Giving NZ and their commies hell- batting first in a green top and NZ is going mad.
NZ has mauled many team at home and they expected Bangla to roll over.

Bangladesh A very decent team now- But more work neeeded
In reply to Emir
They will soon pass us
Ton for Shakib, Mushfiqur 88*
ton fi Mushfiqur - four tons in one day - nice test batting
In reply to Chrissy
I believe Bangla is currently better than us in both Test and ODI versions.
Keeper claims dirty catch but technology gets the better of him. He should have indicated to the umpire that he was unsure as opposed to his almost certain demeanor
NZ being hammered relentlessly.
Interesting to see if their keeper will face the match referee for the catch

This is what the game used to be !!!...Dinesh had tried the same too.. I think we can all remember how that played out.
Technology is a great equalizer...
In reply to Atl_View
.
Well we don't know if Dinesh was a sincere error or this NZ keeper was also a sincere errror... and we may never know.
What we do know however, is the punishment is not the same and this is what is wrong with the game. Since the Dinesh issue, other glovemen with similar claims have never been punished as Rammo was.
Technology doesn't have an answer for bias humans
Interesting...when I look back at the last three encounters with Bang in 2011,2012 and 2014....I see a WI dominance with batting led by Shiv,Kraigg,Powell,Samuels and Edwards and bowling led by Bishoo, Benn,Narine, Roach, Edwards and even Best.
I think our young bats would excel against Bang bowling and bowlers like Bishoo, Gabriel and young Joseph parade...even Holder might do very well against them.
WI is a stronger team than NZ talentwise....mentally NZ is far far superior but WI would not be mentally daunted going against Bang.
In reply to analyst-kid... fair analysis.
In my opinion , Bangladesh is already ahead of US in the longer versions of the game . The fact that they are going to the World Tournament while
our Players are not going is ample proof that this is a fact , not Fiction .
Actually got to see my first bit of Test action on TV in some time during that Bangladesh-New Zealand match. Well done Shakib Al Hasan. Well deserved.
Bang might be ahead of us but they have yet to beat a full strength WI squad in any format series.
WI has beaten them home and away repeatedly.

Brad: "Green pitches in New Zealand don't necessarily mean movement off the seam. If Mushfiqur wins the toss he might contemplate batting instead of bowling into the Wellington wind and fielding in 16°C."
How good is Bangladesh? if you cannot defend 598 runs, with less than three days remaining, your are not that decent.
Speaking too soon is an art on this here MB. NZ straight ripping Bangla. All games lost thus far, and pretty easily at that.
1st Test: New Zealand v Bangladesh at Wellington, Jan 12-16, 2017
New Zealand won by 7 wickets
Looks like 2017 will be the year of some new GMs
How decent is Bang these days?
In reply to Chrissy
They have already passed US , whether WE like it or not . Look Bangladesh has had Leagues etc for years .
Only about 5 years ago the Big Idiots in the Region decided at last to have a Regional League , This is something
that I have talked about since 2003 .
It has a very large population compared to our Region , the Competition there is very keen .
KEEN COMPETITION RAISES THE STANDARDS
OF CRICKET IN ANY COUNTRY .
UNFORTUNATELY , THIS FACT IS NOT YET
RECOGNIZED IN THIS REGION .
Some of US are contented to pack the
West Indies Team with Our Players ,
their idea is that every jack man for themselves .
WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY
YEARS WITH THE SAME TEAMS WINNING
THE REGIONAL TOURNAMENT .
How in God;s name that is Progress in
West Indies Cricket ????
Bangladesh seems to have a very good Cricket Board, that is interested in making its team the Best in the World .
I have not heard that their Cricket Board ; fights with its Players just
before they play International Matches .
WE have been doing the same B.S for
years now , with the expectation that
magically our Players particularly in the longer versions of the will be
World Beaters , That aint ever going to happen .
Yet the same Goons are in charge of the Mad House ; known ae the Worst
International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth the WICBC .
BTW , changing the name while still
having the same modus operandi aint going to hide the numerous flaws of the WICBC . This is simply a Figment
of their Imagination .
As I said they might very well pass us...in organisation and structure...but not on the field....if WI field a team against them NOW...all like Brathwaite (ave 58.00) and the rest will boost their averages by 10 and 90mph+ bowlers like Gabriel,Joseph and Roach along with Bishoo would excel....remember Tino Best himself did okay against them with 2 5fers and 17 wkts @ 32.11.
BATTING
Kraigg Brathwaite ave 58.14 vs Bang
Kirk Edwards ave 46.66 vs Bang
Marlon Samuels ave 69.42 vs Bang
Darren Bravo ave 62.77 vs Bang
Shiv ave 149.50 in 14 innings vs Bang
BOWLING
Pedro Collins ave 16.00 vs Bang with 26 wkts
Fidel Edwards ave 33.36 with 19 wkts
Jerome Tayler ave 27.14 vs Bang with 7 wkts
Kemar Roach ave 20.40 with 25 wkts
Bishoo ave 21.18 vs Bang with 11 wkts
Benn ave 12.42 vs Bang with 14 wkts
I will insist that WE are spinning Top in mud , when in the Region , the same
2 or 3 Teams are perpetually winning the Regional Tournaments , by NO stretch of the Imagination can that be considered as being , or making Progress .
I will forever be of the opinion that
THE STANDARD OF CRICKET IN THE REGION
WILL NEVER EVER IMPROVE UNTIL &
UNLESS ALL REGIONAL TEAMS ARE MORE
OR LESS ON PAR WITH EACH OTHER .
This folks in my opinion is the only
way
THAT ULTIMATELY THE STANDARD OF
OUR PLAYERS IN THE INTERNATIONAL
CRICKET ARENA WILL NOT ONLY IMPROVE ;
BUT ALSO BE FULLY COMPETITIVE .
In reply to analyst-kid
If Bangla plays WI in Bangla, I would bet hard cash on Bangla...
Bangladesh have a far larger population and player base, more funding resources and the ear of the ICC's most powerful nation, so it's only a matter of time until Bangladesh are a more successful unit in all formats unless the Windies can get it together.
