Reckon Rashid should be dropped. Doesn’t get enough wickets.

Obviously Buttler will get motm and Gayle will get a lot of plaudits, but 60-4 from a quick bowler in a game like that is unbelievably good, and probably the match winning performance

Wood’s was an excellent performance, but that Buttler innings was just incredible. Plunkett inexplicably went at 5 an over too, all in all a very good and silly game.

And Stokes got thumped horribly in parts but bowled Gayle

Lovely posting, this

Bangladesh in a spot of bother after making 234 and seeing NZ at 308/1 after 78 overs. Some lovely hat-based chat on CricInfo beginning at over 70, where the introduction of a floppy hat leads conclusively to Raval’s downfall. At least Jeet made his maiden test ton:

Meanwhile Tom Latham is a few boundaries from going 12th on NZ’s all time test career list and a few dullards still don’t rate him.

Aye, our mutual friend, Latham is solid.

Did people see this? Very surprising to me, he’d just made himself a mainstay of their bowling, and with Morkel retired internationally and Steyn nearing the end, it would have been him and Rabada spearheading the attack for the foreseeable. Great news for Yorkshire I guess.

WORLD CUP!
