*Official* Match #11 (D/N) - New Zealand vs Bangladesh - October 13th, Chennai

[HouHsiaoHsien]

NZ will knock whatever 230-240 odd in 40 or less overs, as I predicted

 

[King Kane]

Smithy right there about Mahmudullah, he should be batting higher in the order rather than down the order as a finisher.

 

[mackembhoy]

240 will challenge New Zealand

In 2008 perhaps

 

[Athlai]

The bangers top 8 are randomised every game

 

[trundler]

In 2008 perhaps

1988*

Smithy right there about Mahmudullah, he should be batting higher in the order rather than down the order as a finisher.

Judging by his stats he a all time 100 top batsman in one day cricket and he can be proud of that

 

[Aritro]

Getting 4 out of the Fizz in a partnership of double figures is not a bad result for us.

 

[slippy888]

I don't think this is a easy pitch to bat on guys, the Bangladesh spinners will have a massive say today

 

[Athlai]

I don't think this is a easy pitch to bat on guys, the Bangladesh spinners will have a massive say today

And that massive say will be "Good innings Devon, you were too good today"

 

[trundler]

Shakib may not even bowl

 

[BazBall21]

Shakib may not even bowl

There's just no good news.

 

[King Kane]

Bowling Mitchell in the last over isn't ideal, I guess they were hoping they wouldn't need to bowl a 50th over.

 

[Neil Young]

Nice innings from Mahmadullah.

Silly to leave Mitchell to bowl one over. The last one.

 

[thierry henry]

tbh pretty ordinary from us once we got them 7 down and were into bunnies

 

[thierry henry]

I really don’t understand how Ian Smith isn’t more widely loathed

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This pitch is way better than aus vs ind game. We are 75 short

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

NZ will chase this down in 35 to 40 overs

 

[King Kane]

You would take that total bowling first even if we did let Bangladesh get a few more runs than they should have at the end.

I really don’t understand how Ian Smith isn’t more widely loathed

Well he's wide at least.

 

[Tec15]

Typical lame Bangladesh batting. Play dot after dot after dot with no inclination to rotate the strike regularly. Regularly keep hitting the ball straight to the fielder and fail to punish free hits. Soft dismissals galore too. Hridoy sucks , useless plodder who embodies the worst traits of the batting. This is a 300 pitch and this is their pitiful effort.

 

[chris.hinton]

New Zealand will knock this off in 40 overs
