NZ v Bangladesh Test #1

[Siam]

Only saw highlights but that looked like some century from Iqbal. Would've been good to watch

If Jeet Raval can't manage a test ton in this series then he'll never get one.

Jinx alert, but he looked really solid

This time it was Latham who tried to gift his wicket late in the day. Fortunately for him the Bangles couldn't take the catch

[African Monkey]

@MN5 Yup, as long as he sees off the new ball I couldn't care less if ever scored a test century or not.

@Cyclops said in NZ v Bangledesh Test #1:

Yeah, if he doesn't he'll probably be the best ever test opener to not score a ton.

and he's currently 38th on the Test batting rankings. Not bad!

a ton would be the icing on the cake

@nzzp 4 batsmen in the top 20 and 3 bowlers in the top 15!!!!

I actually think the individual rankings are largely a crock but even so- it does support the argument that this is a golden age for us.

Taylor at 19 though........

[MN5]

Latham only 12 away from 3000 test runs.

Raval only 49 away from a maiden ton, 47 away from 1000 year runs.

carn the lads!!! big partnership here !!!!

[MN5]

3000 up for Latham

[MN5]

I'll just continue talking to myself....

last 10 overs have gone for 50. The boys sure aren't there to fuck spiders and they're looking good....

...according to the match tracker at least.

[Magpie_in_aus]

"Taking Tamim out of the picture, it seems hard to believe Bangladesh only managed 108/9 on this wicket, it just looks so easy out there."

[MajorPom]

Got outta bed to watch this.

Seen 4 overs so far ... 1 scoring shot.

[MajorPom]

Zero chance Raval will get 100. Nervous 90s will
Claim. I’m going back to bed

There's his 'best test opener never to get a ton' USP gone...

tick, tick and tick....

this is my greatest fern prediction since the Tua/Cameron fight in 09. I'll predict something else in 2029.

@MN5 would have been a go-to question in pub sports quizzes aye!!

But well done Jeet, really stoked he's got past that hurdle.

Found this - Jeets would have been top 10 if he'd kept it up

Edit: OK, top 10 if his stats went to ODI. Top 20 for tests ...

[MN5]

both openers get tons.

when was the last time this happened ?

back when Glenn Turner and that other bloke got a massive partnership in the 70s?
