Black Caps - Bangladesh tour 2021
-
Finn Allen is probably happy being isolated right now.
-
Once again no Ross Taylor in the T20 squad. Meanwhile the fringe players and newbies have all but struggled with which end of the bat to hold...
-
That's a really weak team we've put out there, little wonder we are struggling. They are pretty tough to beat in the shorter forms in their own conditions.

A grim looking squad. Short of Finn Allen making a miraculously fast recovery, or swapping in Scott Kuggeleijin for one of the tail, there's no other batting depth to bring in. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-in-bangladesh-2021-1272089/new-zealand-t20i-squad-1272732/series-squads

They need at least 9 more runs:

Comprehensively smashed, Bangles 62/3.
Regardless of team, this really is one of our most embarrassing results ever. That team is the Black Caps, not Black Caps A.

Not sure that's the case after Australia's specialists got absolutely smoked by them. They are really really good in home conditions, very hard to beat.
If we were serious about this (and I don't think we were), a few weeks of warmup would be needed to really get to grips with their pitches. But we're not, it's a cash grab, like most T20.
Still embarrassing, but not our most embarrassing

Its embarrassing all right but also the nature of touring bangledesh at the moment. They made a mess of Aus 4-1, are match hardened and playing at home on some pretty shonky pitches. And then we send a B team over in disguise and call them the Black Caps.
We are probably lucky its not shown on sky here

Hmmmmm as if to completely contradict my earlier post I looked closer and I see Blundell, Young, Latham and Nicholls were all playing ? That’s not ideal given they’re all established ( or soon to now that Watling has gone ) Black Caps.

None of them are in the T20 world cup team are they? Don't get me wrong, some of them should have put up more of a fight, and they'll get there chance with all games in the series apparently at the same venue...

The mystery of Doug Bracewells selection rears its head too……
