Bang v NZ 2nd test

Bangla batting in the 1st Test was a surprise. If they can do the same again, draw definitely goes short.

not that much of a surprise. they scored 500+ in Galle not so long ago. they bat well in Asia.

You could argue their batting (in Asia anyway) is stronger than Pak's

Odds on hometeam look big for me http://www.cricketscore.com/match/dEMot2tk/#odds-comparison;1x2-odds;full-time, have to take some of that, never mind anything else. Bangladesh shown in the first test that they can fight!! Good Luck everyone!

Draw down to 1.76. Must be raining :-)

NZ have been steadily drifting for days. Now nearly 4, which makes them value IMO.

Bang win toss and bat.
presume not raining.

bangadesh bowled for sub 200, nz smash a quick 450, innings victory

Best site to watch it?

I am just following on http://www.espncricinfo.com/

Not found any streams.

Animul out. plus already dropped a catch.

Bangladesh look to be batting an ODI

RR 6.36

cheers

90/2

bangla 228/5 @ tea day one,draw still odds on,are they expecting weather disruptions ?

Perhaps its raining now ? draw just shifted 10 ticks down

covers on now

cheers -all becomes clear

even if the rest of today is washed out though.... does 228/5 deserve a draw price of 1.50 at the end of day 1? I mean that (228/5) could be a normal 90 over score in some games and I bet the draw is not 1.50 when that happens.....

or is there a lot of rain in the forecast for the following days?

likely rain all day tomorrow.

other days not so bad, Wednesday probably the clearest day but Thursday and Friday both look like they might have rain at some point, no idea how much if any time will be lost on those days though.

If they don't get any play tomorrow it would go along way towards killing the game anyway.

Started to rain very heavily again

Tyco, if you can, have a look at a weather forecasting site such as BBC Weather and type in Dhaka. I have just looked at it and there's going to be heavy rain/showers/cloud for the rest of the week.

Play called off for the rest of the day.

Got reasonable green on the draw & break even on Bang/NZ after a few trades. Tempted to top up on the draw given tomorrow's forecast. Could be beneath 1.1 by close tomorrow. Eventually, I'll be looking to gamble a small chunk of that profit laying the draw at very low odds as either team may try to force a result later in the game if the weather settles.

cant believe bangers are shorter than kiwis here.

Taking 20 wkts on this pitch will be a lot harder than scoring runs with the short boundaries. tomo's fc doesnt look the best
but rain was forecast everyday in chittagong and it failed to
arrive. Dhaka is also drier than chit usually and the monsoon season finishes in october so hopefully the rain is on the way
out.

early start tomo and subsequent days to make up lost time. If we
get 50+ overs in tomo i think kiwis win.

market slowly moving.

kiwi price correcting now. lovely

Got burnt a little laying the draw test 1. Still confident given enough overs of a result here, hard to say how much rain will show up tho. Agree with DJ think the draw will shorten considerably so will consider a good lay of the draw at shorter price.

Ross Taylor in an interview said he was confident of a result. Already bowlers footmarks showing up he said and this pitch is doing more than the one for the first test. Its a pity it may be weather dependant but the draw is lengthening so who knows the weather may be on the improve too.

weather looks ok today according to google lol. market agrees anyway. come on you kiwis

There ya go Lix..... in the money. well done and well spotted.

Backing the Bangers at change of inns.

that would not be a bad strategy there OzBattla. Their price has drifted too much I think. NZ batting can be brittle as well. There is more in this pitch than the last game.

after a truly dreadful month, a bit of green at last!

That's how I live Bangladesh to bat. Quickly and all out inside 80 overs

sweet collapse - layed 300 / 350 and didn't look good when the sun was out yesterday ! Be interesting to see how Bangla spin this 280 batting 1st might be a decent knock??

rain on the way? draw is coming in alarmingly...

Yep backed the Banglas at 9, seems a big price. NZ can collapse with ease, and they will have to bat last here as well. Banglas spinners will be far more effective. Wildcard is obviously the weather. Think Bang could get an attacking 250 second time in will be competitive.

