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

Its the hope that gets you. Its now time for them to collapse.

 

[SteveNZ]

Wagner mad.

 

[NZTailender]

If Wagner is playing, you don't really need to go to the short ball yourself. You just let him grind himself into the dust while you search for the edge from a good length

 

[SteveNZ]

Exactly, despite batting for an eternity I’ve never seen Bangladesh really look comfortable and certainly not score runs off good, orthodox bowling. It’s like we’re playing the situation and not the batting.

Yep. It's such a modern approach - when in doubt, go short. This deck is so slow, it's just not threatening.

 

[ataraxia]

Feel for Bangladesh now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's just about the worst shot I've seen in test cricket for a good 5 years or so

 

[Aritro]

That's a dreadful shot to go out to by Liton. Can't let a bowler get you out with such an obvious tempter.

Oh well, he's got some runs and we're not embarrassing ourselves.

 

[Athlai]

Give me a break. You’re the inaugural test champions playing at home and they’re minnows

It's pretty good batting conditions. We threw away a ridiculous amount of wickets. Bangers batting is pretty rubbish but blokes like Mominul can genuinely bat.

I reckon we still win here

Wasn't Buttler's thing like last week

 

[thierry henry]

Jeez that was an agricultural swat after by far the most controlled and skilled innings of the…innings

 

[Burgey]

It's pretty good batting conditions. We threw away a ridiculous amount of wickets. Bangers batting is pretty rubbish but blokes like Mominul can genuinely bat.

You’d hope so. Jesus.

 

[straw man]

Bangladesh should be filthy with themselves if they only get a 100 run lead here.

 

[Athlai]

Big ol soft under belly here.

 

[Aritro]

Bangladesh should be filthy with themselves if they only get a 100 run lead here.

Lol, I'd snatch your hand off for a 100 run lead and I probably would have even when we were cruising. They never get as many runs as you'd hope.

 

[Athlai]

You’d hope so. Jesus.

After getting our ass kicked by Bangers in Bangers them winning a few sessions of a Test isn't that alarming imo.

 

[SteveNZ]

That's just about the worst shot I've seen in test cricket for a good 5 years or so

Just a reminder that Shannon Gabriel's swipe trying to hold out Pakistan was four years ago.

 

[Aritro]

Big ol soft under belly here.

Harsh, Yasir might have a thyroid issue

 

[Frost]

This pitch is flat, big second innings 100 for a nz batsmen is waiting.

 

[Burgey]

After getting our ass kicked by Bangers in Bangers them winning a few sessions of a Test isn't that alarming imo.

Yes but the point is it should be.

 

[Aritro]

I have no faith in Yasir being good enough for this level against high quality seam but you never know for sure until they're averaging 21 after ten tests.
