BAN Vs NZ, 1st Test

Two Test matches were scheduled to be played between Bangladesh and New Zealand. A match was abandoned after New Zealand won two of the three-match ODI series. Two Test matches were then scheduled to be held but the Test batch could not be held to allow the start of the ICC World Cup. However, in this test match, Bangladesh Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Das, Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman are missing several players. So Bangladesh has arranged this Test with completely new players. So what can I assume Bangladesh is going to lose to New Zealand by a huge margin in this test? As Shakib Al Hasan has just been selected as an MP candidate, he may be busy with the election. But some more experienced players needed to be included in the squad for this Test.
1st session of test match end Bangladesh after winning the toss and decided to bat first in sylhet. Bangladesh current score is 104 run in loss of 2 wickets. Mahmudul Hasan Joy is playing at 42 runs alongside with Mominul Haque who is just 3 runs. NewZealand picked 2 wickets in first session bowling performance is outstanding Ajaz Patel who picked 1 wicket of Zakir Hasan at 12 score and Glenn Phillips pick the important wicket of Najmul Hossain Shanto who is captain of Bangladesh team playing very well scores 35 runs in just 37 balls in test match against New Zealand. But unfortunately out and miss his well deserved fifty by 15 runs short.

Nazmul Hasan Shanto batted in ODI style today and was dismissed by Glenn Phillips with 37 runs from 35 balls. This is the playing style of the Bangladesh captain, batting irresponsibly like this in today's match, especially in the Test match, does not make sense. In fact Bangladeshi batsmen will never learn anything from cricket. Bangladeshi batsmen could not master how to bat in any match. As a supporter of Bangladesh, I did not expect such a game.

Shanto's batting styles..
37 runs off 35 balls with 4s(2), 6s(3)

Things are not looing good for New Zealand. They lost the toss and quite predictably Bangladesh chose to bat first. And this means that Kiwis need to bat during the 4th innings at the minefield in Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. And Bangladesh has included quite a few spinners for this match, including Nayeem Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam. If Bangladesh sets a total in excess of 350, then the first challenge for New Zealand would be to avoid follow on. And their batting track record in Bangladesh is not that great.

Finally, the new test series is arrived and this is a series of Bangladesh vs New Zealand. Bangladesh team is not good in all formats so of course they performed in this test series as they performed in the whole World Cup 2023.

I am pretty sure that this series will be won by New Zealand. Bangladesh team will miss Shakib Al Hasan in tomorrow's match, we see a match after such a long time, where Shakib is not present in the match. We want to see him but sadly he is retired now, his time has been over now we never see him in any test match again.

The first Test of New Zealand vs Bangladesh will be played tomorrow at the Zahoor Ahmed Stadium in Chittagong. Nazmul Hasan Shanto has been announced as the captain of this test team. But there are not many experienced players in this Test match, let's see how the Bangladesh team plays. Shakib Al Hasan is unable to play the Test series due to hand injury after playing against Sri Lanka. The world's best all-rounder is now busy with his re-election. As a Bangladeshi cricket fan, I never want Bangladesh to lose this test series. Due to the current playing situation of Bangladesh, the team needed a batsman like Tamim Iqbal. Although the equation says that Bangladesh has played a total of 11 Test series against New Zealand out of which Bangladesh has drawn three and New Zealand has won eight series. Bangladesh has not won a Test series against New Zealand so far, now let's see if Bangladesh can win this series?

Yes, that is good. You should support your country. But statistic can't be wrong and in my opinion if some changes happen in Bangladeshi team ,it can improve it's performance. In my opinion, if  policies occur in cricket team not only Bangladeshi team but also big team can't win any match and any series. So, Bangladeshi cricket should think on this and they should show petriotism with country. In next year, T20 World cup will happen and Bangladeshi team should prepare for next T20 World Cup. Bangladeshi Cricket team could not win any ICC tournament and for becoming champion you should mentally super strong. In World Cup final ,India lose the final and Australian is Victorious,Indian team could not handle pressure in final. So Bangladeshi Cricket team should prepare for future.
2023 World Cup Bangladesh was a failed mission now Bangladesh players should forget the 2023 World Cup failure and move forward. Under Nazmul Hasan Shanto's captaincy, Bangladesh will take the field in the first Test of the series against New Zealand at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on November 28. The world's best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is not in the team. The 2023 World Cup was dropped from the World Cup due to finger pain while playing against Sri Lanka. Due to this injury, the world's best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was also dropped from the two-Test series against New Zealand. We will miss our trusted all-rounder in this Test series. We who are Bangladeshi cricket fans must hope that our world best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan recovers and returns to the field very soon.

