    If the Banglas win this due to a noball, I propose NZ lose the mace.

    Lot of talk about bowlers but batting lineup is the issue - as it was in India. Looking particularly at Taylor, Nicholls, Blundell and Ravindra. Would like to see their combined a averages across the India series and this test match?

    Well, the sentimentality around 'giving Rossco a farewell tour' is possibly backfiring a bit now. The runs that Taylor and Nicholls have scored also haven't been chanceless.

    Blundell should be the most under the microscope though. Also Luke Ronchi.

    I don’t remember Nicholls giving a chance in that 75 ?.
    Or did I miss something.

    To be fair, that was one of his more consistent efforts. My sun fried brain is possibly conflating innings plus the Indian tests.

    An 8 wicket loss to the Bangles, you couldn’t script it but that is what we love about sport. It’s unpredictable, the against all odds can actually happen, underdogs do get up from time to time.

    There will be massive questions asked about our prep, selections, captaincy and individual performances. And so there should be, but I tip my potae to the Bangles and the way they went about it. Their application and energy seemed a cut above any of their recent performances and more importantly in this match above ours.

    Congrats.

    Well done Bangladesh. Dogged, disciplined, and determined. Only their 6th away win apparently:

    Don't hold out huge hopes for a backlash at Hagley Oval The Craps look like a bunch of disinterested 3rd XI park cricketers.

    What an absolute disgrace of a performance.

    Conway and Young the only positives IMO.

    Senior players need to hang their heads in shame, they’ve let the team down in a huge way!

    This really is a disappointing result and it had to happen at sometime given the age of our bowlers and some batters.

    Still suuuucks that the drop off the cliff is so rapid.

    Funny that after the first test in India, I was hopeful and maybe expectant of our first series win over there.......

    Bangladesh should swap with England, so there are some games that aren't one sided walkovers

    @hooroo We are starting to resemble English Rugby 2004 😞

    Congrats to the Bangladeshi team. Hate it when losers focus just on their own deficiencies. Bangles outplayed us in every facet of the game Full credit etc

    Need to turn this around quickly or could be a loooong summer of cricket...

    There were a combination of factors which caused us to lose that game.

    One of them was the pitch and the weather conditions. In hindsight, that was a crucial toss to win. I think had we won the toss and bowled we could have got into their top order on the first day. Bangladesh won the toss and, although they could not exploit the conditions themselves, they stopped us from doing so. The hot weather baked and flattened out the pitch. Maybe batting last could have been difficult on that pitch but we didn't have the bowlers or the runs of the board to do it.

    We also weren't properly prepared. Most of our team had not played test cricket since the Indian series. With COVID there is not much that can be done about that. I would say that this match does show the importance of making sure our test players are available for a few games of first class cricket early in the season.

    There are plenty of negatives we could point out in terms of the performances. Of course, many people are looking for someone to blame. The truth is you can't blame how the team was selected.

    Boult and Southee are two of our best bowlers ever, we know what Wagner brings and Jamieson's record speaks for itself. Given that we are going with four bowlers, we need a spin bowling all rounder in there. Santner and Sodhi have been tried and failed so it is clear why they went with Ravindra.

    As for the batting, our whole team has great records. People think Nicholls is lucky to be there or should be dropped. However, his average is better than Fleming's. Although our team has shown a good uptick in results, I think people are deluded if they think we have domestic batsmen who can slot in and average 40 plus. Mitchell has a good record but it remains to be seen if he can retain that after playing more tests. The game did show how much we miss Williamson. If he had played, I doubt we would have lost.

    The only thing I will add is that it is disappointing how quickly we collapsed. We didn't get to see a lot of fight today.

    The other reason we lost is because Bangladesh were incredible! At numerous times you expected them to fold with the bat but it didn't happen. Their bowlers were really disciplined, even when they did not look dangerous. Let's not forget Bangladesh are missing Shakib and Tamin Iqbal.

    Good performance Bangladesh, poor performance by NZ, but that in part is because of their good performance.

    Transitional time now for the batting line up, Kane back for Ross's retirement is essentially our batting line up for the next 5 years, so it might take a year of bedding in.

    Next stop, the Hagley GreenOval at which Southee and Boult will suddenly perform and we will salvage the series with an innings win.

    @hydro11 when did Bangladesh last play test match cricket? I'm not sure we have a comparable excuse?

    Was thinking last evening that they need the rugby equivalent of hitting the tackle bags and a huge session on the scrum machine.
