Black Caps vs Bangles

[MN5]

Two guys get in the thirties and fuck all else in between. They don't like batting second time round do they?

@Chris-B. how many catches has the whole team shelled this series?

A quick search through the commentary and we've dropped at least five (all in the slips) in this match - Raval has dropped three and Southee and Taylor one each.

Channel Nine commentators would be insufferable if we'd fielded this poorly against Oz.

And a similar quick look through the Cricinfo commentary for the first test, I think we dropped six in that game: Latham (2), Taylor, Santner, Southee and Boult.

The Bangies have shown an ability to collapse that even the BCs teams of yesteryear would be shocked at. Fingers crossed

Nostradamus!

You reading this shit @mariner4life ? The broken clock has struck repeatedly this tour.....

[mariner4life]

@MN5 yea, repeatedly calling the Bangles shithouse is real ground breaking stuff...

I haven't had a fern moment like this since predicting Tua would knockout Cameron in the second round back in 2009

Rattue and Reason would be in awe of my clairvoyance.

[mariner4life]

so, Mitch Santner, big test with the ball...

I know. The poor guy hasn't even had a chance to prove he's not test standard like our other spinners.

[mariner4life]

short stuff at the tail working a treat...

[MN5]

How many overs to be bowled tonight?

[Chris B.]

@MN5 19 overs with a possible half hour extension from 7pm.

I expect we'll be back tomorrow.

[MN5]

@Chris-B.

Righto. Yeah looking likely especially cos of that pesky tail end partnership.

Bangles starting to crumble - essentially 27/4. Last specialist batsmen at the crease.

Be surprised if we ended having to chase much more than 100. Could be even over before the end of play today

yup..well apart from coming back tomorrow

[MN5]

26-0 already. They're not there to fuck spiders

Some of Bangladesh's shot selection has been very poor.

Yeah, I think they've definitely unearthed enough talent to be competitive, but they've got quite a long way to go on the mental side of things. The way they crumbled in the first test, and then allowed Kane etc to score at will to canter home was pretty poor.

Most disappointing is that their senior batsmen have been the ones most at fault.

[MN5]

Ravel goes and CDGH goes in as a nightwatchman. 1 from 1 so far which seems to defeat the purpose somewhat.

[mariner4life]

No, Colin is trying to win tonight

Yeah just saw that, in my defence I only have cricinfo to go off. Woulda thought Southee a better option?

Probably needs a rest after that mammoth bowling spell. Put him on ice for the CH series

[MN5]

Well that was essentially a 3 day spanking. Well done boys. Southee MOM?
