Black Caps v Bangladesh 2021

Conway keeping?

Yes, so we have found our backup keeper for the WC and maybe even our top keeper as I think we have many better batting options than Seifert.

Nice to see Chapman getting another bowl, hope we start to use him more often.

We loves Ish.

Ish is T20 Wags.

This

[Gunner]

@booboo he just can’t stop taking wickets.

This is a rout now at 59/5

[LABCAT]

On a hatrick!!!

[Gunner]

Bloody Nora, 59/6.
Ish now on a hat trick. You wouldn’t bet against it at the moment either.

[Gunner]

Tim feeling charitable and bowling all the part timers, letting the Bangles get to a respectable total.

[Gunner]

Guppy takes an absolute rippa of a catch, running and diving as the ball come from over his shoulder.

[MN5]

Conway looks ok doesn’t he ?

Aside from that BAU. Nothing to see here

[Damo]

Bangles win the toss and put us in. Let's hope Finn Allen survives a bit longer tonight.

[Donsteppa]

Finn Allen finally succeeds in slogging his wicket away for 17.

[Donsteppa]

And Conway survives a lazy run.

Conway is the new Ross Taylor

Very entertaining - batting like they've decided 220 is a par score.

... and planning on self destructing on the way...

Taking the field with Conway wicket keeping is not a good strategy. He's not got the technique or finesse. I was sure that Phillips kept for a couple of CPL seasons - not sure why he doesn't do it because Conway looked like a real part timer.

Think the rain will scupper my commentators curse though.

Bangles putting in their usual pea hearted performance. I know the limitations of the Italy of world cricket but for decades I've watched these guys phone it in in NZ. Then they're a different team at home. I think they only try when they've got local fans to answer directly to. Tours are for bank, home is for avoiding effigies.

Dumb rain. Happy farmers, but bad timing.

To paraphrase Jeff Thomson ( I think ) the BCs could turn up pissed and beat these guys. Complete waste of time

To be clear though, I do appreciate them coming, now and the future - any cricket is better than none. There's a part of me that wants the bangles to do well, but after 21 years with the big boys, it's all very Italian Rugby
