Official NZ in Bangladesh (5 T20s)

[The Hutt Rec]

CDG isn't contributing a lot these days ... in any arena

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

need a slip there I reckon

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

the drop proving costly

 

[nzfan]

All right seen the two overs, I'm calling it a night. It'll just be spinners bowling mostly I guess. Sears will come in at 16th over. Will watch the ball by ball replay tomorrow

That ball from Bennett the ball came on at 115k good to see

 

[Aritro]

The Rabbithole graphics for this series are excellent. Very slick.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Bennett 5/5 slower balls, going for the full house!!!

 

[Aritro]

That ball from Bennett the ball came on at 115k good to see

These are surely slower balls?

 

[Aritro]

Looks like 115 is his normal pace actually, lel.

Wahaaayyyyy!!!

 

[Aritro]

Bennett 5/5 slower balls, going for the full house!!!

Er, yeah. This makes more sense.

Who's this Atul guy? Is he stupid or what? He's saying the pitch was good but application was bad. Is he being really serious? Shakib said it wasn't a good pitch to bat on. I've got no problem with whatever pitch is given to us but don't say it was a good pitch.

Seriously...

Atul Wassan - Indian pace bowling hope of the early 90s. Kiwi fans from that era might remember him playing in the 1990 test series in NZ and the tri-series with Aus.

 

[Aritro]

I think one way the Deshi commentators could improve general fielding standards in Bangladesh is by not breaking into paroxysms of praise whenever someone does something that any international fielder should be able to do. That would help normalise those things. ?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I think Bangladesh are doing pretty well here, they certainly know how to bat in these conditions.

Does remind me of mid-90s conditions in NZ where 120 could be a winning score in an ODI

 

[nzfan]

All our bowlers are bowling 115k. Hope Sears doesn't do that

 

[nzfan]

Would have loved to see Sears bowl the 6th over. That's usually the big runs over and would have been nice for him to bowl under pressure

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Geez they're off to an absolute flyer in the power play, 36/0 after 6!!!

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Looks like we need around 130 tonight

 

[Moss]

Just saw CdG's drop, seemed straightforward. Hopefully he makes up at the bowling crease.

Love to see the keeper's legs on stumpcam
