*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

[Days of Grace]

Nicholls has brought himself another 10 years with this knock.

Why'd they build a stadium in the middle of a paddock though?

Hmmm. Nelson is surrounded by hills and sea and then radiating out from there, big National Parks of Kahurangi and Nelson Lakes. Saxton Oval is located on a clear bit of ground on the edge of Nelson city and before you get to the satellite town of Richmond. Probably the most practical place to put it really.

Similarly, the racecourse is that side of town too. I think just the other side of Richmond. Plenty of horses round those parts.

It's... all paddocks. I do like Nelson and the upper south island tho - one of the sunnier parts of NZ.

You did this.

I don't want to push hate on Nicholls too much (mostly for fear of irking Flem), and I am a fan of playing the best side you've got, but this innings really does demonstrate how the existence of Young renders Nicholls irrelevant – the top 4 is already very set at Conway–Rachin–Williamson–Mitchell after all.

Urgh this Mahmud over (three consecutive 4s for Nicholls, Young chipping one back) seems set to disprove me.

One of the best ever ODI knocks from a Deshi?

AZH and Aritro tasting it aws

Of course now would be the perfect time to send out Josh Clarkson to get a knock under no pressure.

But NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Steady as she goes.

Chapman, Clarkson and Blundell to all get run out helping Nicholls to his 100 with 3 to win imo

Clarkson also from the Tasman (Nelson/Marl) area originally.

Just got home and turned the TV on only to see Nicholls on the verge of a century and Scotty Stevenson dribbling on about him always delivering when the pressure is on. Life is pain

Fine work, sir.

 

[straw man]

Oh, he's out.

Good innings I guess, you can only play what's in front of you, but no that Nicholls near-ton shouldn't convince anyone of anything. Won't stop some from saying he's ANSWERED HIS DETRACTORS, or similar.

Great knock from Nicholls; should get man of the match here

On second thought i think Sarkar should get it ..Wouldn't have been a reasonable game without his innings

 

[ataraxia]

Looked a decent shout. Worth going for any stretch

Is that a Kookaburra Bubble that Blundell’s sporting? Pretty sure I remember those from the mid-90s. Graham Thorpe maybe rocked the Bubble?

Just noticed that. Ian Healy as well. I loved the look of them bats.

Nah, his team is going to lose.

Early Justin Langer too maybe?
