***Official*** Bangladesh in NZ 2021-22

Fantastic that all the ATG line ups posted in the last few pages (that I skimmed through) had dudes with longevity.
For years our ATG line up on cricinfo lacked credibility with Donnelly et al who had played like 5 test innings each (but wait they looked amazing during those 5 innings).
Just my view no flames please.

 

[vandem]

having said that Andrew Jones was a fantastic player for NZ, true grit and determination.

If "true grit and determination" means making test centuries in high scoring draws, you are correct.

Don't worry Bangers will get bowled out for less than 230. A collapse is always around the corner with them

 

[James]

Fair dues. Sutcliffe, as you aware, played some domestic iconic innings and of course the most famous New Zealand inning of all time with his 80 NO in the Tangiwai match. The descriptions of his prolific sixes in the match are told by Fathers to sons and Grandfathers to Grandchildren across Aotearoa and always will be.

100% agree - if I wasn't overly biased towards Andrew Jones, Sutcliffe would take his place.

Are NZ making them work for it or is it mainly the conditions deciding the contest?

sure they're making them work, but they have been very clear in their stroke play, very disciplined, well played them to date.

New Zealand Ranking in Tests Number 2 - 108 points
Bangers - Number 9 - 47 points
I mean even if Bangers draw this match away from home against the number 2 ranked team this a great accomplishment for Bangers cricket. Right now they will be eyeing a win. They are into this match up to their eyeballs.
Every TV in Dhaka must be glued to this match.
Could be historic.

I couldn't resist selecting Jones, favourite cricketer to watch as a youngster at the Basin. And his record isn't bad at all considering our team at the time.

who can remember that great catch Greg Dyer took of Craig Mcdermott to remove Andrew Jones?

Do you remember which batsman was called back by Tim Zoehrer who admitted he had grassed it?
Tim proceeded to show up to the press conference with black eye apparently courtesy of a certain chap whose initials are AB. AB less than happy with the unecessary sportsmanship shown to the kiwis by Tim Z.

Wagner should’ve had Joy about 3 times. Looking our best pitch it up bowler at the moment.

 

[James]

Apart from Wagner, the other bowlers aren't looking match fit I don't believe, and perhaps NZ has underestimated what Bangladesh is capable of here from both a batting and bowling perspective. Needed a couple of rounds of Plunket Shield for them to play before this Test series. Taking nothing away from Bangladesh though, they've been superb to date.

@OverratedSanity has just reminded me that Bangladesh once made 600 in the first innings in NZ and still found a way to lose
