Black Caps v Bangladesh 2021
-
ODI's first up.
Lucky we have a ready made replacement for Kane in Devon Conway.
It seems like forever since we've had an ODI, I can't even remember who our first choice XI is...
Something like:
Guppy
Nichols? Allen?
KaneConway
Rossco
Latham
Neesham?
Santner
Southee?
Ferguson? Hows his injury? They'll probably want to fit Big Kylo into the team somewhere
Sodhi?
BoultWho knows....
-
CdG probably needs to fit in there somewhere once he's fit too.
-
do we have to play Boult and Southee in absolutely every game?
-
Guppy
Latham
Conway
Rossco
Santner
Kylo
Neesham
Timmee
BoultThose guys pretty much locked in I'd expect. Hopefully guys returning from injury will get a run, maybe Henry and Milne too
-
The team for the last ODI in NZ (vs India)
Nicholls opened, Jamieson played. Bennett - no thanks.
-
Playing Bangladesh, Wow I hope I can contain my excitement. How unusual to see them touring NZ.

No.
People have issues with leaving Southee out as much as they do with with keeping him in, unwinnable contradiction, so I'm staying away from that.I do want CDG and Ferg to get a run. They have been good and offer something a bit different.

Punishment for being absolute shithouse for decades?

Southee is the 5th best test bowler in the world currently which pleases me immensely......unfortunately he’s the 39th best ODI bowler.....ouch.
Give other guys a run. What’s Matt Henry up to ?

This answers some of our questions

Heath Davis once bowled a pie in a Wellington club game. I know cos someone I met at a bbq who was a mate of a mate told me.
What a waste.

Madman.
True story I hear, but what a madman
Yes I’ve heard some rather odd yarns about him.

Henry is actually a pretty damn good white ball bowler as long as you don't try to bowl him at the death.
I would say our first 11 ODI is the one that played the World Cup final:
So in the first game replacements for current injuries will probably be:
-
Conway plays for Kane
-
Mitchell (or maybe Young but I doubt it) for CdG
-
Southee or Jamieson for Ferguson.
We have only actually played 4 ODI's since the final which is crazy!

I hung out with him for a few nights in Nelson about 92? You've only just reminded me. Good fun cat. Always up for mischief and heaps of energy going from one pub to the next, chasing substances more than birds. Ultra athletic and coordinated. Used to glide along the ground effortlessly and defo was very quick Friendly to everyone and brutally honest about himself- you know one of those guys who tells you incriminating things about themselves without fear of judgement. Was part aboriginal i think he said and had these pale blue eyes which could change exotic into psycho in a blink🙂
Sorry, can't remember any outrageous antics or details but there would have been some. Another sorry that this post is me staring out the fern pub window mumbling to myself while you guys at the table talk cricket😒 -
Davis moved to Brisbane, Australia in 2003 and he is involved with cricket coaching. In 2008, he suffered a workplace accident while driving a forklift. As a result, half of his left foot had to be amputated.[1] He remarked about accident "I didn't want to remember all the no-balls that I bowled through my career. So I decided to do something permanent about it...
Someone who probably needed a lot more wrap around than what coaching offered in those days.
-
CdG had another surgery on his right ankle yesterday. He is expected to be able to resume training in 6 weeks and start bowling 2 weeks later, so a tight schedule to be fit for the English tests and WTC final.
-
Davis bowled about as straight as a Chiefs hooker throws.
Inaccurate would be an accurate description. -

-
@gunner does a servo pie at 4am count? 🙂
-
@siam absolutely
-
There's a proper game of cricket on 🙂
-
Just turned it on.
19/2. Boult 2 for 10
-
Latham fucks up Mitchell's catch at slip
-
I hope the bangles make some runs. It would be good to see us chasing something decent. Conway and Mitchell could do with a chance to show us what they got.

Yeah, I actually wish we had chosen to bat first. At the moment looks like this is going to be quite a boring game, whereas if we had batted first we would at least get to see one innings of entertainment.
We know what we can expect from our bowlers but have two batsmen and an all rounder on debut so would have been nice to how they will perform ( I would even bat Mitchell at 5 if we were batting first and he was coming in at around the 40 over mark).

@siam what channel is this on in NZ?

@frye said in Black Caps v Bangladesh:
@siam what channel is this on in NZ?
Would it be Spark Sport on the Interwebs? Or does this get shown on TB One?

Ah ok thanks. So it's a separate service? Shit.
I just got back into the country so I'm unfamiliar with spark sport.Yeah it's not on any of the free view channels either.

@frye gotta pick up Spark for the cricket. Only another month though so it's not too bad.

They don't accept non-NZ credit cards unfortunately. Looks like it's half over already anyway!

"Quasi" ?

So Jamieson can't get a Bangladeshi wicket either. Hmmmm.

I wasn't fussed about the lack of Aussie wickets, his the shit h was bowling to not get any.
Seems not have taken too much tap from judging by the scoreboard.
-
So which is it? A case of the batting/weatger/pitch /any combination being shit, or we bowling well? Waiting at the hairdressers on Saturday am for wife and offspring. My idea of a great weekend.

It's possibly somewhat of a grey area, streaming video from overseas. As the recipient it could be hard to get pinged... As the streamer it's a lot clearer about the copyright breach

Yes my understanding is that it is clearly illegal to be the streamer but unclear about watcher.
Probably it is covered as theft, or one of the myriad of dishonesty offenses.
