Bangladesh’s young guns have dismissed talk of Hagley Oval being a graveyard for visiting teams ahead of the second Test against New Zealand on Sunday.
The Black Caps see the picturesque central city ground as a safe haven and point to an impressive Test record of six wins, a loss and a draw at the Oval. The emerald wicket suits their swing and seam attack and they expect to atone for their shock loss to the tourists in the first Test.
But Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo said his side had the confidence of youth and were not worried about Hagley Oval’s reputation. “They want to try and do what no other Bangladesh side’s done before and that’s win a series in New Zealand,” he said.
