***Official*** New Zealand in Bangladesh

[cricman]

This pitch is a Belter so Any Score Below 275 is not good

 

[Athlai]

*secretly hoping Flynn fails again and gets dropped from the ODI side*

Would prefer him not to bat at all TBH.

 

[cricman]

Maybe Vettori and Ash Couldn't read the Pitch properly or ryder Just had a really tought time.

Rasel!!!!!!!!!

 

[Trigger_Tiger]

And here now Rasel gets Ryder for 3!

That's quite a funky looking scorecard there....

Can't believe Styris is still in there. Distinctly average series from him so far, should be under pressure.

McCullum LBW Mortaza

13/2

 

[Somerset]

Could we have made a more tentative start? Bit of a strange decision to give McCullum out so far down the wicket - or is the pitch playing that low...

Strange to see Flynn keep his spot. Why we aren't playing Elliot is beyond me.

 

[Trigger_Tiger]

IF I am not wrong, it would AGAIN come down to a "Jacob Oram thrash-fest" for Bangladesh!

 

[cricman]

Does Oram have Defecincies against the new ball? Cause it's Asinine not to bat him @ 4 right now

 

[_Ed_]

Think we're even with bad decisions now - McCullum got a poor LBW call, and I think Taylor was run out there despite what the third umpire decided.

I'm not sure Taylor was out. Yes, the batsman has to be over the line, but the bails have to have been completely dislodged from the stumps. I don't think that the bails were fully dislodged until Taylor was over the line.

Not unlike the Haddin attempted runout of Gambhir in the test match yesterday - needed an extra frame in the replays to be certain of that one.

 

[cricman]

The true nature of the pitch is being shown right now, Best for Bangladesh to Contain rather than attack

BD is getting owned ate the moment.

 

[NZTailender]

This is what we want to see, our two best ODI players (IMO) consolidating and building towards a total rather than recklessly throw their wickets away. Really hope these two tonne up.

How gun is Rasel though? Showing that he shouldn't have been left out of the side for so long.

 

[NZTailender]

Our batting order this series:

Ryder 67 @ 22.33
McCullum 32 @ 10.66
How 65 @ 32.50* (scored 7 in the first two games)
Taylor 70 @ 35*
Styris 4 @ 2*
Flynn 32 @ 15.50*
Oram 132 @ 132*

* yet to complete innings or bat yet.

Kyle Mills scored 1 more run in 2 innings than McCullum did in three. Really poor effort from our top order there. But full credit to the Bangladeshi bowlers, have really looked professional in this series.

Also think Styris should be dropped before Flynn, but tbh would rather see both go and Elliott and Fulton brought in. Maybe even Broom instead of Fulton

 

[cricman]

the outsome of this game is gonna be how well Shahahdat Hossian Bowls in the Death Overs and the 1st 10 Overs from Bangladesh

250 is a Par Score on this pitch not that great but not Horrible either

 

[Athlai]

I love How and Taylor so much

 

[NZTailender]

Tbh I'd bowl Razzak and Mortaza in the death overs, with Hossain bowling in 30-42 over area.

 

[NZTailender]

I love How and Taylor so much

Jamie How - underrated? Quite possibly. Deserving of an appreciation society.
