*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

[Neil Young]

Totally. I feel like they told Bowes to bat as if he was opening still and got the same results.

Would've been good to see Foxcroft to get a tryout but probably though Gametime in Australia would be better than sending him over there.

It's the Nicholls paradigm. Play Bowes until he finally scores something and believe that justifies months of failures.

Oof that’s horrible

Sodhi’s match!

Never been his biggest fan but this is a very timely confidence builder before the WC. Ravindra’s been useful too.

 

[Aritro]

Happy to report that I switched over to the football a good while ago, but well done to the Kiwis. Too good for us on all fronts.

Lovely to see he's still got a performance left in him 17 years after he hit his peak.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This pitch heavily suited NZ otherwise how did they pull such big win? Weird.

Sodhi has a bit of history against us pulling up five fers at will. In fact all the leggies- Imran Tahir, Rashid Khan, Zampa etc etc. We don’t know how to play them.

 

[Moss]

This must be NZ’s first ODI victory over Bangladesh in Bangladesh in a really long time. Can recall a couple of clean sweeps in the previous decade, and besides that really fun T20 series 2 years ago, don’t think they’ve visited in a while.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The streak has ended

 

[SteveNZ]

The captain always needs the ability to withdraw the appeal, otherwise you'd get stuff like the Sidebottom/Elliott collision where there's been an appeal in the heat of the moment, but it clearly shouldn't be out (ok, Collingwood didn't withdraw the appeal in that example, but he's a dick).

So I don't see what else you can do, it's just a case by case thing and up to the individuals involved. All part of the randomness of cricket!

Yeah I've got no problem with the withdrawal, it's the grey area around Mankads. No one should be able to withdraw it if it's a bona-fide dismissal which we're told it is. It's either out or not. As it stands, it's so inconsistent.

Bangladesh pitches are the best white-ball pitches.

needs to happen in a WC final involving England or India

Very true. Would've been ideal at Lord's- see Carey.A.

 

[thundaboult]

Ishhh! Hahahahahaha what a day out, great to see someone build this much confidence in 1 day so close a WC.

And thanks bangladesh for snatching away the 1 trophy we do actually win on a consistent basis ... the SpIRiT oF KIrKiT award, how generous of you.

Sodhi generally all rounder during his all previous tour of Asian sub-continent in all Format

Sodhi’s match!

Never been his biggest fan but this is a very timely confidence builder before the WC. Ravindra’s been useful too.

He's been bowling better over the last 2-3 months including in The Hundred in the UK since he tinkered with his run-up which has resulted in him getting his standard delivery through a bit quicker. We're lucky to have both he and Santner in a WC in the SC.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yeah sodhi is absolutely key for us - mid-overs wickets are king in ODIs and we don't have another reliable source of them.

Iirc he said he changed his approach to bowling in a post match interview after the Pakistan test series where he was out best bowler. He's been superb for sometime now.
