Test New Zealand Tour of Bangladesh (2 Tests)

[Plugger35]

Latham on his bike now too getting a bottom edge and a good catch from the keeper.

 

[Santana]

Nicholls

 

[Plugger35]

Another poor shot from Nicholls, hard to believe he is getting picked ahead of Ravindra, he may not be for much longer though.

Absolute s**t truck, useless sack needs dropping a.s.a.p.

 

[Plugger35]

Willamson gone to a great catch.

That first innings lead isn't looking all that likely now.

 

[Santana]

lol they celebrated that LBW like it was bowled. Rough

Mitchell may as well keep hitting out

 

[Plugger35]

We might get bowled out before stumps at this rate.

saved by the bad light

 

[Plugger35]

Bad light coming to our rescue.

rain

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like it could be raining for most of the day but at least it might extend this test into the weekend.

2 full days of rain & they'll probably still get a result with how far the match is advanced & the pitch conditions.

There is a part of me that likes the fact that Bangladesh has evolved to the point where they are a competitive home side now (if nothing else it makes the mighty Windies’ sweep of them a few years ago look even better) but I still have my doubts in the long run as to what good it’s doing them. It set India and Sri Lanka back so long in being able to win on the quicker pitches with any sense of regularity. Pakistan seemed to twig a bit quicker

The forecast looks OK for the next few days so they shouldn't have any problem getting a result even if today ends up being a total washout.

They had a test win in NZ last year, I think it was their first test win outside of the subcontinent so they are at least making some progress

Yeah I watched a lot of it and it was good to see and obviously showed a lot of progress, I am just a bit reserved about whether it will translate to much more in the medium term.

I guess you would rather see them develop even a ‘lions at home’ mentality than just an easybeats full stop identity anyway

Shanto looks to have the makings of a good young captain and he made a great ton in the first test of this series to lead from the front.

They need to move past Shakib who was a great player but wasn't a great captain and by all accounts he was a toxic and divisive figure.

 

[Plugger35]

So the day has ended up being a total washout, disappointing but at least we didn't lose any more wickets so that's a positive.

 

[Plugger35]

They have finally resumed play.

There is still some hope of us getting a first innings lead if Mitchell and Phillips can put together a good partnership with help from our tail.

 

[akkaps]

That turned out to be a bad review

 

[Plugger35]

A great catch from Mehidy to dismiss Mitchell, it is now up to Phillips and the tail.

 

[Plugger35]

Hopefully Jamieson can stick around longer than Santner did, Phillips is batting well but he needs some support.

 

[Plugger35]

A great fifty from Phillips, the first of the test match, he has booked his spot in the test team now.

 

[Plugger35]

Shoriful getting the breakthrough by dismissing Jamieson.

We need a captain's knock from Southee now.

 

[Underarm]

Willamson gone to a great catch.

That first innings lead isn't looking all that likely now.

Never in doubt.

 

[Plugger35]

All out for 180, a lead of 8 runs, that's better than I expected at the start of the day.

A great knock from Phillips with 87 the main reason we have a lead.
