Is old mate still going to play the pyjama stuff is he?
If you're talking about Blundell nah our white ball squad is stacked. Devon Conway keeps in t20s.

Probably the last of the t20s he's ever going to play for black caps

Nah, I meant Watling. Handy to have Conway keeping.

This total is starting to worry me :eek:

Bangladesh posters question for you. Were you guys always passionate about cricket even when you weren't playing international cricket? I always wondered.

Good stuff from the test format mainstays. Nicholls should bat at the top.

Guess the score is something to bowl at. Need the pacemen to step up.

Yeah, was a cricket obsessive way before we got test status.

If you're wondering about Deshi fans generally; no most people weren't particularly passionate about cricket. It was a football country with cricket as an established second sport with a solid following, but a long way behind football for mainstream popularity and recognisability.

Qualifying for the 99 World Cup, hosting the ICC KnockOut Trophy in 99 (equivalent to the latter day Champions Trophy) and then test status pretty much reversed that state of affairs overnight though.

Might need @AndyZaltzHair to confirm though seeing as he was actually there after I moved away in 1994.

When we were 5 down I was a bit worried. Glad we crossed 100. This is the third game and our guys have fought hard with whatever personnel we have. Even Aussies with more experienced lineup struggled to get cope.

That was an excellent partnership from Blundell and Nicholls.

Definitely come along nicely, in the last twenty years you've produced some serious cricketers and some very good young cricketers. They're pretty good. The system and training facilities must be quite good. Overseas wins are hard for any team, they'll come with time.

They're playing really well, very positive. Right way to go about chasing a smallish total.

We need some serious magic from jazzy today.

One of the commentator is ruthless. He says nothing **** for every wicket. Mate batters do get out. It's not like they can bat for like 20 days without getting out. Give some credit to the bowlers too
