Everyone looked at the toss after seeing the green wicket of Christchurch. However, Kiwi captain Tom Latham did not want to match the toss and the wicket with the outcome of the match. However, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl first. But the Kiwis have held a single dominance since the beginning of the day. Bangladesh fast bowlers managed to take only one wicket in the whole day.
The way the Bangladeshi fast bowlers shook the opponent’s foundation in the Mount Manganui Test, they could not hold it in Christchurch. On the day of Ebadat Hossain, Taskin Ahmed or Shariful’s random bowling, the Kiwis gave away two centuries. Pace bowling coach Otis Gibson did not want to make any excuses for admitting the failure of the pacers.
“They (New Zealand) must have played very well,” Gibson told a news conference at the end of the first day on Sunday. Unfortunately, this is not the case with the bowling that we showed last week. Latham played very well. He left us a lot of good balls in the morning and forced us to force his body. The pressure that we were able to create last week, we have not been able to make a good enough ball to do it this time. ‘ Tiger pacers decorated the bowling bowls.
“Looking at the green of the wicket, we don’t seem to have done as much as expected,” Gibson said. But I don’t want to use this as an excuse. We did not bowl as well as we should have done. ‘The experience of Bangladeshi fast bowlers in Tests is negligible. According to the Tigers’ pace bowling coach, Ebadat is our most experienced pacer after playing 12 matches. Shariful is playing his third or fourth Test, Taskin has played 9. Looking at their inexperience and learning from those who reached that place last week, today is also a day of learning for them. International cricket is a difficult matter. One has to be prepared here for every situation. Unfortunately, we did not show last week’s discipline today. “

The mentality was good today. We just weren’t as organized as we needed to be. That being said, our idea was that the support on the wicket would be more than enough. When we bowled at full length, there was not much seam movement. The New Zealand bowlers have used it, “he added.
