*Official* Bangladesh Tour of New Zealand

[Chewie]

Forecast currently says no rain until 10pm

 

[_Ed_]

Arrived at Eden Park - still some purple clouds around, and the covers are on, but it's looking a bit better than it was.

 

[_Ed_]

Scratch that - now it's pissing down.

 

[_Ed_]

Women's game a complete write-off, and it's still raining as heavily as at any time I've been here this afternoon. Not looking promising.

Stephenson, Elliot and Taylor all wearing cheese cutter caps now too.

The best thing about the rain is seeing Grant chat up with Devon. Both legends in their own ways. Super good guys and amazing how they've embraced NZ. No airs about both of them. Top quality human beings.

 

[nzfan]

Is it going to be a 5 over game? Super stoked for Finn Allen if it is

 

[nzfan]

It's a 10 over game... It's Conway going to bat at no. 7 hope not

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Good to see Rubel get a go.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Good to see Rubel get a go.

said every batsman, ever

 

[nzfan]

All right.. Here starts the carnage. Just walking on to eden park as a bowler is daunting.

 

[nzfan]

Loving what Finn and Guppy are doing here but that's pathetic from Bangladesh. I know it's raining a bit but for an international cricket side it's way below level to drop sitters.

 

[Apex Predator]

This is carnage lol Bangladesh

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Yeah he's had some luck, but you'll get it when you hit them that high. Well done Allen, great 50!

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Even Nicholls would be proud of getting dropped this often.

 

[nzfan]

Equals second fastest fifty? Reasonable knock. **** from Bangladesh but anytime a kiwi gets some runs it's always fun.

 

[nzfan]

Why don't Bangladesh catch it even on a short ground liked this? Finn will be buying a lotto tonight that's for sure.

 

[nzfan]

I know it's like 4 dropped catches but it's still quite fun to watch someone just try to whack then leather out of the ball every ball.

 

[nzfan]

That's the fifth one... Allen will be saying please catch me by now lol

 

[Binkley]

Allen has played brilliantly, but he really needs a better option against the short ball on off.
