37th Match - New Zealand v Bangladesh (13th March)

[halba]

that was entirely unconvincing. NZ have that 'choking' feeling 3 times out of 6 group games. thankfully they've passed on all occasions, but its going to bite them in the knock outs against more seasoned opposition. West indies, south africa will fancy their chances after watching a videotape of scotland, australia and bangladesh group games.

halba who do you think will win the world cup? because you think everyone sucks

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Noted unseasoned opposition Australia.

Works both ways for Australia, whoever is playing them will fancy their chances as they can collapse in a heap with good bowling.

 

[Zinzan]

At least we won't be content going into the quarter. Thought McCullum was excellent in that speech.

 

[harsh.ag]

god i hope they stuff you

We're meeting you in the finals Flem. And you will see the face of greatness when Shami, Umesh, and Mohit choke your line-up in a chase of 319

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Yup, great post-match comments.

<insert> your previous assessments of South Africa & the West Indies and everyone loses.

This happened.

Amazing. So casual about it too.

I wanted more Latham reaction but they cut away.

Really I just wanted more Latham.

 

[Immenso]

Guptill building into form, Tayor getting worse by the ball.

The Lord giveth, the lord taketh away.

If I had the choice I'd opt for an in-form Taylor.

A month of pool play comes to an end on Sunday, with a couple of places in the QFs still to be decided. So far so good.

 

[YorksLanka]

good on Bangladesh pushing NZ so hard which not many teams in this tournament have done so far..

 

[Bahnz]

A bit rusty all round, with average bowling, poor fielding, and 0 contribution from 2 of the big 3. Still, it's pleasing to see NZ chase a big total without contributions from BMac and KW, even if it was against a weak bowling attack. Hopefully Milne is back and fully fit soon enough.

 

[viriya]

Corey Anderson is money in the bank. He will win NZ a world cup.

 

[hendrix]

Yeah I was pretty happy with Corey's innings there, and his bowling was excellent too.

It's not about ticking boxes. Boxes were ticked before the squad was selected.

It's about winning.

 

[Flem274*]

what did baz say in his speech?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

done. I never would have thought it possible to somehow end up finding Tui more disgusting than I already did

 

[Grasshopper]

A timely work-out for 4,5 and 6.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

and Tim Southee. Has there ever been a tailender so hilariously skilled at clearing the rope?
