Not getting wicket till now is not a good sign.

Man, kiwis may score 300+ today and then lose within 40 overs.

[Murad]

[One World]

[Game On]

[Murad]

Vettori is the captain for the northern knights

[tonoy]

This was a 275 pitch and we left so many runs on the board playing too defensive, than 1 wrong decision to Captain Kid and the rest fell now we gonna lose

thank you. finally someone understands.

[cricman]

Why don't they swap with their national team with northern Knights :)

Why Can't we Swap our National Side with the Aussie side?

[Murad]

reza bowled well in last 2 overs.. only 2 runs conceded.

[PoorFan]

92/1 for 20.0

[KnightBD]

any video link for NZ game?

[One World]

Vettori is the captain for the northern knights

that justifies, interesting discussion on global warming vs day-night test

[akabir77]

thank you. finally someone understands.

[PoorFan]

Shahadat is not playing?? why isn't he bowling??

[Murad]

[KnightBD]

seems like spin is not an option in NZ pitches... :(

[Pundit]

Yes, why isn't Murad bowling

[kalpurush]

Why Can't we Swap our National Side with the Aussie side?
Should we?!!!...[বাংলা]আসিদের খাওয়াইতেই ত আমাদের টাকা সব চলে যাবে!!!:([/বাংলা]

[PoorFan]

I dont mind we lose this game, but we need to get more wickets.

[cricket_king]

Bangladesh better not lose this...surely we can't...

[akabir77]

our bowlers r bowling in the wrong spot here all getting spanked

[Pundit]

Northern Districts appears to be 2nd last in the local league.

Our opponents in the 3rd one day - Aukland, appears to be at the top of the State Champs.

[akabir77]

unless some one takes 3 wkts quickly we r doomed

[Pundit]

Bangladesh better not lose this...surely we can't...

Why not...maybe we'll stop hearing all this whining

[One World]

Razzak can do it again. Time to prey some northern kiwi.

[akabir77]

Northern Districts appears to be 2nd last in the local league.

Our opponents in the 3rd one day - Aukland, appears to be at the top of the State Champs.

can any one confirm that they didn't hire some players from other teams like abahani mohammadan do?

[Beamer]

sorry bro.. no links.. ami tokhon moja korchilam.. :D

dhur mia..thanks anyway..

[Murad]

shahadat started with a wide delivery.. :(

[tonoy]

and how did u knew that during 1st innings? jhorey pok porey r tonoy fakirer keramoti barey...

because commonsense prevailed. its quite normal to go on at a rate of 4-4.5 in a one day game. There isnt much risk to it no matter what the pitch condition is. im sorry if you just cant get that in your head.

[Pundit]

can any one confirm that they didn't hire some players from other teams like abahani mohammadan do?

Confirmed, they did not hire.

[One World]

can any one confirm that they didn't hire some players from other teams like abahani mohammadan do?

Point to ponder!

great :) thanks :up:

[Ajfar]

dhurroo..aieesobb ki hoitaseee.

[AsifTheManRahman]

Not a bad start as far as the batting is concerned, although I suspect we could have got a few more. The bowling isn't looking to good though, at least from the scorecards (I'm not watching it live).

[skhondoker]

the commentary can be back as the aus-nz game stopped

[One World]

Generally BD bowlers carry lot of improvisation. Hopefully S pair will complete the undone task of R pair.

[Pundit]

I would think that both India and Pakistan would not have fared any better in the 1st outing in NZ as well. But then again, Miandad was always a boggeyman for NZ

[akabir77]

because commonsense prevailed. its quite normal to go on at a rate of 4-4.5 in a one day game. There isnt much risk to it no matter what the pitch condition is. im sorry if you just cant get that in your head.

Please Don't talk like a brain less guy ok. I know tall guys normally come with less don't prove that here...I have lost interest talking with u anymore...

[Pundit]

Rajib concedes 10.

I think the fast bowlers are just warming up - they are not focusing too much on control. Just glad they are bowling.

[Murad]

cold war going on between akabir bhai and tonoy.. i'm enjoying it.. keep it up..guys..

