Great to see Spark's highlight team are still doing stellar work....Might prove to be a mistake if the Mount pitch is anything like this one.
Last night's game was a used pitch and one to the far right. Usually reserved for bowling practice by the side. The one that will be served up for test match will be the center wicket with lush green top I don't think they are going to cut much of grass from the center pitch.Might prove to be a mistake if the Mount pitch is anything like this one.
I worry that will lead to a player drain the way European rugby clubs have drained NZ rugby. If Immigration NZ keep screwing over the likes of Foxcroft the South African talent pipeline might get diverted there too.Interesting to see former Central Stags spinner Marty Kain now playing T20 internationals for USA.
To some extent, it already is. Obus Pienaar's gone to the USA. Wasn't old Crusty Theron turning out for them recently.I worry that will lead to a player drain the way European rugby clubs have drained NZ rugby.

Never heard of Chowdhury, didn't think he was in the squad. Taskin is a genuine quick. Saw him at basin in 2017/18 and he's barely played test cricket since. A tall quick bowler that bowls heavy innies. Takes it away from the lefties. Looking up he's only played 8 test matches since.Haven't seen AJ Chowdhury before, wonder what he bowls like.
Have to like Taskin, being a (the only) genuine Bangladesh quick. We've talked about Taylor getting a nice hundred v Bangladesh and then retiring from tests, but Taskin bowling full and straight to square him up may give him problems.
Oh... He's actually quite good. Remember him knocking over Jeet Raval and Tom Latham early in one of the test matches (basin?). Then Ross and Nicholls scored big to win is the game by an inning I think.I think Chowdhury is Abu Jayed, who's played 13 tests.

Yeah Jayed's good with the new ball. More or less useless afterwards though.Oh... He's actually quite good. Remember him knocking over Jeet Raval and Tom Latham early in one of the test matches (basin?). Then Ross and Nicholls scored big to win is the game by an inning I think.
