New Zealand in Bangladesh, October 2010/11

D/L taking away 13 overs for 18 runs was ridiculous. As if any side in ODI cricket ever bats at 1.4 an over for 13 overs. We got utterly shafted. Bangladesh lucky but they played well so good on them. The method is outdated and should be canned.

Utter embarrassment for NZ.
 
yeah the 4 wickets they lost did in their D/L target but it still seemed rather steep.

goes back to what I said earlier in this thread though, Bangladesh should be sorry to lose the tests, they are beginning to creep up to NZs and West Indies standards(although both those teams are going through difficult patches which help)
 
Yet another fluke for Bangladesh, the only way they can win matches is when rain comes down or a batsman or bowler in the opposition side gets injured.

erm, didn't bangladesh have mortaza limp off after 1 over? that and playing the series without their best batsman.
 
tweaking ████. I lost 20M on this game
 
Shocker of a game there. Shakib did a pretty good job...

In which scenario will you not call the win fluke? :p

And 2 of our main bowlers. They just randomly got a bowler in to cover the injury. He wasn't in he squad.

anyone know why shafiul and rubel aren't playing? shafiul was the stand out bowler when they beat england, they keeping swapping the fast bowlers about.
they are injured/sick

Our strike bowler Shafiul Islam, plus Rubel Hossain could be out for the 1st ODI. Keeper Rahim has fever. Too many injuries. I don't really care much for Rahim. It's just fever, plus I don't like his keeping any ways. So gives a chance to Jahurul to wk, and probably even open the batting since Tamim is not here.

But Shafiul will be a big miss.
 
Great, now Nazmul is out for the next 2 ODIs too. Now we have zero fast bowlers left. And here is to hoping that they don't bring in Shahadat Hossain Sharapova.

Just like that Zim tour, where they had to bring in back up bowlers for the back ups.
 
I should take up medium pace and move to Bangladesh. At this rate I might get to play a few games for them...
 
Didn't this happen last time we played in Bangladesh?
 
In the previous tour New Zealand lost the first ODI if you mean that.

If you mean about bowlers getting injured at the start of the ODI series I don't know about it.
 
Yea we lost the first ODI I meant. And we came back strongly in the other two so hopefully we do the same here. I reckon Williamson needs to play. Any idea why Tuffey wasn't playing?

Chewie added 0 Minutes and 48 Seconds later...

D/L does help us IMO.
The only problem was we may get bowled out, but now we need only 110 runs with 6 wickets and 19.3 overs remaining.
That's over 10 overs taken away, without losing a wicket, even if we didn't pick up many runs.

CG123 added 0 Minutes and 41 Seconds later...

These two just need to bat the next ten overs, as we have four big hitters in the shed.

Bet you're kinda regretting saying this now :p
 
:facepalm

Our middle order just has no substance, without Styris and Oram.

Watling looked all at see, 14 balls without scoring against very average bowling that McCullum was taking apart.

I wasn't watching when Elliot came and went, so can't really comment on that, he has done some decent stuff against Aussie in the past, so I can't really comment.

Stewart shouldn't be there if Vettori is batting above him. FFS, Vettori at six in ODI's, wtf is next. Get rid of Stewart as they obviously have no faith in him to stick him down there, and he didn't exactly look that great at the crease, all be it it was a very tough situation to come in at. His running was shocking, almost had three run outs, before he actually got run out.

Solutions, I'd bring in Williamson and Redmond. Williamson is by far supreme to Watling at the domestic level, they've played against the same bowling on the same pitches, and Williamson has done much better, therefore I'm not sure why Watling has just jumped above him. I've also had a bit of time for Redmond, not sure why, I'd like to see Guptill there at the WC though.

McKay and Southee both bowled very average. McKay picked up a couple of cheapee's at the end, so his effort should really show no wickets. Both of them went at well over five an over, against a very very average BNG batting order.

Credit to BNG, I'm not going to use the D/L system as an excuse, everyone bar Dan and Bazza played flingen useless, so we deserved to lose.

Yes Taylor made 42, but he still looked pretty average, playing and missing, and only finding the fence twice. Mills was alright, but at times still got smashed by average batsmen. Nathan McCullum done a decent supporting role.

This is what I'd play for the next match:

1. B. McCullum
2. Ryder
3. Williamson
4. Taylor
5. Elliot - He's done well in the past, so hopefully he can come back into some form before the WC, otherwise Styris will move in here when he's fully fit.
6. Redmond/Stewart/Watling - We don't really have a proper number six, Oram and Vettori should both be at seven and eight. I would like to see Guptill batting at three, and Williamson move down here for the WC, stupid selectors for dropping Guptill.
7. Vettori
8. N. McCullum
9. Mills
10. Tuffey - Yes, I'd have him there ahead of Southee and McKay.
11. Southee/McKay/Bennett - I'd like to think Southee could develop here before the WC, but that doesn't seem likely, as he's still getting smashed. Therefore just trail and error. I'd look to play Oram here for the WC though.
