*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

[Blocky]

Can we just send this weak bunch of village cricketers home and not bother with the tests?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Santner's limited overs bowling is really coming on imo - good variation and difficult to get away.

Less effective in tests but I like his batting more there (and his batting less in limited overs). IMO is 50/50 batting/bowling all-rounder in tests at the moment whereas in ODIs and T20s it's more like 20/80 batting/bowling.

Sounds like Vettori

In all fairness Blocky, our batsmen need to bolster their averages before the next time they play someone good.

any predictions on who will be coming in for Ronchi as he won't be available for the last t20. Personally, I hope it is Phillips, as it will fill a need at the top of the order, wicketkeeper and I'd love to see how he'd do at this level. Big fan of Blundell but rather him not miss the final.

 

[Bahnz]

It's Blundell.

Uncapped Wellington wicketkeeper Tom Blundell called into Black Caps for third Twenty20 | Stuff.co.nz

 

[straw man]

New Zealand coach Mike Hesson confirmed that Blundell would join the squad after playing in Saturday's McDonald's Super Smash final between Wellington and Central Districts in New Plymouth.

"Tom, along with (CD opener) George Worker, will play in the grand final before linking up with us after the game tomorrow night. They'll both be eligible for Sunday's third and final T20.

Never fear, you can have your cheeseburger and eat it too.

 

[Burner]

Mustafizur being rested for the tests. He plays the t20s but skips the test? Bizarre.

 

[vcs]

That's ridiculous.

 

[Flem274*]

lol what?

release taylor and wheeler for the final as well pls mike

 

[Gnske]

You know what I say, let all of BD cricket and particular Zor "pain in the ass" ax take an indefinite rest from the rat race of international, ayyyyyy.

****, you know what they say though. You get small, you get ****ed and *****ed hard, that's what's Bangies problems, they're just small guys in a big plane, Lemyao.

 

[Dick Rockett]

wtf

 

[Immenso]

Hmmm. Fantastic contribution.

 

[Gnske]

I'd like to clarify I actually love *****

 

[straw man]

Gnske please report to the hangover thread, oh wait you already have.

120-130 is being generous, he usually finishes with that. He's often around 100-110 for more than 90% of his innings and puts pressure on the hitters to hit from the get-go.

Kane 13 (14)

 

[CM Punk]

Good catch, we're in some trouble.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Not much interest in this game. Even CM Punk's anti-Williamson tirade seems half hearted.

Kane Wiliamson 24 (30)... his slow scoring has put the pressure on the others to hit because obviously Kane doesn't have it in him to score quickly.

 

[_Ed_]

I guess it's the fact that it's a dead rubber, and it hasn't been a hugely exciting start. Neesham opening was a bit of a surprise.

 

[CM Punk]

I hope Kane gets out soon, it's our finally chance of getting a good total now.

Kane is batting at a SR of 82 after facing 30 balls, how on earth is he so immune to criticism? Dude bats under 100 so often
