***Official*** New Zealand in Bangladesh

.....

Oram to the rescue yet again ...

I have a feeling 200 will be enough this time though.

25 off the last over, how important will that be later ...?

Very, VERY important. It is not like Bangladesh cannot pull it off. They really can. But the stupendous thing about this team is that it self destructs. I mean had Oram been caught out back when the catch was dropped due to a collision, the whole thing would be a different story with NZ tottering somewhere around the 170-180 mark.

These 30 extra runs might cost the Deshi's dearly. More so because it was a little dent in the confidence that was growing up until the final overs of the innings when Oram took it all away from us !

I wish this game was on Sky as well as Aus/Ind - should be exciting - nothing against the Kiwis but would love to see the Tigers pull it off - have they won back to back ODI's against senior opposition before?

If we lose this one I will officially lose all faith in humanity.

I think not.

Great ball from Mills.

Impressive tight bowling here by Mills. What odds a wicket soon?

Rahim gone, but Ashraful is in. New Zealand now has to be favourites to get home, especially if Ashraful goes soon, although it will be a massive wake-up call.

 

[_Ed_]

Siddique and Ashraful are putting on a bit of a partnership again, we need a breakthrough soon.

 

[_Ed_]

What a catch!

Impressive stuff this from the Bangers, its almost refreshing to see them bat with some sort of plan even after losing early wickets, most of the times when they lose early wickets they just fall apart playing dire shots, but good to see likes of Ash and Siddique taking there time and chipping away at the target.

P.S: Just a shame i am not able to watch this.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

got the breakthrough, i expect a comfortable victory now considering they need 6.32 an over from here on in.

 

[_Ed_]

Four down now...I'm still not certain, but I'm feeling a bit better.

 

[_Ed_]

Make that five...poor guy, run out without facing a ball in his first ODI innings.

No where on the scorecard is that.

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, oh dear. Cricinfo is a bit mixed up. Can tell you that Ashraful is definitely still there.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

No where on the scorecard is that.

if your taking it off cricinfo they have been messing it up.

 

[_Ed_]

Good win in the end, well done to them for turning it around so well in such a short period of time.

 

[Days of Grace]

The NZ media will be so disappointed at this result.

 

[Raghav]

got out of trouble!

When we were 160-8 , I was completely worried about the match. Oram played well with both bat & ball.

Atlast, we proved Bangladeshis that we are still the best... ofcourse it will be decided in the 3rd one dayers

 

[S.P. Fleming]

good stuff, the batting looks to be a concern but the bowling looks pretty solid.
