***Official*** New Zealand in Bangladesh

That 2nd lbw shout could reasonably have been given out tbh, just about hit in line

 

[Prince EWS]

Top order actually getting the job done. Reckon this one's in the bag unless the pitch does something funny TBH.

 

[_Ed_]

Still too soon to say that given our ability to collapse spectacularly IMO, but I'm really happy with our progress.

 

[_Ed_]

50 for Redmond! Good man.

 

[andyc]

Gah Bangladesh, so disappointing. Figured they'd mess it up at the end.

 

[_Ed_]

Oh no, Yardley's back. Time for my good friend the mute button.

 

[Craig]

This word is so overused here.

Nice to see Redmond get his maiden half century and the top order starting to get some runs. Hope this bodes well for Redmond's confidence.

 

[Briony]

Even had Bangladesh set NZ 500 to win you would still back the kiwis. This minnow is a blight on the game and has no idea how to win. How poor is How not to get a half ton against this rabble!

 

[Uppercut]

All Australia would have to do to guarantee that doesn't happen is pick Shaun Tait, and it would probably be a better selection than P Siddy.

That nickname has made my day.

Redmond plumb lbw and given not out again

Yeah pretty average umpiring in this match, but both sides have suffered from it and I think it's been pretty even.

Following this game on Cricinfo, taking forever between overs. Is that how it's playing out on TV or is it just Cricinfo being the suck?

Cricinfo is slack with the updates, so I use the desktop scorecard on blackcaps.co.nz then use the Cricinfo coverage to get the ball by ball deliveries about 3-5minutes later when they update.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

Things are starting to look a little brighter. I really hope theat Redmond can keep going and get a ton. The Aussies are getting humiliated, what we always like!

 

[TT Boy]

Bangladesh!

 

[99*]

Why run for two there?

EDIT: Dan in as nightwatchman.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha, just before stumps. Leaves the door open just a tad I guess; still can't see NZ losing this though.

 

[NZTailender]

FFS Ryder, doing a Clarke there.

 

[Natman20]

Vettori's chance for 100?
