***Official*** New Zealand in Bangladesh

[Prince EWS]

Dan in as nightwatchman.

Actually wouldn't surprise me if he had just promoted himself TBH.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Bugger. I didnt want to post in here and jinx anything. Darn it.
Why would they even think of running a second with less than 3 overs left.

Please please please go into tomorrow with only 2 down. Please, pretty please.

 

[sportychic33]

Mills would have been a better nightwatchman option.
Vettori seems to be hogging the limelight a bit, possibly overbowled himself this morning.

Wait, no, that's not a good thing.

 

[NZTailender]

Oh Dan why did you promote yourself? We'll have no one to save us after we collapse

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

How can you call our best batsman a night-watchman?
He just promoted himself above the incompetant middle order, thats all.

Trying to avoid the colapse altogether I guess.

I really don't think Vettori batting up the order is the worst idea in the world, especially against attacks that don't posess someone of genuine pace. He's averaging about 40 over the last three years and he often finds himself stranded. His numbers back it up. Number four might be a stretch though..

 

[NZTailender]

Anyway, 172 runs left to get tomorrow. Barring sudden pitch deterioration we shoud be able to get the remaining runs.

 

[Bahnz]

You know, I've normally tried to give Bracewell the benefit of the doubt over the years, but with all the dropped catches, silly shots, and now this run out, this team really does look like its been terribly coached.

 

[NUFAN]

I like Vettori at 4, he'll score at a good rate to help out Redmond.

Exciting day tomorrow, Bangladesh surely missing Syed Rasel though.

He's somewhere between a night-watchman and specialist batsman. Ballsy call from the NZ captain/best bowler/best batsman/entire team.

 

[Indipper]

I pity the fool who gave up on NZ yesterday.

 

[cricman]

Rain might ruin a great a posssible Great Finsh but lets say if a Session and a Half is lost than how would NZ tackle the spinners than? Would they be content with the Draw or start trying to up the tempo and Risk Possible Defeat?

Sakib was on Pain Killers when he was batting and now he just put on another 20 overs, I hope his arm stays intact

 

[Bahnz]

Blast, we needed Redmond to bat through today. Now the result really is up in the air.

 

[NZTailender]

Damn, Redmond gone. Great knock from him, still confident we can get this as well, but I hope Flynn comes in next as I'd rather have Oram and McCullum in the bank than Flynn and Oram.

 

[NZTailender]

James: "VETTORI ROCKS! C'mon son, lead the boys home!"

Think you should be concentrating on keeping CW up and running, itbt.

 

[Zinzan]

Wouldn't've taken the new ball

 

[NZTailender]

Yeah, the Deshi seamers haven't taken a wicket in the whole test yet.

 

[_Ed_]

Daft shot that by Taylor.

Bangladesh right back in this now.

 

[Bahnz]

Oh dear. I am starting to get a very bad feeling about this.
