Christchurch: Bangladesh’s young weapon has fired talks about the Hagley Oval into a cemetery to visit the team ahead of the second test against New Zealand in Christchurch on Sunday.
The black hat saw a beautiful city center of the city as a safe place and showed an impressive test record of six wins, losses and draw at the Oval.
The Emerald Wicket is in accordance with their swings and stitches and they hope to make up for their surprise loss to tourists in the first test.
But Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo said his team had a youth belief and was not impressed with the reputation of the Oval Hagley.
“They want to try and do what the Bangladesh side did before and it won a series in New Zealand,” he said.
“They are halfway, the job is not finished, but they are very encouraged to try and achieve something very special.” In the first test on Mount Maunganui, Bangladesh won by eight goats, seven New Zealand team members were over 30 and only two – Kyle Jamieson and Rachin Ravindra – were under 28.
On the side of Bangladesh’s Pamilan, eight players under 28 and Domingo said it was an important element in their preparation.
“This is a young side so they did not come here with all the scars that had gained several old players from playing against New Zealand many times,” he said.
Captain of New Zealand Tom Latham said he hoped Bangladesh would be confident but maintaining the factor Hagley would support New Zealand.
“This is a completely different surface with what is in mount and we know we have played some very good cricket here in recent years,” he said.
“With extra speed and bring it here according to our bowler.” Latham added New Zealand to have additional incentives to provide a farewell to the senior Batsman Ross Taylor, in his final test before retiring from international cricket.
“Hopefully we can celebrate a nice test Win and clear a great career too,” Captain said.
But Domingo warned New Zealand not to believe that they were the only team that benefited from the green goal.
“We have some quick bowlers that are really highly quality and not often Bangladesh can say that they really look forward to bowling on goal which has gotten a little grass on it,” he said.
“Opportunities like this do not often occur.
You are confident, you play well and you have a good balance on your side when and conditions, just crazy in sound, can actually be suitable for us.”
