A day of class shown by Latham, Young and Conway. So, A normal service resumes in New Zealand.
An impressive response by the world champion in the opening day in Christchurch after their first test defeat against Bangladesh. Bangladesh bowlers couldn't do anything at day 1, but bowlers must come back tomorrow. The pitch looks more batting friendly than bowling, we'll see how Bangladesh batters encounter back!

The bowlers has nothing to do in that condition. New Zealand has already made a great score and I think they will try to add 300+ more runs tomorrow before giving the declaration of their first innings. Everything will depend on the performance of Bangladeshi batsman. The match will be drawn if they can take the benefits of pitch condition. Otherwise they will lose by an innings if they show their poor form.

Yes a 600 plus score is looking really possible as newzealand are only one wicket down and their run raye is already very high and may be after few overs tomorrow newzealand will try to score much mor faster. Now the onus will be on the Bangladesh batsman to survive as long as possible and try to enforce the draw in thia match.

Underdog BAN beating WTC Champions at their own backyard.
Troubled South Africa beating India (Arguably the best travelling team in last 3-4 years).
3 one sided matches but finally English team showing some sort of intent and managed to pull one of the fine escape in the Ashes.

Yeah, this year started differently for test cricket indeed.

It is time for WTC champion to prove themselves and they started the second test in that way. They teared the Bangladesh's bowling attack by scoring at the run rate of around 4. There will be chances for them to square the series with an innings victory.

I read that Kohli to return back to lead India in Cape town and Mohammed Siraj might be replaced by Ishant Sharma. Not sure why India failed to show the batting depth in 2nd match but we can expect them to fight hard as the series is in line.

England may fight hard due to the morale they got from 4th match but Hobart is a fatten pitch hence another draw might be possible.

There is nothing wrong with what the Australian captain did? He knew that the English team is struggling this season and wanted Khawaja to get this century for his record. England needs 352 runs to win this match which I think is still not achievable considering their past performance. Australia has already won 3 matches and they will be looking for a win in this match too.

Australia could have declared the innings as soon as Usman Khawaja scored a history century in both innings, instead they played for a while and unless they lost two quick wickets in consecutive balls they declared the innings, if they declared as soon as Usman Khawaja scored his century they would get around 18 to 20 overs for the day.

England lost their first wicket and how long they will survive in this match is to be seen and Scott Boland took the wicket and whether we will see another magical spell is to be seen Cheesy

.

Look like England will survive this test match and this will end in a draw. Around 7 overs left in the day and they till have two wickets in hand. I am not sure if they will play all the remaining overs in the day or the dim light will call the day off early and England will be thankful for that.

Somehow England managed to draw the match. If one more wicket have fallen for England it could be a win for Australia. In this match it is John Baristow who is the key for such a draw, because he scored good in the first innings as well as managed to keep the partnership with players even when there is consecutive wicket fall. When there were 40 overs left and 200 runs required to win the match I believed it could turn towards England.

That is basically a win for Australia but for the records it is a draw because of some stupid rule by ICC. Player of the match is well deserved Usman Khawaja. 137 in the first innings and 101 in the second. Meanwhile in Newzealand VS Bangladesh Latham can easily reach his double century as because of him Newzealand had a good start.

It can't be said in such a way, because during the last 18 balls Australia did the best, but they weren't able to take the final wicket to mark the winning.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh match have interested most of the cricket enthusiasts once after the win from Bangladesh against New Zealand in the first test match. Today something interesting happened in the match scoring 7 runs from a single ball. Umpire used both his hands to give sign of 7 runs Cheesy

New Zealand VS Bangladesh

Bangladesh won the toss and was elected to field first. The team batting later in this field of Christchurch gets more advantage. Bangladesh's decision to field first was right. However, New Zealand played great on the first day. They lost only 1 wicket and collected 349. Conway is unbeaten on 99 and Latham is unbeaten on 186. Although Bangladesh's innings has not started yet, I do not think there is a possibility of Bangladesh winning this match. The pitch will assist the pace bowlers. New Zealand's bowling lineup is very strong.

