*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

[Blocky]

You'd have to consider it poor should either one of these guys get themselves out before chasing this down - Bangladesh don't have any threat outside Mortaza and Fizz and they're both tired now, Shakib-Al has really regressed.

 

[Blocky]

I'd be tempted to give Broom a chance at #5 in the test team and a longer run at #5 in the ODI team, he's seemingly corrected the flaws he had in his last run in cricket, solid defense, doesn't over-hit the ball, has a good temperament, still a livewire in the field.

Two absolute minnows going at it in this series. Bangladesh well you expect it but the fact that they get to spend a significant part of the southern summer in NZ just shows where the latter sit in the who cares department of world cricket. It's actually disturbing that there are nearly 1,000 posts on the tour to be honest.

I've been down on Kane Williamson's batting since he took over the captaincy full time, so I'm very happy to say how much I'm enjoying him playing so beautifully today

 

[grecian]

He's good, but he's not ATG standard like a lot of Bangladeshi's hype him up to be.

Massive difference in class between Fizz, Amir, Rabada, Hazlewood and Starc.

Starc and Rabada (ATG standard) >> Amir and Hazlewood (borderline ATG's) >>> Fizz and Boult. (Bangladeshi and NZ greats)

I don't understand any of this TBH. actual almost gobbledy-gook, on form showed so far, Fizzy is so ahead of the rest it's untrue, the only question is will is body be able to allow him to carry on playing like this, because so many phenom bowlers are that way because they're just straining their bodies too much. You put Starc in an all-time great position when he's five years older and just a good record nothing more, Hazlewood similar-ish.

Don't get me wrong, you could be right but Fizzy IS bowling at an ATG standard at the moment, IMHO, there's nothing wrong with what he's doing, it's leg-cutters delivered at pace, it's all about if he can keep it up.

Stop listening to him

Think you posted in the wrong thread mate. NZ currently ranked #4 and #1 in white ball cricket.

Agree that Bangers are minnows, especially when playing away. But on their day they can play well, they knocked England out of the last World Cup and I think they did OK against England at home recently ...

Chanceless 50 by Broom here... really taking his chance

 

[Dick Rockett]

Also a pleasure to see a guy like Neil Broom given a chance based on form, and then making the most of that chance. A most un-NZ Cricket sort of situation.

Dropped at slip

I thought that was Williamson? Was it Broom?

 

[Blocky]

Williamson doing that "I'm in my sixties, batting too fluently, time to bat like a complete spud and make things look much harder than they are" period.

Both still thrashed England in their last test match vs the Poms. I believe the World Cup games didn't go in England's favour either.

Who cares New Zealand are world beaters now they just white washed Bangladesh

 

[Jono]

I thought that was Williamson? Was it Broom?

Yeah was Broom. Still a good innings obviously.

 

[indiaholic]

Kaneh so gorgeous!

 

[Gnske]

Surely Bangladesh should be trying to stump Broom

 

[Blocky]

When did Shakib become so average? This is the worst I've ever seen him bowl in a series.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Willie needs to hurry up or he'll miss out on a hundred.

 

[Gnske]

Fizzy!
