Bangladesh v New Zealand l 1st Test l Chittagong | Oct 9-13, 2013

[Bilal7]

Well we are playing without Southee.

Our spinners aren't great and Sodhi is playing his first game, we'll win the second.

Southee would have gotten smashed around as well. He isn't much better than your other pacers. Hopefully this puts an end to all the Kiwi hype that you were creating.

I do hope for all the NZ fans that your team has a better showing in the next test.

 

[Professor]

When did you guys win a test?

Against Bangaldesh? He won the all test that we have ever played against them.

I'll still take our pacers over Junaid Akram

 

[Executioner]

I don't really rate your spinners, they're probably worse than ours.

nah. your spinners are like our pace bowlers. no line or length

 

[Aman]

nah. your spinners are like our pace bowlers. no line or length

Don't all your spinners have an average excess of 50?

Ours are relatively new and will improve over time.

We should drop Martin for Wagner for the next game.

Ish is still new and Williamson is a part timer.

 

[Executioner]

501 all out

 

[Aman]

Boring draw it is..

These pitches will be the end of test cricket

shakib and gazi averages less than 40

 

[Aman]

What about your other 5 spinners?

 

[Convict]

I suppose it's always good to know that no matter what- we're still better than New Zealand

 

[Executioner]

What about your other 5 spinners?

they are just there to make up the numbers. I don't rate raz for Tests at all. these 2 are our mainstay and 2 if them are enough just hoping that we have some quality Pacers to back iur spinners

 

[Aman]

I suppose it's always good to know that no matter what- we're still better than New Zealand

I'd back us to beat you guys, your batsmen are hopeless.

 

[Aman]

Your batsmen are talented but your bowlers are very average, I was disappointed we didn't make 500+ against them on this track.

 

[OZGOD]

I'd back us to beat you guys, your batsmen are hopeless.

Lawlz, we're not talking about rugby and your "Big and Little Pacific Islands Combined XV" here mate - this is cricket! Shame those Tongans and Samoans don't like playing cricket eh.

 

[Energetic]

Doesn't Shakib have best bowling figures of 7/36 against NEW ZEALAND?

 

[Aman]

Can you remind me who won the last time we played?

 

[Aman]

Doesn't Shakib have best bowling figures of 7/36 against NEW ZEALAND?

Afridi has figures of 7/12 against WI, whats your point?

 

[Aman]

If Rutherford gets going who knows, we might have enough for a declaration.

 

[leatherface58]

What's with lower order batsmen scoring tons against us? First Bhaj(twice!) and now Gazi.

 

[Convict]

I'd back us to beat you guys, your batsmen are hopeless.

So are Bangladesh's- and they just scored 500

New Zealand more than any other team needs very favourable bowling conditions to compete. You're fortunate that you are such a minor drawcard that you were scheduled to play in Tassie

 

[Aman]

So are Bangladesh's- and they just scored 500

Bangladesh can bat on flat wickets didn't they score 500 against a SL attack featuring Hearth?

 

[mastermind_quad]

Rutherford is really a very good batsman ...

 

[Executioner]

Your batsmen are talented but your bowlers are very average, I was disappointed we didn't make 500+ against them on this track.

this is not SSC mate

 

[Aman]

Need a Rutherford special here to make things interesting.

 

[Aman]

this is not SSC mate

So you think we're not good enough to make 500 against your bowlers on this wicket?

 

[Mamoon]

So this is was the much improved NZ side we were talking about?

 

[soso_killer]

Really disappointing stuff this

 

[Aman]

So this is was the much improved NZ side we were talking about?

Things could we worse... we could be losing to an unranked side

 

[mastermind_quad]

Batsman quality can be judged from his defense . Rutherford is good in this and attacking ...good good...

 

[Aman]

What is Fulton doing

 

[mastermind_quad]

This is a 700+ pitch.

 

[Aman]

Rutherford is a batsmen who can go big, if he bats the day we could have a lead of 200+

 

[Aman]

Baz should promote himself up the order

 

[mastermind_quad]

Baz should promote himself up the order

Yes he should come up the order.

IMO 260-280 runs lead will be good in the 5th day to chase.

NZ missing a quality spinner ala Daniel Vettori or even J Patel (He was good in the county).

 

[pungi]

if rutherford plays for another 15-20 overs then bdesh could be in some serious trouble

 

[Aman]

^ Fulton is really killing interest in this game, we really need to go into ODI mode here.

 

[Aman]

Looks like we are going for it

 

[mastermind_quad]

Don't know whom to support.... I like both NZ and Bangladesh and want them to play tough cricket....

I just want result here and its possible.

 

[Mamoon]

Things could we worse... we could be losing to an unranked side

Nobody on this forum has called Pakistan a much improving side. We have all been pretty disappointed since the SA tour.

