Bangladesh tour of NZ

[Gunner]

A late start and a 46 over game to kick things off.

Absolute horror start for the BC’s

5/2 after one over.

Ravindra and walking wicket Nicholls back in the shed, both 2 ball ducks.

Dunedin weather is rubbish to start summer, kinda like the rest of the country About to get a start, but advantage NZ: 16 degrees, overcast wiht stiff southerlies is as alien to the Bangles as you'll get in Summer

[Bovidae]

Not a good start for the left-handed batsmen.

[Duluth]

A bit of a recovery (63/2 in the 14th) but now more rain

[Cyclops]

One of the underrated impacts of rain is messing with your bowling allocations. We're down to 30 overs now,so max 6 per bowler, which means their opening bowlers have one over left between them and Mustafizur (who I think is another of their death options) also only has one over left. Could be some carnage here.

[LABCAT]

While Chapman is doing fantastically, it would have been nice if they promoted Clarkson to give him a shot to show what he's got in his first game.

[Gunner]

Some great batting from Latham and Young.

That suicidal running with 4 run outs in the last two overs is just plain stupidity.

Surely wickets in hand have a bearing on how many extra runs we get from Mr Duckworth & Lewis?

I don't think so once it's the end of scheduled overs - it's only overs that unexpectedly disappear that affect it.

Great stuff Will Young. Classy player.

With him in form (different format I know ) the pressure on Nicholls will ramp up even more.

I really hope he can ditch the “Black Cap batsman from the late 90s early 2000s” test record too.

[Bovidae]

14 off O'Rourke's first over. Welcome to international cricket.

[MN5]

Good to win the inaugural T30 international.

Well done BCs. Always good to dominate a lowly team to start the season !

[Bovidae]

The catch of the season already for Young.

That's what they probably thought about us a month ago....

[Duluth]

Oh, the 2nd ODI is on

Bangles 194/5 after 40

[Chris B.]

Soumya makes 169 and Bangladesh are going to have a competitive score.

However, they were in some trouble at 80/4 and shortly after Rachin dropped Soumya before he'd made 50 - one he should really have caught. Milne had a chance that he couldn't get to - and Young dropped him as well.

That's how you convert a straightforward win into a tricky chase.

[Chris B.]

O'Rourke picks up 3 wickets in the 50th ovr to bowl them out with a ball to spare.

We will need 292.

[KiwiMurph]

Bit worrying that Young struggles to rotate strike. Need to be picking up singles.

[Donsteppa]

Young doing a great job of taking the shine off the new ball in the first session...

[Yeahtheboys]

Why is Finn allen not playing? He's very in-form, he's in the squad. Yet we play NICHOLLS in a billateral series against bangla fucken desh....

I know Finn Allen has not been amazing in black colours but his talent and potential is undeniable. What do we gain from playing Nicholls in this series over Finn Allen?

[Bones]

Hard to believe Ravindra only debuted this year. Brilliant to watch.
