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

[Fuller Pilch]

Listening to radio commentary - talked about former BC allrounders Jacob Oram and John Bracewell.

Bracewell scored a test century but a bit of a stretch to call him an all rounder.

 

[Spark]

Is there a reason Williamson isn't playing?

No shakib too. Two 2 day tests incoming.

I'd be surprised if Bangladesh bowled well enough to keep it to 2-day Tests. Rare chance for the NZ batsmen to pump their averages.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Is there a reason Williamson isn't playing?

Elbow injury. It troubled him in the World T20 and made him miss the 2nd test in India

 

[ashley bach]

sure all NZ cricket fans hoping for some success here for Ross.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Important innings today (or tomorrow) for different reasons for Taylor, Nicholls, Blundell, and Ravindra.

 

[thierry henry]

Ross needs to eke out every run he can get, smashing them straight to fielders is not ideal

 

[Meridio]

It's either going to be a run a ball century or single figures for Taylor here by the looks of things

 

[OverratedSanity]

Why isn't Tamil playing?

 

[Spark]

He's facing bowlers with a combined Test average of 140. So long as he doesn't do anything stupid, there's runs for days out there.

 

[ataraxia]

heh while Ross is at the crease Conway plays the Taylor shot bouncing it up over the infield

 

[Gnske]

Elbow injury. It troubled him in the World T20 and made him miss the 2nd test in India

It seems like the sort of an injury that really won't get better unless he goes under the knife.

Bracewell was only a handy bat.
his claim to fame in test cricket was having the wood over Allan Border.

Is everyone else’s Spark stream completely ****ed

it's awful, as in it's delayed by 30-40 seconds.

wish that was the only problem I had. It basically freezes every minute.

Bowled NZ to wins over Australia (in Auckland), over India in India, and scored his sole century in a win over England in England. Pretty good commentator but random coach.

ouch that is bad, stream here is fine, just the delay a killer.

 

[straw man]

Taylor finally finds a couple of gaps. Nice of Ebadot to feed the cut shot.

 

[Chewie]

Mine was changing quality up and down a bit but no freezes

 

[Binkley]

wish that was the only problem I had. It basically freezes every minute.

I have the same issue. Freezes for about 10 seconds every minute, meaning I am constantly falling behind in 10 second increments.
