*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

This is where Martin Guptill would have been handy. Though I remember Ross Taylor taking a few test wickets, might as well chuck him the ball.

Shakib!

Fielding.

 

[CM Punk]

Question is now whether Bangladesh will bat on for 700.

You're surprised? Our bowlers have been terrible on flat wickets for years.

Raval isn't a terrible jammy bowling option tbf..

Last time there were arguments on here over apparently non-existent terrorist threats which Australia should have ignored, a touring team to Pakistan got shot up. I think the players take them seriously since then, and I can't blame them.

When is Bangladesh due to tour here? We can play them in Alice Springs or Tennant Creek or somewhere in winter where it might draw a crowd to watch them get pumped.

Good news. Hope it comes to pass.

 

[cnerd123]

Shakib trying to not do something dumb here.

The suspense

 

[cnerd123]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss

First ever 200 from a BD batsman away from home

 

[CM Punk]

So is there any hope of Kane as captain or are we prolonging the inevitable?

Allan Border's highest ever test score away from home: 200*
Shakib's highest ever test score away from home: 203* and counting

 

[DriveClub]

200 at 80, completely flayed the kiwi bowlers

 

[NZTailender]

Well done Shakib! Great effort.

 

[TT Boy]

Just 50 away from the highest partnership for the 5th wicket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

What a man!

Hope he gets some wickets too, though I don't think he'll bowl much. Looks a little exhausted.

Regardless of the wicket, 200 @ 80 away from home is worth applauding.

 

[Starfighter]

Well done to Shakib. Whatever it is the NZers are doing, they need to stop now.
