*Official* Bangladesh Tour of New Zealand 2019

[Zinzan]

Despite not being a fan of Doull at all (he blocked me on twitter ) I’m interested to see his. Have a feeling he’d make a decent selector, for some reason.

What did you post to be blocked?

This is going to be a long tour for Bangladesh. Who thought it was a good idea giving them 3 Tests FFS? They did play OK last time, but it doesn't look good for them on this tour so far..

CDG is a god. Can hit a long ball

Because no one else seems to want to play NZ in 3+ Test series. So I say bring it on.

Besides, Test annihilations are more fun than white-ball ones.

I'd just like to know if Doull's bans are justified. I get the feeling he may be a tad trigger-(ed) happy, but could be wrong.

After his climate change comments I asked if he could confirm if the earth was flat or not and had we definitely landed on the moon (hashtag scienceexpert).

I mean Styris has said similar on air haha.

[Zinzan]

Interesting, both (Doull and Rigger) squads identical apart from Bracewell & Kuggs.

CDG the obvious omission from both.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Woo! This New Zealand is such a strong team, even without Williamson, India were lucky to catch them on their off days.

Or India simply were a better team

 

[Zinzan]

All have them including Southee proves once and for all none have followed NZ cricket over the last 2-3 years.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Smithy giving Henry the boot! :o

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Probably prefer Richardson’s out of all of them.

 

[Zinzan]

Smithy giving Henry the boot! :o

Tbf, the problem with Henry is he offers nothing after his 1st spell with the new ball, he's a straight liability after that. Doesn't have great variations, and generally bowls the kind of length ball ODI batsmen are after when it's not swinging.

 

[Dick Rockett]

This is Southee's first 4+ wicket haul since his famous 7-fer at the World Cup, exactly 4 years ago.

This should be enough to keep him in the team for another 4 years *sigh*

 

[Zinzan]

So the absolute locks among those of us here (correct me if I'm wrong) seem to be;


Guptill
_
KW
Taylor
Latham +
Neesham
CDG
Santner
_
Ferguson
Boult

Spots for debate being Guppy's opening partner and 3rd pace bowler (second spinner on spinners track).

I had a bad feeling he'd get a good return today against weak opp to sneak in the backdoor.
