As a former HIBS lad it’s awesome to see two of them in the Black Caps side tonight.

The start of long careers for NZ I hope. I don’t think this pitch suits Ben Sears though.

He might not even get a bowl.

Just took a good catch though.

3 wickets and all of a sudden we are back

120 is a tough chase on these wickets

Didn’t watch any of game 1 but am watching this and didn’t realise no crowds there either. Pumped in crowd noises tho

[JK]

Need Naim out for my no 50s bet.

[Donsteppa]

Leaking too many runs.

Blundell too far in from the boundary there

Yes!!

[Donsteppa]

What is with our outfielders missing out on wickets and conceding fours and sixes by fielding too far in from the rope? Careless AF

[LABCAT]

Seemers showing how stupid our selectors are for not sending more spinners.

[Canes4life]

Lol why aren’t our fielders on the boundary? Some seriously sloppy cricket in this game. Could have saved a tone of runs.

[Donsteppa]

Bennett’s Pies. Another poor selection.

[JK]

Alright then….here we go with the batting bit

[Donsteppa]

Both openers looked like they were just trying to swat and hope before a good one got their number.

[LABCAT]

Latham has batted brilliantly but unfortunately didn't have any support from the rest of the team.

[canefan]

Latham trying to will them over the line. We come up short.

[LABCAT]

Being only 5 wickets down is a bit disappointing, suggests the batters were a bit too cautious. Could have a least sent Bracewell up the order to try a fluke a few boundaries.

I know this is essentially our A team but the selections are all wrong. Blundell shouldn't be opening and we shouldn't be playing three seamers (not much choice but could at have picked Kuggeleijn who can hold a bat).

[Godder]

@labcat Based on earlier posts about 100 being a good score in Bangladesh, I don't know that we can really conclude that the selections were all wrong or anything else about the game plan. Maybe Bangladesh are just hard at home, and we don't have our best team available, so we lost.

[Rapido]

Not bad.

Although that might be our best game of the series.

Fielding sloppy, though.

Much better pitch. But, even so, too much seam. Need minimum 3 and a half spinners. But hands are tied now.

[ARHS]

Surely Kuggeleijn plays next time. Weird use of Sears. Need a boundary hitter firing in top order too. Maybe Finn Allen comes in.

[Donsteppa]

Bring Allen in for one of the seamers. Time for CDG to step up with the ball (and with the bat and in the field, for that matter).
