It will be a different game in CHCH,
Expect a green top.Bangladesh batts we’rec c won’t cope well .We won't even prepare a pitch for Christchurch. Just put some wickets down 22 yards apart in the outfield and roll it a couple of times.
Typical of the garden city, green, green grass all round.

We have a wicket keeper who has allegedly averaged 17 since the 2019 MCG test batting in our top six. I'm not ecstatic about the idea of a green top at Hagley...
Shouldn’t be there,
Green top win the toss blow them over for a low score bat once and finish the game off in Day 5,
Perfect scenario ,We are not going to bowl the out cheaply on a flat track or a dead slow pitch. -

First Test loss to Bangladesh incoming. And if it goes that way it will be thoroughly and completely deserved by both teams.
Is that worse than Fozzie losing to the Argies?
We are the world champions getting embarrassed on our home turf!

He's also not much of a keeper

Worse IMO.
Bangladesh completely written off, 1v9 in the world, which I’d say is equivalent to 1v18 in rugby terms.
I said it before, I think it’s the top 2 inches, we came into this game expecting things to just go to script, without earning it.
I expect a HUGE improvement in Christchurch, if not, then sure, it could be time to sharpen a couple of knives.

Can't say i've been impressed by the Black Caps demeanour in this test either - when things aren't going their way getting mouthy and now stalling for time with constant glove changes etc - get on with the fucking game
Well said. The attitude has felt a bit like the Black Caps world championship homecoming procession and Rosco farewell tour is being rudely interrupted by another team who just wants to play cricket well against them…

Free entry at Bay Oval tomorrow. Might be quite a few Bangladeshi fans starting to think about travel from around the upper North Island with history potentially beckoning for their overseas record.
They'll be looking for flights from Dhaka!

@nta we don't all get the luxury of playing England.
Good point.
You also don't have the luxury of Kane Williamson right now.

Might be a few try to bypass quarantine and land at Mount Maunganui Airport tomorrow morning

Yeah, him and Watling would make me feel much more secure. Not sure Latham is much of a leader. Our depth is certainly being exposed.
