Shravi knows his cricket. Martin will not be dropped until he retires sadly, Vettori has for a few years now seen him as his best bowler for some unknown reason. He just isn't attacking enough for my liking. Yea he might end up with tidy figures of 3/90 just about every innings, but he just doesn't take enough top order wickets.

This is Shakib's best innings with the bat for a long time. Haven't watched it so I don't know how fluky it was 
Yeah, but every single one of them is injured at the moment. New Zealand's quickest bowler Mitchell McClenaghan has been out injured all season. Trent Boult is still recovering from back stress-fractures. Hamish Bennett has been injured for the most part of the season (I think he made his comeback last week)
In the perfect world Andy McKay would be our 10-15th best seamer, but because of retirement and injuries he's know our 4-5th best seamer.

is this pitch flat as a pancake like the ones against india?
why the hell would you prepare a pitch like this for a 1 test series? if bangla avoid the follow on it will be difficult to force a result.

Yeah it's pretty flat. It's not a bad wicket though. They needed something flat when Bangladesh play though because they want the game to go 5 days or at least 4.
Not really. We have a few young guys and injured players (McKay for example) but really we can't drop Martin because we don't have a replacement. His bowling is ok, he's still high 130kms and hits low 140s at times. He needs to stop going around the wicket.

Wasn't really fluky. He played some solid shots and then played some shots you wouldn't play when your team is 300 runs behind but even then he played those shots well.
Where is all them kids that played in the U19 WC? There was some talent there. Are they playing any first class matches.
It's been a mixture of good shots and terrible ones. He's in all honestly lucky to still be in but he's ridden his luck and played some good shots so yeah.
