So good news to NZ and NZ fans - NO TAMIM IQBAL FOR THIS ODI SERIES!

I actually tend to think thats bad news. Obviously from a viewer's point of view I'd have liked to have watched Tamim, but more importantly I'd prefer New Zealand to face the strongest possible Bangladeshi side in conditions that in theory would suit them, and give New Zealand a reasonably strong fight.

 

[Athlai]

Tamim had fans on his first tour of NZ. Won the crowd's heart pretty early on IIRC

 

[_Ed_]

True, although he got offside with the crowd in the last tour when he was pissing Vettori and McCullum off with something he was doing at the non-striker's end. But then he started mouthing off at them, and they pissed themselves laughing when he promptly got out.

 

[Athlai]

Must have missed that actually.

 

[_Ed_]

It was pretty funny tbf and I'm sure the crowd won't hold a lasting grudge, unlike players who have entrenched themselves as ****s to NZ crowds, such as Mitchell Johnson and Brett Lee.

That's horrible news. Considering how badly smashed they get WITH him hate to think what's going to happen without. He's easily Bangladesh's best batsman.

oh no..why??

LOL! That IS the point I was making. Without him, there may be no semblance of a fight at all from the Bangers.

He's enjoying his time with his childhood friends settled there though...will be back in a week or so.

Shahriar Nafees replaced him in the ODIs for now.

True, but I don't think anyone really sees that as good news.

Ian Pont is the new fast bowling coach for Bangladesh!

Well, now we have Ian Pont as our (fast) bowling coach. Won't make difference in this NZ tour though I reckon. At least, after the Klusener debacle we have FINALLY found a bowling coach to help prepare the Bangladesh team for the World Cup!

Atul Sharma to debut imo

ROFLMAO! That chucking no-gooder! Hey, this guy helped out Shoaib Akhtar who has a similar but slightly better action, and the ever-so-deadly Daly Steyn!

Guptill is in the NZ A team to tour Zimbabwe.

That squad:
James Franklin (Captain)
Graeme Aldridge
Brent Arnel
Nick Beard
Dean Brownlie
Daniel Flynn
Martin Guptill
Gareth Hopkins
Jamie How
Peter Ingram
Tim McIntosh
Chris Martin
Jeetan Patel
Bhupinder Singh
Reece Young

Brownlie's put himself in the picture pretty quickly. Good to see Beard in there.

Could have sworn that we banned him.

For chucking?

Lollers.

Pissed off about Tamim being out of the series.
