*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

[Blocky]

****ing disgrace of a post.

Sure, let's get all uppity about me pointing out the facts of the game, because they don't suit the narrative of you wanting to say this was a great test that was hard fought.

Bangladesh choked, something drastic, and we capitalised. It was a complete gift and shouldn't be seen as anything less by the selectors who should be asking some tough questions in particular of the bowlers.

Good from Mushy.

That amazing last day shouldn't hide the fact that wicket was way too flat for Test cricket, & it took a woefully inept batting display to get dismissed for 160 on it.

I hope they don't forget that in the review.

Exactly this.

What about energetic?

 

[Athlai]

I mean it's just you, me, AZH and Challis who post here. We'll be fine.

I don't count when it's against New Zelaand.

Mushy's been good this test. Actually was toughing it out with the bat, scored a big hundred, was giving it is all he was.

pffft weak

What about energetic?

he's our Blocky

 

[Zinzan]

Pleased for KW getting an unbeaten ton, he deserved an ounce of luck today considering recent half chances have been costing his wicket.

How many times has it been recently that teams are losing even after racking up 400 in the first innings? I count 4 just this last month

True, although not near on 600.

 

[Burner]

Yeah this was massive. By far the largest

 

[Jord]

Bangladesh are the worst side. We played so badly every match of the series and we still win everything. Ban them

 

[Burner]

It is truly sad that such a landmark first innings for Bangladesh should end in such a bad note.

Yeah it's happened a lot more recently. I suppose teams just score so quickly these days that it opens up time for the other side to get a result too.

Feel sorry for Bangladesh but this is Test cricket and you have to compete over five days, not three or four. Well done to NZ for seeing an opportunity yesterday and capitalizing, Williamson WAG. 450 overs is a long, long time and this is why it is so difficult for underdogs to get results in Test cricket.

Unfortunately for Bangladesh, you just know how the 2nd match is going to pan out now, especially with all the injuries and the psychological impact of this.

Sir Fizz will make you eat your words in the second test if you keep talking like that.

 

[Jord]

So good they left him out, they didn't even beat our NZ A side they had no one in it. Runs and wickets shouldn't count against them, , it's just not international standard

Man I really hope it doesn't.

We all thought they would be rekt after coming so close and losing vs England, but they bounced back from that great. They should take inspiration from that. One bad session shouldn't not override all the good work they did in this Test.
