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

[RossTaylorsBox]

Latham is good against bad teams, I'd keep him in there.

 

[Zinzan]

I would have been against the inclusion of Latham if the WC was in South Africa for example, citing he's a yesterday's man, but I'm fine with his selection in Indian conditions.

 

[Moss]

Oh yeah I forgot that Philips is a keeper too. They should absolutely bite the bullet and have him keep instead of Latham then. Gives a lot more fire-power at the end with both Philips and Chapman playing and Kane for Latham will be a like for like with both doing a similar role of stabilizing the line-up.

Nope, I think Latham’s particular skillset (ability against spin including a hitting game on slow/low surfaces, plus the fact that he *regularly* keeps) makes him a lock-in.
With all due respect don’t think Phillips or Conway keeping in 50 over cricket will work.

 

[SteveNZ]

Laptop safe, as well as my reputation as a wise judge of selection process.

Hard to see anything other than NZ win but the pitch should suit Bangladesh so you never know.

The tournament could do with a belter of a game with the underdogs at least making a good game of it.

 

[Howsie]

Good, that’s the XI I would’ve picked too

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I dont mind batting first but we are gonna probably score 150

 

[Moss]

Hope Kane’s pitch reading qualities are on point today. Was fully expecting Sodhi to come in for Lockie.

judging by the teams and cricinfo pitch reporting, its nothing like aus vs india game

 

[NZTailender]

Gutted for Young but it's the sensible choice

 

[NZTailender]

Trying to figure out what Boult will do in his post cricketing life. Don't see him full time in the comms box (maybe as a guest now and again) and he could get into coaching but for some reason I see him doing some kind of fishing show or something

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Young maybe, and Ravindra to open?

I had to call in some favours with NZC but I made this happen. You're welcome, Black Cap fans.

 

[King Kane]

Hopefully we go better bowling first than Australia did last night.

No surprise to see that Young is the one dropped for Williamson, looking forward to seeing how the Conway/Ravindra opening combo goes tonight.

Williamson could be a pretty handy inclusion for us too, he looked in good touch in the warm up games and is one of our better players of spin.

I wouldn’t worry about the result here

[King Kane]

I think we can safely say we won the battle of the anthems.

We should win but I have been supporting NZ for too long to take any win for granted.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Tanzid’s weakness is at good length deliveries on 5th stump line. Hes gonna nick those

[Molehill]

That's ****ing ridiculous for the first ball. I mean just what on earth was that???

 

[SteveNZ]

Hahahahhahahahah wow
