Official NZ in Bangladesh (5 T20s)

I'm just hoping they stop this slow T20 decks for the rest of the series and prepare a flat one. Bangladesh have good chance to win on a good batting deck. Otherwise their batters will average 10s and go to the world cup with no confidence. We don't have to worry about batters none of them are going to the world cup

You reckon? I think it's stickier and isn't coming onto the bat as much. More grip for spinners and cutter bowlers as well
It's spinning less but it's definitely not conducive for shot making. Probably at best to tap around for singles

Cole’s not in the WC squad is he? looks like he could play the N McCullum role in T20s and probably a better cricketer overall.

Glad we're not going to be white washed, hope I haven't said that too early. We only have faster bowlers to bowl. You never know in cricket

I'm out, there's a test match to watch. Congrats New Zealand on a commanding performance. Very good with bat and ball IMO, the spinners particularly have been superb.

Think I've liked Duffy the most of our seam bowlers in these conditions. Thought Bracewell might do ok with those undercutters he bowls, but nah.

Caveat - tiny sample size. Caveat - just pick two more spinners instead.

Well played NZ.

We need to rethink about our batting and inclusion of Mushfiq in the team. I don’t think he’s a good t20 player. Maybe when conditions are tough, we will need him for run a ball sort of innings. But hardly such matches are played outside BD. I’d not select him in WC t20 squad.

I'm actually super surprised the three spinners have delivered in all three games. They haven't had an off game.

I was following the Aussies and they were reasonable but not at relenting. When did we start producing good spinners?

Also shows the value of spinning all rounder in ravindra. You can accommodate a top order batsman and a bowler of reasonable quality. He's not a part time bowler definitely not on turning decks

Must be a coaching thing, who's our spin coach?
