Comical stuff

 

[Athlai]

What the hell, Southee doesn't drop those

 

[Zinzan]

What the hell, Southee doesn't drop those

Er, yes he does.

 

[Meridio]

FFS. Catch that.

Ball still swinging plenty when we get our seam presentation and length right. Really should have been looking at bowling them out for 160 here.

 

[BeeGee]

All these dropped catches are getting on my ****

 

[Dick Rockett]

Jeez, that's two strangles down the leg-side off Tim Lucksee.

I've been watching cricket for more than 30 years and I swear wickets like that happen way more than they used to. I can only assume that it's the influence of T20 on the batsmen.

What's definitely different is that the bowler gets credited for 'strangling' the batsman, rather than rightly being called out for being a jammy bastard.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Nazmul is looking fairly calm and Nurul on the other hand is looking exactly opposite

You could have something there in respect of how much more batsmen move across their stumps. I don't think someone like a Steve Smith could be said to be too unlucky getting strangled down leg.

I could actually feel Blocky's anger at Ian Smith's words there about Williamson's good captaincy in returning to Southee and Boult. Feels good.

 

[Athlai]

For the record I'm missing the Eden Park ODI because the Royal Rumble is on.

Not sure why the pic's so small? Anyway, I was thinking something similar about the fact that Boult and Southee have taken wickets or that the pitch is pretty similar to the one at the Basin.

 

[Athlai]

Quite like the look of Shunto.

Edit: Nurul not bad either

 

[Athlai]

Uhh Doully, Mominul isn't in danger of losing his spot. He is Bangladesh's best batsman.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Raval is Kayes level slip fielder

 

[Athlai]

shambles

 

[BeeGee]

This is getting ridiculous.

 

[Athlai]

Can see exactly why it happened, better ****ing drill that so it stops happening though.

 

[straw man]

Just read through the thread - sounds like our bowling has been a little better but three dropped catches is still

Coz old diabetes eyes Ross couldn't see the ball

The most remarkable thing about CDG's bowling is that he has 9 wickets to his name. Seriously rate Neesham/Anderson higher.
