Well, they can both bowl low 140s, which I suppose is a new thing for Bangladesh seamers.

Personally (as you can tell) I think that's pretty meaningless..I can't see either of them having a great deal of success....Shafiul seems to be maybe the more intelligent and accurate bowler, but I really don't think he has the natural tools to succeed too much at the top level...unfortunately, when you're as tiny as those two are, you have to be pretty special to really succeed imo.

malinga is doing ok thierry. and he's about the same pace.

I suggested an all rounder to lighten the workloads. Failing an allrounder I think Broom would be ok but I am not holding my breath for a century from him. But a thirty something score would be nice.

Yeah but the thing is your best suggestion of an allrounder was Yovich. It is fairly ignorant to suggest the idea when there are not even any test quality allrounders around. Corey Anderson is the best I can think of(barring the two injured Wellingtonians) but very unsure whether he'll be bowling be then.

I quite liked the look of Shafiful, especially for such an inexperienced player. He hurries onto the bat fairly deceptively and should be part of the Bangladesh attack for some time.

Is it raining? Cricinfo says it's just cloudy. It also said the match was due to start five minutes ago, although that has changed.

What a low-profile test match.

Play starting at 1. NZ batting.

Gotta feel sorry for Broom, he deserves a shot at 5 ahead of Guptill.

SHAFIUL!! awesome start for Bangladesh. I'm not overracting to just 1 wicket that I've read on Cricinfo, but I think Shafiul will finish his career as Bangladesh best ever pace bowler.

Congrats to Rod Tucker also for umpiring in his first Test.

Big call, given he's just had one good DPL season :p.

Good to see our top order still can't pass 100 without losing at least 3 wickets. :dry:

I'd say Bangladesh will be quietly pleased about the three wickets they've grabbed in the morning session as I don't think they bowled brilliantly to take them. Ingram should be particularly disappointed at his dismissal as he was looking very comfortable at the crease.

Speaking of pacers, I'd like to know your thoughts on Rubel and Shafiul on this tour?
Click to expand...
IMO Shafiul's been by far Bangladesh's best pace bowler on the tour. I'd have picked Shahadat to lead the attack but have been somewhat disappointed in his performances. Whilst the New Zealand commentators seem very partial to Rubel I don't rate him so highly - his pace (early 140s) is noteable but I don't find him particularly threatening. In saying that hes picked up two wickets in his first five overs before lunch today which can't be sneazed at...
