Slow start for Bnagladesh but a lot of batting fire power , yet to come

ferguson on a hattrick

 

[jog_1]

BD have a longgggg way to go before they'll be formidable overseas in LOIs.

 

[Muhammad10]

Bangladesh in a spot of bother. Soumya with his usual

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

BD have a longgggg way to go before they'll be formidable overseas in LOIs.

Same as current Pak,wi,Ind,sl,Aus,NZ,Eng,zim team. All have a long way to go before they'll be formidable OVERSEAS in LOIs and test . Not a surprise for bd who tours very little ,whereas after touring so many still all the big guns are still rubbish at OVERSEAS and it's a surprise,not the Bangladesh one. Cheers to all OVERSEAS rubbish ( ghar ka sher) teams.

 

[leatherface58]

I hope Bruce gets a go to show just how good a hitter is.

 

[MMHS]

I think, we'll post close to 150 - decent, but not match winning.

 

[Aman]

Should give some runs or else the game won't be interesting at all.

I want to get a good look at our batsmen and the crowd deserve better than a walk over win.

 

[Aman]

No better way to give runs than by bowling Henry at the death

Most teams compete in LOI's, Bangladesh have been smashed this series..

 

[Aman]

14 runs have come in wides

 

[street cricketer]

Why are kiwi bowlers spraying it around like anything..

 

[street cricketer]

Extras is the third highest scorer for Bangladesh today.

 

[Aman]

Henry is a horrible death bowler and I get the feeling they're giving some runs so they can test themselves (Henry is known by everyone to be a garbage death bowler).

Say what you like, but some teams do it against weaker teams so games are more enjoyable and their batsmen get something out of it..

 

[street cricketer]

Is the Fizz playing today?

 

[Muhammad10]

Mahmudullah with a clutch knock.

KW with a match winning knock today.

 

[Aman]

KW with a match winning knock today.

Kane might bring Bangladesh into the game with his tuk tuk.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Mahmudullah with a clutch knock.

epic Jinx.

 

[Aman]

141 should be a cake walk in this miniature ground, but who knows...

Guptill would have cleared the square boundaries with mishits

 

[Aman]

13 boundaries in the entire innings.

 

[Aman]

McLean Park looks smaller than the ground I usually play on..

 

[Aman]

It's going to take a special effort from the Bangladeshi's to defend this total.

 

[GullyCricketFlop]

Not a good enough total by Bangladesh.

 

[Aman]

That wouldn't have been out if the ANZ hoardings was there.

 

[Aman]

No idea how Munro got out to that delivery.

 

[160KPH]

No idea how Munro got out to that delivery.

Fizz just doesn't look threatening at all. He's a one trick pony.

 

[Aman]

Can't believe Munro nicked off to a gun barrel straight delivery

I can't recall the last time I saw that, you don't see it too often at this level.

 

[street cricketer]

Bangladesh are winning this match.
[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION], get ready for some epic baisti at the end

gun barrel straight one was a variation from Fizz

No off cutter and hence the surprise

 

[Aman]

Bangladesh are winning this match.

Would be embarrassing if they can't chase 140 on this kids ground.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

You missed the words 'very little' and 'so many' buddy.

 

[Aman]

What the hell was that Corey?

Lucky this isn't a big total.

 

[Protea Fan]

whatta poor shot from corey

 

[Aman]

Tom Bruce on debut.

Hopefully he delivers, I really want to get a good look of him today, he has a lot of hype behind him.

 

[street cricketer]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] getting slightly nervy.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangladesh are winning this match.

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION], get ready for some epic baisti at the end

Very unlikely. They still got 7wkts.

 

[street cricketer]

Very unlikely. They still got 7wkts.

Stop trying to reverse jinx Nil bhai..

Bangladesh are winning this.

 

[Aman]

Williamson doing his best to lose us another T20.

He shouldn't be playing this format.

 

[leatherface58]

This is getting outta hand now, What kind of bizarre tactics are these?

 

[street cricketer]

Bangladesh posters biding their time being silently confident of their chances.

Calm before the storm.

 

[street cricketer]

Lmao looks like it's really happening.

It's all upto Williamson now. [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangladesh posters biding their time being silently confident of their chances.

Calm before the storm.

I don't think we have any real chance .

 

[street cricketer]

Williamson is key here. If he gets out, it could all go awfully wrong for NZ.

 

[street cricketer]

I don't think we have any real chance .

Nil bhai at his jinxing best trying to jinx NZ.

 

[Protea Fan]

Williamson know exactly what he's doing

Scoring 9-10 at last 5 overs is not a big task if you have wickets

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Nil bhai at his jinxing best trying to jinx NZ.

�� actually ,no. I am just saying about reality

 

[Aman]

I'd like to admit I was so wrong about Kane being more talented than Smith.

Smith is miles more talented.

Kane is too one dimensional and doesn't have extra gears Smith has.

 

[Aman]

Williamson know exactly what he's doing

Scoring 9-10 at last 5 overs is not a big task if you have wickets

McCullum and Guptill would have had this match won within 14 overs.

The ground is tiny and there is nothing in the wicket.

Mediocre cricket all round.

 

[Aman]

Williamson is key here. If he gets out, it could all go awfully wrong for NZ.

Pitch is good to bat on, the batsmen have just batted so poorly here. McCullum and Guptill would have won these games quickly, the players just aren't in the right state of mind under Kane.

Mccullum is retaired and guptil is sitting on the bench so whats the point here

I am not seeing nuz winnng this match if kane was not their and watching how awfully the other batters played

Yes sometimes medicore cricket wins you games

 

[street cricketer]

Kane doing it in style.

Williamson shouldn't be playing this format period.

Bring in Taylor/Glenn Phillips for him.

 

[street cricketer]

Sarkar trying to do a Grandhomme to the man himself!

 

[Protea Fan]

Bring in Taylor/Glenn Phillips for him.

Thats because of too much haterd i guess

 

[Aman]

Thats because of too much haterd i guess

If you've watched him play the format, you'd know he isn't fit for this format. He's like our Fawad Alam in LOI's.

 

[Protea Fan]

Kane's pacing of the inngs is appealing

Good player and very good inngs

 

[Zeshan547]

So another moral victory for BD, 4-0 with another 4 to go.

 

[street cricketer]

Colin de Grandhomme is the next Ian Botham.

 

[Aman]

Kane's pacing of the inngs is appealing

Good player and very good inngs

He would have been out the moment he started to accelerate had the Bangladeshi fieldsman stayed on the boundary. This is typical Kane, just not cut out for T20's and grossly overrated in ODI's. Easily the weakest batsmen of the fab 4, you should really have Qdk in there instead and we probably will next year.

 

[Aman]

de Grandhomme sees NZ home

 

[Aman]

de Grandhomme deserves MOTM but Kane will get it.

 

[street cricketer]

Grandhomme finishes in style.

 

[SL_Fan]

Bangladesh 141/8 (20/20 ov)
New Zealand 143/4 (18/20 ov)

 

[Thivagar]

Visitors getting whooped as usual abroad. Nothing new.

 

[MMHS]

^^ Still should have been better fought - T20 wickets & condition are least adverse for the visitors. A 6 wicket win inside 18 overs in T20, means we were never in the game. I didn't watch at night, but most irritating was to opt for batting first - I don't think we can beat any side from top 8 batting first in T20.

 

[Slog]

Bangladesh seem to be disintegrating now
