Bangladesh v New Zealand, 1st ODI, Dhaka, Oct 9th

Team news

Bangladesh have left out Mehrab Hossain jnr and Imrul Kayes from the 12 for the match, which means uncapped Naeem Islam, who captained the Academy side in Sri Lanka, could make his debut. Junaid Siddique is likely to get another chance as opener, while Mahbubul Alam, another newcomer, might miss out.

Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Junaid Siddique 3 Naeem Islam 4 Mohammad Ashraful (capt), 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Mashrafe Mortaza, 9 Abdur Razzak, 10 Shahadat Hossain, 11 Syed Rasel.

New Zealand have not announced their 12 but Jeetan Patel could get a game if the pitch favours spin.

New Zealand (probable): 1 Jesse Ryder, 2 Brendon McCullum (wk), 3 Jamie How, 4 Scott Styris, 5 Daniel Flynn, 6 Jacob Oram, 7 Grant Elliott, 8 Daniel Vettori (capt), 9 Jeetan Patel, 10 Tim Southee, 11 Kyle Mills.

The Bond Droppers have a chance to go up to # 2 in the ODIs if they win 3 nil.

Should be fascinating.......

Unfortunately some one changed the thread title.

Hope BD kill the Bond Droppers!

NZ in trouble- 65/4.

Bangers to whip Nz today!

Right on the cards - the Bangles need under 30 off about 10 overs with two wickets down - a truly dusmal iffort by the Kiwis.

15 runs needed off 9 overs . . . still 8 wickets in hand . . .

Good going by the Banglas.

They win by 7 wickets

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

Dusmal iffort! F*cking quality.

NZ hang your heads in shame. F*cking shambles.

Snoozers go to pieces when they can't play the underdog role it seems...

they should do better in the next match then

Although somewhat meaningless, HTF an 85* chasing 201 beats a 4/44 bowling first for MOTM is beyond me,.

Who scored 85* then?

But yeah, point taken, particularly as 3 out of the 4 wickets were their top 3.

Brilliant show by BAN!

To be fair, New Zealand's top three are generally no better than other teams' 8-10.

PMSL @ Snoozers.

Congrats to the Bangers.

Not just other teams but also their OWN team.

2nd match under way. NZ 2/44 in the 13th over. How made a 16 ball duck.

3/44 off 14. Ryder the latest to fall. Styris and Taylor at the crease.

Goodness me, NZ are in real danger of losing the series here.

Big Jakey just hit 25 from the final over.

Kiwis have set Bang 213. Oram made it a lot more respectable by taking 25 off the last over.

Bangers revert to type and collapse in a heap. Pity.
