c Waitling b Wagner is now the 3rd most frequent dismissal combination in NZ Test history.

A true underdog story

Check drive straight back over the sight screen. Helluva shot. Victor Richardson did that once.

So, I guess the tactic is to try to bowl them out today, bat all day tomorrow and session 1 on Tuesday and then try to bowl them out in 3 sessions?

I can see why this lad only averages 30. That is an absolutely atrocious cricket stroke. He’s a cow corner slogger, nothing more.

How good is Tamim Iqbal? Without him, these blokes would be in serious trouble

What specifically is this in reference to?

2 terrible on field calls that were nowhere near the bat and were given. They didn’t even sound right. Sure DRS fixed them but the point is the umpires should be getting these right.

Hmmm pretty tough IMO. Would have been exceptional calls to confidently distinguish those noises and they probably played it right given that they can be fixed up by the DRS.

To be honest, I thought the second one was out. Isn’t up to the elbow of the arm considered bat when it’s holding the bat?

Beautiful bouncer but it’s always scary now when a batsman is struck like that

Glove is out, sweatband if it’s attached to the glove is. Elbow isn’t. It just was an absolute bad decision but the first one was a howler. Umpires should be getting that right. Sounds aren’t everything but jeez they are a good guide.

If umpires are giving those it’s giving thought for teams to have unlimited reviews.

Boult should be breathalysed. Bowled appallingly and has let one to go through him for four with barely not touching it.

Wagner picks up another. Mahmudullah with an grotesque dismissal. We should get a bat tonight

Hard to believe Bangas have been a test playing nation for around 20 years now. At the rate they are going they'll be competitive by 2076.

To be fair, they are playing the bloody second best Test team in the world :p
