*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2010

[Trigger_Tiger]

I wasn't generalising. I was being ironic.

Fly to play an ODI series in a country - one which specifically has a season called 'the wet season'. Simply brillliant.

My apologies, but that season has passed. Damn the rain...was looking forward to this game.

 

[Trigger_Tiger]

No reserve day & definitely won't be any play today & word is the 3rd will be a washout too, so Bang will win the series.

Bang will lose 2 in a trot! I mean if NZ win the next one which they surely will, BD will become hapless in the last most likely (especially with the lineup).

 

[DingDong]

shocking result in the first game but if the players gave it their all that's all u can ask for really.

 

[Flem274*]

In other news, Flynn scored 162 for NZ A. Guess who's coming back to bat #3 in Tests!

Mathew Sinclair.

 

[Flem274*]

Bangladesh starting all right. Got rid of McCullum, though they might have been better off dropping the Watling catch with the pace he was batting.

Terrible shot selection by Ryder

I haven't seen a Team so inept vs Spin ... Since Bangladesh pre 06 Circa

 

[Prince EWS]

Three down now. Shuvo's gun.

 

[TT Boy]

Hoping Bangladesh can get through at least 40+ overs of spin today.

 

[Flem274*]

These guys need to watch the video of Fleming's 274* in Sri Lanka. That's how you play spin.

 

[cricman]

Beauty from Shakib

 

[outbreak]

Go tigers

 

[TT Boy]

Grant Elliott's ODI purple patch well and truly over.

 

[Aritro]

Somewhat bizzarely, I've never had the opportunity to have a proper look at Shuvo other than the odd over here and there. Can one of you lads give me a bit of a scouting report on him?

From what I saw of him, I thought he bowled at far too low a trajectory to trouble anyone through the air, or give it much opportunity to spin, but those were fleeting glimpses as I said. I'd like to know what he's got in his locker to warrant the reputation that he's got in Bangladesh.

 

[Bahnz]

Gah...just gah.

Just all kinds of inadequacies in this batting lineup at the moment. Or at least it seems that way. But the truth is, we're only missing a number 3 and a number 5 from our ideal top order. How may have a chance of getting back into the side a lot sooner than any of us thought. And the sooner Styris gets fit again, the better. Feel awful for Elliot, he just looks lost at the moment.

He's bowling to his favourite player atm, Vettori

He's Bowling different than he was vs England, vs England he was bowling like Collingwood but today his Action seems to Resemble Shakib's when he first burst on to the scene as the 3rd Leg of Rafiqe/Razzak/Shakib Trio.

He's Angling it in

This.

We're rubbish against spin atm. Fleming and Styris were gun against back in the day.

Shuvo gets Taylor 1st Ball

79/5

 

[Flem274*]

Silly bowling change. Seamers are no problem. Shakib, Razzak and the other spinners are the ones who should be bowling.

Shuvo gets Taylor 1st Ball

79/5

Vettori according to cricinfo.
