New Zealand v Bangladesh | 1st ODI | Christchurch | December 26, 2016

New Zealand win the toss and bat first on Boxing Day.

The phenomenal one - The Fizz, returns.

Bangladesh's first bilateral series away from home in more than two years. After beating New Zealand, West Indies, Pakistan, India and South Africa at home can they prove themselves in foreign conditions?

And 15 degree Celsius

 

[Dios]

Fizz's action looks different. Not as fluid as before.

 

[Aman]

Do Bangladesh have any fast bowlers?

So far they've only had 2 medium pacers bowl at 120 kph.... rare to play a team with much slower bowlers than us.

Seems NZ commentators don't know about Mustafixur

The Phenomenal One is GOAT, don't you dare compare The Fizz to the Phenomenal One.

 

[Dios]

Fizz strikes!

 

[Aman]

Seriously Bangladeshi's overrate the hell out of Fizz, nothing special about him at all.

Still all cutters and slower balls.

Talk him up like he's Rabada

 

[Executioner]

Aus comms as well. English and SA comms in that sense do their homework much better

 

[shaz619]

Thankfully NZ have found their level

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Guptil goes,fizz strikes. NZ 31/1.

Also has a mean Yorker.

And trust me in full flow he can bowl 140+

Fizz was bowling 140+ pre-injury. Clearly needs some time to hit those speeds again after a surgery and a 6 month layoff.

Mash can barely break 130 kph these days.

Taskin should be hitting 140+ with ease. Rubel is in the squad. I recall he easily beat all the NZ pacers and was the fastest bowler when BD and NZ met in the World Cup.

 

[Shafi]

Same pitch Bangladesh bowlers are doing far better than us. Amir needs to learn from Fizz how to apply pressure and take wickets. Well done

His stats speak for himself. No one needs to overrate him.

As long as he came take wickets with less runs

Should have got one fast bowler in... rather depressing to watch when the oppositions bowlers can't get it over 130kph..

This is his comeback game after Injury and still NZ players are clueless about him. I think he can easily hit 135-140 consistently. Which is a fine pace if you have his variations and mystic

 

[Aman]

Mitch and Henry take wickets, yet no one rates them that highly at all.

Guptill trying to play the aggressor like he does always makes him clueless lol?

He always plays like this, he needs to because Latham always takes his time to get in (and rarely scores).

and the Ind,sa,Pak players too by giving their wickets.

 

[Executioner]

Are they averaging less than 15 with ball in hand?

 

[Aman]

Are they averaging less than 15 with ball in hand?

Both had great numbers in their first year - averages were both below the 20's. Never hyped them anywhere as high as Bangladeshi's have Fizz because I knew they didn't have the skill or ability to maintain those averages.

 

[Dios]

Good comeback from Bangladesh. New Zealand were threatening to grab the match by the horns.

 

[Aman]

I just don't rate Fizz at all, he doesn't have the skill or ability to maintain an average of ~15. He's had a good start to his career, but I have no doubt he will finish his career with an average closer to 30 than 20.

 

[Executioner]

Both had great numbers in their first year and averages below the 20's.

Fizz is averaging less than 13 for the record. Averaging 13 or less is something unique. Regardless of venom.

Performance has been similar in T20Is.

Not saying your bowlers were bad but if you average less than 15 and get several 5-fers then you will get accolades.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Mitch and Henry take wickets, yet no one rates them that highly at all.

It's fault of your fans,why blame other fans?

 

[Shafi]

Mustafiz is easily the best bowler in these days. Batsmen don't have any clue

Don't need to care what you think...we are in present,not imaginative future.

 

[Aman]

Such a tuk tuk batting line up... will take a miracle to get 300 from here.

Middle order and lower order filled with duds.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Taskin here. Hope he clicks 140+ kph and dismantle kiwis

 

[Aman]

Finally a bowler who can bowl with some pace

 

[Aman]

Some pace on the ball finally, 120 clicks is tough to get away to the boundary for physically weaker players like Latham and KW.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

FOUR of first ball

 

[Shafi]

Such a tuk tuk batting line up... will take a miracle to get 300 from here.

Middle order and lower order filled with duds.

Because Bangladesh bowlers are bowling in the right length

 

[GrandMaster]

Taskin s action is still not clear

 

[Dios]

Third ball 140+ from Taskin.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Finally a bowler who can bowl with some pace

Pace without accuracy is rubbish

 

[Aman]

Because Bangladesh bowlers are bowling in the right length

Because this team is doubting themselves and not looking to attack like they did under McCullum.

Gone are the days of McCullum, Guptill and Ryder

That right length would have been fetched into the stands.

 

[Aman]

Eillot's medium pace could have been handy here..

 

[Dios]

I just don't rate Fizz at all, he doesn't have the skill or ability to maintain an average of ~15. He's had a good start to his career, but I have no doubt he will finish his career with an average closer to 30 than 20.

Lol do you think anyone expects him to maintain an average of 15 at the end of his career. That would make him the GOAT.

If he can keep it under 25 with a good econ. rate he'll be among the best of his generation.

