*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

[thierry henry]

Mominul has 8 career wickets but he has a combined 4/50 against NZ in the last 2 years

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I thought Sodhi would bat ahead of Jamieson, especially against spin.

 

[Athlai]

29th!

Now as many centuries as the Don, a milestone I never thought a NZ batsman would reach.

Kane the Boat!

 

[Flem274*]

BD must be kicking themselves. Had the chance to get a decisive yesterday but threw it away in the last session and then dropped KW twice today. Just seems like they self destruct whenever they get a sniff.

Unless Ebadot is bowling on Day 5 at the Mount.

They've beaten Australia and England in their home games, still a strong chance here I reckon.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

29th hundred!

Equal with Bradman

 

[Flem274*]

Noice Kane. Glued the innings together.

 

[Flem274*]

Be interesting here to see how serious KJ is. He's really regressed from the promising #8 he previously looked as if, not to mention his bowling demise.

Did he really hit 140kph yesterday like Howsie posted?

 

[ataraxia]

Kane keeps scoring test runs every time he makes a game these days. It's incredible

 

[thierry henry]

Did he really hit 140kph yesterday like Howsie posted?

Definitely yes, I didn’t watch the whole day but saw him over 140.

 

[thierry henry]

Why do they keep saying Mominul hasn’t bowled in 9 years? It isn’t even close to correct

 

[Mike5181]

Four centuries in his last five innings, not bad.

 

[Athlai]

Why do they keep saying Mominul hasn’t bowled in 9 years? It isn’t even close to correct

Hes been training in the room of spirit and time

 

[Flem274*]

Definitely yes, I didn’t watch the whole day but saw him over 140.

Ok, that's a boost. There's always that strong trend of back injuries turning kiwi quicks into specialist batsmen who bowl.

 

[King Kane]

Noice Kane. Glued the innings together.

We would have been in real trouble without his ton, no one else has been able to make it past 50.

That drop off him looking pretty costly now too.

 

[Daemon]

Kane has been very consistent despite the many sporadic injuries. Just seems to slot back in with no fuss.

 

[thierry henry]

Ok, that's a boost. There's always that strong trend of back injuries turning kiwi quicks into specialist batsmen who bowl.

I’m repeating myself but I honestly reckon comeback KJ has looked fine. Just can’t expect to keep averaging like 17 forever maybe.

 

[Athlai]

Will Jamieson activate the long levers?

 

[Flem274*]

Will Jamieson activate the long levers?

He's a shithouse ODI bowler but it wouldn't have been surprising to see his long levers continue to derail India in the semi.

 

[Athlai]

We really need to roll Bangers for under 150

 

[Howsie]

KW's home record against all sides is beyond reproach. The sub no one ever reads is more concerned with dissecting his away record, but in a manner that ignores all the good games.

Poor record in England and India. Have always thought he bats way to defensively in England, just gets himself into a hole. Ashwin had him on toast one tour in India

Anyone that tries to use his record in South Africa against him is brain dead. Two test matches when he was 22 and since then NZ have played one test where he was going along well on 70 odd before we collapsed and he was last man left.
