Is Moses injured btw?Yeah this is really a woeful Bangladeshi XI. Reckon if you had lost another wicket against the new ball, Bangladesh wouldn't have made it to tea.

Is that Mosaddek? I'm not all in on every ***** nickname ffs. Don't think so?Is Moses injured btw?
Haha yeah it is Mosaddek. I just found it odd they'd pick Shanto ahead of him, but they've pretty odd in general with how they've treated him so I guess I'm not too surprised.Is that Mosaddek? I'm not all in on every ***** nickname ffs. Don't think so?
Played well in last u19 wc. Quite a bit of hype around him but I think he has been drafted a bit early. Mosaddek was next in line but they dumped him for Nazmul here because apparently Nazmul is a better player of pace and swing and they felt it's time to throw the kid in the deep end.
AZH's post on it was a good one.Haha yeah it is Mosaddek. I just found it odd they'd pick Shanto ahead of him, but they've pretty odd in general with how they've treated him so I guess I'm not too surprised.
Part of me hopes he fails but is persisted with for ages so we can call him Shunto.AZH's post on it was a good one.
I literally had no idea who Nazmul was.
Thats going to be a hard nickname to beat.Part of me hopes he fails but is persisted with for ages so we can call him Shunto.
Inb4 ***** comes back with a multi just to give Nazmul a nicknamePart of me hopes he fails but is persisted with for ages so we can call him Shunto.
Yeah he'll be gutted, can always tell he hates when his nicknames don't stick for the Bangladeshi players.Inb4 ***** comes back with a multi just to give Nazmul a nickname
Don't think so. He left NZ as he was not part of the Test Squad; seems strange that he was left out whilst Nazmul Hossain Shanto, who was originally part of a development preliminary squad, was kept in NZ, and now finds himself making his debut. Looking forward to see how he gets on, he is highly rated. Also I want to see Sabbir in next and see how he does with the opportunity batting higher up the order. Wanna see what Nurul's keeping is like, he is supposedly the best pure keeper in BD. This might also be his best format in terms of batting. And we might even see Miraz hit his highest score yet....Is Moses injured btw?
Looking forward to a classy 3 from Miraz.Don't think so.

Hopefully all the unfortunate injuries can turn out to be blessing in disguise.
Yeah no doubt Nurul's best format should be longer version. Already played 49 FC matches.Don't think so.

It's a test matchSouthee and Boult bowled out. Bangladesh looking at 300 here if they power on through the final 10.
I love how Southee always looks so smug and secure about his place in the side & that fact that he can get away with utter mediocrity at no cost partly because we don't have too many other options currently.Southee and Boult bowled out.

Southee hasnt bowled too badly here. His figure does not reflect that obviously.I love how Southee always looks so smug and secure about his place in the side & that fact that he can get away with utter mediocrity at no cost partly because we don't have too many other options currently.
Even though I can't confidently say there's much better options to replace him, I would have thought about dropping him for this game purely as a tactical play, to send a rocket up his ass so he can go away and think about his entitled inclusion. Getting dropped was the best thing that ever happened to him back in early 2012 or whenever it was, and he came back hungry.
There's actually plenty enough in it for the seamers, the problem is they like to sigh & oooh about how unlucky they are when they bowl one in the right area and it beats the bat or induces a false shot. You need more than 1 or 2 an over in the right place to deserve wickets. Watch the way Philander and Abbott do it, they land 5-6 out of 6 every time. I don't expect Soult to be quite at their class, but I would like them to consistently 3-4 an over in the right spot.Got to bring Santner now
