@MN5 said in NZ v Bangledesh Test #1:
Latham only 12 away from 3000 test runs.
Raval only 49 away from a maiden ton, 47 away from 1000 year runs.
carn the lads!!! big partnership here !!!!
tick, tick and tick....
this is my greatest fern prediction since the Tua/Cameron fight in 09. I'll predict something else in 2029.

@MN5 would have been a go-to question in pub sports quizzes aye!!
But well done Jeet, really stoked he's got past that hurdle.

Found this - Jeets would have been top 10 if he'd kept it up
Edit: OK, top 10 if his stats went to ODI. Top 20 for tests ...
They did all right without hundreds
Misbah-ul-Haq and Angelo Mathews have among the best averages for batsmen without a century

both openers get tons.
when was the last time this happened ?
back when Glenn Turner and that other bloke got a massive partnership in the 70s?
Vincent and Richardson in the early 2000s
geez that's certainly a case of lightning striking twice

And then Styris came out at three to also score a ton and Craig McMillan added one at 5 or 6. Between them scored 18 career centuries.

it's funny. You look at team and it was pretty solid but which of those guys would make a combined XI with today's team ?
Vettori ahead of Astle....Rigor would probably get in ahead of Raval.
no others though.

It was in that odd period where Robbie Hart was our number one test keeper, just after Parore retired. I can't remember who followed him but I feel like we were unsettled for a while until Baz took over.

Poor innings from Taylor, never looked like he was going to contribute alot.
-
That is the Rig cramp game too I believe.
The bowing attack looks decimated by the scorecard. If you picked a composite team I could see it being a 6/5 split between the sides depending on the criteria. Depends if we are going career peak vs their performance at the time.
2003 Tuffey was better than 2019 Southee as an example.

I would take Fleming too - as a replacement for Nichols. Fleming would be sweet at 5 in the current team.

400 up
Nicholls looking very good

I tend to look overall vs various peaks and troughs. I mean the rose tinted glasses remember McMillan and Astle busting out some wonderful performances ( I saw Astles 222 ball by ball while hungover on the couch still drinking, outstanding stuff )
....but neither makes my team....
Fleming instead of CDGH is a massive temptation but only if Williamson share quite a bit of spin with Vettori.

Fuck this is one sided. We've always been better than the Bangles but gezz there's a lot of daylight between the two sides now. Good to see the lads padding their averages.
