CWC Game #2 Black Caps vs Bangladesh

Happy with the win, would rather have to fight for it than cruise to another easy victory.
As Mokey said above, I think the Bang Bros are a good chance to beat one of the favourites in Australia, England or India.

That is a good win against a banana skin team. Bank it and move on.

Watched the part from after the non run-out of Kane until his brain-fart. He and Taylor were doing it so easily, Kane looked like he was just going to bat through and let the person at the other end be aggressive. And then that shot ... at least when he did that a couple of times in the NZ summer he knew he had to keep the scoring rate going ... but why even hit in the air at that time. Play strokes along the ground, eventually you'll get one through.

I liked the win. It was an awkward total to chase because I think if we were chasing 300+ we would’ve known it was a good pitch and played a little more freer.
It seems quite a few teams have an issue with their fifth bowling option.

What happened with the non run out? The commentators kept mentioning it
The keeper tried to take the ball in front of the stumps and drag it back on (which is a fairly new technique for effecting run-outs), but knocked the bails off before he had the ball.
To make matters worse it wasn't even close so there was no need to take it in front of the stumps, and also the ball was going to hit the stumps anyway so he didn't need to catch it at all.

In other news Matt Henry now has 85 ODI wickets at 24, with a 5.4 RPO. Those are seriously impressive numbers.
Boult has 150 ODI wickets at 24 with a 5 RPO, so not too dissimilar.
-
@No-Quarter no matter how rocks and diamonds he goes his stats are super impressive. His county record is also pretty bloody good, which was another factor in them being so keen on him for the WC.

Big question for me is if Nicholls and Southee can force their way into the team for the big matches.
Munro with an unbeaten 50 and 24 has done pretty well.
So have the quicker bowlers all things considered.
-
@MN5 Southee I hope not. He just doesn't offer what Henry and Ferg do. He's the back up if they go tits up.
Nicholls I hope so. Munro has great hand/eye but is the epitome of flat track bully. Nicholls is not world class but he's more reliable, less exposed to brain farts and we need someone else the stroke makers can play around.

For a pie chucker how good has he been in the first two games? Trent must be due, he hasn't taken many wickets so far

More likely to see Latham open and Blundell come in at 6 and take over the gloves.

Definite potential to be one of our best across the different formats though. His improvements have been remarkable.

Bangladesh used to be called East Pakistan.
Just saying.

sounds like the keeper should be called Brahad Shahaddin.

That's the option I'd prefer, because neither Nicholls nor Latham have any batting form to speak of, whereas Blundell has taken his opportunities vs Oz and Windies with open arms. I'm doubtful that we should play two guys in the top six with no runs under their belts.
Unfortunately, it's not looking likely.
But, definitely Nicholls over Munro vs Afghanistan. Colin has shown repeatedly against the top teams that he's not the answer and Nicholls needs a chance to find some form.

I think Henry is a flat track bully equivalent of a bowler. He has no chance of running through a decent batting line up. Southee has that ability and has proven it.
