This is the sort of humiliation NZ fans should be happy to see their team responding with after last test. Good signs they’re destroying these second eaters now their mental approach is right.

No idea what a second eater is, but the important thing is that it made sense in your own head.

But while we wade through the rubble of this disastrous performance it's worth noting we're missing our three best bats as well as another one who made 80 in the last match. For clarity, that's the one where we beat the world champions in their own country.

Basically we've gone in with four bats who wouldn't normally get a game for Bangladesh. Which is a pretty apt description for the batting order your own nation is currently beating up at home so after the (internationally celebrated) humiliations of last summer it's no wonder you're up and about.

Lmao both of these idiots throwing the bat at 7 down and 403 runs behind.

How did this mob seriously beat NZ?

Burgey's not wrong though that nothing short of an emphatic win would be enough after last match. And there has been an extra edge, extra determination visible in how Latham and some of the others batted, how Boult has bowled imo. Win this and then take that into the SA series.

Black Caps main bowlers apparently 'hooping the ball around corners' at Hagley, while at the Mount there was no swing and they were mostly cannon fodder.

Also seemed from Latham's comments after the Mount defeat that they had dropped their bundle a little playing at the Mount on a flat and pretty slow track, and were really really looking forward to getting to Hagley and conditions they enjoy.

So I guess the Mount test is the best indication of how our seamers will (continue to) go in places that are not NZ or England.
They look a million dollars when the ball is swinging and they are getting a little bit of assistance from the surface, and at other times they look like they couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding due to a lack of genuine pace and an inability to bowl metronomic length and line or to get it to reverse.

4 runs from 17 innings is pretty impressive stattage from Ebadot. Is he truly the inheritor of the Chris Martin mantle?

Survived two balls at least. Averaging 0.5.

He's close. Bettering Martin would mean no double figure scores. I wish ball by ball highlights of his 12 were on YT.

I mean sure that's one view but we have bowled well in Asia and west indies before. I pretty sure both southee and Wagner have proved they are pretty good on dead tracks.

What's the deal with Nurul Hasan / Sohan?
Click to expand...
The name or the player?

Deshis always have a formal name (Nurul Hasan), and a nickname that people actually address them by (Sohan).

Back in the day the cricketers were always known by both their formal name as well as their nickname (Aminul Islam Bulbul, Khaled Masud Pilot etc). Latterly the nickname only enters the equation when there's other blokes with the same formal name in the system. Presumably there's been other Nurul Hasans in Deshi domestic cricket. Also Mehidy and Mahedi Hasan are both in the system at the same time so Mehidy now gets called Miraz.

Or was this about cricket? Lel

I mean, we literally just came back from India, which is not in NZ nor England. Only two seamers played, one averaged 27 and the other 30. Another one that didn't play took the most amount of wickets in a Trans-Tasman series over there two years ago, and the other is Trent Boult.

It's not too late to adopt a positive mindset in your New Year's plans.

We were **** at the Mount, hopefully it's a one-off.

Somehow Jamieson managed to maintain his crazy bowling average despite bowling poorly. He'll have better days and get fewer rewards for his efforts.

Looks like NZ well and truly switched on today though the batting probably wasn’t as ruthless as it could have been. Feel for BD missing so many first choice players.

How was Blundell’s innings? Did it look like he’s recovered a bit of form/ confidence now or was it a case of BD simply bowling to his strengths?
