New Zealand vs Bangladesh 1st Test: Any talk of Kiwis not taking match seriously is rubbish - Stephen Fleming

New Zealand vs Bangladesh 1st Test: Former captain Stephen Fleming congratulated the visitors for their first-ever Test win in New Zealand and rubbished any speculation that the reigning World Test Champions did not take the match seriously.

Any talk of New Zealand not taking the first Test against Bangladesh seriously is "rubbish", former captain Stephen Fleming has said. Fleming congratulated Bangladesh on their historic eight-wicket victory in the first Test in Mount Maunganui, which marked the first time that the team had won any Test match in New Zealand. Any talk of @BLACKCAPS taking this test match lightly is rubbish. @BCBtigers won a nice toss and played a great test. Congratulations to @BCBtigers and staff on making history. Really looking forward to the second test.
