Black Caps vs Bangles
-
I just checked on Cricinfo, and WTAF.
Yeah, fucking good option to put them in to bat on a road. And only 4 wickets down. Why wouldn't the Bangles take the opportunity to boost everyone's averages if they know their bowling attack is weaker?
Oh yeah, and our specialist coaches FUCKING SUCK.

The last three tests we have batted at the Basin and we were rolled on day one for less than 230 in all of those games. Smith, Matthews and Dhoni all won the toss and decided to have a bowl. At the Basin, there is a bit in it on the first day but the pitch never breaks up. The past 3 tests at the Basin have had 4 double centuries (McCullum, Voges, Sanga, Williamson) but all of those were scored later in the game. Anyone would have had a bowl.

in all seriousness, well done to Shakib, the highest score by a Bangladesh batsman.
-
collapse. Looks like we'll absolutely roll them
for 600
-
Great day for Bangladesh, well done to the "cannon fodder" absolutely dominated us.
-
Awesome to see Tom hit another ton, and Nicholls spend some time at the crease. A bit concerning that Rosco and Kane are both back in the pavillion still 300 behind, but if we can put on another 250ish runs then we've gone a long way towards saving the test.
-
@No-Quarter saving the test? Only 11 wickets have been lost over 3 days.
We have 17 wickets left over 2.
Would have to be a collapse of ... err ... Black Cap proportions to lose from here.

Just saw a meme on the internerd (Facebook .. i fucking hate facebook ... browsing on there for tge first time in a month) that said c. Watling B. Southee is the most prolific combo in NZ tests.
Am quite surprised.
Better than c. Smith b. Hadlee??
I know Hadlee's carrer stretched out longer tham Smthy's but it just seems to me that Southee and BJ's careers are at most just over half way.
And given Paddles lasted what? Nearly 20 years? ( I'll check) I'm just a little surprised.

They had this stat up on the first day - and interestingly two of the Watling/Southee catches were in the field (not behind the stumps)! So currently Smith/Hadlee has 1 more as a wicketkeeper, but one less in general
