Bangladesh in NZ

[KeepingTheFaith]

This test match will be a draw

Weird NZ are batting on. Wagner keeps getting hit by short balls. Batting here is confirming a draw but Bangers don't have enough time to win anyway. Kane's captaincy is just a bit laid back for my liking.

Is there a better batsman to watch in world cricket than Boult? He's brilliant!!

 

[Iafeta]

Strike a pose!

 

[Iafeta]

Southee you are a tosser. Stop throwing the ball at batsmen. Twice you've hit batsmen in this test.

 

[hineyrulz]

Boult really is a plodder these days.

 

[hineyrulz]

Terrible field, the Pakis are more attacking in the One day game.

Kane Bradmanson makes Cook look like a an attacking genius.

 

[Iafeta]

This pitch rivals the WACA test of a couple of years ago as the worst test pitch of all time. It's a road.

 

[Twizzle]

I have a suspicion that this could be a draw

 

[Iafeta]

How astute! Tickets are free tomorrow, it's going to be boring as all hell.

 

[Front-Rower]

Interestingly positioned test match here. With the Bangas 3/66 at stumps and only leading by 120, NZ can really come home strong here by rolling the final 6 (7 if Kayes bats) quickly tomorrow and a sub 200 total lead.

With Bangladesh's record of second inning failures there is a real possibllity of NZ getting the win.

 

[Iafeta]

That run out was a massive lol. Mehedi has been very ordinary. Don't see what the fuss is about unless he's on a Bunsen burner.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Tigers with the wobbly boot on. 5/100 a lead of 156.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Essentially 6 down if Kayes won't bad. Very wobbly indeed.

 

[Tommy Smith]

595 in the first dig and they might lose.

Surely that'd be a record.

595 in the first dig and they might lose.

Surely that'd be a record.

It would be a record. Australia made 586 against England in 1984 and ended up losing by 10 runs.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

NZ's fielding standards have dropped considerably in the last 12 months.

 

[JJ]

Yep, appalling

Seems Mushfiqur is ok, but seriously modern players are generally poor at playing the bouncer - Wagner is making a hole career out of it, but the shortened forms mean people are intent on being aggressive, and seem to avoid the ball late by turning their back

Could be an unlikely win here, effectively 8 down, and if only we could catch

Imrul back after being stretchered off yesterday

All those draw predictions might have been premature!
