***Official*** New Zealand in Bangladesh

Bangladesh are just so dissapointing. A whole bunch of FC sides, and a couple of good club sides would have a better record than that in Test cricket.

What do you mean? I'm just arguing my point. I'm neither passive nor aggressive. If you have a problem with the way I post, talk to me about it.
Haha it's cool bro, didn't mean to offend. Your posts just seem to come off a little on the aggressive style, but thats probably due to the internet and tone gets lost easily, etc. :)

To be fair, some FC sides in the world would probably do better than a few of the current Test teams knocking about, NZ included.

Bangladesh were beaten by every FC team they played in their recent tour of NZ weren't they? Mark O'neil also told me that more often than not Aussie FC teams smash touring test teams, of any caliber.

Think they were. Sometimes it's hard to judge warm up matches, because sometimes they're a genuine contest, other times it's the touring side dicking around and trying different things.

Surprised Elliott hasn't been given at least 1 over. I know Bangladesh is a country generally for spinners to operate I would've given him at least a couple by now, not like he's going to get another chance at batting in the test.

I'm getting pretty sick of the biased umpiring (not intentional most likely...but Bangladesh have easily had multiple calls go in their favour throughout the series). That catch from Ryder looked through my (biased) eyes like it was taken...there was no bounce evident, and it looked as though he got his hands under it. And that LBW to Razzaq off O'Brien was absolutely PLUMB. How an umpire can give an LBW not out when it hits the guy flush on the front toe in front of middle stump is beyond me.

Looks as though these decisions have cost us any remaining chance of winning the game. A shame, because it's ruined the chance of any interesting cricket in the last 2 sessions.

Bangladesh have avoided the follow-on, think that's put paid to any chance of a result.

So what do we do now - try to attack and score a quick 30-odd and set an attractive target? Or just safely bat out a draw?

Edit - Ashraful hopes we do the former, he's declared.

We should just block out everything, really piss the Bangladeshi's off :laugh:
