New Zealand in Bangladesh, October 2010/11

Taylor and Stewart doing an ok job rebuilding but those dismissals

:laugh:laugh:laugh

Bangladesh can be my new team.

 

[Chewie]

Looks like I spoke too soon...

Why is Mortaza still being touted as their leader for 2011 World Cup ?
I believe that he has only captained once in the last 3-4 months. Do you still feel he is the right person to lead Bangla,even after the first ODI victory ?

If Shakib steps down again, he will have to take over. But that fool keeps getting injured. And Shakib said he wants a permanent job, because he wants to earn players respect and settle down with them

3 more come on!!

So far I'm yet to be proven wrong after the stuff I said after the 1st ODI...

Our whole middle-lower order is a shambles, none of our batsmen are of an ODI standard except B. McCullum, Ryder, and Taylor, and all of them are very aggressive players, and more often than not at least two of them are going to get out cheaply.

We really need to bulk up our middle order, with decent players.

I don't know but wouldn't Williamson be worth a go. He can't do any worse than this lot at the moment

 

[McLOVIN]

Thanks to BCB for finally getting a separate fielding coach. None of that Batting slash Fielding, Spin slash fielding coordinator

McLOVIN added 10 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

Batting PP. We never really did very well in these slog overs. But the new bowling coach said he has been working on that. Lets see how they goes..

 

[Chewie]

Nice to see some aggression

 

[McLOVIN]

Ya same old story so far...

Why is Rubel bowling. Ross is batting SHakib should be bowling

McLOVIN added 3 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

Rubel just doubled his figures in one over

 

[ferg512]

If these two keep going 200 is quite achievable

 

[McLOVIN]

Shuvo 3 for 14, and 3 Ms. Damn, if he trims his beard he could be our Vettori vs Ban

McLOVIN added 1 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

This is the 2nd time that it was not a NO BALL! Lucky both times it went for 1

McLOVIN added 7 Minutes and 21 Seconds later...

fearsome tweak!

Ok now forget about those PP overs, and chase the target! This is still a low score.

It was the local umpire in both instances, for the record.

NZ 173, hm. I would be a bit more comfortable if it was 130ish like it could've been, but this is chaseable.

 

[McLOVIN]

^^ I know who he is. Of course it's not A. Dar just got ICC Umpire of the year award. I don't think he would make those dumb calls.

But just cause the other guy is local doesn't mean it's not stupid.

And 130 would've been the case, but I was afraid that things might change in PP overs.

Batting PP. We never really did very well in these slog overs. But the new bowling coach said he has been working on that. Lets see how they goes..

 

[Chewie]

If only Stewart had caught that. A really poor total though good effort from Mills and Taylor to get us anywhere near 200.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Wow, good for Bangladesh, but what is the deal with the Kiwis? Getting owned. Badly.

They'll probably roll Bangla out for 100 now, you watch
