*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

[Nate]

This is like the early days of live cricket broadcasts when they only had cameras at one end. Ah the nostalgia.

I'm actually really enjoying it.

Just needs the 30 degree angle to be complete.

 

[Blocky]

It's just plain stupid to bowl short pitch when you're bowling with the wind, any top edge is going to carry like a beast.

 

[Blocky]

Santner with the wind, so when they hit down the ground it holds into the breeze.
Wagner against the wind, so when he finally starts the short bowling barrage, it holds in the breeze

Boult and Southee to go carry pies to the audience, rather than bowl them.

 

[cricman]

Probably could have won the 2nd ODI if Mominul was selected for the shorter formats

 

[Bahnz]

Could well be it for the day, it's looking ghastly out there.

 

[Daemon]

I see Bangladesh have decided to go in with 10 men again.

When the **** will they get rid of Kamrul?

 

[Binkley]

Cricinfo says the covers are coming off, but the weather to the north doesn't look particularly great. I hope they get back out onto the field, but I suspect they won't be out there for too long.

Yeah, I'm on Lambton Q and it's showering fairly steadily here. Don't think it'll take long for this to blow through to the Basin. Such is the wind that it's also intermittently raining upwards. #Wellylife

 

[cnerd123]

I cannot believe Fizzy isn't playing

Wtf BD

Not a bad start tho. Kayes beaten by a good short ball and Tamim possibly trying to play one shot too many and didn't pick the swing.

 

[Bahnz]

I think New Zealand have dodged a bullet with this rain. Trying to maintain control while bowling in 120kmh gusts is extremely difficult, and I think that's seriously contributed to Bangladesh's high run-rate. The wind is forecast to drop back to 20ish kmh tomorrow, so bowling will be a lot more manageable.

So true. Man I used to hate bowling in weather like this.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Has fizzy actually been dropped? Wtf

 

[Flem274*]

this thread is terrible and jonsooks/cm wahhhhh haven't even showed up yet (which suggests NZ are not behind in the game - the perfect score teller for the missus!) and the thing is it was completely predictable. Match day in an NZ thread = a minority of wankers ruining the game thread for everyone else.

Hahaha, what? I know you think it's Blocky vs the Forces of Stupid on here, but you are actually talking to many individuals with disparate views. I sure as hell have never claimed we have the best new ball attack in the world, not even when Hadlee or Bond were playing.

you're talking to a bloke who claimed he has more first class wickets than Mark Craig a couple of years ago

Hahaha, gold.

Edit: Wow, I thought you were kidding. You were not.

Supporting BD is such a painful task. Dumb shots, dropped catches, not picking your best players but scrubs like Kamrul instead....

 

[cnerd123]

Is play resuming?

 

[Blocky]

Yes

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Just catched the highlights. Good to see Mominul playing the ball late

 

[cnerd123]

Don't hook the ball in the air Mahmadullah

Which channels are showing this?
