*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

[jonbrooks]

Hmm ... I must be missing something here. What is Ferguson doing in this team?

 

[vcs]

Come on Bangladesh

Man I don't get why they have Mosaddek Hossain down at 7. Kid seems like the real deal.

 

[Athlai]

Ferguson is in the team for express bowling. Which he seems to manage for 2-3 overs. He's a baked potato.

Excitement about the pace, which is fair enough. He's a gamble though unless the wicket is really conducive to 150km bowling. Small NZ grounds with funny angles can get very ugly for 145+ bowlers if you're not getting wickets.

FFS, In spite of being one of the best fielding units around for donkey's years, I swear NZ miss hitting the stumps when it actually matters more than any other international team.

McCullum in the Adelaide test is the last time I remember one of our guys getting a direct hit, and then a long time prior to that. It's like we hit 1 in every 30 or something, it's uncanny.

 

[Blocky]

Williamson has to be the worst captain in international cricket at the moment.

We have never been good at that.

Oh I see now! Getting carted to all corners of the ground. Giving away lots of wides. Sucking in general is excitement. Gotcha.

 

[jonbrooks]

Oops sorry folks. I forgot no balls and free hits for 6. WAG!

 

[Zinzan]

Jeez Bangers will be dirty on themselves if they don't get home from here. Wicket has flattened out with no seam movement now & a asking rate of about 5 an over with 9 wickets in hand. Will be a case of them snatching defeat from the jaws of victory here.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Simon Doull can crap on all he likes about the umpire making a duff no ball call, but it wasn't the ump that bowled a complete ****ing pie as the free hit ball.

I said it's fair enough they're excited about the pace, I wouldn't have played him on a small ground on a wicket like this. Even if he gets it right top edges off him will easily clear the fence here.

 

[CM Punk]

I'm off the Lockie Ferguson bandwagon

Can't see how we can win this, we don't have the bowlers or a good captain to win us these games.

He's not even that fast. Has he topped 150 today?

 

[Zinzan]

No but remember our speed gun readings are real. He was 152 on Australia's cranked-up speed guns. He's been 148 tops today. Anyway, to date he's been a liability at international level.

I've seen BD lose many games from this position.

NZ still favs IMO

 

[Blocky]

Ferguson is single handidly allowing Bangladesh to stay in this match, Williamson is letting him do it too, ****ing hopeless.

One of your better Gambirs there. Not sure where the wickets are supposed to come from, the wicket looks superb for batting now, no seam, no swing & no scoreboard pressure. Unless there's another 9 gifted wickets like the first one, it's difficult to see another way.