[tonoy]

Please Don't talk like a brain less guy ok. I know tall guys normally come with less don't prove that here...I have lost interest talking with u anymore...

achcha bap maf chai. khoma kore diyen:notworthy:

[cricket_king]

This is ridiculous...Bangladesh only managed 222 when boundaries seem to be falling like rain for Northern District. How slow did they play? I was worried that this would be the case. Too defensive I bet.

Shocking display, disappointing start of a high profile tour.

[Murad]

Australia made 340 in this pitch last year and NZ chased it as well.

[Pundit]

Shocking display, disappointing start of a high profile tour.

Shocking only because you were expecting a win.

[Murad]

oh shittt thats a bad news... rasel injured?? dhurrr ei desh ta faltu..ekhane ahsle khali injury hoi

[PoorFan]

This is too bad, not getting wicket come ooonnn.

[Beamer]

oh shittt thats a bad news... rasel injured?? dhurrr ei desh ta faltu..ekhane ahsle khali injury hoi

how did you find out?

[Ajfar]

ohh shoott..wats rong with russell

Shocking only because you were expecting a win.

Shocking because quality of bowling. It seems a humiliation now rather than a competition.

[tonoy]

rasel injured? oh great :(

[One World]

how did you find out?

listen to the radio :)

[Ajfar]

the first radio link is wrkingg....

[Beamer]

radio links covering the match again guys..(if u didnt know)
thanks again

[cricket_king]

Dhurr......aar ekta wicket nite parlam na. Terrible performance all round. Batting was made to look hard when New Zealand are battering boundaries by the dozen.

[Murad]

135/1

[Beamer]

I keep giving the ball to Shahadat. Result is unimportant. We need him to get his line and act together in this trip.

[cricket_king]

Can someone please update the scores once in a while if possible?

Here's the live scorecard.

Here's the live scorecard.
http://livescoring.blackcaps.co.nz/nojs/match216/summary/

Awesome, good complement to the radio commentary.

Listening to the radio, it doesn't seem the batting was all that great. Well, as long as they free up their limbs and get a feel of the conditions.

[Eshen]

Farhad Reza currently holds the best figure among Bangladeshi pacers ! That says a lot about how poorly our bowlers are doing in this match.

[One World]

horsley gone

Horsely is horseradish

There's a radio link? :confused:

check the first post!

[One World]

now hold your horses team, still something may come out from here - (there is lot more than just win in cricket)

[AsifTheManRahman]

Time to pluck a few more. Let's hope Flynn doesn't get too comfortable and continue from where Horsley left it off.

[Murad]

reza is not giving that much runs.. hes bowling like the way he did in srilanka...not much runs..

[Eshen]

Farhad is cashing in this match with both hands :clap:

[Rabz]

Farhad strikes!
the danger man gone!

[sandpiper]

hi folks, back again

[AsifTheManRahman]

reza is not giving that much runs.. hes bowling like the way he did in srilanka...not much runs..

If he can bowl in the practice matches like he did in Sri Lanka, he definitely deserves to be in the eleven, because I certainly believe he's got enough batting in him to be able to contribute in that area as well.

[tonoy]

no ball

[sandpiper]

free shot

[Beamer]

I don't think the team has room for Tushar Imran. This is why. Two openers, followed by Aftab, Sakib, Ash, Rahim, Reza, Mash, Raj, Rasel and I will take another pacer.

[cricket_king]

check the first post!

LOL thank u

[Murad]

If he can bowl in the practice matches like he did in Sri Lanka, he definitely deserves to be in the eleven, because I certainly believe he's got enough batting in him to be able to contribute in that area as well.

Yeap. He deserves to be in the eleven. He made some valuable runs as well. I think He will be handy in ODIs. Tushar is no use.. SO he could easily replace Tushar.

[Eshen]

Time to bring back Razzak ?

[tonoy]

4 overthrows O_O

[One World]

Overthrow and 5 (commentators saying "school boy stuff")

[One World]

152/2 after 30 overs

[AsifTheManRahman]

I don't think the team has room for Tushar Imran. This is why. Two openers, followed by Aftab, Sakib, Ash, Rahim, Reza, Mash, Raj, Rasel and I will take another pacer.

