*Official* Bangladesh Tour of New Zealand

[nzfan]

Early days for Allen. I don't rate this Bangladesh attack much above the provincial sides he's muscled around the country (at least in NZ conditions) so I'm not sure we're going to learn anything about him in this series. Will be more interested in how he goes in India.

Strange innings from Young. Should've just been looking to knock the ball around and feed Phillips the strike.

Missed out watching the first 12 overs... Allen looking good today? I see he scored few quick runs.

 

[Ultra Instinct]

Allen and Young look promising.

Disappointed with Chapman for not taking the few chances he's gotten to show he's up for this level (yes I know he's scored runs for Hong Kong before).

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Thought maybe Bangladesh could limit us to around 160 but welp

Did anyone say 4 or 5 years ago expect Mitchell to kick on the way he has? He just looks so solid and dominant at this level now.

Forget 4-5 years ago, I didn't think he was good enough for international cricket a year ago. He's changed my opinion for sure.

Listening to Macca, Rosco and Grant talking about spin options for UK they reckon Ravindra should be part of the 20 man squad. It's not just me that thinks so then but I think Santner, Ajaz, somerville and Sodhi will make the cut.

150+ off 16 overs. Tough chase coming up for Bangladesh. If Mitchell didn't score those quick runs towards the target would have been lot less.

 

[ataraxia]

Does Scotty even know what he's talking about? Or is it just nonsense?

 

[nzfan]

I'm not sure about this. They're saying they don't know what the target is? Surely Bangladesh will know.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Nah I think they'll just make a target after 5 overs or so

Mitchell's innings for NZ this summer:

Test

T20

NZC app has said a target of 170 off 16 since the start of the innings. I think Stevenson’s lost it.

Surely they’re not going out there and starting playing without knowing a target or number of overs. ?

stevenson trying to explain DLS

kill me now

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Haha amazing

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Ok it’s another Jeff Crowe absolute shemozzle.

 

[nzfan]

This is unbelievable, they had like an hour to work it out. Game held off because they don't know the target. I'm seeing this for the first time ever. That's crazy.

 

[James]

LOL what is going on?

Surprised Bangladesh would even start the innings without knowing what they need.

 

[nzfan]

Looks like they must be using windows 98 to calculate the DL score. Ffs...

 

[ataraxia]

lol it is 170 after all...

are people sure that the conversation was about the DLS target?
