*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

Boo

But Phillips!

 

[Alex0paul]

Disappointing

 

[ataraxia]

Rachin's 9 against Bangladesh and scores against Australia, India, Pakistan, and (minnows) England working against him here.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Absolutely rubbish team. I cant believe we have gone for extra batter, Three spinners and one pacer! This is 2003 all over again. Everything is backward with chandika. We cant even fire him because of huge financial involvement.

Chandika was keen on kicking Donald out because he would not let this happen. He was constantly creating pressure to pick extra pacers in the playing XI. I am so mad at this.

 

[ataraxia]

Oh well, at least it means that Ravindra won't get accused of stats-padding against Bangladesh when he's being compared to Ponting in 15 years' time.

They would've batted him at 6 or 7 anyway, so Phillips would be much better in that role and is an offie.

Joker

 

[ataraxia]

Mitchell: I want to have a greater role with ball
Southee: "we are playing 3 spinners and 2 pacers", counting Phillips but not Mitchell

 

[thierry henry]

No Joy for Southee but I think he Hasan even better chance of dismissing the other guy

(I'm not even a Dad)

 

[Blain]

They will justify the non selection of Ravindra by saying Phillips spins the ball the other way. But - What about Nicholls? Why are we going back to the future with these types of matches? That's why our bowling attack is aging fast with no replacements, short sighted selections.

 

[ataraxia]

Very close

 

[thierry henry]

wasting a review after 8 balls, we're back baby

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

clear bat then pad in the replays but rod tucker didnt know until he saw ultra edge

 

[Athlai]

Bit high?

 

[Athlai]

Na just down leg

 

[Athlai]

Lets "rest" Nicholls or Latham from the next game

 

[Athlai]

Southee bowling very well

Well Stead said in an interview recently that he has no responsibility to build for the future and that’s what domestic cricket is for, so what else can we expect.

The man’s a moron who wants a repeat of the 1990s decade long 80s hangover.

 

[ataraxia]

I must say, it's really good that we're going into this series full strength. Right after the WC, in Bangladesh, many sides would rest players. But we have our 500 par batting lineup intact.
