesh do well.

Yeah same here. Bangladesh probably the only team I don't begrudge doing well against us.

Also, Vettori's talk of a tough series beforehand wasn't just guff to try and hype it up either. (Y)

 

[JackPot]

bangla rocking

 

[cricman]

I hope mortaza is Alright, He's had enough Knee Issues in his life

Mortaza is out for the Rest of the Day

 

[S.P. Fleming]

Dan and Jacob to the rescue once again.... PLEASE!

 

[cricman]

The World Cup in 2011 is going to be so Intresting just because of the different pitches

Belters: In Most Pakistan & Few Venues in India

Grass in: India & Maybe Sri lanka

Turners in: Bangladesh, Sri Lanka & Hopefully in Pak/Ind

 

[NZTailender]

Mortaza back on the field apparently, good to see. He's a handy bat as well, so it improves their chances.

 

[_Ed_]

Today hasn't filled me with confidence for NZ in 2011.

 

[NZTailender]

Today hasn't filled me with confidence for NZ in 2011.

I'm sure whatever problems we have will be ironed out by then However, it doesn't fill me with confidence ahead for Australia.


There was an article in yesterdays paper, an interview with John Reid, and he reckons most of the batsmen lack technique. Wouldn't be far off either.

 

[_Ed_]

Indeed.

So we've taken the powerplay now, 38th over. Interesting. Oram & Vettori both have their eye in, so not a bad decision.

 

[sportychic33]

good decision to take the powerplay when they are in, rather than leave it till the 45th over when it isn't certain that Oram and Vettori would still be there.