The pitch seems to be completely batting friendly. However, many cricket experts said that the pitch would be in favor of pace bowlers. But the pace bowlers of Bangladesh could not do any good performance.
Now, if Bangladesh wants to draw the match, the batsmen of Bangladesh must play well. New Zealand will probably play 2 sessions of the next day. Bangladesh will have to stay at the crease for at least until the third day. Otherwise it will be an easy win for New Zealand.

Edit

Just look at the field, ngl it gives boner to every test fanatic. Grin

Anyways 3 stunning results so far, 2022 looking good.

Troubled South Africa beating India (Arguably the best travelling team in last 3-4 years).

Exciting end of dead rubber match (in context of series), only England is capable of doing such thing. At least they fought hard in this match and interestingly Australia keep failing to close the game at SCG, 2 back to back match, first against India and today against England. May be bowlers are running out of carrot in a long run.

No more points farming for Australia. One more draw plz Tongue

A boring match ended in a boring way. Australia clearly won this test, but the archaic ICC rules helped England secure a draw instead. 1 wicket remaining(Both bowlers) and trailing behind by a decent margin : Draw?

Illogical crap to be honest. I feel sad for the Australians. These stupid ICC rules are seriously sucking the excitement out of tests.

How can you say that this match was boring? The match was too exciting that one team was so close to the win while other team last two batsmen were not letting them win the match. There are a display of excitement, anxiety and hope from both the sides.

Again why do you again think that ICC rules for the test match sucks? If there was no end time to the match, then the match would not have been exciting as everyone would know that Australia will win. It's only the limited time duration that made the match interesting.

Christchurch is another flat pitch in New Zealand? I thought Bangladesh miss the greater opportunity to take advantage of this match by batting first. Let's see when will Bangladesh bat on this match; I guess only on day-3 and New Zealand might set 600 to 700 runs to chase down for Bangladesh with both the innings.

Pitch was dark green, some would say ridiculous amount of grass in comparison of subcontinent but it didn't misbehaved at all except few balls.

You must be a genius to predict the draw outcome of this match. After Smith picked the wicket of Jack Leach, I thought pacers will easily scalp James Anderson for leg before but surprisingly he survived all last six balls to break the dreams of Aussies about winning the Ashes 5-0.

The second test match between Newzealand VS Bangladesh has started. Bangladesh won the toss and choose to bowl first. I am not sure why did the choose to bowl first as Newzealand has already scored more 348 runs with the loss of only 1 wicket. Latham has already scored 186 run and might reach his double century.

Things look difficult for England (once again, as has been the case all through the series). They have 7 wickets remaining and need to survive some 60 plus overs. And for the first time, Nathan Lyon looked like the most lethal bowler in the Australian lineup. He, along with Scott Boland and Cameron Green picked one wicket apiece. If there is no rain interruption, it will be extremely hard for England to avoid a loss. But they will be having some hope as long as Joe Root (currently on 13 n.o) is out there. Personally I believe that the chances of a draw is close to nill.

I have a feeling that the Australian captain waited for too long before declaring. A target of 350 or so would have been enough, but they wanted Usman Khawaja to complete his century. The target for England was kept at 388. Ideally, they should have declared at least 10-15 overs before that and should have scored some quick runs towards the end. Cameron Green was scoring runs at a good rate, but Khawaja slowed down considerably, in order to focus on his ton. This may cost Australia the match and the opportunity to go 4-0 up in the series.

I think the chances of a draw in this match are not low yet. The Australian team is experienced. So they declared their innings before the end of the fourth day. The good news for England is that they did not lose a wicket on the fourth day. They will have 10 wickets on the fifth day. England do not expect to win by batting for 388 runs. Their goal is to draw.
If you want to draw the match, Root, Stokes and Bairstow must play a role. If these three players can play well then England can expect to win. Because no other player of the team is in the form now. The match will be a draw even if the two openers play the first full session, but it is almost impossible for them.

Pitch is complete road, weather forecast is not promising as well so draw seems fair outcome but this is English team we're talking about. They have a unique talent of collapsing even on flat wicket and they could make this test interesting. Having said that i do want to see them drawing this match and stop Aussie from farming points or stat padding. Grin
