Black Caps vs Bangles
-
Absolutely coasting home, very poor from Bangladesh.
Credit to the way we've held our nerve following their mammoth first innings total, but in fairness the Bangles have imploded here.
-
We are running at 6 an over here, which is hugely disappointing from Bangladesh. If the pitch is that benign, then there is no way the Bangles should have dismissed for what they were.
Still time Tigers, still time ...

Pretty amazing win really, especially when the opposition scores 595 up first. This game was a great example of the joys of Test cricket... and also why I have little time for the arguments of those wanting four day test matches.
Well done to Latham and WIlliamson with the bat.

That's an astounding win. We were owned for large portions of the game, and here we are with what looks a comfortable 7-wicket win.
Nicholls did something right!
That's some innings from Kane. Sad then that in a couple of years we will be discarding it in our "record against everybody who isn't Bangladesh and Zimbabwe" comparisons.
Who the fuck do you give MoTM to?

Wagner for his 6 wickets?

Biggest first innings score to concede then go on to win.

I wouldn't worry Bangladesh is on the improve and will be regarded as well as we and Sri lanka are in a few years time.

Yeah, that seems pretty dumb. Latham had a great knock but regardless of the outcome of the match, he was still only the second best batsman in the match. To me the top three contenders would've been Al Hasan for Bangladesh's first double hundred, Williamson for both his century and captaincy and Wagner for his 6 wickets.

Wow, what a great come from behind win. Excellent knock from Kane to seal it, after a decent bowling effort.
Don't agree with Latham as MOTM though. Double centurion from Bangladesh should have got it.
I dunno. Getting a duck when his team needed him puts a dampener on things a bit in my opinion.
-
Latham as man of the match makes sense to me. He was at the heart of our first innings that brought us level. If he gets a small hundred then the whole complexion of the match changes.
The thing that irks me about motm awards is that they can never decide between giving it to the single standout performer (which for me is Shakib) and the player that had the biggest impact on the match (Tommy but I think there are arguments for Shakib and Kane too)
