New Zealand v Bangladesh Test #2

Didn't want a not out anyways pfffft

As long as we dont repeat our shitty bowling start from the first innings we've got a really good sniff. 2-3 wickets would deflate the bangers, but an undefeated stand through to the end of the day would put some pressure on us. Hmm have they actually batted a full day across any innings so far?

With this innings it takes us up to 1147/12 from two innings.
2 x 200s
3 x 100sFuck me days, that's extraordinary !
So pleasing to see our entire top order cashing in with at least one big score each ( bar Watling, fuck, drop the useless prick. Surely Smithy can trim down and make a comeback ? )
Whilst Bangladesh are admittedly a bit shit in a lot of areas that's still some serious fap material for BC fans.

Just a shame it’s only a 3 test series.
Another 3 tests would have been mint -

We need our seamers to rest up well, just one of them needs to fire the fuck up and do the damage early.
WInning this in three days is possible and would still be a monumental achievement.

@hydro11 India, SL and Pakistan produce quick bowlers on the same type of pitches.
They're no longer new to international cricket and surely have enough resources to coach international tail enders to be at least as good with the bat as 3rd grade club cricketers.
Apparently they don’t like to practice batting and even when they do it’s probably against a flotilla of spinners given the lack of pace bowling resources they seem to have. Bit of a viscous circle. What they should do if they do manage to identify some pace bowling talent at an age grade level is send them here, Australia, SA or England to gain some experience on livelier pitches and in the nets.

So Kane is out for 1-2 weeks and therefore will miss the third test. I think Will Young’s name was mentioned in the media as a possible replacement. Not sure where he bats domestically but they should use this opportunity to try Nicholls at first drop and give Young the less pressurised introduction of coming in at five. It’s very much how Australia used to do it when they dominated and had a settled top order with the likes of Ponting, Martyn and Blewett all getting early opportunities at five or six.
In a year or two (hopefully the latter) we'll need to promote Nicholls to four and then Young could resume at five.

Young bats at three for Central. But agree that he should come in at 5.

Nice conversation to have, I think I remember being on here years ago during Flemings stint at three and saying he may as well open given he was often out there early anyway....so good we've moved on from this talk our openers efforts in this test notwithstanding......
Nicholls at four is obvious. His achievements have astounded me if I'm completely honest. CDGH does enough to keep himself in the side so not being a massive follower of the domestic game I'm unsure who the next cab off the rank is. Good reading posts from others about who is in with a shot.
