Black Caps vs Bangles

Right in the back of the head, not the greatest evasion technique but I really hope he's ok. Was good to see him conscious and moving before they took him to hospital.

TBH we don't deserve to win this match with the amount of catches we've put down.

I see live we are favourites to win this - I can't buy that one, surely the draw is the most likely. Bangladesh are effectively 7 down (apparently the injured opener will bat), they are 193 ahead with 66 overs minimum .. take 2 off for change, and then you are 64 overs. So required is currently about 3. Every over, every run now drastically reduces NZ chances. If the Bangles make 15 more runs and take 5 overs to do it .. which is about the best possible outcome for NZ, then we are looking at 208 from 59 on the 5th day of a basin test.
This match as draw written all over it.

2 established batsman in now ... one who can't walk! Let the blockathon commence ...
Is what I had written before Kayes smashed the 4.
152/8 ... leading by 208 with 61 overs left. Effectively one wicket left too - I can see why we're favourites!

@nzzp 2 wickets in 3 overs since I wrote that ... we are now at 1.3 to win.
Bangles are 18. Thats' almost worth a cheeky punt that one - it's like the betting houses have never seen NZ play cricket.
Surely even we can't lose this game from here. Surely.

Latham flicks the first ball for 4. I would almost feel sorry for the Bangles if they were to lose this one.
Edit - cancel that, it went for 3. Cricinfo guy has had a bit of a mere this match.
-
Latham is wasting this powerplay

Don't be daft! McCullum will come in and clean up the remaining runs! Just you watch

I miss McCullum. I'm reading his book Declared at the moment, pretty good read. He certainly comes from a humble beginning.

Same! I love that he is at the Heat though over at the big bash. Seems to be well liked too and is captaining up a storm