It does not matter if you are a fan of Bangladesh or not. I don't think it is going to be a good idea to expect anything good from Bangladesh in test format. Because Bangladesh is absolutely trash in the test format. I still do not understand how they actually have the test status to be honest. Bangladesh is actually the best in ODI. But we all have seen the politics that has been going around with Bangladesh cricket. That’s why the form is not good at all right now. And this a rough patch Bangladesh is going through right now and it’s going to get better

Brother,in my opinion New Zealand is not that team that will lose against Bangladesh in Bangladesh. If you saw their performance in World Cup ,you make sense New Zealand is legendary team and Bangladeshi team have low confidence ,lack of strategy ,lack of planning and lack of skills. Once, Bangladeshi team performed well and lose series against Pakistan and South Africa but now this team has no capability to lose series against New Zealand. New Zealand fielders are very hard working and they stop 30 to 35 against any team . And their captain ,Tim Southee is playing good and they will come in ground with good strategy. They will win this series. Bangladeshi team should work on theirselves and they should work hard.
Bangladesh can be a team that's unbalance interms of performance and there's absolutely nothing to be done for the purpose to increase the performance, however things do actually change and the underrated poor team can transform to be one of the outstanding team that's capable of weighing the strength of other elite teams. New Zealand is overhyped  they're ordinary and touchable like any other team in the league, all they need is a team that can withstand and absorb their pressure and reciprocate in double actions which will definitely become difficult for New Zealand to handle.
I didn't understand why you are defending Bangladeshi team . Bangladeshi team played 9 matches in World Cup and Won only two matches against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. They lose against New Zealand , Pakistan , Australia ,India, England, South Africa and Netherland also. So my question is why are you saying this Bangladesh can win this series against New Zealand which is in full form and they are hard working men. In my opinion ,you should see the Statistics of New Zealand and Bangladeshi team which team lose more matches in this year. Bangladeshi team will play on its home ground  and they lose series and New Zealand will be victorious. Brother New Zealand played good performance in World Cup ,they won 5 matches out of 9 matches and they are ready to beat any team.
Brother,why are you defending Bangladeshi team that are lacked in skills and Why you believe that they will win?
op is absolutely right we as Bangladeshis want to support Bangladesh and speak good things about Bangladeshi players. But the performance of the 2023 World Cup Bangladesh has been worst by the Bangladesh team. Tamim Iqbal not in squad due to some dirty politics of BCB declared World Cup team excluding Tamim Iqbal lost miserably in whole world cup. 2023 World Cup The way Afghanistan has performed, Afghanistan has played a really commendable game. Of course, I will expect from the Bangladesh team that they play well against New Zealand and win the Test series. So that we can forget the failed mission of 2023 World Cup.

In last 24 years we have nothing special from the Bangladesh in any format which is the biggest disappointment for the fans and I believe in these circumstances their management is also doing nothing for the improvement of quality and performance which is really the worst thing happening here in this country after worst performance in last world cup they need to work on their domestic structure and improve their quality and other things which helps players for the better results and improvement in quality.

Now New Zealand is in Bangladesh for the test matches and many expecting good performance from them, but they need to give their best on supportive pitches instead of going to for favorable pitches which are surely not going to help their players for having better results with their current performance level.

You are right, currently the condition of the Bangladesh team is very bad. Looking at Bangladesh's World Cup matches, it is clear that they will not be able to do well in the Test series against New Zealand. Bangladesh currently both batting line and bowling line are in very bad condition, they should practice well. Although Bangladesh will play the Test series at home, seeing the current performance of Bangladesh, nothing good can be expected from them. There will be 2 matches in this test series, I think Bangladesh will lose easily. Besides, Shakib Al Hasan, one of Bangladesh's players, is not staying in this series, Taskin is not staying, if they were there, the team would have been stronger. Bangladesh players should perform well and compete against New Zealand. 2 day practice match between Bangladesh and New Zealand will start from today.

