Whatever the result, I would drop Jamieson for Henry, and Southee for Patel for the second test.
Before the usual Southee suspects get all wound up; if you can be left out of a team after taking ten wickets, you certainly can be left out of a team after bowling over after over of military medium right arm mince and cheese. Ditto Jamieson.
No way. I don’t want Henry and his pie shop anywhere near the Black Caps.
I've spent far too much time baking in the sun over the last few days alongside Southee's pies to be anything other than militant about now...
Well since we’re at it Latham better go and Jeet Raval better make himself available.
The team has had a mare. The only guys to come away with any credit are Conway and Wags
Young has made two 50's.
Taylor and Ravindra could yet come out with some credit.
I'm hoping for something Greatbatch and Sneddon-esque... just not sure about Ross's running...

No need for any changes next test, we have a world class team, we have underperformed on a very flat deck against a well prepared and determined Bangladesh side. This probably shows how much we miss Kane's captaincy more than anything, he sets extremely high standards. I'd say just a glance from him is all that is needed to let you know you need to lift your game. It also exposes Stead who has had 4 days to get his world class performers to pull finger.

It will be a different game in CHCH,
Expect a green top.Bangladesh batts we’rec c won’t cope well .We won't even prepare a pitch for Christchurch. Just put some wickets down 22 yards apart in the outfield and roll it a couple of times.

It will be as Green as Kermit’s legs.

Typical of the garden city, green, green grass all round.

We have a wicket keeper who has allegedly averaged 17 since the 2019 MCG test batting in our top six. I'm not ecstatic about the idea of a green top at Hagley...
Shouldn’t be there,
Green top win the toss blow them over for a low score bat once and finish the game off in Day 5,
Perfect scenario ,We are not going to bowl the out cheaply on a flat track or a dead slow pitch. -

First Test loss to Bangladesh incoming. And if it goes that way it will be thoroughly and completely deserved by both teams.
Is that worse than Fozzie losing to the Argies?
We are the world champions getting embarrassed on our home turf!

He's also not much of a keeper

Worse IMO.
Bangladesh completely written off, 1v9 in the world, which I’d say is equivalent to 1v18 in rugby terms.
I said it before, I think it’s the top 2 inches, we came into this game expecting things to just go to script, without earning it.
I expect a HUGE improvement in Christchurch, if not, then sure, it could be time to sharpen a couple of knives.

Can't say i've been impressed by the Black Caps demeanour in this test either - when things aren't going their way getting mouthy and now stalling for time with constant glove changes etc - get on with the fucking game
Well said. The attitude has felt a bit like the Black Caps world championship homecoming procession and Rosco farewell tour is being rudely interrupted by another team who just wants to play cricket well against them…

Free entry at Bay Oval tomorrow. Might be quite a few Bangladeshi fans starting to think about travel from around the upper North Island with history potentially beckoning for their overseas record.
They'll be looking for flights from Dhaka!

@nta we don't all get the luxury of playing England.
Good point.
You also don't have the luxury of Kane Williamson right now.
