BD need to make competitive pitches. These kind of pitches will kill the interest in Test cricket.
 
Why did Bangladesh prepare a non-spinning pitch though? I hope they lose now.
 
Boring match. Easy runs. My advice is to not watch it. Bangladesh are a joke! don't even play to strengths.
 
you can't blame the team if you prepare such a flat track

And why didn't they prepare a turning pitch? I tell you why because a draw is a big deal than a win to Bangladesh and living of that drawn test against Sri Lanka. Either this will be a boring draw or Bangladesh handed the win to New Zealand.
 
Strip Bangladesh of their test status. Just making a mockery to the game. BCB are just scared simple as that even against New Zealand.
 
At the end of the day, the score is 280-5. The game is balance.

If 2 set batsman were in the crease then it would have been advantage to NZ but now that Baz has departed its back to ground zero because the 2 new batsman have to consolidate

A draw is likely though unless NZ or BD batsman commit hara kiri. With BD you can expect some sucidle batting, and as for NZ you never know. They have a history of being bundled out under pressure. Turning out to be quite a contest

Sorry mate. Would have loved to attend the match at the stadium but my exams are not 3 weeks away.

I only watched 1 hour of the match on TV. Rest of the time just followed in CI.
 
These tosses needs to be recorded closely. Just don't trust them for some reason. Anyway, Despite the last wickets, it has been New Zealand day. This is a big test for Bangladesh otherwise people will question their test status yet again if they flop with the bat on their favourite wicket and cannot at least draw this.

Having Mominul was a mistake. Too many left handers in Bangladesh side and New Zealand have left arm seamers.

Tamim/Mominul/Shakib - Thats only 3 left handed batsman

I dont think its a bad play to have plenty of lefties, because it would ensure left-right combination. And also these guys would be useful against Sodhi the leggie
 
NZ set to resume 280/5 in about an hours time.

You know leggies love bowling to left handers, I personally enjoy bowling to left handers, i like it when they go for a drive and i rattle their stumps with my awesome spin bowling :warne

Game's over, I think the kiwis have already scored enough runs. We will bundle out for less than two hundred against their pace attack.
 
They can reach 400 quite easily, Watling is a class batsman, I would declare scoring 400 as that's more than enough with the bowlers the Kiwis got.

I have a feeling Bruce is going to pick a fiver
 
Well one was on debut and the other is a bowler who can bat a bit.

can your players stop making a bowler of ishant quality look like Anderson? maybe I am a bit too harsh on ishant.l
 
Bracewell is in fine form, he scored a 104* vs Srilanka A and 96 against Inida A, he's the dangerman here
 
Pretty disappointed in Anderson. If hes going to bat at 6 in the test team he can't poke at wide balls like that.

He was good enough to play First Class cricket at 16 so the talent is there.
 
I love it everytime when someone bashes Shakib, i hate his arrogance. Come on Doug bash him some more

Check out his song :yk
 
Should look to score enough so we only need to bat once i.e. 500+
 
NZ need to move on from TTF Fulton.

Average of 29 and strike rate of 42.

urghhh.

Makes Azhar Ali look like Dravid :waqar
