Styris and Flynn haven�t done well, in this game they have slowed us down considerably, surely Elliot is a better option than one of these guys at the moment. We should have got 260 plus
Taylor is also shocking at seizing up on his way to 100, did it against SL at Napier when he got his maiden. Guess it comes with experience. Frustrating that he gets out the next ball aswell bopman2008-10-14 19:37:21

Yeah pretty frustrating, 230 would be good with Mills and Vettori now. But this is Bangladesh and we haven't made 250 in three ODIs. A bit dissapointing, I guess we'll just have to knock them over for 100 and get a convincing win.

And not great considering - slow pitch or not - this is a severely weakened Banga side which we usually hammer by a few hundred runs and we are struggling to beat them without half of their top team. Should win this one though.

All the talk about the Bangys being severely weaked is a bit off i think, they haven't lost 13 front line players. They have lost players much like we have, the guys coming to the end or past it and the guys who float around the level below the national side and get a game every now and then. As far as i am aware they probably only lost one of the 1st choice side

Well, too many of their names are similar, it gets me confused. Hossain, Hasan kind of thing. But losing half their team or not, we should still smash them.
This guy Iqbal is pretty good, 34 out of 43 runs. Average of 27 - good for Bangladesh.

Racist. Reported.
Not rascist, I would say the same about anyone. It just happens to be that some of their names are similar, it is not because they are Bangladeshi.

Bangladesh will take the award for the most boring innings known to man! At 75/5 you've got to be thinking, ok we can't win so I'm gonna play for myself, p[lay a few shots and get some points, that Naeem guy 43 off 154????? What a waste, sure its a not out, but noone will remember it.

Should be interesting. I'd like to see O'Brian have a go as i'm confident Patel will be out for Aussie, you can't have two spinners against them. But on the other hand this wicket should provide some great opportunities for Vettori and Patel to work in together!!!!!!

two spinners in a test?? cool!! about time, I reckon you can go with two spin options against Aussie, they've always stuggled against good off spin bowlers....and Patel has caused them problems before.

Oba gets one with his first ball ,two dropped catches in 4 overs. hmmmmm
Your Joking.
I couldnt believe in the 1/2 in hour between leaving tech and arriving home the bangers had only scored two runs....
But 2 dropped catches? Ever the Bangers are batting terribly,even for them or were on fire.
