We’ve seen some bad reviews since DRS came in but this one by Bangladesh in the Test against New Zealand may just take the cake.
Having secured a handy first-innings lead Bangladesh were keen to keep the pressure on the Black Caps and knew they had a big opportunity if they got through the top order.
But the side wasted plenty of reviews and it may come back to haunt them.
Opening bowler Taskin Ahmed was convinced that he hit Ross Taylor’s front toe first and convinced his captain to go upstairs on their final review.
On replay, the commentators couldn’t help but laugh at the referral which smashed into the middle of Taylor’s bat.

I saw this live, but I know it's late - yet, I'm watching Ind v SA and realised they have 3 referrals per innings. So there's potentially 6 unsuccessful challengable (Is this a word?) wickets by either side over 10 wickets in a completed innings? There is something in my mind which says there is something wrong with this. Can't put my finger on it, but it's like a legal system that allows 5 avenues of appeal. Albeit not for the same batter I assume.

I think both IND/SA & BAN/NZ seems to be entertaining than Ashes matches were. I think NZ may still win here if they can roll Bangladesh out in last innings with a decent lead.

I say just F it and get the Tigers in to replace England and Wales entirely.

Maybe that’s something we could look into next Ashes tour down here: have a side like Bangladesh lined up to come on over should England lose the series in 3 or 4 tests …

Two years ago? They've only been invited to Australia once - nearly 20 years ago, in our winter. Last time we played them, 4 years ago (ridiculous)....they beat us in the First Test at Dhaka.
