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

What's going on here, Bangers getting too carried away?

 

[thierry henry]

All run 4 #Hagleysobig

 

[Skyliner]

From reading the Cricinfo commentary you'd say Latham is being aggressive and having some luck to go with it.

16.1
Ebadot Hossain to Latham, FOUR runs
Outside edge, and in between third slip and gully. Full ball outside off, with a little movement away, as Latham comes forward to block, but gets an outside edge

14.4
Ebadot Hossain to Latham, no run
Past the bat now! That was pretty full and again a little wide of off, as Latham went squeezing at that away from his body but missed

14.3
Ebadot Hossain to Latham, FOUR runs
Edged, but over the slips! More luck goes Latham's way. That was short and wide of off, but not all that wide for Latham's attempted cut. The ball took the top edge, and almost flew over the first slip fielder. Fifty up for New Zealand too

They're bowling a bit too full on average probably because those lbw calls were too high, but they're just turning into half volleys. So then they bowl too short.

Have a feeling it's gonna take them the whole session figuring out what length to bowl.

That’s some pretty pro-Bangladesh commentary. That one at 14.3 for example was short wide filth flashed safely up and over

Also Ebadot has just come off great success targeting the stumps at the Maunga. This is more of a nick off pitch (or just a road) and he’s still trying to bowl yorkers mixed in with short balls.

 

[Immenso]

That's good to hear, although it will take years for them to grow. Would have preferred them to drop something in that's fast-growing

Yeah. Should have planted jacaranda, melia, Persian Silk trees etc.

Tauranga streets and lawns are full of these.

Fast growing spreading shade trees.

 

[thierry henry]

It’s mad how thick that grass on the pitch is when you see it up close, yet there’s not much doing so far

Yeah that over Taskin just bowled where they need to be.

 

[thierry henry]

You basically need to overpitch to hit the stumps here and I think it has Ebadot a bit confused about what length to bowl

 

[nzfan]

The ball is still doing fair bit but then Tom has turned on beast mode. Haven't seen him bat this positively in ages. He does this in first class mostly but at international he's lot more circumspect. Guess he's pissed off either with the previous test result or maybe been given a bit of stick. He's out to prove people wrong I guess.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Lol is the pitch tricking visiting teams again for the 10th consecutive summer

 

[Skyliner]

Supposed to rain on days 4 and 5 of this test so I don't think NZ will be circumspect at any stage - will be keen to keep the game moving along.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Gee that was quick. Latham's got a real chance for a daddy 100 today

 

[thierry henry]

Honestly some pretty loose stuff from Latham, fun though and some lovely shots

 

[Skyliner]

Looks like a plan to attack early on in each over and not let the Banga's settle or get any control. First or second ball is going for four in every over it seems.

 

[thierry henry]

wtf just happened? Did the 3rd ump just make the fastest decision ever?

Mominul reviewed after the allowed time.

Are you watching the game?

 

[thierry henry]

There was a tiny bit of ‘noise’ on snicko as the ball went past the bat there, but not sure what to make of it
