*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

[King Kane]

A great effort to make it through the first session without losing a wicket, the second session is looking promising too.

I think its the same ****ing cyclone that cost us the last 4 days in Chennai and my uncle's life among countless others, that has now moved on all the way to the north east. I wish it dies soon.

That’s terrible, condolences. Was in Chennai during the 2015 floods, this situation seems even worse.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope your family are coping in your grief. All the best at this incredibly hard time.

If form is a reason then that's pretty poor IMO. I mean Seifert is neither here nor there for me, but Foxcroft is someone who committed to the system and after a kerfuffle around eligibility, should be persisted with more. If form was a basis, half the side should be dropped.

I didn't really expect Foxcroft in this squad. I fully expect him in the T20 squad, though.

I'm not even that mad about Latham/Nicholls/Blundell. With so many players rested, Latham was the only realistic captain left. They'll all get rested after this anyway.
Great to see Clarkson, O'Rourke & Ashok in the squad.

I get a day off and it rains. Hope the forecast is better tomorrow.

It's always fascinating when something infrequent in the game pops up. Here Mushfiqur becomes only the 8th player in the history of the game to be
dismissed obstructing the field. What is truly remarkable however, is that about half an hour before getting out he did almost exactly the same thing.
On this occasion however, the ball spun backwards and just went past Mushfiqur's off stump, but there he was having a swing at the ball with his hand.
The first time was bizarre and then to get out the second time makes it one of the most peculiar actions taken from a player ever seen.

Found it on the extended highlights..check out 16:24
LOL the guy was on drugs yesterday.

 

[King Kane]

Our best day of the series so far with no wickets lost.

Latham and Nicholls probably still the first ones out in the dressing room card games though.

Bangladesh may achieve a big milestone in a few days. Finally becoming [consistently] decent at home?

Wish this was true, but since 2019ish we've lost home series to Pakistan, Sri Lanka, West Indies, India and one-off test against Afghanistan. We've won a subsequent series against Afghanistan, and another one against Ireland. Unfortunately, we haven't been consistently anything other than embarrassing.

Aritro relinquishing a tale of sad and sorry truths.

every chance of nz getting all out within 100 and bd under 75 in second innings

 

[Aidan11]

Finally back out on the pitch.

 

[King Kane]

Hopefully the pitch has got easier to bat on but I doubt it.
