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

[kiwiviktor81]

McClenagahan fell over seven or eight times in his follow-through, so I think it's fair to say his rhythm is shot.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah that was weird. Never seen anyone fall over that much even when bowling with trainers on instead of spikes.

 

[Tec15]

McCleneghan is a guy who is greatly flattered by his record. Not the first time he's been smashed by Bangladesh either. NZ should have picked Matt Henry instead.

My feed of the match has been dead for like 20 minutes. Damn you living in USA.

Yeah, there's no doubt he was picked on his impressive record rather than recent form. He's looked out of sorts for about 6 months now.

Don't forget that only a few months back he became 2nd equal quickest to 50 wickets in ODI history, making it hard to leave him out, rightly or wrongly.

So excited for this BD team.

Never seen them put up two solid performances in a row.

This is great stuff. Loving it. Making themselves a legitimate threat in the Quarters.

going to be honest here - i'm worried. seddon park is perfect for bangas, bangas are playing well and we have a thing with bangas.

we should be mowing them to pieces in our own conditions but they've played well so far.

 

[cnerd123]

Turn from ball one.

Yes. Lets do this.

 

[Flem274*]

and seriously if bangas win this then go back to being pathetic in the quarters i will be so mad

 

[viriya]

SL would rather face SA in the quarters too, Ind have had SL's number for some time now.

I'm seriously worried that they are done for this WC. 3 good batting performances, 1 upset win, 1 scare (possibly another upset).

All set up for a meek collapse in the KO stages.

Although we will be playing Choke Africa if we win.

Well they did put up 7 in a row against NZ

Home games. They've been epic in those for sometime now. Rubbish Asia Cup aside

15th Match: South Africa v New Zealand at Johannesburg, Feb 16, 2003 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo We kind of did here

Actually can't think of many occasions we've been asked to chase 300+ in WCs.

 

[cnerd123]

Rubbish ball.

 

[straw man]

It's fair to say the Bangladesh are a generally underrated team. They did well to counterattack our opening bowlers in this match.

I hope 1992 isn't going to repeat itself here. Cane everyone, lose the final pool match to a team of Muslims from Asia and then out in the first knockout game.

NZ gloriously undefeated until the last game of the round robin, then lose and lose again to the same team in the semi finals.

Marmadoolah as Inzy of course.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Don't think it's scouting when you can just watch it on television.

 

[Zinzan]

Agree with Doull for once. Two spinners wasting the new ball is madness. Surely Rubel isn't far away.
