Black Caps - Bangladesh tour 2021
-
Good catch by the fiz
-
Made it to the last over. Lasted 1 ball.
-
Man, watching Patel bowl I wish we had another spinner. We're in the game but still need 6 overs out of Bennett, Tickner and Cdg which is a scary thought.

Just saw a tweet claiming CdG’s batting average in his last nine T20I’s is 3.33.
Jesus…..

Was about to say T20 WC will be CDG’s swan song if he makes it that far, but of course he wasn’t selected for it in any case.
Been a legend, and may play a few more tests this season, but Father Time says Ciao Bella@sprinko said in Black Caps vs Bangladesh:

By your reckoning how many legends has NZC had - 200 - 300?

His mullet was sensational, and gets legendary status
Seriously, though, he was a key cog in our team for a few years. Did plenty, but not sure was a 'legend'.

I watched us bat, Young played really well, started a bit shaky but grew in confidence. Used the sweep shot really well to negate the spin.
The balls that got Latham and Nicholls turned a fucking mile, basically unplayable, though Latham probably should have stayed in his crease with the ball turning away. CdG is absolutely all at sea on a turning pitch which is not unexpected at all.
We really just needed one more of the top order to put on 30 odd and we would have had enough to win. It's actually a pretty interesting battle, and I don't mind the batsmen being made to work extra hard for their runs for once in a T20.

I felt like Allen was the most criminal. He looked really comfortable and holed out trying to repeat the reverse sweep he put into the stands. After stuffing up his second attempt he should have exercised a little more control.
Young looked terrible at the start but he battled his way into form, very impressive

Nah. Mea Culpa
Is a bonus though

Yeah, I don't actually mind these low scoring games. A totally different experience than we are used to but still entertaining.

Well he was an automatic pick in the test team ( where his numbers are still good, quite Stokes like in fact although he’s overrated ) but then again his competition for that All Rounder spot was Santner or Mitchell….both kinda uninspiring alternatives.
With who we have as cattle in the most important format of all it wouldn’t be fair on other teams if Paddles, Cainsy or Dan the Man played in this era.

Without actually checking, I'd suspect his numbers were much better in NZ than abroad. As for his place in the test team, he was very lucky to make the WTC finals team, IMHO Patel deserved it more; he can hold a bat and his bowling represents a point of difference from the seam attack, a genuine wicket taking spinner

.By a really long way. We've won test series abroad almost everywhere except aussie in the last few years in a variet of conditions, so someone can play abroad
