Bangladeshis vs Auckland, Tour Match at Auckland, , Dec 21 2007 - Cricket Photos

Jamie Siddons, the Bangladesh coach, has said the team's stunted progress in Tests is because of the previous team management's short-term goals

Stephen Fleming, the former New Zealand captain, has denied that he is on the verge of retiring after rumours began circulating during the second Test against Bangladesh in Wellington

There was no brave rearguard partnership, no stubborn resistance which delayed the inevitable on the third day in Wellington as New Zealand crushed Bangladesh by an innings and 137 runs in less than seven sessions

The Wellington Test seemed destined for the same conclusion as the first in Dunedin, with Bangladesh in danger of slipping to yet another defeat inside three days
