[AndyZaltzHair]

Can't wait to see how we **** this game up

its the hope that kills you

 

[Test fan]

Yeah champions of the planet though, NERD

Yup by playing at Home

 

[honestbharani]

you can't surely mention shameful pitches?
India has the worst dog holes in the world by a mile, nobody comes even close.
It's so bad in fact one day teams won't tour, you can play against yourselves, India A versus India B
have fun with that.

Somehow in a thread with posts by TestFan, someone manages to make a worse one.

England is literally at the opposite side of the planet mate

This looks like being one of the darkest days in NZ Cricket history, and incredible for Bangladesh. What makes it even worse is that you could make a case for this being a Bangladesh B team with the stars they're missing.

Bangladesh have bowled bloody well. They've bowled better than New Zealand have. I don't see embarrassment in losing wickets to some of this bowling. Bangladesh have come to the Bay Oval and outperformed New Zealand. Embarrassment would be NZ giving their wickets away. Perhaps the tail and maybe Will Young in the first innings were guilty of this, but Bangladesh have earned their wickets and more credit is due to them for (i) the way they've bowled and (ii) the sensible, accumulative way that they batted. That's how you go about winning a Test against the odds.

I am so happy for Bangers. They have shown a lot more fight and grit than most expected. Them playing better than India in NZ is gonna be a thing for a while, coz they always seem to do.

This is best time for NZ to run away by making excuses of security threat .they just need service of om prakash mishra

Yeah they've been the marginally better side all through this test. This performance is an encouraging sign as they have shown the ability to fight in tough conditions. And that too going against their natural style of playing attacking or rash cricket.

There is a slight chance that they might still end up losing the game if they are reckless from here but still encouraging signs.

Who cares, we barely have 5 million people and cricket plays second fiddle to rugby. Expectations aren't *that* high. This team has made the finals of the last two ODI WC's, the T20 WC and won the WTC final. It's been a great run. I don't think we expect them to be like the Windies in the 80's or the Australia side of 20 years ago.

If Bangladesh win, which looks likely, it's great for cricket. Based on their under 19 results they are likely to a growing force in world cricket.

Dude... they totally deserved their win and mace. Dont spoil a great day for BD fans by needlessly salting about our loss to them. They are our bogey side, no shame in that, coz they are a very good side.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

this may not be a joke, Trent may well be called upon to have to bat some serious time to help save the match.

Trent won't bat to save time. He'll be trying to hit maximums to increase our lead

 

[Teja.]

Guys, the trolling/banter was fun for a bit but is getting tiresome, especially due to the blow-ins. Stop and appreciate this beautiful moment in time.

rehne de bhai, don't blame them for our incompetence with the bat.

Sweet Christmas that’s deep. So I can’t take my WTC nationality to hell?

Not really. All our identities are due to our association with our 'physical body'.

We say 'I am white or black' because of skin tone of body.

We say 'I am man or woman' because of physical gender.

We say 'I am Indian or Kiwi' because of physical birth.

We say 'I am a son/father/brother/husband' because of physical relations.

We say 'I am a Black Caps fan' because of your physical nationality etc

Once you drop your 'physical body', none of this applies, you are free from these limited identities. There is no differentiation. All the same. Everyone the same. All one.

They don't even deserve to played in WTC final ,they reached because Australia point were docked due to slow over rate .

Can we ban this idiot

 

[OverratedSanity]

I don't think ebadot is some amazing bowler in the making, but that has to be close to the best spell a Bangladeshi pacer has ever bowled right? Could've had a couple more easily too.
