Live Streaming Cricket | Bangladesh vs Newzealand | 2nd Test

Kindly discuss 'Live Streaming Cricket Links, Sopcasts & Webcasts' news in the comments section below.

The 2nd Test between Bangladesh and Newzealand gets underway at Dhaka on October 25, 2008. Live telecast on TV will start at 9:30 am local time (3:30 GMT). What makes the test interesting is the previous test between the two teams which ended a couple of days back. The touring Newzealand team were on the backfoot for the majority of the test, yet lead from the front by captain Vettori, they ensured that Bangladesh couldn't ensure a historic first test win over any major test playing nation. (They have beaten Zimbabwe once before).

Daniel Vettori scored half-centuries in each innings of the match and took 9 wickets in all - only the 3rd player in the history of the game to do so! After being bundled out for a paltry score in the 1st Innings it was Vettori's presence at the crease which ensured that Newzealand successfully chased a 4th innings total of 300+, which is always a difficult thing to do.

It should therefore be interesting to see how the 3rd Test at Dhaka unfolds - Bangladesh captain Ashraful would no doubt know that he is on the brink of making history and has the arsenal to do so. His own twin failures in the 1st test didn't help things for Bangladesh, and we all know that if Ashraful gets going, he is capable of taking on the very best in the business. Australia have once found that out before, will it be Newzealand this time?
