*Official* Bangladesh Tour of New Zealand

[SillyCowCorner1]

He a wasted talent reminds me of saeed Anwar when he made batting easy

Absolutely, his 127 against Pakistan was one of the best ODI innings by a Bangladeshi batsmen I have seen ?

 

[kaetor]

Taking Seifert's place? Not in NZ conditions but I agree, Latham the better bat in subcontinent. Although potentially they're shooing him away from T20 to keep technique in tact?

Yep, but I'm bias because I think Seifert isn't a good cricketer in any format.

Hoping the Bangers play better today! Hagley should be flat I think

 

[_Ed_]

That's not an ideal start.

 

[ataraxia]

I'm not seeing this series being exciting or information-giving if we continue to bowl first.

 

[slippy888]

Bangladesh cant keep on carrying on like this really it embarrassing

 

[ataraxia]

Bangladesh cant keep on carrying on like this really it embarrassing

On paper Bangladesh team better

embarassing for you, that is

 

[slippy888]

No they are pro cricketers they cant responsibillity in representing bangladesh, they need to put in effort

 

[slippy888]

We set for another below 200 all out here on a flat pitch you know

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

We've chosen to bowl again. Fingers crossed for 250+!

Why would you not back the batting line up to put a total up..

Golf game maybe

 

[Athlai]

Worth keeping in mind this Bangladesh side ran us close at the WC and beat 2 out of 3 in UK/Ireland in 2017.


We will trouble anyone at home and Bangers are by no means a weak enough team to not choose to play to the conditions.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Young should be in Nz test team long time ago

He was. His double ton down in Dunedin back in '97 was a thing of beauty. Sad to think that's nearly 25 years ago now.

 

[slippy888]

I dont think bangladesh have ever won a match in new zealand

 

[Athlai]

Correct in NZ we have won 14-0 since 2010 and neutral/away NZ lead 12-10 since 2010.

 

[_Ed_]

But they could have beaten us in that 2015 World Cup game - didn't Gup get dropped early in his match-winning hundred?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I like that shot from Shommo. Hope this gives him confidence.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Isn’t that a clean catch?

 

[BeeGee]

WTF. Does the umpire not know the rules?

 

[kaetor]

The ball can touch the ground if he's in control, but IMO he's not as he's still moving. That would be like giving those outfield catches where they step on the boundary out.

I'm glad to see that given not out, I don't think it should be out if you hold the ball against the ground.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He caught it yeah...but he pressed the ball on the ground to get ‘control’.

I’ve seen lots of these calls in the NFL.

Good decision by the umpire.

 

[cnerd123]

have just tuned in

NZ claiming a dropped catch then trying assault Tamim. Disgusting. What a bunch of pricks, as if poaching associate cricketers and then benching them wasn't bad enough.
