1st Test: New Zealand v Bangladesh @ Mount Maunganui Jan 1-5, 2022

Lol what an embarrassment we're heading towards. I think the Cantab mafia angle that we're a better team with Latham in charge has been well and truly mythbusted.

 

[JJ]

The plucky Kiwis with a lead of 6 with 7 wickets in hand, can they stave off the night of the Banga’s???

Not hopeful here

 

[edabomb]

Blundell just doesn't have it - he has got himself in to a rut recently. Don't really know who is next in line though.

 

[JJ]

Blundell is just a bit shit tbh, but Larsen love him long time

 

[TheParraboy]

Kiwis essentially 5/17 going into day 5

Taylor needs to bat through obviously, get some decent partnerships going

 

[JJ]

we’re pretty f**ked, terrible arrogant performance, the whole world champions thing has gone to their heads, and no Williamson there to slap them

head of selectors is a genius, Blundell is a myth and love child of the aforementioned genius, Taylor has phoned it in but has a chance at redemption, most of the dismissals have been soft, and the bowlers seemed to be expecting Bangladesh to roll over, well done to them on showing the fight and intensity that we’re usually known for

I hope we can hold on, but an embarrassing defeat might lead to some serious thinking

Stage is set for Ross to go out a hero at least one more time.

Man for man they’ve just thoroughly outplayed us tbh…. It’s a bit like watching the Tigpies vs the Warriors though…

Well I guess that makes Tigers world champions then.

Like Wadey at the world cup..

Campbelltown logic?

The Bangers without Shakib or Tamin as well………..

but... but... World Champions..

Aside from being our best bat, I think Williamson is a huge influence...

disgraceful phone it it performance tbh

All this Kiwi self flagellation is prime entertainment. Like Australia in Fatullah in 06 they might yet get out of it.

 

[JJ]

Taylor two more joke innings sadly

Yeah nah

 

[TheParraboy]

It’s one thing to be beaten by sides like this on their own turf.

But being bent over on your own paddock by them is beyond embarrassing

Ebadot obviously bowling a "heavy ball" Scott Boland style.

The lack of respect has been appalling, when Conway was batting the two commentators (Martin and McKay) were predicting 300 for him and over 600 for us, last night when 12 down Baz was talking about pushing for a win ….
The batting has been careless and the bowlers looked like they were just tolling their arms over expecting things to happen, lot of entitlement and little planning

Kane at home after prioritising IPL over tests.
