*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand

[NUFAN]

Yep. Prince EWS called Mahmudullah right at the start of the year.

I said Ashraful was going to have a good year.

With the fast runs rates, there is so much time left considering 960 runs have been scored this match.

 

[Sir Alex]

What a fightback it has been from the Bangers. Mahmudullah is just talent. I wish he gets a chance to bat much higher than the utter crap that bears the name of Ashraful.

How the **** was that a single.....

 

[Zinzan]

Pffttt....would much rather have seen McIntosh dismissed

 

[SilentOne]

Watling should have stood his ground.

 

[Hurricane]

I was following on cricinfo. Was it a mix up with both at the same end?

 

[thierry henry]

Can't wait for TH to comment.

McCullum is a cheating ****wit and only the most delusional NZer would deny it. How many times must he behave unsportingly before we call him unsporting?

 

[thierry henry]

Just occurred to me that McCullum not only does most of his run scoring against minnows, but most of his cheating too.

What a hard man.

 

[JBH001]

Haha, nice, TH.

 

[NZTailender]

Hope Voltman sees this.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

No surprise I agree with Thierry 100% on this. Could really do without the - let's not dress this up any differently from what it is - cheating.

McCullum is now below with Michael Clarke in my estimation. I didn't think that was possible.

 

[_Ed_]

I'm disappointed in McCullum. Defended his run out of Murali, and still would, but it's not fair for me to criticise people like Clarke for claiming dodgy catches and then defend McCullum.

 

[Jono]

Oh dear McCullum.

The draw is now the favourite. Weather looking bad for the last 2 days?

 

[Jono]

Cricinfo commentary has been really **** in this series. Incredibly vague.

Apparently McCullum was unsure so they asked the umpires who obviously decided to not refer it (which I believe they still can if they're not confident it carried?)

Either way, seeing as Mahmudullah seems to think it carried anyway, and they didn't use the referral they had left - seems to me to be a bit of an over-reaction.

I hope that's true - I wasn't watching at the time and only saw a brief replay of the "catch" on the news.

As I haven't seen a single ball of this series, I'm wondering. Are NZ playing as badly as it seems or are Bangladesh actually playing quite well?

Nah, I saw it & McCullum looked in absolutely no doubt in his appeal

Combo of both from the little I've seen

Hope Voltman sees this.

IIRC Voltman has been a pretty stern critic of McCullum.