I agree with you. Sure, Imran probably needs a few chances and the coach probably likes him, but I think Reza's more valuable at the moment, and Mushy should definitely play at 3 - especially in conditions like the ones in NZ where he seems to flourish (e.g. the century in England).

[Beamer]

In Tests, maybe, and he will probably get a chance to bat at no.3. But, in ODI's, our success ( whatever we have so far ) has come when Aftab played at no.3 during the power plays and he really is the best answer. You can try Rahim, if you want, but, I would rather have Rahim opening.

He left it in bangladesh.

[Kabir]

So we're losing to a league team now?

How Interesting.

[cricman]

Was he out?

[tonoy]

this is pathetic.

[sandpiper]

dhurrrr....

[sandpiper]

they should return home, no reason playing with national side

[cricman]

[BD Tigers]

[Murad]

New Ball taken

[tonoy]

So we are losing, what happened to our bowlers?

low score= low bowler confidence.

[Murad]

So we are losing, what happened to our bowlers?

bowlers struggling to get good line and lenghth except reza.

plus rasel is injured.

[cricman]

How many LBW appeals have to be turned down?

[Murad]

all of them... as we are not the home team.

[tiger_omar]

Out!!!

[tonoy]

mash gets one.

[sadi]

Looks like Forhad is the better bowler today.

[cricman]

LBW finally given!

[Beamer]

Lbw

[tonoy]

ar koto lbw refuse korei.

[sandpiper]

Mash got a wkt at last

[Murad]

finallly the main bowler gets a wicket. and also an lbw given after turning down many.

[tiger_omar]

Mashrafe got an LBW decision finally.

43 runs required with more than 10 overs left and 7 wickets in hand.

[taklima_naj]

how come Shahadat is such a useless bowler and rasel injured? Oh no

[Ajfar]

ashraful ball korlo na ajkee..

[Beamer]

[sandpiper]

inside edge and 4

[cricman]

[tonoy]

ooh that was close. luck against us.

[tiger_omar]

Mashrafe almost got another wicket, it was an inside edge that went for a 4.

38 runs required with 14 overs left and 7 wickets in hand

[taklima_naj]

Oh Mash, get a few pls

[nzfan]

why are you people so pathetic? The Black caps are undergoing a rebuilding phase, shane bond is out, stephen fleming is near his end nathan astle is gone, craig mcmillan is gone, of course we will lose to australia, i support your team, but all you do is say how useless my team is, but you can't even beat one of our lowly ranked domestic teams, i give up

hey that was just one guy. pouring salt over a cut eh? all the things you have said is quite true.

[tonoy]

blame the overly defensive batsmen. you should complete your hundred by the end of 22 overs. we were under 4 for about 37 over.

[nzfan]

yeah, im sorry, your team does have enormouse ability, i just hate it when someone dismisses the blackcaps as rubbish, we dont have the natural talent or player base, so we will never be "world class" but they try

[Murad]

pathetic bowling and bowling.

we lost few quick wickets in the middle..that also cost us a alot.

yeah, im sorry, your team does have enormouse ability, i just hate it when someone dismisses the blackcaps as rubbish, we dont have the natural talent or player base, so we will never be "world class" but they try

Nzfan - let it go. A bad day brings the worst out of most of our fans, very easily. Besides, most fans have become one since the recent WC.

[sandpiper]

New Zealand is still a very balanced and strong side. But Aussies are just peerless :)
Kiwis have the ability to beat teams like South Africa, Srilanka and other big guns.

[Pundit]

We need Marshal Ayub to tackle Hamish Marshall.

[Pundit]

Can we get another wicket before the loss?

[Eshen]

Come on, at least take few more wickets.

They beat Australia 3-0 Last year

[taklima_naj]

I think our under 19 bowlers could defence this total.

[sandpiper]

Bangladesh lost by 7 wickets.

[Farhad]

Dang it! Just signed on to see the tigers losing against a domestic side. Feels kinda weird to be supporting a losing team again (Bostons been kicking a$$ lately). I miss this :-p

[Pundit]

I think they could defend it.