You on the other hand, have been singing NZ's praises and gloating over how top quality they are now so its hilarious how all that have come flat in the very game )

We do have some quality players coming through so why wouldn't I gloat? It's not often NZ fans get to do that especially when it comes to cricket.

 

[Mamoon]

Yeah, but conceding 500 to Bangladesh isn't the best exhibit of your talents.

 

[Aman]

Yeah, but conceding 500 to Bangladesh isn't the best exhibit of your talents.

Take Ajmal away and you wouldn't even be able to bowl out Bangladesh

It's a flat wicket and the Bangladeshis have proven they're good enough to cash in on conditions.

We were poor in the field and with ball but still credit to the Bangladeshis they batted really well.

 

[Mamoon]

Why should we take him away? He is our player.

I find this 'one man' jibes mildly hilarious.

If you take XYZ away from any team, they'd struggle.

 

[Executioner]

Things could we worse... we could be losing to an unranked side

we have lost to TnT

 

[Executioner]

So you think we're not good enough to make 500 against your bowlers on this wicket?

scoring 500 is a tough ask even if you played on a road

 

[Executioner]

Rutherford must be shattered.

 

[Aman]

I was just saying you'd struggle without him just like we've struggled without Southee.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Rutherford Hossain strikes.

the issue in your case is that these guys are old. Pakistan need to find a replacement as soon as possible

 

[Mamoon]

For how long with Rutherford leech his debut knock? He has done nothing ever since.

Looks the part, but doesn't have the substance.

He's played 6 tests..

 

[Mamoon]

Current form matters doesn't it?

You were criticizing Shafiq even though he had 2 hundreds in last 4 games.

There isn't a better batsmen knocking down the door is there? :umarakmal

 

[Varun]

Pretty good contest so far.

 

[Mamoon]

There isn't a better batsmen knocking down the door is there? :umarakmal

Umar and Asad don't have to compete for places. We need both. Together.

 

[Aman]

Umar and Asad don't have to compete for places. We need both. Together.

Won't happen

I would discard Azhar for Umar and move Shafiq up the order but that doesn't seem likely.

 

[Executioner]

There isn't a better batsmen knocking down the door is there? :umarakmal

I will take shafiq any day of the week in tests

 

[Aman]

I will take shafiq any day of the week in tests

Umar's growth as a batsmen is more important to Pakistan than short term success (draws)

 

[Justcrazy]

New Zealand lead by 39 runs with 9 wickets remaining

New Zealand lead by 40 runs with 9 wickets remaining

Shakib looks like he chucks tbh (Williamson too)

 

[Convict]

Have to agree.
I've seen Williamson bowl a bit and it looks pretty dodgy.

 

[Aman]

Williamson's action is dodgy to most but what about Shakib? No one has ever brought it up, maybe it's just different to me?

 

[Justcrazy]

25 overs left , Kiwis to lead by 130 by stumps.

 

[Justcrazy]

partnership 36 runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

Lead 63 now

 

[OZGOD]

So how's the little member of ANZAC going? Have they been bowled out yet?

 

[Justcrazy]

Robiul Islam to Fulton, no run

 

[Munna]

Fulton is playing a Misbah-esque innings here. Block, Block, and then Six

 

[Aman]

So how's the little member of ANZAC going? Have they been bowled out yet?

Australia are playing tomorrow

 

[Executioner]

Shakib looks like he chucks tbh (Williamson too)

not at all. razzaq does

 

[Justcrazy]

New Zealand lead by 48 runs with 9 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

rain rain rain

 

[Energetic]

Very likely a draw now. Even without the rain a draw looks likely which is a fair result to be honest. Both teams were pretty much equal played some good Cricket but also disgraceful Cricket. Hopefully the second test will be a more sporting wicket where bowlers have a big say. Don't forget this is newly relaid pitch in this current test.

 

[Space Cat]

So how's the little member of ANZAC going? Have they been bowled out yet?

Even we can't collapse on this pitch. I'm sure we will give it a good go though.

 

[Bilal7]

I'll still take our pacers over Junaid Akram

Junaid Akram was bowling out great like Sangakarra and Jayawardena on pitches flatter than this not too long ago.

Your pacers can only be decent in helpful conditions. Would be hilarious if the "much improved" Kiwi side collapse tomorrow!

 

[Space Cat]

Lawlz, we're not talking about rugby and your "Big and Little Pacific Islands Combined XV" here mate - this is cricket! Shame those Tongans and Samoans don't like playing cricket eh.

All Blacks team all born in NZ mate. Would you prefer we only selected the white players?

Also Ross Taylor is Samoan

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

The great kiwi side, what a team, pathetic performance from them. Disgraceful, even letting Gazi score a ton

 

[GenericBrand]

BD has the worst curator...ever...
