NZ v Bangladesh Test #1

That is the Rig cramp game too I believe.
The bowing attack looks decimated by the scorecard. If you picked a composite team I could see it being a 6/5 split between the sides depending on the criteria. Depends if we are going career peak vs their performance at the time.
2003 Tuffey was better than 2019 Southee as an example.

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?
Vincent and Richardson in the early 2000s
geez that's certainly a case of lightning striking twice
And then Styris came out at three to also score a ton and Craig McMillan added one at 5 or 6. Between them scored 18 career centuries.
it's funny. You look at team and it was pretty solid but which of those guys would make a combined XI with today's team ?
Vettori ahead of Astle....Rigor would probably get in ahead of Raval.
no others though.
I would take Fleming too - as a replacement for Nichols. Fleming would be sweet at 5 in the current team.

I tend to look overall vs various peaks and troughs. I mean the rose tinted glasses remember McMillan and Astle busting out some wonderful performances ( I saw Astles 222 ball by ball while hungover on the couch still drinking, outstanding stuff )
....but neither makes my team....
Fleming instead of CDGH is a massive temptation but only if Williamson share quite a bit of spin with Vettori.

Fuck this is one sided. We've always been better than the Bangles but gezz there's a lot of daylight between the two sides now. Good to see the lads padding their averages.

@Donsteppa but in the most polite way possible. Only Wags really gets the red rag going, and even then he's more fired up at himself than giving anyone a serve

Rig and Bell did it against Pakistan in an early 00's test where we flogged them too. Before that Turner/Jarvis as MN5 says.
It's come up a few times on the Sky commentary over the past few years as the openers have gotten close on a few occasions.
Yeah, was looking at previous 200+ opening partnerships and Twose/Spearman managed 214 but Twose only got 94. (the other 4 both openers got to 100, and in the Bell/Rigor game we didn't manage 200).

Don't think wags was a nightwatchman. Just moving him up the order. Killing it

Watling coming out indicates that we're still a long way away from declaring. I probably would have sent Colin in to hope for another Wagneresque innings. Lead is already close to 300.
We should give ourselves plenty of time to get them out. A day and a half should do it. Or even put them in for an hour tonight
