*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

[Blocky]

Fuel that fire Waggy... fuel that fire, keeping hitting him, it'll only make him bowl better.

 

[CM Punk]

And they continue batting, and we were oh so surprised..

Grow a pair, Kane.

I'd take suicidal Baz over 'I left my balls in my purse' Kane.

 

[CM Punk]

Where the hell was this last session, a bit too late now...

Last session was where they needed to push for a win, now all hope of an unlikely win are gone.

 

[Blocky]

Wind has died down, temperature has gone up, if the ball is ever going to swing in Wellington, these are the conditions for it.

 

[Zinzan]

I actually think Tom Bruce has the best chance to get his permanent mitts on that vacant number 5 Test slot.

Might take a another year though.

 

[Blocky]

Got to handle it when you're dishing it out.

But I wouldn't be surprised if Waggy comes out on fire in the second innings.

 

[Blocky]

Tamim seems like a real good dude, bantering with Wagner while he gets treatment, talking about "Give him the Anil Kumble treatment when he had the wrapping right around his head"

 

[Blocky]

I don't mind this, Smith being a bitch about it, I just think it's fueling Wagner up.

 

[CM Punk]

I don't mind this, Smith being a bitch about it, I just think it's fueling Wagner up.

Wagner's fault for not being able to duck them

 

[Zinzan]

Agree, this is test cricket. Wagner's choosing the more challenging option of trying to whack it. Fair cop.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Concussion much?

 

[Zinzan]

Concussion much?

I doubt it tbh.

 

[Blocky]

The helmets they have today, and the fact that the ball isn't exactly a thunderbolt, Waggy will be fine - I just think you'll find him add a few KPH to his bowling deliveries while out there.

Those hits by Wagner were some good watching, I also like the fact that he's effectively saying Fine, bowl short at me, I'll hook you - won't always come off, but when it does it's good watching.

 

[hendrix]

Good from Santner.

 

[Blocky]

Why are we subjecting Boult to this? He's going to get the shorter pitched stuff too, there is very little that can be achieved with him being out there and unlike the Iron Man of NZ Cricket, anything that hits Boult will rattle him.

Although that on drive is spectacular.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Taylor is already a failed captaincy attempt, Latham needs to establish himself, Watling would be fine in my view but they won't go that way, they'll keep Kane in the role for several years regardless.

This. And improvement happens

 

[Zinzan]

Most elegant on-drive of the match so far.

 

[Zinzan]

Jeez everything's in slow motion, the over rate has been horrendous... get the **** on with it.

Captain's need to think about their fields during the previous over instead of taking 3 minutes at the start of overs.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

And with technique like that you kind of wonder why he hasn't made more runs

 

[cnerd123]

If this was Ranji cricket BD would be winning
