*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

[Prince EWS]

Is it just me or is Kamrul actually bowling well

He's been okay, yeah. I've stopped thinking they should have picked Rubel ahead of him, which is a start.

 

[Zinzan]

It's his away record in those countries that's bringing the averages down. Except Pakistan - he's > 50 against them away.

Australia is the exception, although tbf those two hundreds he scored there were 2 of the flattest roads I can remember for a long time, with one being that Perth wicket where Taylor scored the 290.

Who dropped that catch in slips earlier? Sabbir?

Yeah, he has a great away record against Aussie and Pakistan, and a terrible home record against those countries.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, he has a great away record against Aussie and Pakistan, and a terrible home record against those countries.

He also scored a big hundred in the UAE in the Phil Hughes Test when Pakistan couldn't be ****ed.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Still a long way off, but NZ could really throw the cat amongst the pigeons with Bangladesh by declaring 199 behind.

It's hard to think Bangers would have the courage to risk a generous declaration in that case to risk losing after scoring nearly 600 1st innings.

 

[Burgey]

Shakib

Number of important drops in the slips:

Shakib 1
Allan Border 0

 

[_Ed_]

Jeez I'll be ****ed off if Latham has a concentration lapse and gets out for 60 again. He needs to push on today.

 

[cnerd123]

NZ are scoring 700 here. Just hoping they take long enough to get there that we can escape with a draw.

We'll declare before we get that many.

Shakib 1
Allan Border 0

Are you using slip catching as a means to say Border is a better cricketer than Shakib while both are equally good as batsmen?

No.

 

[NZTailender]

Latham's wagon wheel is pretty interesting. Nothing in front of the wicket basically.

 

[NZTailender]

Geeze that's soft. Wheres your concentration gone, Kane? Turning into Latham.


Was a good 50 though. But on this pitch and this bowling he really should've gone on. Nice ball from Taskin to draw him into it, though. Right area.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Typical Williamson these days.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

nice ball from Taskin. Going to be interesting to see how his fitness holds up.

 

[cnerd123]

TASSKKIINN!!!!

Big wicket out of nowhere too. Well deserved for Taskin, he's bowled well all day.

Now either we enforce the lollapse or Ross smacks us about for a 200.

 

[NZTailender]

Bringing on the SLA as soon as Taylor is out there, that's a paddlin'.