If you're excluding Starc perhaps.

I doubt he finishes off with a better career than Rabada though, he has it all to be one of the games greats IMO.

 

[Dios]

If you're excluding Starc perhaps. I doubt he finishes off with a better career than Rabada.

I said he'll be up there. Very difficult to predict who will be the best outright. He could have a better LOI career than Rabada but Rabada is way ahead ahead of anyone in the younger lot in Tests.

 

[GrandMaster]

I didn't know soumya is a fast bowler

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh playing a bowler short. So soumya bowling

And he bowls a jaffa

 

[Hasan123]

Williamson is a good batsmen but in odis he's in danger of going down the Amla route of having good stats but lacking any impact in this format.

He needs to accelerate as it doesn't seem Latham can but also a player of his ability should be able to. Lets see what he can do but I worry about Williamson in the LO formats. In tests he will be fine but it's touch and go if he will finish as am atg in that format.

 

[Dios]

Mashrafe trying to do too much too soon. Already five bowlers used.

 

[Orange Tree]

Bangla captain Mashrafe thinks he's too smart. Lol, bringing on part timers on 13th over of the game... LOL.


Perhaps he did it to allow taskin to bowl from other end of the wicket......who knows.

 

[Justcrazy]

Williamson goes past 4 000 runs in OD

 

[Justcrazy]

of the last ball of the over , spoils the over

 

[Justcrazy]

BD are giving away easy runs here

 

[Orange Tree]

This is belter of a wicket with lightning quick outfield........ NZ will score well over 300 on this road

 

[Justcrazy]

78 / 1

14 overs

 

[Dios]

Williamson gone.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Taskin strikes

 

[Space Cat]

Kane snicks off to a long hop. Becoming a habit of his.

 

[Orange Tree]

2 down.

Can Bangla prevent NZ from scoring 400

 

[Executioner]

Unless Bangladesh lose more than 2 wickets in the first 10 overs which is very likely, we should be able to chase whatever NZ will set.

 

[Executioner]

2 down.

Can Bangla prevent NZ from scoring 400

Atleast they aren't going to score 500

 

[Belawal2014]

I'm backing BD here.

 

[Dios]

Good over from Taskin.

 

[Aman]

Another failure for Kaptain, have to give him credit for looking to accelerate though.

Sadly, he doesn't have that gear where he can put every second ball to the boundary once set.

Definitely an inferior version of Amla in Tests and ODI's.

 

[Aman]

Neil Broom

 

[Orange Tree]

Taskin looks like a decent t bowler when he gets the line and length tight. I think he tries way too many things. As a result he loses his line and length quite frequently. He should just stick to the basics.

 

[Dios]

Not many players in that NZ line-up you feel like could do a lot of damage now that Guptill and Williamson are gone. Bangladesh have to be aggressive when they come out to bat. It's a good wicket.

 

[Executioner]

Taskin looks like a decent t bowler when he gets the line and length tight. I think he tries way too many things. As a result he loses his line and length quite frequently. He should just stick to the basics.

Probably gets tad bit excited. He is just 21 and a tall strapping lad.

Quite an anamoly in Bangladesh. He does get a lot of flak but he gets the wickets and crucial ones.

Best thing about him is that he is going from strength to strength. Improved his Yorker and slower ball. Also increased his pace.

 

[Aman]

Thank god Pakistan-Aus is about to start soon.

The standard of cricket in this match is quite poor, neither side of any real quality.

 

[Orange Tree]

Kiwi commentators r contradicting with one another about Taskin. One is saying taskin has a stiff Runup while other is saying he has a nice fluid Runup.



Which one should I believe

 

[Executioner]

Our young pacers -taskin and Fizz are guaranteed to give away around 10 runs in the outfield atleast.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Thank god Pakistan-Aus is about to start soon.

Better say,your team NZ is not real quality.

 

[Aman]

Better say,your team NZ is not real quality.

An international team which opens with two 120kph medium pacers in ODI's against a side which is Guptill or nothing.

 

[Space Cat]

Kiwi commentators r contradicting with one another about Taskin. One is saying taskin has a stiff Runup while other is saying he has a nice fluid Runup.



Which one should I believe

His run up looks ungainly but hes obviously trying to keep the ball out in front of him for whatever reason. Probably helps keeps things lined up in action.

 

[Executioner]

This short ball rubbish again

 

[Space Cat]

Important series for NZ middle order. Need to find some guys who can step up. Fans need to be patient though.

Lets not forget Mccullum and Elliott just retired and Ross Taylor is injured.

 

[Orange Tree]

Rubbish captaincy from Bangla captain Mashrafe. He's allowing the inexperienced NZ middle order batters to settle down by continuing with a part timer trundler like Sarkar.


He should have introduced spin right away.

 

[Space Cat]

Broom is a odd selection at this stage in his career but hes better than henry nicholls.

 

[Executioner]

Tbh Bangladesh hasn't bowled well today.

It seems that players are struggling to find their lengths. Happens when you don't play much in these conditions.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Poor umpiring

 

[Executioner]

That looked dead plumb
