That's a statement of intent , knock the part timer down the ground for 4 and walk out for lunch . 300 lead , BD in the box seat .

He's not the Macewell we deserve, but he's the Macewell we need.

Yeah they are still in front despite us taking 4 wickets for that session, any lead over 300 is going to be tough to chase and it could still be over 350.
And to think that you used to not know what he bowled
I've had faith in his bowling since CPL times

There's about 55 overs left for today + 85 overs (maximum number of overs each day so far due to light) tomorrow that's 140 left in this test. I think Bangladesh can bat another 15-20 overs at 3-4 rpo they can at least secure a draw and take their chances at bowling NZ out.

Another 60 would be very good for the Tigers.

Shahadat is really such a Bangladesh selection.
Absolutely no faith in any systems or progression structures at all. Pick some poor **** when he's 21 and has no record to speak of, see him fail because he's not ready, and then probably refuse to pick him ten years later when he's actually good because he's a proven failure. If you do recall him and he fails again, take absolutely no blame for the horrible mind-bending treatment and just say he couldn't hack it.

Will make for a more competitive test though. You're well ahead

Whatever it takes!!!
It will only be interesting if NZ get to 100/3 or 4 or something. Anything else and NZ should walk this.

This is such a weird game.
Bangladesh have been clearly the more skilled team in these conditions but are losing (or at least, not really winning) anyway because the other team are doing all the little things right and seem to 'want it more'.
That happens sometimes in cricket, but usually (no - always) when it does it's a massive upset by a less fancied team! Bangladesh as Goliath vs New Zealand's David is hilarious.

Yeah they just fall over pathetically for the last 3 wickets every time, it's dreadful.
Still not confident in this lead tbh. I'm still scarred from some other matches where we've wilted with the ball in the fourth innings.
