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

[straw man]

Fitting end to the innings.

This pitch is flat but not as slow as many NZ ones, a new-ball surface. Could yet ease to a real road, not sure. Bangladesh batting probably won't punish NZ for this low first innings score, but if they somehow can get through the first thirty overs only one or two down, there's no reason they shouldn't make it count.

Another 9* for the best #11 in history

Was it better than the Rob Quinny 9?

We went from the worst #11 in the history of the game to the best. Weird.

Is there anything commentators love more than saying how you have to get bouncers head height

Tough little period here before lunch

Rolled by Bangladeshathome, no wickets in the first over, this means we’re minnows again right

I hear James Bazley has a NZ grandmother. Nathan Fien's second cousin. You should call him up IMO.

What can Bangladesh score here 200 max I think

 

[nightprowler10]

Wow, well done by bangbros. What's par on this wicket?

 

[NZTailender]

If Bangladesh be sensible and navigate the new ball and not get pulled into the short ball meme they could put up a competitive total

Excellent nickname

350 acceptable, 400 good, 500 rip opposition

 

[slippy888]

When have Bangladesh ever been sensible playing away from home

 

[SteveNZ]

Don't care, shouldn't happen. Yes the core of the problem was soft/odd dismissals for Young, Taylor, Conway, Blundell, but the tail chipping catches off Mehidy is right in line with that.

Jamieson's dismissal should put to bed any discussion around him batting at 7. Incredibly irresponsible

 

[Gnske]

Ffs this is limp, start Wagnerball already you cowards

 

[jcas0167]

yeah I'd actually forgotten, guess it had to be someone who'd been around a long time.
remember Dipak Patel in tears getting out for 99 after his one only real chance for a ton.
remember Hogan's smashing up in the dressing room after his 299.

Apparently showered with kit on yelling "****! ****!"

Patel getting run out for 99 was equally heartbreaking. Loved watching him bat.

 

[trundler]

Wasn't expecting that

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

The Patel one was more tragic because the throw was a huge Hail Mary from Derek Randall (?) that somehow managed to be perfect.

Yeah, Derek Pringle. All innings he had been bowling them back allowing an easy one on the arm. Then when Patel went for a third to bring up the ton he releases a bullet throw over the stumps.

Joy has really mastered middling the forward defence from an 8th stump line

Really is impressive. Massive rap on this kid, he'll go places. X Factor.