They want to get the big fella round the wicket to chew those foot-holes up

anyone got a decent live stream for this?

2 quickies, lovely!

usually you can get a stream at extracover.net. But lately my computer has been shutting down automatically when watching cricket on the streams so I tend to try and avoid them. But that said it could be plaster dust creating havoc with the cooling fan.

whay NZ price is up, rain comming?

do not think so, draw would be falling then wouldnt it. I just think maybe not too much faith in NZ batting and bowling :)

sorry.. draw did come down a few ticks so maybe rain is brooding somewhere

Whats the extent of the Williamson injury??

Good catch

Cut on cheek bone near eye.

back out there now... This partnership massive.

rain again. Hope it is over by the end of tea. What a shame... this is turning out to be a great game.

Still raining.

no more play

Cricinfo says that it is pouring in nearby Mirpur and that it is unlikely that there will be any more play for the rest of the day.

Heavy rain now, may not be any more play today.
Same as yesterday.
Forecast not good for tomorrow.

maybe called it for the day - draw dropping fast?

Not called off yet but seems very likely. The various weather forecasts do not sing from the same songsheet and, depending on which is to be believed, we could have at least two rain free days within which a result could come or so many interruptions... .

Paste from cricinfo :

Our Bangladesh correspondent at the Shere Bangla, Mohammad Isam, informs me that the rain has reached unbelievable proportions and that there is now a deluge - he cannot see through it from the press box. We must regrettably expect play to be called off in short time.

thats it for today

draw from 1.75 to 2.3 an hour after stumps!

This market is all over the place and not quite right by my way of thinking. All 3 results still very possible, and NZ quite capable of getting skittled under 200 before lunch.

What price Banga then?? 6 at the moment seems way too big and NZ are too short

Could easily end up as a 1 innings game with 2+ days left. Weather looks better for Weds & Thurs. Agree with Stickon that Bang price looks generous. All my green is now on draw lay.

Wow, the draw back to 2.30... I watched the draw tumble from $3 into 1.73 when I turned off yesterday with the last session a wash out. Obviously better weather expected as it has bounced back again. My only trade so far is Bang back at $9, tempted to take the draw now to avoid a repeat of yesterday... Think market has NZ far too short and Bang still look value imo. Will hold off on the draw, cup the balls and hope for a full days play!

Morning anybody that's awake at this hour.
Covers on, rain about but brighter, hopefully delayed start.

Covers coming off, sun is out.
Fingers crossed.

Taylor out.

Big wicket right there - ball turning nicely. Bangla in a good position I reckon...

NZ pair moving along nicely. NZ price starting to move in at the expense of the draw. But rain tommorow and I still fancy the draw.

well done young Corey Anderson. You took your chance with both hands. Many were calling for you to be dropped to admit Wagner. Nice innings.

Backed Banglas at $26.

Good timing... Wicket. Need Anderson out now...

does anyone have a stream that is working? all my sites have started to show indaus or safpak

There must still be rain in the air for the draw to be so low (circa 2.50) NZ have a substantial lead but will have to bat 4th. Either way if there are 2 full days including the extra half hour at the start of the day I cannot see anything but a result in this game.

Well done to NZ, getting a 150+ lead has put a stranglehold on this game. Pretty committed with the Banglas here, so might hold fire and see how things pan out today. My hope is for the Banglas to get quick runs and score 250-280 leaving NZ with a nasty little run chase of 130-150 on day 5.

There is also talk here in NZ that McCullum may well declare overnight to give Boult and Bracewell a crack in the early morning with the new ball.... That should help the odds of both NZ and Bangladesh.

Have you taken a look at the weather forecast for Friday its horrific
This is the best site Ive ever used for forecasts, as advised ages ago on here by Nigel

http://www.yr.no/place/Bangladesh/Dhaka/Dhaka/

NZ will declare overnight and hope to skittle out the Banglas cheap BUT the banglas will view a drawn series as a huge result. Im green all over but have shifted quite a chunk towards a draw

Looks like we could lose half the overs Friday. So NZ declaring would be a good move to get a result.

