*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

[vandem]

[Munro]Good at 6 imo.

Which means Neesham or Santner or de Grandhomme batting # 5. I'd rather Munro bat at #5 and have the keeper or all-rounder bat at #6.

 

[Jezroy]

If we're not going at 7 an over by over 30 CM Punk generally chimes in with negative rubbish.

Oh I know!

 

[_Ed_]

This has been good death bowling by Bangladesh, tbf. 350+ was well and truly on for a while there, but they've restricted us well.

I think Neesham could be developed into a decent number 5, the other two, no. While I don't hate the idea of Munro at 5, I think he straddles the line of being someone who can build an innings during a collapse as well as being a finisher. A good number 6.

A small sample size, but he averages 50+ at 6 and 22 at 5.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Ugh. Tim Southee's profligate bowling pisses me off.

 

[NZTailender]

Good to see Bruce in the T20 side. Wh33ler back too. ***y side.

 

[NZTailender]

Better from Southee.

 

[NZTailender]

He's belted that.

New contender for worst review ever.

 

[CM Punk]

Surprised by Tom Latham's innings today, I never knew he had those gears

This is Bangladesh after all ...

 

[CM Punk]

This is Bangladesh after all ...

Kane couldn't do that against Kenya on his best day. He's quickly becoming another Amla in LOI's..

 

[Mike5181]

Yeah, Kane's never done something like that.

Bangladesh making Neesham look threatening.

Red rover

 

[CM Punk]

Expected a lot more from Bangladesh, the commentators sound bored out of their minds..

 

[Gnske]

Reminder ***** will shill for this side for ZERO monetary compensation

The T20 Squad

Kane Williamson (c)
Corey Anderson
Trent Boult
Tom Bruce
Colin de Grandhomme
Martin Guptill
Lockie Ferguson
Matt Henry
Colin Munro
Jimmy Neesham
Luke Ronchi
Mitchell Santner
Ish Sodhi
Ben Wheeler



I'd go with

1. M Guptill
2. K Williamson*
3. C Munro
4. T Bruce
5. CJ Anderson
6. C de Grandhomme
7. L Ronchi+
8. MJ Santner
9. I Sodhi
10. M Henry
11. T Boult

Would be tempted to sub Anderson for Neesham and bring in Wheeler for Henry too. Plenty of bowling options. Guessing we won't be seeing the same bowling attack repeated in any game.

 

[Blocky]

You can summarise how threatening Bangladesh is away from home by simply stating this is the worst the NZ bowling attack has played this year, and Bangladesh are four down and out of the chase already.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

no way should Bangladesh be seriously considering chasing this now. Just bat out the 50 and get some time in the middle.

 

[vcs]

Oh Bangladesh... expected them to put up a bit more of a fight.
