Official NZ in Bangladesh (5 T20s)

[Flem274*]

been watching the test but looks like we need another spinner tbh even if the batting behaves itself. can't go conceding 140 to the bangers at home, their spinners are too good to let that slide.

We've only scored 52 so far but the commentators seem to think the game is gone already. They seem to be really anxious

welcome to the world of Athar Ali and Shamim

We have none and luckily it's been good so far. All our spinners have done well in the two games but to expect them to not have a single bad game that's asking for too much. We should have used Sears instead of Bennett and Doug. Maybe we'd have been chasing less

Mate... You're watching England test over black caps?

 

[Flem274*]

yeah bro, scouting the english scum for melbourne 2023

they like to bowl with their right arms

 

[straw man]

Wondering if CDG will arrive at all or just throw his wicket away. He's the key if we need some quick runs

Roll dice every ball: 1 to 2 = out, 3 = dot, 4 to 6 = boundary. See how long it lasts. (Hint: Not long)

Pretty much on the same page as me tbh. You're right on track unless there's an immediate improvement in the bowling.

Well, that'll wicket'll swing it our way a bit maybe.

 

[Moss]

Just can't keep Shakib out of the game when playing NZ. Decent-ish knock from Young, needed to support Latham for longer. Too much to do it looks like.

EDIT: WTF was that running CdG

 

[Flem274*]

what do we want? medium pace

when do we want it? now until the end

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Not ideal time for CDG now maybe after a wicket

From what I've seen there is literally no point in us playing a pace bowler unless they can jag it like Mustafiz (maybe Southee that time in Hamilton he bowled fast spin). Otherwise fill the attack out with your Lennox or really any other spinners or part-time spinners lurking around the NZ scene.

Bugger... Young was looking really good there. Why is CDG there? Would have rather had Henners. CDG at 7 would have been perfect for us with 30 required off 2 or 3

Too late now... With three spin bowlers we've been fighting the battle.

How come CDG isn't bowling? He'd be perfect for these conditions

egg on commies

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Lmao I love these comms

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Some all time great commentary there lolllll

 

[Moss]

Wow, that looked out all the way. Saved by the bounce!

They're so annoying. Shamim needs to think about laser surgery for his eyes. Consistently seems confused or just plain wrong about things the audience can see better than him.

 

[Meridio]

Thought it looked high live, and a topspinning slower ball is always likely to be bouncing over.

I know it's a bit of a cliche to hate on the commentators, but surely there's people around who understand cricket better than these guys? It's hilarious.
