*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

You would think that a good batting coach would be working with him on this ....

We don't have one of those. Or a bowling one.

 

[Zinzan]

As captain: 6 matches at 33.90 (1 of those matches against SA was completely rained out after day 2)
Not as captain: 46 matches at 49.56

Yup, that feels more representative of where I feel he's been, even considering his non-captain stats include minnows as well.

Lol Not a Macca fan Steve?

Arghhhh **** dont want to go to work

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Energetic gearing up for a triumphic return to this thread.

 

[SteveNZ]

Lol Not a Macca fan Steve?

Haha nope. Who's improved under him?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

NZ in panic mode

 

[Meridio]

Ah, here's Ronchi. Wonder if he'll make double figures for the first time in months.

 

[Meridio]

Good ball, and there's definitely a bit in this pitch. Played it really, really badly though, just come to the wicket and pushed his hands miles out in front of his body.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

We really could use Taylor back. Was anyone else shocked he was dropped from the 20-20 side? He has struggled in tests recently, but I thought his limited overs form was still very good?

 

[Bahnz]

Agree with the commentators, great test to see if Munro has a low-risk game and can score 30 off 40 without taking undue risks in the next 10-12 overs.

I guess that answers that.

 

[jonbrooks]

There is definitely a bit in the pitch. Question is whether it will remain for when Bangladesh bat.

 

[Zinzan]

Haha nope. Who's improved under him?

Lol yup, can't say when I think of Macca's batting, that technical prowess is the thing that stands out.

 

[Zinzan]

I guess that answers that.

Indeed, good delivery, came back in, but jeez he played that early.

 

[_Ed_]

Ah, here's Ronchi. Wonder if he'll make double figures for the first time in months.

He's played some quality knocks for Wellington lately, so hopefully he can bring some of that form to this level. Hopefully.

 

[jonbrooks]

Haha nope. Who's improved under him?

Agreed. Of recent times our better batsmen have sought batting advice from Martin Crowe. Now that he is gone we are pretty light in the batting advice department. We need to get rid of Craig McMillan and bring in a hard arsed Oz batting coach. Ditto for bowling.

 

[jonbrooks]

He's played some quality knocks for Wellington lately, so hopefully he can bring some of that form to this level. Hopefully.

He is long overdue.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Huge partnership this. If Ronchi performs he can stay in the odi for a bit longer; if Broom performs he will be making a test debut in a couple of weeks.

 

[Zinzan]

I fancy Bangers to chase 270-280 even if we can somehow get there. Definitely seems like their kind of wicket, not so much bounce as they'll find on other surfaces.
