Southee and Jamieson take BCs into a 1st innings lead/

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 4:21 am**

NZ hits the lead through a very handy partnership between Southee and Jamieson.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 4:22 am**

Disciplined knock by Southee. He must be so tempted to go after the spinners.

Mominul quickly cleans up the last two wickets and NZ has a first innings lead of 7 runs.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 4:42 am**

And just like that, we are all out with a 7-run lead.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 7:30 am**

That's a great ninth wicket partnership, big difference between a few runs lead and a fifty run deficit.

It feels somehow odd to be praising Southee for his patient batting in that partnership but the skipper did well.

Uganda: T20 World Cup qualification 'a dream come true', says captain Brian Masaba

Uganda's qualification for the men's T20 World Cup in 2024 is a "dream come true", says their captain Brian Masaba.

Uganda have reached the tournament for the first time after a nine-wicket victory over Rwanda.

The win means the Cricket Cranes finish second in the African qualifiers in Windhoek, Namibia.

"We're still trying to process all the emotions," Masaba, 32, told the BBC World Service's Sportsworld.

"It's been a long process, a long journey. This is the culmination of a lot of sweat, blood and tears.

"As a team it was a very, very special moment for us."

Uganda will join Namibia, who qualified on Tuesday with a game to spare, at the tournament in the United States and the West Indies.

BCs not getting the calls today

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 6:18 am**

It's going to be an epic chase, whether its successful or not.

Advantage Bangladesh...

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 6:19 am**

Anything much over 300 is going to be very hard on this pitch but the BC bowlers are working very hard here.

311/8 now

322/9, a lead of 315 so far.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 6:43 am**

BCs need 332, and it ain't going to be easy. Tons of time left.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 6:47 am**

Chasing 300 in a 4th innings isn't something the BCs have built a reputation for doing.

It's time for Netflix now, my friend

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 7:52 am**

Netflix has never been a thing for me, so will have to take your word on that.

But with all the talent coming through, I wouldn't be surprised if his days in the Black Caps are numbered.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 7:54 am**

Third wicket down for 30 runs. We are fucked, lads.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 7:55 am**

He seemed to be Williamson's successor as test captain, but was overlooked for Southee. Coincidence?

I'm not up with nicknames for BC players. Who is this?

60/5

We could be in a spot of bother...

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 9:28 am**

Did we honestly think that the result would be different once we lost the toss?

Probably write this test off as the practise test - no warm up and Banger conditions are even more challenging than India.

Gotta win that toss......

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 5:27 pm**

Man, the NZ slow bowlers (some call the spinners but they don't) have been ineffective. When they make up 30% of your team, that's a paddling folks.

Where's Wagner?

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 5:33 pm**

Boys, scrambling around is not manly......

Bangladesh far too good.

Interesting to see Mitchell Johnson take a swipe at David Warner, pretty much saying he's not worthy of a national hero's "farewell tour" given his central role in the sandpaper scandal. Hard to disagree, imho. Besides, Warner had his moments, but does anyone really rate him among Australia's finest ever top-order batters worthy of all the fanfare?

Probably not in the top ten of Aussie openers.

And a cheat to boot.

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2023 9:48 pm**

I don't take to Warner, but it's not much of a dig to say people like Taylor, Langer and Hayden were better as openers. Warner is probably on a par with someone like Slater.

But should someone that level, who was banned for cheating, be celebrated in the way he is?
