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

[Darwin Award]

A shame about Williamson.. looked to be easily easing to a century in his first dig back... Can't do any better than that.

Hopeful it's just a bruise or swelling that'll subside with a couple or days or so.

 

[King Kane]

Phillips doing his best to give Bangladesh some outfield catching practice.

 

[King Kane]

All over, a good knock from Mitchell to finish the job that Williamson was unable to do.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

He was just a run-of-the-mill provincial player. Bowled a bit, batted a bit. Never saw this player coming.

He's an incredible player , World Class performances consistently. I had similar findings with Conway when he was in the South African system.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

NZ to win by 100+ runs or with more than 10 overs to spare.

Well, off by 2-3 overs, but they did thrash Bangladesh.

 

[loterry1994]

I don’t know what some the kiwi blokes in here were worried about I knew it would be easy as.

Didn't know it was going to be a new pitch. That made it much more suited to us

 

[Burgey]

My man Daryl Mitchell gets it done again. What a human being

 

[Athlai]

Comfortable win that. Hope Kanes thumb is all good

Anyone got concerns about Bangladesh cricket after this loss

 

[Athlai]

Not really

Yes. Stop choosing your batting line-up by lottery. Mahmudullah probably could've got 3 figures batting at 6 or higher.

So could everyone else in the top 8 tbf. When you pick eight batsmen one of them has to bat 8.

Tanzid is crap though so they could start by not letting him open. I enjoy the faith in Miraz as a top order bat but they'd be better off letting him open himself.

Litton
Miraz
Shanto
Shakib
Rahim
Hridoy
Mahmudullah
Mehedi
Bowlers

I’ll keep saying that biggest mistake was to make Shakib captain. We have seen time and time again that he does not let a batting order to remain settle and he prefers to change it. I am sure theres been never a fixed line up from 1 to 7 in consecutive two matches under him if we pull out the stats. Its clear from the presser that Shanto is unhappy that hes being moved to 4 in one match and to 3 in another. Towhid Hridoy’s position was fixed at no5 but hes being moved to no7 all of a sudden. The moment he came out to bat it was evident that hes the best batsman to play short pitched deliveries the way he played pulls along the ground. But for some magical reason he was forced to move to no7. We can blame the batting positions but we also lack in mental aspect and technical side of things which will require generations to overcome.

Do you feel Bangladesh should have had the same faith in Tamim Iqbal that New Zealand had in Kane Williamson?

Their youth teams are performing well recently and they finished 3rd in WC qualifying so no , I don't think they are in serious decline, but if they want to seriously challenge the Big 3 for tournament honours they have to do better in selection and less drama off the pitch

Maybe they like drama

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Maybe they like drama

They miss a leader like Mortaza

For sure. Australia retaining travis head as well. I think it was more of previous clash issue than a faith issue. We will get to know more once this WC ends or from a tamim iqbal biography in future for sure.

 

[Daemon]

Banana peel game imo

I hope you guys aren't reading too much into the England game. NZ have dominant performances against the best in them for sure, but it isn't a consistent event. Bangladesh are very capable of winning this game.

No more gambhiring complaints from the pair of you