[tonoy]

cant we ever dream about a good pacer, an agressive opening batsmen pair? Are these too much to ask for?

[sandpiper]

yeah, although it was depleted Australia led by Hussey, Kiwis played really well to successfully chase 300+ twice in that series. (in fact this is in 2007)
They beat Australia 3-0 Last year

[taklima_naj]

surprising Aftab didnt make one single 4, look like he is too worried with test place and Tushar scored 8 from 26 balls, terrible

[nzfan]

Bangladesh just needs to learn how to play our pitches they are unique

they are mostly drop in pitches"hole is dug and pitch dropped into it" because all our stadiums are rugby fields

you can also take advantage of our stadium boundaries because they are rugby fields

[wiseshah]

i am speechless.

[sandpiper]

wide .... :)
depriving Marshall from his 50

I think Bangladesh just needs to learn how to play. Period. Its ridiculous, this...

BD's got a great future, thats for certain. Under 19 looks pretty strong. But for now, i guess we've just got to accept the fact that these guys can never play with the big boys...

[One World]

BD seemed clueless in the field, need more team work.

[cricman]

6 to end the match

[taklima_naj]

Nah, Bhavchilam ei doler shathe jitte parbo, hoila na, ki ar kora, hope for the best in the real game

aww 7 wicket loss

[sandpiper]

He brings up 50 with a 6

[KnightBD]

6 to finish off...
this would be a desastering tour :(

[sandpiper]

not a good warm up

[tonoy]

aro cautious batting lagbe. domestic bowler der ke ato bhoy pai?

[Eshen]

All this time we were thinking batting would be our main concern in NZ, suddenly bowling turns out to be a bigger headache !!!

[Murad]

our batsmen didn't do that bad considering it is their first match of the tour. they will do much better in the next match.

our bowlers let us down today...no one bowled well...

anyways... these are practice matches. hope everyone get used to the condition very well and work on their mistake.

[taklima_naj]

Razzak need more work to be useful in this pitch

[taklima_naj]

All this time we were thinking batting would be our main concern in NZ, suddenly bowling turns out to be a bigger headache !!!

That is our problem, bhavi ek, hoi ar ek

[nzfan]

Do you see why New Zealand doesnt produce many spinners? the pitches arnt helpful for it in general

[Eshen]

If Razzak does not turn around his form in coming matches, the selectors will be under heavy fire from the media for leaving out Rafique from the ODI squad.

[Kabir]

All this time we were thinking batting would be our main concern in NZ, suddenly bowling turns out to be a bigger headache !!!

Exactly my thoughts. And that's why...I think the practice was a bit too much for for batting.

[taklima_naj]

If Razzak does not turn around his form in coming matches, the selectors will be under heavy fire from the media for leaving out Rafique from the ODI squad.

Yeah, thats true, However in that case i think instead of razzak, another pacer could be useful but again nazmul is in the team, useless selection

[Murad]

Guys.. given them the benifit of doubt today. It's their first match of the tour. Lets wait and see what happen in the 2nd practice match. If they condinue to do the same, then we could say anything we want.

[sandpiper]

I hope Siddons and team management would be fast to figure out the problems and rectify accordingly before some more drubbing happen to us.

We didnt play good cricket at all, In ODI 250 + should be the score to defend and bowlers should carry on from that to win

Anyway it is a first match, hope Siddions will work with bowlers and Negative sides of Batting as well.

[cricket_king]

Pathetic.

[taklima_naj]

Its 16th Dec and they lose, what can we do?

[al Furqaan]

don't read anything into this...remember when right before the WC bermuda scored 206 on us and even canada cracked 260? at that time, BC wisdom was that we would get creamed by india and lanka and bow out with a win against bermuda only (even that looked shaky). we gave up 260 to canada, yet held india and south africa under 200.

our boys just came out with no plan to win. the low RR and sedate innings indicates that it was more of what JS and the management has been talking about: preserving their wickets. i am sure they will do what they do once the real matches begin.

mash doesn't even get hit around by the top dogs of int'l cricket.

i strongly believe we will win 1 ODI this series and avoid innings defeats in both tests. this performance hasn't changed anything

[cricket_king]

Its 16th Dec and they lose, what can we do?

