New Zealand summer of cricket

[Marklar_33]

Caught a decent portion of the series (couple of hours of each match) and whilst their bowling is at quite a good competitive level away from home, the fielding was utterly abysmal. Batting is still very hot and cold too. They're on the right path but geez it's frustrating sometimes.

I only managed to catch the chase in game 3, and the amount of balls going through legs was astounding

Nice start Ronchi....

Thanks for the reminder!

Munro going nuts, 28 from that Mahmudullah over

Bangladesh making a decent fist of this 196

 

[Marklar_33]

Aaaaaand I've kiss of death'd them

 

[Marklar_33]

Corey Anderson a lazy 94 off 41 balls helping NZ to 194/4 after being 58/3 at 10 overs

And then gets out for a 3-ball duck the next game

10 sixes, too!

Feels like ages since he's put up a big score.

Yeah, injury has ruined the past 2 years for him. Still rarely bowls again yet

Just tuned in to the test, Bangas 2/104, anyone know why they're only using a camera from one end?

Edit: just saw that the wind had knocked over a camera.

 

[PhatBoy]

Good approach from Tamim and Mominul.


This has the potential to be a definitive tour for the Bangas. If the weather allows it at least

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Camera at one end only?

Wind knocked one over.

Beautiful day in Wellington, albeit a little windy (as per usual).
Love this cricket ground as its used as a huge round-about.

As good a bowler as Southee is, he does bowl a lot of rubbish.

Gone backwards since about 13'/14' when he was talked about in the same circles as Steyn and Johnson

Bangers going alright on a greenish pitch.

Really hope we can play them in a top end home tour this winter. Really think it should become a regular thing with Zimbabwe and potentially the Windies. Gives us a chance to experiment and blood talent before the main tours.

We're touring Bangladesh this year aren't we?

Brilliant session for Bangladesh there. I'm unsure how their bowling line-up will go in these conditions but they are really starting to build a test standard top 7.

Yes, and hosting them.

Really hope Bangladesh can make a game out of this.

Bowling might not be too effective (Taskin Ahmed's only playing his first Test, Mustafizur only comes back in the following one) but if they put up a 400+ score a draw seems like a strong bet.

santner will be spewing when he dropped a sitter off shakib when he was on 1 yesterday

 

[HBF]

NZ in for a tough match I reckon. Bangers could get 450+ if they continue to bat well.

 

[Kipz]

 

[ioppolo]

Fair partnership this.

 

[the universal]

Shakib with a hundred. Nice work.

 

[STFU Donnie]

Shakib al Hasan. What a player this guy is. Just completed his ton, giving him career figures of:

3030 runs @ 40.40.

Plus he has 159 w @ 32.18.

It would be nice to actually see him play in Oz.
