*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

[The Hutt Rec]

Saw Wagner off; which reduces the threat of wickets, and meanwhile they're eating time out of the game too which will start to deflate the NZers in the field and shift momentum.

You've watched Test Cricket before right?

Of course I have.

Why aren't they targeting the max zone? Fielding restrictions must be coming off soon.

 

[straw man]

Still time for all eleven of our guys to drop a catch this match? We're up to 6 iirc.

 

[Blocky]

Got to love Southee "Oh, Wagner was having success doing that... I can do that too" without the realisation his shorter pitched stuff is trash.

 

[Zinzan]

FMD mate, blokes in the 80s faced the West Indies with broken fingers, thumbs and hands. Let's be realistic here.

Clarke made 160 odd against SA with a fractured collarbone ffs.

Precisely

 

[Burgey]

Tbf no one would have been game to bowl short to Marshall, broken arm or not!

The bronze of him bowling in that match with his arm in a cast is a great sculpture at the Lord's museum.

 

[Blocky]

Don't review on Reiffel.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Looks like theres a gap

 

[Zinzan]

Lol Southee

 

[Blocky]

Don't review on Reiffel.

Told you.

 

[Blocky]

Here in lies the problem with Wagner's success on the shorter pitched bowling, Boult and Southee think it's the answer for them to get wickets and go away from what usually works for them; and they're just no where near as quick off the wicket, nor as accurate with it.

 

[Blocky]

Take him off; that's the worst spot to get sconned.

 

[Zinzan]

Yup, doesn't look good at all. It's amazing with all these developments into the helmet, that it can result in this, even hitting the helmet flush.

Getting hit right on the side of the helmet screws with you bigtime, because it rattles your head in a manner that isn't usual.

Unfortunately though, if you're willing to pepper the opposition tail with bouncers like they did Wagner, you're going to get them back in good spades, but that was batting error, the ball was too full to duck.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

How bad does it look? Is he able to stand/walk etc?

.

I know it well, been sconned there myself, once top-edging one straight in the side. Let's just hope the development into new materials in helmets, to make them even more effective continues.

His legs have moved but he is been manouvered onto strectcher from lying position has neck brace on. Ambulance on ground

Just saw the commentary on cricinfo - sounds awful, really hope Mushfiqur is alright.

Ok thanks. Prayers for the little man - perhaps he will come back and do a Sutcliffe after lunch

 

[Zinzan]

He's moving, but not standing at this stage. Looks like a fairly bad concussion from a far. Would be dubious for him to attempt to return to the crease later on after that, in fact I highly doubt the medical people would allow it.

This doesn't sound good at all. Just loaded sky go, see they've gone to ads.
