Southee always keen to get rid of a review early
That's not on Southee - he is always optimistic. The slips and keeper should have heard the bat on that and not reviewed.
Still a bit of shape out there... not sure it'll be there much in this test, so take it while you can!

Bangladesh won the toss and will bat. No Ravindra.
Is Nicholls playing? He will be under significant pressure to perform, with Ravindra ready and waiting
Yes he is more of a choice between Phillips and Ravindra for that allrounders spot.
IMO they should have selected Ravindra ahead of Phillips.
Nicholls on the back of 200 in his last test was always going to get picked. -

Nicholls for all the shit he gets still has 9 test centuries and a decent test record.
2. V Pakistain
2. V South Africa
2. V Sri Lanka
1 v England
1 V Bangladesh
1 V West Indiesnot one of these in these locations, all at home and one at a neutral venue

Still a good record compared to Fleming who took 111 tests for 9 Cent
Astle 81 tests for 11 centuries.
Nicholls 55 tests for 9 centuries.It is actually harder to score 100s in NZ on the seaming wkts than on some flat tracks overseas.

@Gunner said in Black Caps - Bangladesh tour:
Can only assume they went with Phillips over Ravindra as he offers an alternative spin bowling option to take it away from the left hand batsmen?
Same.
Not really a good enough reason, though, IMO. The bowling.
Although Phillips has earned a shot, so good for him. Actuallt,maybe it is down to 'banging on door for longer ', that is sonething the leadership values.
But I would have like Ravindra to continue popping while it's hot.

Bangladesh trying to play ODI cricket right now, glad we got the second wicket though

FYI for those not in NZ it is live on youtube

Even when you are not slogging shit still gets wkts,really it was a full toss on middle should have gone over the fence.

MIssed the end of the session as making pizza - who bowled well?
Jamieson bowled pretty well especially the length of time he has been out.
I would like to see him use his height a bit more.
Patel got a bit of turn apart from an over when Shanto got hold of a couple he looked threatening. -
@Bovidae said in Black Caps - Bangladesh tour:
As I mentioned previously Nicholls has a lot of low scores between centuries in recent seasons. The 200 runs is probably a similar number of runs combined since his last ton.
Yeah definitely a career prolonging ton that one. He’s definitely lucky Rossco retired when he did and freed up a spot as he wouldn’t get in otherwise IMO

On these pitches, not as effective, but his spell in the T20 against India was ridiculously good. If he gets some seam movment it's brutal - hopefully his body holds up!