It may not be proper to predict their test performance based on the ODI results. But then, these issues have been there for quite some time. Only occasion when Bangladesh performs well against top sides is when they have the undue advantage of playing at home on doctored tracks. When they don't have that advantage, they surrender meekly. The loss to Netherlands during ODI World Cup was a big shock to fans back home. At this point, only Liton Das is performing consistently. Others are inconsistent, and players like Shakib and Mahmudullah are approaching retirement age.

Pakistani Cricket board chairman Zika Ashraf work like so un professional, he hired one of normal un experience player for different important roles like they make Hafeez as a head coach while Wahab Riaz as a chief selector what a sh***t it is. I thought they will make Rizwan as a captain, but they select Shan which is unexpected and unacceptable. Now news has come out that they select Umer Gul and Saeed Ajmal as a fast and spin bowling coaching which look fair. But anyway such entire mess will end with a worst results and may be new chairman will hire, and entire things will change. But to be honest it will really damage entire things like team Unity and some other stuff which took alot time to settle but now ruined with few days or weeks now let see how Shan can take responsibility of captaincy
The issue stems from the top with the power struggle with every chairman, three PCB chairman in the last 3 years and you cannot expect the team to settle down and perform well and you cannot blame the team for their performance during the World Cup and as usual the captain will be the scapegoat after the failure in a major tournament and a major shuffle in the team and historically it has not helped them and i do not see that changing either.

@Sithara007 I wonder if people really want to see test cricket right away because I’m feeling they’ll be tired with seeing so much cricket and thus I won’t be surprised if the viewers ship is lowest for this series. Lastly New Zealand will be hurting from their World Cup exit and hence I feel they could perform much better against Bangladesh and probably even win the series.

Even I don't have much interest in this series. As usual, Bangladesh will prepare grounds that favor their spinners and New Zealand batsmen will struggle against the local conditions. The Kiwis used to be one of the strongest test teams until 2-3 years ago. But the retirement of some of the key players, such as Colin de Grandhomme, Neil Wagner and BJ Watling seems to have had a negative impact. But at the same time, induction of fresh blood in the form of Rachin Ravindra should boost their prospects from now on.

Pakistan's time in cricket is already started for the poor results and many mess-ups because as things going most chances they will be whitewashed again in Australia personal likes and egos are bigger than from game for few peoples, and they are doing all for the worst Wahab Riaz is new Chief Selector with Mohammad Hafeez is having post for the Head Coach for the tour of Australia really shameful changes.

Shan Masood is also going for his first tour and this is going to be nightmare for him as well most of the bowlers are below then average for the Australian tour and Wahab Riaz is also not happy with Haris Rauf's decision about Australian tour after worst end of the World Cup now many more results like this are waiting for them until they have no powerful and professional person like Ramiz Raja.

Glad to see that I can post about the ICC World Test Championship once more. The world cup fever has died down, and the fact that India once again lost at the last stage after performing so well in group stage will definitely help in shifting attention away from the limited overs format. The IPL is at least 3-4 months away, and till now the attention will be on test cricket. In a week's time, the WTC is going to resume with the match between Bangladesh and New Zealand. The first match will be played at Sylhet. New Zealand is going to struggle, as they have done against Bangladesh while playing under sub-continental conditions.

The test series is coming soon after such a long time, and the series is coming in between Bangladesh vs New Zealand, and of course, New Zealand is a good team and of course, they are better than the Bangladesh team in all formats but there are just test series of them right now so we are just seeing both teams accordingly and no doubt New Zealand is better than Bangladesh also in the tests.

If we check this battle on the ranking so New Zealand has fifth position in the ranking of tests and in the other hand, Bangladesh has 9th position in the ranking of tests, and Zimbabwe is in the last position, I accept Bangladesh is not a good team but at least they are average team but this position is such a down position. Don't think we may be able to see any good close matches  Huh
