*Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand

[Polo23]

I thought Southee's speeds were generally the same as when he burst onto the scene a year or two ago. Consistently around 140km/h, nothing new there.

yup

Soon as I saw Tuffey hitting 135kph in his first over I knew Southee would be low 140s.

It's honestly meaningless, it's not quick.

Good to see Chris Gaffaney have his first umpiring gig at international level.

Was my favourite player back in the Cricket Max days.

You lot better hope he fails at this level

 

[thierry henry]

Pitch is slow as hell. McCullum waaaay early on those shots.

 

[thierry henry]

If Shafiul wasn't 4-foot tall and 12kg he'd be quick. Nice action. Is Shahadat the tallest man in Bangladesh?

 

[_Ed_]

Awful. So, so awful.

 

[Howsie]

What an enjoying game

 

[slugger]

Netherlands wouldve done better...

If you were taking someone that had no idea about cricket along to the match this evening, good luck convincing them that Bangladesh are a test playing nation...they've been on the end of some bad defeats before but that surely would have to rate highly in terms of embarrassment for the Bangladeshi side.

Gonna be a bumper cricket season for New Zealand.

No international cricket in January, and a feast of Bangladesh in February.

**** off, seriously. Surely the worst home season for NZ in some time.

 

[African Monkey]

Bangladesh will get better. T20 isn't their game but they have been posting good scores of late in their latest ODI fixtures.

They're terrible

thse matches you referring to are against Zimbabwe

and India right?

Worst thing tonight is the pitch was slow and offered turn...how bad will they go on a seamer

 

[NZTailender]

**** off, seriously. Surely the worst home season for NZ in some time.

You're forgetting the cracker of a series vs Pakistan, and that we'll be playing Australia later on. Hardly the worst.

I was talking about their latest tri-series against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

 

[bryce]

T20 isn't their game

Definitely on the money here. Bangladesh have never, ever had a half decent T20 team

 

[Days of Grace]

Which is strange for a batting team with so little restraint and temprament.

As a sidenote, Daniel Vettori must surely rate as the best T20I bowler ever, not that it counts for much.

I'd rather watch a Wellington/Canterbury Twenty20 match than see Aftab Ahmed try 6 wild slogs and not get close to getting bat on ball.
