*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

[ashley bach]

ataraxia with the big wicket of Mitchell.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Didn't reach 100 in the last ODI ... might be struggling to reach 50 in this one!

 

[thierry henry]

DAE we suck

 

[King Kane]

I reckon that was a premeditated leave from Phillips

He isn't the type of batsman you want coming in early against the new ball on a pitch that isn't a road but neither are Seifert or Finn Allen.

It might be a T20 but you still need batsmen that can handle good bowling on a pitch with something in it for the bowlers.

I was about to say Mitchell is one of the few batsmen in this line up that can handle it but he is gone now too.

 

[ataraxia]

Dazza rescuing NZ by lofting down the ground ad infinitum is bliss

 

[Moss]

Think it’s time to declare this a proper rivalry and play for the Shakib-Vettori trophy.

 

[King Kane]

Neesham is another guy that you don't want coming in this early on a helpful pitch for the bowlers.

Chapman needs to stand up here.

The Bangla Wash-es.

This is flat, absolutely nothing in it

 

[ashley bach]

Yeah the pitch is good just the overhead conditions and good bowling to deal with.

 

[Howsie]

I don’t know how you could watch Mark Chapman bat for even 5 minutes and think ‘Yep this guy needs to bat 7 in a ODI team’

**** Stead is a bum

 

[ashley bach]

First real decent opportunity in ages for Chapman so hopefully he can seize the moment.

On this particular issue, there was no where else to fit him in once Ravindra broke into the top 6.

 

[King Kane]

This is flat, absolutely nothing in it

The pitch might be flat but there is still some swing with the new ball for the Bangladesh pace bowlers.

Two of our wickets have been to a spinner though with some cavalier batting.

44/4 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[ashley bach]

Gun spell of bowling from Mahedi.

 

[thierry henry]

Awful shot from Chapman wtf

 

[ashley bach]

Oh dear

 

[King Kane]

More cavalier batting from Chapman against a spinner.

Not what was required at this stage, he just needed to knock it around for ones and twos rather than trying to clear the fence.

There is still 10 overs left but we wont even bat out those overs at this rate.

 

[Moss]

Ronchi as batting coach sounds about right with some of these dismissals.
