*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

[The Hutt Rec]

Not quite sure why Phillips is bowling with the new ball here …

 

[thierry henry]

So apparently Phillips is very hittable with the new ball. Probably something we could’ve gone a lifetime without finding out.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

So many starts, Bangers should be kicking themselves.

 

[King Kane]

Bangladesh bring up the 300 with a lucky french cut for four off Jamieson.

So close to bowling them out for under 300.

Galaxy brain Southee taking the new ball to bowl spin

Nothing wrong with it, it's been the thing in the subcontinent the past decade or so that the spinners are often as or more dangerous with the new ball, as it bounces more and can skid on quicker. A far cry from the times when India would use joke bowlers like Gavaskar to take the shine off the ball.

Whether you'd bowl Phillips with it is a different question. It is definitely easier to for the batsmen to time.

Gotta love the first line in Sodhi’s cricinfo profile

Yes but it’s against 9 and 10 and now 10 and 11. Just bowl them out normally.

This isn’t great

Ross Taylor might be just what NZ are looking for.

 

[thierry henry]

Should’ve gone spin at both ends I guess

It is normal, Bangladesh went into at least one test recently with no specialist pace bowlers.

 

[Zinzan]

Southee the only wicketless bowler to date... but of course he's required for his masterful captaincy.

“Never learn” is the slogan from our camp

 

[thierry henry]

2 runs away from all 11 batsmen reaching double figures, despite a fairly modest score. Weirdly we were also recently the first team to ever concede this in an ODI, despite thrashing England in that game.

Hold the **** up - there’s no room in the lineup for Ravindra?? :o

It's because we're too nice to get batters out if they haven't faced 10–20 balls (otherwise they might be a bit disappointed)

Ross Taylor might be just what NZ are looking for.

I was about to link Daniel Vettori's that said "Daniel Vettori has been around so long it's hard to believe has just crossed in to his thirties". But apparantly they changed it in the last few months.

 

[ataraxia]

Great white shark luring the tigers into a false sense of security today, I see

 

[Molehill]

Over 50 overs of spin and behind the rate - should be a massive WTC penalty on the back of this.

 

[King Kane]

Disappointing that we couldn't bowl Bangladesh out before stumps but a pretty good fightback from our bowlers after they were 180/2 just before tea.

We need to wrap their innings up quickly tomorrow and get a decent first innings lead, the pitch is turning already so we won't want to be chasing much in the second innings.
