2nd Test: New Zealand v Bangladesh at Wellington March 8-12 2019

[Meth]

Bangladesh are now playing for a draw

 

[Meth]

Disgraceful fielding unit, Bangladesh

 

[Meth]

The lead is now 120

 

[Meth]

Taylor's going for it now.

 

[TheParraboy]

lead 148

still 39 overs left in the day, they are scoring at over 5 an over

bat another 20 overs id say add another 100+, send them in tonight

 

[Meth]

Taylor creeping up on his third double century. Nicholls on his 5th century. The lead is 153. Surely, we will have a bowl today.

 

[Meth]

Lead of 161 at Tea.

Come back for 5-10 overs of aggressive batting ad then put them in, I reckon

 

[Meth]

Century for Nicholls. Well done.

5 overs and then declare, I reckon

 

[Meth]

Nicholls goes.

I better see CDG wandering out

 

[Meth]

Taylor gets a double.

200 lead.

Declare. Declare. Declare.

 

[Meth]

Taylor gone for 200

No declaration. Lead is 210

Waitling to the crease. Clearly told to have a go, as he's hit a boundary first ball.

 

[Meth]

NZ have 23 overs to bowl today. Lead is 221

2-3 wickets would be great.

 

[Meth]

Massive wicket. Boult cleans up Tamim

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

4 first ball, bowled second ball.

Swung out to draw the batsmen and then cut back in off the pitch just enough to beat the inside edge and take the gap.

Ugly shot, but good balls often make the shot look worse than it was.

 

[Iafeta]

I think though KTF shows the T20 mentality. I can’t imagine Dessy Haynes or Sunny Gavaskar being loose in the first over like that. The Bangladeshi batsmen are million dollar men - some of the most fantastic strokes you’ll ever see but completely lacking in the fundamental batting mentality required

 

[TheParraboy]

NZ have 23 overs to bowl today. Lead is 221

2-3 wickets would be great.

called it

Good declaration, could have come a few overs earlier but wont matter, should win well before tea today, if not before lunch

 

[TheParraboy]

Almost over
Bangers 6/158, still 63 behind

Wagner starting to clean up

Mahmudullah the only resistance 32no

 

[Iafeta]

Good win. 5 series in a row.
