***Official*** Bangladesh in NZ 2021-22

[AndyZaltzHair]

I am really really confused about our bowling line up. Taskin and Shoriful lock in but why not Abu Jayed and Taijul playing instead of Ebadot and Miraz? I mean leaving out Taijul for a bit of batting from Miraz makes no sense when you have in form keeper batting at no.7

The scorecard graphics look incredibly cheap this year

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Not a bad ball in those first 6 overs. Excellent start.

All the good work will be undone by Ebadot and Miraz

Was about to say. As impressive as this is, it's bound to go horribly wrong

 

[Gnske]

I have no idea what point Richardson is trying to make here. Just say they changed the batting order idiot.

 

[straw man]

Woke up and checked the score, did not expect this. Great start by Bangladesh I guess. Looks a beautiful day for batting though.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Not a bad first over from Ebadot.

 

[straw man]

Agree with what Richardson is saying right now re Blundell. Cleaver and Fletcher nipping at his heels, we know Blundell has a lot more to offer with the bat than he showed in India, so back him to perform again, but he first and foremost needs to be faultless with the gloves.

Has a camera gone out of action at one end? Seem to be using a more wide angle one?

 

[thierry henry]

Ebadot looks like he’s bowling about 20kph slower than what the radar says. Is he one of those crap bowlers who is seen as promising because he bowls a deceptively ‘heavy ball’?

Love Taskin

 

[slippy888]

bangladesh have been terrible on new zealand tours not expecting much from them

 

[thierry henry]

Maybe it’s just my hangover making everything seem sluggish, but this attempted commentary banter ain’t great

 

[thierry henry]

Taskin well down on pace from last summer, is it just that it’s a test or something else?

 

[straw man]

Ebadot bowled one at 140k there apparently.
People seem to like ****ing on him and obviously he has a terrible average, but his action is reasonably nice, if he can be accurate could be successful.

Sounds like me at 1am

I think he is focusing on line and length, rather than pace given the friendly bowling conditions. Very much seems to be bowling within himself.

 

[Gnske]

I think Ebadot is one of the smooth brained bowlers

 

[Meridio]

We've been noticeably more positive against the non-Taskin bowlers here. Were happy to leave a lot from Taskin and Shoriful (in his first spell), but now a bit of shine has come off the ball and Ebadot has come on, plus Shoriful for a second spell, there's a lot more #intent to score. Reckon it's going to be flat as **** by halfway through this afternoon, just need to not cough up cheap wickets.