What chance Bangla score 280+ in say 90 overs? That's what I estimate is needed for a draw. Assuming my rain assessment is correct.

Its all down to the weather forecast
BBC have just updated the forecast to more or less match YR.NO

I honestly think we have one day left cause when it rains in Dhaka it rains

What price Ban out for less than 250 in 65 overs leaving NZ an hundred and odd in 25??

Should NZ be odds on??

lol BBC now has Friday fine.

NZ 100 odd in 25 would have NZ at 1.20 surely. In fact probably less but this market can be fickle.

it's definitely a tricky one with tomorrow's forecast. NZ should be able to roll them today, but depends on the weather tomorrow. Depends what time that rain hits!

weather just been updated. Forecast seems slightly better now
http://www.yr.no/place/Bangladesh/Other/M%C4%ABrpur~1194349/hour_by_hour.html

If NZ can just get say 3 wickets today (big ask I guess) then its all on for tomorrow. The game is not over till its over. That said... tomorrow... brings in the rain factor.

Wish the Bangers would speed things along now they reached the total... Don't mind wickets would like to see NZ have to chase 200.

draw surely hanging on for a collapse and that's it.

barring that a target of about 170 in 60 odd overs seems a fair prediction, and then you've got the rain to worry about.

mmm, not in a rush really are they, happy to play for a draw. I have backed NZ at $6 and again now at 9.

a terrible day for those hoping for a result but a big day for bangladeshi test cricket imho.

iqbal has never scored a half century with a lower strike rate than he did today, which along with Haque's patient ton, they have secured bangladesh a drawn series.

the first step to becoming a good test cricketing side is learning how not to lose matches and they deserve great praise for how they batted today.

Agree Dstyle... No good for me! haha but a mature performance from the Banglas.

DStyle thought exactly the same myself.They have matured as a Test nation, their patience over the last two tests has been unexpected.

australia would do well to take a leaf out of their book

as long as they keep talking nonsense about playing attacking cricket they'll continue to get a hiding off the better sides

At least the Bangas don't resort to time wasting and staid painful play like you soap dodgers.

that's all that you've got really isn't it?

a few gripes about england's attitrional style. it has some legitimacy for a side with aspirations to be the best in the world, but can you really ignore the series results?

australia's largest problem is that they think they are so much better than they are. they are weak and inconsistent. they have moments, but not enough. really not too different from pakistan.

England did Australia without getting out of second gear last summer - the Aussies seem to be convincing themselves that there

isn't much between the teams - in fact there is a huge gulf. Like your comment re Pakistan DStyle - imo Pakistans bowling is way

superior

just been reading this:

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/current/story/682037.html

of course dropping Katich was a huge mistake. I'd have no qualms about his playing in the last series or this one coming up. Mentally he's as tough as old boots and if playing Rogers in the last series wasn't admission of guilt, i don't know what was.

but the shocking thing about the article is the crap coming out of Sutherland's mouth. The problem is a lack of test batting talent, an inconsistent bowling attack combined with capricious selection and a captain that half the side hate.

No-one at cricket Australia should be in the slightest bit concerned about getting "the Australian team get back on top". They first of all need to stop being sh1t.  Once you've passed that milestone you can start thinking about becoming good. There is far too much belief in a bad side, and a reluctance to admit that the greatness of the last two decades is but a speck of dust in the rear view mirror.

ponting has absolutely slaughtered the chief exec sutherland in his book. only interested in generating money for CA and not the (dire) state of the national team

ludicrous half the team is currently going around india on a completely pointless 1 day series just a few weeks before the ashes recommences

Put some of my draw green on Bangla in case we get a decent amount of play and they roll NZ on a day 5 pitch.

can't believe the draw is 1.04. The covers are on, Nz need 7 wickets, then knock off the runs & more rain is forecast!
