Black Caps v Bangladesh

@Rapido Milne played a T20 game a few days ago.

He should be broken by Monday then.

We won the toss and are bowling.

Clearly the right move game-wise, but I kinda wish we had batted first. We won't learn much if we roll Bangladesh for not much and chase it easily.

Yip. I doubt we are going to learn much from this series.

What's with Rosscoe's hands?

[Kruse]

Fuck I love it when insomnia leads me to checking the cricket score, and seeing an immediate wicket, and the BCs storming through a line-up something like 93/5.
Sleep - over-rated... let's open a bottle of wine.

Just came back from a stroll and saw a replay of him dropping a couple of relative dollies.

Very unlike him.

We could be chasing 260 odd here.

[Damo]

Bangers are doing OK now. Good on them. I hope they set us a big total and we have to play well to chase it down.

Thre's been too many one sided ODI's this year. Has there been a close one yet?

We might be chasing 300 odd. They're 168/5 with 16 overs to go and going along pretty easily. 8 an over gets them to 296.

Just noticed that if Henry can take two wickets a match for the next 11 games he'll be the fastest ever NZ bowler to 100 ODI wickets (a match or two ahead of Bond).

[Mokey]

How many fucking catches have we dropped today. ARGH.

The problem for Henry is that him playing 11 games for the Black Caps might take him 2 or 3 years.

He's definitely first choice now.

4 years too late in my opinion. I hope you are right.

The Bang Bros all out for 226.

[Godder]

227 to win, should be straightforward, but cricket is a funny old game at times!

[Godder]

Guptill has another ODI 50 and NZ 126/1 and looking very good right now.

[Crazy Horse]

I get annoyed when batters, and Guptill just did it now, get talked up and praised for hitting a six over boundary fielders. It is a high risk shot that is only a slight miss hit away from being a stupid way to get out.

[Damo]

Guptill gets on amazing runs of form sometimes. I hope he gets on one during the CWC. If he does we'll do well.

[Sneakdefreak]

BCs win by 8 wickets with 83 balls to spare. Guptill gets another century scoring 118.
