*Official* Bangladesh Tour of New Zealand 2019

[straw man]

These 2 have good bowling actions. Like this from NZ. Kane digging in and Ross going after the half volleys.

Yeah both Ebadot and Abu Jayed are fairly easy on the eye and imo have some potential. Incredibly raw though and gotta be difficult to learn your craft as a Bangladeshi fast bowler when you barely get a game at home.

 

[NZTailender]

This is his first century against Bangladesh, which is a bit surprising.

Sadly I don't think we'll play SA anytime soon enough for him to get the full set

 

[straw man]

Nicholls on fire.

Reckon we'll bowl Bangladesh out cheaply a second time and win this.

We basically have to pile it on, Nicholls to get 100 amnd Taylor 200, and then try and get 30 minutes at them tonight.

[We're hearing that Kane Williamson has left the ground to have precautionary scans on his shoulder injury.

Hopefully he's all good. Will Young might finally get his debut if not.

Yeah. His record against SA is poor, but he's played against them so little it's hard to read much into it. 2 matches that were rained out (Dunedin in 2012 and during the 2016 tour of SA), 2 games where he was injured early in his first innings, leaving only 3 uninterrupted matches (2 of which were in his debut series against a rampant 24 year old Steyn). Still, Crowe never scored a hundred against SA, so in a way it's appropriate.

Anyway, bat normal for 25 overs, have a flail for 10 and then have 10 overs at them before stumps. If the weather holds an NZ win should be the favourite from here.

 

[Bahnz]

We have a pop gun bowling attack when there's no swing or seam movement.

Wagner usually saves us when that happens, but against teams who can play the short ball we're going to be looking at scores of 500+

Combination of all 3.

Yeah, it's not like we bowled anybody out for 56 last season. And when have we ever won a test series in Asia?

 

[Binkley]

How is the wicket playing now? Is there any movement or is it turning into a road?

Nude spin on a green top at both ends at the moment. hard to tell.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

The weather has really added some excitement to this game. They should have made all three of the tests 3 dayers.

I kind of want to see international two-day limited overs games, where you've got 100 overs to bat. But only in my head; in reality it'd just mean less real cricket which would suck.

 

[straw man]

Congrats Nicholls - five hundreds already, wonder if he can get as many as the guy at the other end.

 

[TheBrand]

Not to jinx the man but Ross Taylor has always said he wanted to go past Crowe's century tally and also get a 300. This could be his best chance to do both.

 

[Binkley]

Nice work Henry! He now has the same number test centuries as Bert Sutcliffe, and more than Mark Richardson, Jesse Ryder, Bruce Edgar and Jeremy Coney (amongst others).

 

[straw man]

Good work Taylor. Surprisingly decent level of applause from a small crowd.

[Prince EWS]

Kinda happy about that wicket, Jayed didn't deserve to average 46+ for the innings.

 

[Athlai]

25th NZ double.

You should know better than to take him seriously, bahnz.

Hopefully Bangladesh can get a draw.
