I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Bennett, itstl. Must really really want him to be a death bowler.
Yeah Bennett's been really good at death, should really bowl him in the middle/death overs and let southee/millseh share the new ball imo.Bennett, itstl. Must really really want him to be a death bowler.
Bangladesh are no longer minnows in ODIs, tbh.How many of those 50s are against Bangers though? Jeez.
Figures sans minnows and Bangers

Hence minnows AND Bangladesh. Reckon since you were including figures from so far back when they were still quite poor just cut them out fully.Bangladesh are no longer minnows in ODIs, tbh.
12 and 9 in the power play, in the last 5, with three destructive batsmen to deal with, and one of them dismissed, on a small ground is perfectly acceptable. Yes Oram did better, but that doesn't equate to Mills doing badly.LOL, Oram being way better than him suggests otherwise imo. 12,9 off two overs is not good enough by any standards,
Those three players will rarely play in the same team. Especially in the sub-continent.Yeah Bennett's been really good at death, should really bowl him in the middle/death overs and let southee/millseh share the new ball imo.
Haven't you still learnt never to bet on Pakistan. Out of all the cricketing nations, Pakistan have probably ****ed the most people over in terms of betting. Unless they knew the outcome in advance****ing hell. Would've won $60 if Pakistan had scored 270-290.
Oram had to bowl to Afridi, Akmal, and Bennett had to bowl to Akmal. Both of them didn't leak any boundaries, which is what I call good death bowling. Can't believe you're calling 21 off 2 overs as good death bowling tbh12 and 9 in the power play, in the last 5, with three destructive batsmen to deal with, and one of them dismissed, on a small ground is perfectly acceptable.

lol.....21 off 2 overs (and especially 12 off 1 over) is not good at allOram had to bowl to Afridi, Akmal, and Bennett had to bowl to Akmal. Both of them didn't leak any boundaries, which is what I call good death bowling. Can't believe you're calling 21 off 2 overs as good death bowling tbh
at least they are not minnows for NZBangladesh are no longer minnows in ODIs, tbh.
Not at home, anyway.
Excellent bowling from Oram. Booked his place in the starting XI, now.

Umer is still not a lost cause the second season blues caught up with him also not having a senior batsman around him hurt him in the English summer and something which he is still recovering from.Shehzad does seem to be a genuine talent. Reckon most Kiwis are a bit cautious to give too much praise too him after the rise and fall of Umar Akmal we experienced last season.
His stroke play Sachinesque, have not seen a young player who have such a wide range of strokeplay, have to be a lot tighter defensively to succeed in test cricket can see him getting caught at slip early on quite a lo.t The talent is certainly if it can be fined tuned he will be our best opener since Anwar.What is everybody's opinion on Sehzad? Does he remind people of any good players? To me he seems like a good prospect for the future and would definitely like to see him in tests.
