*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand

[_Ed_]

Oh dear.

Want NZ to win of course, but I want a contest.

Oram bowls two pies and gets a wicket with the second one...

 

[_Ed_]

59-7.

 

[thierry henry]

Are these guys for real? It's like watching a whole team of Neil Brooms.

 

[_Ed_]

This is horrendous. Can we give them a second innings?

 

[thierry henry]

On a positive note, Vettori is turning it

Looks like another game like this one.

Commentators are nuts saying this wicket is fast. It clearly isn't. Tamim was ridiculously early on a couple of balls from Tuffey.

Won't be chasing that many.

Indeed. It might shut you up about it - and Roneel Hira - for one night at least.

Yeah, because Vettori only turning it against Bangladesh totally refutes my criticisms of him

 

[Smudge]

What relevance does the opposition have to whether he turns it or not?

One of the standard criticisms of Vettori is that he only turns up (or turns it?) against the minnows.....

and btw, Ronnie had an exemplary HRV Cup, couldn't have done much more.

Anyway, have maintained for a wee while now that no-one can really criticise Vettori's limited overs bowling, so you're dominating the straw-man atm

You're all over the shop, pal. Just let the hatred go.

There's no way anyone could criticise Vettori as a limited overs bowler over the last 2-3 years. He has been tremendously effective.

 

[Howsie]

Heard Southee was over 140K?

 

[African Monkey]

Some horrible batting from Bangladesh in that performance with Mahmudulllah's and Ashraful's shots being the worst of the lot.

 

[_Ed_]

Heard Southee was over 140K?

Yeah, a couple of times. Quickest I saw was 142. Was a bit all over the place with his line and length though.

 

[thierry henry]

Heard Southee was over 140K?

Yeah but Tuffey was 136kph, Franklin 132kph and Oram 133kph, the latter two bowling the lollipops they generally bowl these days.

Friendly radar imo (and I defy anyone who says there's no such thing)
