Hard to believe Ravindra only debuted this year. Brilliant to watch.
I’m assuming you posted this while stuck in roadworks.
Stuck in our room watching the cricket next to the open ranch doors with a kingfisher and burger rings looking out over the pool and beach. Really regretting the trip.

Young sure loves scoring against the minnows
Most of his runs have come v Bangladesh and Netherlands mostly at home. -

Great chase. Everyone contributed, good to see.
Young and Nicholls possibly not helping their flat track bully reputations though

What do we gain from playing Nicholls in this series over Finn Allen?
30 something off 20 balls is great in T20 but not so much in ODI I would guess is the thinking on our gain. His strike rate is actually below 100 and av of 27 in ODI (0 hundreds and 5 fifties). He's had a fair go too with 21 innings.
The chances of FA getting 95 at a run a ball yesterday would have been quite slim whereas Nicholls record at home is very good, as has been well documented on here. His failings abroad equally so.
Would have been one of the easier selections I reckon.

You nailed it.

You could argue that about anyone not named Don Bradman ( and I’m not sure what is strike rate was )
I remember catching an interview on the wireless with Ross Taylor about the mental side of playing a sport where, let’s be honest, you fail more than you succeed, in his case for every massive score there’s a few shit ones to get the average in the mid 40s.
But yeah, back to Nicholls he’s at home and Bangladesh aren’t really the best travellers. His position is reasonably safe one would think.

Ha. Take whole sentence. It was a comparison with Nicholls chances of doing the same, which were less slim based on historical performance.
Read with the usual financial advice caveat about past performance and guarantee of future performance.
Bradman had a shit ODI strike rate by the way.*
*it could also be infinite but I went with shit.

Terrible ODI record and didn’t score in the subcontinent. Give me Tendulkar or Kohli any day

At least that's branching out from the typical kiwi butter chicken.

Anyone else trying to find a streaming option to watch these matches from UK?

3rd ODI. Bangladesh choose to bowl
NZ picked the same XI as last time
-
NZ youth. Thou shall not get a go even in a dead rubber at home.
Says, the 32 year old core group enabled by their token coach.

Apart from Milne, the bowlers have less than 10 caps between them. Maybe they could have played Allen over Nicholls but apart from that seems a good mix of experience and fresh players

I watched the Stags V Braves yesterday and holy shit the standard was poor. The Stag's openers made Southee look unplayable, and let's face it, Southee's best days are probably behind him. My impressions from yesterday are not inconsistent with my impressions from other games I have watched the last couple of years.
So I guess my point is, it's all very well calling for youth, but I am not sure there is much youth going around that is good enough.

I went to basin on Thursday and Robinson (21 yrs) played a stunning innings. I've seen him play the last few seasons and he hadn't made much of an impression until this week, hopefully this is the start of a great career

Yeah. I think Sears is a bit lucky to be there tbh, not been that sharp this season. But at least he's uninjured. Hopefully that is not related.
More the Allen omission. I don't care he got dropped, he deserved it. But if he's in the 13 man squad then give him a go in the dead rubber, see what he's doing. Especially as he's barely ever played in home conditions yet.
It would involve moving another young players down, though (Ravindra), so not at zero cost.
But with similar role players in Nicholls,, Latham, Blundell at 3, 4, 5. Can afford to lose 1 for the riskier Allen.

He (Robinson), rather like Katene Clarke at ND, and Finn Allen. Batsmen who have a million shots but not much of an idea how to construct innings . Needs to be their day.
Obviously, they have roles team wanrs them to play in modern cricket, and are not selfish about their t. So, not a 100% criticism. But at this stage they're not 3 format batsmen even at provincial level (if their teams are full strength). Interesting to see if /how they adapt, or if they're interested in that.

Only following on cricinfo, is this a terrible batting wicket or are we batting terribly?

@Gunner said in Bangladesh tour of NZ:

There's a bit of movement so not easy to bat on.
-

Wicket is a bit spicy.
There are some grassy streaks. Lateral movement.
Bangladesh bowling well. -
The Latham and Chapman dismissals were a bit 'lazy' though, or 'loose'. From a test batting technique perspective.
-
In the last match. We were cruising to win and lost a wicket with about 20 or 30 to go. Teams with better leadership, rather than one controlled by a 32 year old cartel jealous of their positions, would have elevated Clarkson then for a potentially easy dig to feel his feet.
Instead, it's 60-5, next match and Clarkson will have his first 'proper' bat under big pressure.
-
Glad I’m not watching.
Why the hell have Napier dished up a pitch like this for an ODI? I’d be pissed if I was paying money to go watch this.
-
I'd like this pitch if I had faith it would stay like this all day.
But I assume it dries out later into a modern big-bat 10-an-over snore fest
-
Just realized the long tail, tail starts at 9.
Although Ashok may one day make an OK 9, is only a 10 at this stage
-
Bugger. Aren't going to get enough to make watching our young bowlers later on interesting.
-
Even Bangladesh fielding has been top notch.
-
I've turned on the TV to watch. Live on Duke for those that can't be bothered streaming it.
This game won't go long enough for the sun to be a problem this afternoon.
-
Very bad batting performance, a bit of arrogance in some of those dismissals,No respect to the bowlers who were hitting good line and length sometimes you have to dig in and fight
not play big expansive shots to balls that are not in the slot, you can't drive on the up when its not there to hit.. -
A bit like the UAE result, NZC are still arrogant and foolish enough to think that we can play in parts a 3rd XI, while watching Southee, Santner and co playing Super Smash last night.
-
Looking back at our top six, that's one of the better rookie/flat track bully mixes that Bangladesh could have hoped to face.

I’ve said it before, but it annoys me that we very rarely play our top XI in ODI’s or T20’s outside of world cups
-
@Donsteppa No ND players in the team today. Clearly, that's the problem.