Yes...it's also my birthday....poor way to celebrate either way.

[taklima_naj]

Yes...it's also my birthday....poor way to celebrate either way.

Sorry for u br, try to forget and enjoy with smone ( May be gf)

[syzygy]

hmmmm....i am not so surprised with the result, but it seems many bd fans are indeed....nice to see bd bak in action

[Orion]

good to see Junaed score some runs....we shouldn't read too much into this match...they are just starting off the series....needs time to adjust.

[Farhad]

hmmmm....i am not so surprised with the result, but it seems many bd fans are indeed....nice to see bd bak in action

Tell me syzygy...Why do you even come here? I dont necessarily mean that in a rude way. Youre welcome here. Curious, thats all, since you dont think much of our team and only post when we're all already down. (Of course, us Bangladesh fans never have much to cheer about, so I'll excuse the latter...)

[Rabz]

Its not all that lost.
Just the first warm up match.

The player should get an indication of the local pitch.

Thats why there are two more practice matches.

Im sure they will do ton better in the main matches.

Im far from worried at this point.

[sandpiper]

he will come again and again to rub salt in the wound each time bd lose anywhere in the world until he can forget that port-of-spain incident.

[Yasin]

Not the end of the world if we have lost a warm up match. Bangla Cricket will see better days in the near future undoubtedly.

I just hope players arent playing for securing themselves in the team. Tushar and Aftab were probably doing just that. Also while playing 12 players (11 bat and 11 field) is a good strategy to give maximum number of players a chance to have a go, I would prefer the starting XI only to play all the three warm ups. Siddons and the team management need to get choose their XI for the first ODI right now and let them play as a team. Playing 12 is like having a supersub, a rule that no longer exist.

Disappointed that Ashraful has got a start but couldnt get a big one. Havent watched the match, but going by the score, no Bangladeshi batsmen have been out for lbw or bowled. Thus literally throwing their wickets away by either being very defensive (edges) or very agressive (catches and edges off flashy drives).

Good to see Mash and Farhad getting runs and wickets too.

On the whole not a good start, but better days are bound to come.

[Kuddus]

batting wise it was a decent outing i think. Zunaed, although he played good, couldn't accelerate when he was set, but he was the top scorer so can't complain much. From the commentary it seemed like Ashraful might have been unlucky to be given out, but we all know that practice matches have hardly any correlation to the real ones when it comes to him. Tamim failed not surprising but Sakib was the most inform batsman coming in so him not performing was a bit of a bummer. Plus Aftab should be given a chance at number 3 in one of these practice matches. At least take advantage of the powerplays.

Bowling lacked bite. Shahadat spraying around as usual probably. Farhad coming out with the best figures surprisingly.

[nobody]

Guys chill down. Who cares? It is just a warm up. We fans are like the friend of Asterix (I forgot the name) who always think earth is falling down.

[Rifat]

thank you! i thought we played well... we should take something from this game and build momentum from here on.

because he's a worthless individual with nothing valuable to do in his life...the fact that he posts so stupidly (i used to troll places and did it far longer than zyzgy did without getting caught) only indicates his lack of intelligence. just loves the abuse. masochist perhaps...

[RazabQ]

Again, folks it's a practice match - the 1st game of the tour. So cut out the doom and gloom. And please lay off the petty stuff like calling NZ names ..

[wiseshah]

i have a fear about zunaed. This is BD tradition, who is doing well in the practice matches, never perform in the real match

last 20/20------ nazimuddin
last world cup--- shahriar nafees
previous world cup--- al shahriar (he even scored 176 against some SAF club team)

[AsifTheManRahman]

batting wise it was a decent outing i think

Yeah, plus they all got to spend some time out there in the middle, barring the number eleven.


Farhad coming out with the best figures surprisingly.

Not too surprising. He was delivering the goods against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka, and he just kept up the good work here. Plus the conditions might have helped, although I'm not too sure about the nature of the wicket that they played on, other than the fact that Australia scored big here, but then they score big everywhere pretty much.
