37th Match - New Zealand v Bangladesh (13th March)

[Flem274*]

bangers are becoming our kryptonite. might take the eden park hoop and bounce to beat the ****s.

 

[jonbrooks]

A ball more in the slot never have I seen.

 

[ankitj]

Bangladesh mean business. Will present a serious challenge in quarters. And this stage, it is hard to say they will play India or not.

 

[BeeGee]

Mahmudullah. Legend.

 

[anil1405]

I guess the biggest victory for NZ would be if McCullum ends his shift today without being injured.

 

[Antihippy]

Still think this is short of a winnable total for the Bangs.

 

[Flem274*]

well batted lads.

right, ****ing destroy them then never come back to seddon park until it plays like a proper nz ground and not a devcich is a good bowler ground. #workmanblameshistools

 

[Zinzan]

He has two eyes, a heart and was born in NZ wasnt he?

Not questioning the fact he's loves him, but why he's expressing it ad nauseum while commentating. Exactly the sort of cheerleading that grates us from Australian commentators.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Still backing us to chase this down. Impressed with Anderson's bowling in the power play.

 

[viriya]

At least we needn't worry about MM.

Anyway, this is just great batting, enjoying it. Will be a great test of NZ's batting.

You can bet Bangers bowl a lot more than 10 overs of spin here.

40 off 23, superb innings.

All 10 England wickets were from pace.

 

[Zinzan]

Well done Bangers.

So glad we're chasing 300ish. Just hoping the pitch doesn't slow up overly and favour their spinners too much.

 

[Grasshopper]

Very good innings from Mahmudullah, and a reasonable target to chase.

Game on.

 

[cricman]

Shakib 5fer on the cards

 

[Zinzan]

All 10 England wickets were from pace.

Entirely different pitch.

 

[Daemon]

"those are never easy" - Every single time someone takes one of those catches. Literally.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Given that McCullum's hyperaggressive strategy completely backfired here, and given that the Bangers batted superbly for the most part, 289 is a very gettable total.

 

[Jono]

"those are never easy" - Every single time someone takes one of those catches. Literally.

just accurate commentating.

McCleneghan really doesn't look that good, does he? Successful in ODIs to date, but I cant quite understand why.

Haven't been watching, but presumably he was somewhat below his best this being his first game since the WC warm-ups?

 

[straw man]

Wow Marmadoolah, sounds like a top innings.

 

[Zinzan]

McCleneghan really doesn't look that good, does he? Successful in ODIs to date, but I cant quite understand why.

He wasn't actually nearly as poor when he first burst on the scene in that series in SA, but has steadily gone backwards since through a combination of not opening the bowling & losing a couple of yards of pace since 2013.
