thermonuclear:

 

Yes at 5-51 and 6-69,  NZ were clearly luring Bangladesh into a false sense of victory. World-beaters.  :)

 

Thats exactly what I said the bangers faces were saying after GP kept slaying them first and second innings when nobody else prior had a clue how to handle them, quite satisfying in the end and exciting. They do have some good bowlers though. Shorful the pace guy could be a handful in NZ (assuming he will be picked). In the end Ban were reviewing some absurdities. 

Interesting that wicket which Ban reviewed in their innings. Plum lbw but had to over turn despite hitting half way down middle because hit him over 3m from the stumps, dont see it often. Luck Id say (hoping it was missing) not calculated.

at one point it seemed inevitable even with GP we were going to lose. Such is the unsealing effect Nicholls and Blundell have on the side, especially in sea countries.

Even just Rachin alone might improve that if he lives up to is white ball. I do not understand why we played him touring Ind (and not GP) then not when he was in form in Bang, all 3 really poor decisions which I did say at the time.

Id like to see Mitchell in at 4 Rachin 5, GP 6, Blundell for now 7, KJ 8. That appears a strong mid-low order (potential that is). No room for Santner in that lineup on pitches with no turn. But I bet they pick him and Nicholls.

GP avg Bat 46, Ball 16. Clearly a bit generous with the ball, but his spin skill has progressed rapidly from only a couple of years ago. I think he will end up more like 45 and ~30. I just hope he has matured with the bat and fixed the same problem Michael clarke had with going aerial far too often and just how much longer you can remain in the middle removing the caught option. Some of his boundaries via the back foot cover drive were just scintillating to watch.
