New Zealand, sans trou

As an Australian I should be disappointed today.

But there are three things that stop me from being so.

Siddle & White taking wickets.

The debut of a leg spinner of high class in Mishra.

And New Zealand’s predicament in Chittagong.

I will cover the others later.

But New Zealand are in all sorts of shit.

90 runs behind with one wicket in hand.


Jamie Siddons will be a smug son of a bitch today, and quite rightly.

Bangladesh made it to 245 with mehrab singing his way to 80 odd, and Rahim getting to 70odd.

Then Daniel Vettori’s men collapsed to the Max.

They were 7/100 when Oram went out.

They are now 9/155.

And the old man of Bangladeshi cricket Abdur razzak at 26 took a superlative inspiring 6/31.

For some reason, he has been held back from test ricket, although that might never happen gain.

Correction: Shakib Al Hasan took 6 wickets, but am leaving the other bit in, cause i like Razzak, so it's like positive reinforcement.

If it wasn’t for Vettori on 48 not out, New Zealand would have the reddest ass in Bangladesh tonight.

Plus he also took a 5 for as well.

He is New Zealand cricket this week.

New Zealand are still close enough if they are good enough.

But are they good enough?

I hope not, because that would be funny.
