I agree with him. Four tests against Bangladesh in 16 years is disgraceful.

Agree, especially as we're fed this superficial BS about the FTP & the big 3 playing the lesser teams too.

But with test fifties under pressure against Australia and South Africa in the last 12 months.
The Nicholls hate is strong on CW. He averaged 56 in the tour of South Africa a few months ago when hardly anyone else did anything, so IMO he has plenty to offer. Admittedly his form was poor against Pakistan and he didn't look good in this innings. We could have tried someone else in this series, but I think he deserves to always be on the radar.

Not Terrible
The fifty in South Africa was after the horse had bolted and it seemed to me that the yarpies had their foot off the throat. It was a solid enough innings but the dude is a spud.

That 50 in SA was without doubt his finest Test innings to date. He showed lots of grit in tough seaming conditions against a damn good attack. But sadly, he's just not quite up to it for mine. For any specialist bat to look as poor as he did on this wicket really speaks volumes of his ability (or lack of it) for me.

Timely wicket just when was going to bash Subashis

Another wicket before lunch will be interesting

Oh for sure, but it was a particularly biting tirade. Didn't mince any words. Don't think he'll be getting a commentary gig over there, ever.

I missed it, what did he say other than that it was wrong?

I don't think that's true. There's been twelve tests in the last 10 years and seven have had a result. We've seen big tons from McCullum, Williamson, Sangakkara, Clark and Voges. Ross Taylor, Williamson, Shikhar Dhawan and Misbah-ul-haq have all been sawn off in the 90s. 5+ wicket hauls have come from Mohammad Asif, Philander, Morkel, Broad, Boult, and Sharma.
The real pattern in my opinion is NZ's terrible record, borne out of toothless bowling and low first innings scores. It's not the Basin's fault we've sucked ass.
I don't hate him. I wish him well but don't think he's good enough at the moment and would like to see someone else get a go.

When BD plays well, Athar Ali starts talking bs

That's good, I want more of that and fewer mealy-mouthed platitudes.
