Official NZ in Bangladesh (5 T20s)

Despite the missed stumping that 1-run over brought us back into this a little - last three overs should be fun.

Who’s the commentator who just finished, not the gravelly voiced guy but the other guy (sounds like he was an ex-player from the 80s/90s)? What an absolutely obnoxious prick.
from what i've seen and heard from their media since they got good, they're trying to be india but without the results to back up the chat.

it's a shame because i like a lot of their players and cw posters.

Too much of a risk bowling Cole? He’s had an off day but still better bet for getting a wicket and inducing some pressure where there doesn’t need to be.

Based on the commentary this series you’d think every ex-Bangladesh cricketer and current broadcaster was both a total scumbag, and knew nothing about cricket

Hamish Bennett is so weird. When he was a good ODI bowler sending down heat he was just good but not outstanding in domestic cricket. Now he dominates domestic cricket (may have been quiet last season tbf) but looks way past it now he's old and slow.

One of them is former India pacer Atul Wassan. Guess BD commentary is an avenue for Ex-Indian players who aren’t big-name enough for the Indian networks.

Also (in more recent times) ignored when he should have been selected and vice-versa apparently.

Good win to Bangladesh. The army of spinners has some serious promise to it.

Good learning experience for our boys. These are the most opposite to NZ conditions they'll ever see.

And if that bloke is gonna play bouncers that bad then NZ should just bowl normal pace tbh.

It actually may have been Wassan who was the complete jackass. He was talking about playing against Martin Snedden.
