*Official* Bangladesh Tour of New Zealand 2019

[Grasshopper]

Wouldn't be a nz odi without a lost review early

LOL why the hell did they review that??

 

[TheBrand]

I thought that it was bat hitting pad first too. Not sure if it's worth a gamble though.

 

[Athlai]

Jeez, half the teams in the world can just be bowled out by the short ball in conditions with a bit of bounce.

 

[thundaboult]

152.6 lol...this guy is ridiculous sometimes. All strength after he gets the timing of his jump right, pure strength.

 

[straw man]

**** that's quick

 

[thundaboult]

154.9...quickest in the world atm. No doubt.

 

[Grasshopper]

Nice heat.

 

[Mike5181]

Bond's fastest was clocked at 156 or something, wasn't it? Ferguson's getting up there.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I don't remember bond clocking in the 150s this consistently, great stuff

yep, 156.4

 

[thundaboult]

154 again this guy is leaving third degree burns on the speed gun

Pretty amazing that Bangladesh's number 7 batsman is handling this pace and hitting boundaries off the front foot. Would usually expect SC batsmen (and numerous past NZ batsmen), unless they're the very best, to roll over to that.

sabbir has batted all over the shop. He's much better than your standard SC number 7.

Starc can produce that kind of heat, and more importantly is capable of bowling 145+ for more than 4 or 5 overs a day. Let's see what kinds of numbers Lockie produces in his second spell.

Looks like he's got his fitness sorted now. 150 hit in every over.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Definitely more Lockheed Martin than Massey Ferguson today

Not really, he was struggling to crack 140 kmh at times during the India series. He's very much a rhythm bowler, and when it all clicks he can bowler quicker for a bit longer, but he's not really showing it on a consistent basis.

 

[Mike5181]

He's still around 147-148 now.

gotta disagree. He's still got a lot of room for improvement but he's definitely moving in the right direction, been early-mid 140s at worst in later spells whenever I've watched.

So after our last ODI, a lot of people said we ****ed up by not rolling India because we didn't select and/or didn't bowl our best bowlers and let things drift through the middle....

We have now picked the bowling line-up everyone has wanted and the exact same thing happened anyway....
