[Justcrazy]

342 / 9

 

[Justcrazy]

BD will have to Bat well in first Innings to save this game.

 

[Aman]

Boult should just go for it.

 

[Executioner]

BJ thinks everyone is as good as bracewell. should farm the strike that noob

 

[Aman]

Boult and Sodhi can bat.

 

[SmugP]

Should look to score enough so we only need to bat once i.e. 500+

you must be tripping on some strong acid my friend! even if you score 700, you will have to bat again, and you'll be lucky to get half of that.

 

[Aman]

I see we just passed 350..

 

[Justcrazy]

Watling batting well here.

 

[SmugP]

BD will have to Bat well in first Innings to save this game.

Nah, I reckon if NZ don't get 400 they will be facing a deficit first innings.

 

[SmugP]

I see we just passed 350..

well 350 more to go then to even think of an innings victory.

 

[Justcrazy]

358 / 9

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 19 runs already.

 

[Executioner]

watling plays spin well. funny how the shorter players play spin so well and the others struggle

 

[GenericBrand]

BD really struggling against the tail.

 

[SmugP]

that should have been the end! but umpires seem to have done a pretty good job so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

365 / 9

 

[Justcrazy]

372 / 9

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shakib is only good at picking tailenders, what an overrated fellow

 

[Justcrazy]

378 / 9

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

22 more runs and the Kiwis will thrash the living hell outta us

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I wanted the Kiwis to bat out day two, if we bat our scores will read like this 78/9

 

[Aman]

Why so negative? Southee isn't even playing.

 

[Energetic]

Bangladesh are a joke. Don't even prepare a spinning pitch from day 1. lol Rubel Hossain 17 test matches and bowling average almost 75 lol no wonder New Zealand aren't bowled out. Rahim captaincy can be idiotic at times, doesn't bowl Robiul Islam who can also bowl good yorkers unlike that joke Rubel.

 

[Aman]

Disappointed with our batsmen, we should have really put up 500+

 

[Justcrazy]

It would be interesting to see how BD bat here today, could be crucial.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Why so negative? Southee isn't even playing.

Even Vitori not Daniel but Brian picked a fiver against us, Southee who? give the ball to Fulton and he'll have a ten wicket haul at the end of the day against our ttf. :kami

Even Saeed has picked up wickets against us and that my friend is a fact

 

[Energetic]

I haven't seen the 2 day morning session. Was it spinning yet?

 

[Executioner]

Disappointed with our batsmen, we should have really put up 500+

NZ did very well to score more than 350. this pitch is not really suited to your batsman.

 

[SmugP]

this is either really bad bowling or a really flat track. either way hella annoying.

 

[Aman]

Wow we're still batting

 

[SL_Fan]

500 anyone?

 

[Energetic]

Easy win for NZ. I still doubt it will teach the management of Bangladesh any sort of lesson even if they do lose and guarantee you there will be another flat pith in Dhaka.

 

[Energetic]

Stripping Bangladesh of test status would be a wise move.

 

[Justcrazy]

Stripping Bangladesh of test status would be a wise move.

True.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bd would have to bat really well here to draw. They will have to bat out at least 4 sessions in first innings.

 

[Aman]

Boult to get a maiden ton?

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

Walting approaching a hundred

 

[Justcrazy]

partnership 100

 

[Justcrazy]

can anyone say , what is highest last wicket partnership ever in Test ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Bd players look tired and disinterested.

 

[Energetic]

Give Ireland a chance and Bangladesh should drop down a bit so it can WAKE them up! threw away the win and now have the bat to draw and doubt they can do that. Pathetic team that don't even play to their strengths at home. Their body language is also a disgrace.

 

[eradicator]

163 : Between Agar and Hughes in the Last Ashes. Still a long way away from that record.

 

[Justcrazy]

Neil: "The score's gone from 282/7 to 449/9. The tail isn't just wagging, it's carrying the dog around"

 

[Justcrazy]

Can BD get rid of this partnership in next 4 - 5 overs ?

 

[Justcrazy]

460 / 9

 

[hafeezrocks]

Bangladesh Cricket sucks.

 

[Justcrazy]

Watling gets his hundred

 

[Aman]

Why would Bangladesh extend for another 30 mins? )

 

[Justcrazy]

Even this session would be extended by half an hour as the team is nine wickets down. Bangladesh haven't taken a wicket in more than three hours now

 

[Aman]

Looks out.

 

[Aman]

Even this session would be extended by half an hour as the team is nine wickets down. Bangladesh haven't taken a wicket in more than three hours now

Do they have a choice?

 

[Justcrazy]

Finally

 

[Justcrazy]

so 469 is what NZ made , BD would need at least 350 here to draw.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good hundred from watling, looks like Kiwis have a good total here on a wicket which looks like it will crumble into moon dust as game goes on.

 

[SmugP]

Yeah the BCB are pathetic in rolling out such a flat track when they should have made a turner. They'll make a minefield when Zimbabwe tours so that ZIM can get an easy Test win by only scoring 400 runs across both innings.

Lets see if it turns any as the match progresses. I'm betting Sodhi will get more turn that our spinners. Banglades will need to score at least 500 to have a chance. Tall ask with 3 veritable debutants in the top 4 batting slots.

 

[Energetic]

The purpose of playing test Cricket is to WIN not draw. Bangladesh cannot do that and shouldn't be playing Test Cricket. The other 9 test teams including Zimbabwe are fine and instead of Bangladesh, give the test status to Ireland. I'm saying that because I know Bangladesh batting innings coming up will be a big flop.

And to be honest, Ire and Afg have better bowlers than Bangladesh.

 

[Space Cat]

8 to 11 has been our middle order for years.

Why are BCB are a bunch of cowards? terrible board with too much Politics is ruining Bangladesh Cricket.

 

[Space Cat]

Our bowling is a bit weakened with two debutantes and Boult will be tired from batting.

 

[Space Cat]

No Chris Martin at 11 any more

 

[Space Cat]

School mate batting now

Both our school mates debuting lol.

Corey Anderson was a few years below me at high school. Was a better left arm bowler than me already at that age.

 

[Aman]

Ha! what are the odds

 

[Justcrazy]

Tanim

 

[Space Cat]

Doug Bracewell costs himself a wicket with a no ball every test match it seems.

 

[Space Cat]

Ha! what are the odds

My schools a bit of a sporting powerhouse though so can't really claim it since i barely knew him.

 

[Aman]

Maybe we might just run through Bangladesh

 

[Justcrazy]

Boult has got his 50th Test Wicket

 

[Aman]

My schools a bit of a sporting powerhouse though so can't really claim it since i barely knew him.

Mine was just a small public school, Dillion Boucher was the biggest name we had.

 

[Justcrazy]

BD 2 down .

 

[hafeezrocks]

BD living upto its reputation.

 

[Space Cat]

Mine was just a small public school, Dillion Boucher was the biggest name we had.

Mine is a big public school and a huge rugby school (almost 50 All Blacks i think)

Produced a few handy cricketers though like Richard Hadlee, Chris Cairns and the legend himself Chris Martin.

 

[SmugP]

I guess its safe to say NZ are motivated this series?

 

[Justcrazy]

19 / 2

BD need a really big partnership here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mominul dealing in boundaries

 

[Justcrazy]

Mominul playing aggressively here.

 

[Space Cat]

This guy is playing some shots.

Bruce Martin doesn't bowl well to left hand batsman.

 

[Justcrazy]

6 boundaries in 19 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

Lets see how much more the fun will last.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ayub should not get carried away here , he should bat according to his own limits.
