Black Caps - Bangladesh tour

[Cyclops]

Southee edging his way up the 'most test runs without a century' list. Up to 4th now, but won't be able to get to 3rd in this innings but might this series. First (Warne) is out of reach, 1000 runs ahead but second (SL keeper Dickwella) might get a ton yet. Starc is in 6th about 30 runs behind Timmy.

Both Warne and Starc have been out for 99!

think i heard earlier Bangladesh the only country that Southee doesn't have a test six against, he must be tempted ha ha

[Chris B.]

@bayimports About five yards short there!

[Gunner]

Jamieson gone.

Southee might as well tee off now.

[bayimports]

317 all out no six, but good tail wag

[Chris B.]

Bloody Mominul!

He's played 58 tests and prior to this match had taken 7 wickets.

Now he gets 3 for 4!

Or get out 3 balls later.

Oh well, we are basically down to a single innings game now.

Time for a big bowling performance from our spinners.

2000 Test runs for Tim Southee 👊
Among those with 300+ wickets for New Zealand in Tests, only Richard Hadlee and Daniel Vettori have achieved this feat 👏

[bayimports]

tough way to get out. well done Timmah!

The pressure is because the bowlers didn't gift free runs like we did in the first innings. Slow run rate means pressure - ad pressure brings bad shots.

Two reverse sweeps in that over gets only one run off them - good bowling by NZ

Pretty hard to lift anything in tests when you don’t play them anymore.

And I never said test matches he should be not selected for, White ball if you read back properly .

[Chris B.]

@Chris You are missing the point.

There's only ever been four NZ bowlers that have taken 300 wickets.

[Chris]

I do understand that he has played a lot of tests.
Stats come with volume.

Great comeback by the Tigers.. hopefully get a breakthrough soon

Fair play they've taken it to us.

Anything over 150 is hard, 200 is tough, and 250 could be beyond us
