New Zealand falter after Franklin hat-trick](http://uk.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/CRICKET_NEWS/2004/OCT/078978_BDESHNZ2004-05_20OCT2004.html)
James Franklin: took a hat-trick and ensured that Bangladesh’s tail wouldn’t offer too much resistance
The slow, low bounce of the Bangabandhu pitch made batting uncomfortable for New Zealand, who were at 133 for 4 at tea. Manjural Islam and Mohammad Rafique, bowling flattish left-arm spin, made the ball dip and turn slightly, and New Zealand’s batsmen nicked and edged the ball as they attempted to break free, finding the weight of scoring runs growing a little more with every tight over.
In the middle of it all, Mathew Sinclair (73 not out) stood firm, changing his game according to the nature of situation. At first he attacked loose balls, of which there were plenty from the opening bowlers, but tightened up when Stephen Fleming, Scott Styris and Nathan Astle fell in quick succession (122 for 4). The drives made way for a dead bat when the spinners operated, but when the fast men were back, his approach reverted to its attacking self. Tapash Baisya had taken stick early on, as had Tareq Aziz, and were driven and cut as they failed to get their bowling bearings right.
Rafique had struck early in the morning, after James Franklin (5 for 28) ran though Bangladesh to capture a hat-trick and his first five-wicket haul. Though Rafique did nothing as spectacular, his bowling in tandem with Manjural made for a fascinating duel with the batsmen. Some balls stayed low, some bounced high, and a lot did nothing at all. Mark Richardson tried to cut Rafique and found the ball staying low. It took the edge of his bat on the way to the wicketkeeper. Fleming fell the same way, with another ball not bouncing enough. Astle misjudged the bounce of one when he inadvertently cut it straight to first slip, where Manjural grabbed the ball. Styris’s dismissal was freakish; he struck one to leg, where it whacked Rajin Saleh at short leg, who recovered to catch the ball after it looped up.
This session breathed new life into a match that had threatened to become one-sided when Bangladesh added slightly to their overnight score to be all out for 177. Franklin swung the ball around off stump and the tail almost gifted away their wickets. Manjural nicked a delivery from Franklin that swung slightly before a run had been scored in the morning (165 for 7). Then Rafique went the same way, but edged the ball to Styris at second slip. Tapash Baisya offered no shot to a ball that pitched in line with the stumps and came back to crash into the wickets (165 for 9), to make Franklin only the second New Zealander – after after Peter Petherick, who achieved the feat against Pakistan at Lahore in 1976-77 – to take a hat-trick in Tests.
It’s not yet even-stevens, and Bangladesh have given hope and fallen flat in the past, but if they get an early breakthrough, and New Zealand due to bat last on a pitch taking more spin … hey, you never know.
BD 177 all out.
NZ latest 135/4
NZ finishes the day at 207/5 a lead of 30 runs.
NZ 378/9.
Looks like an innings defeat for BD coming up.
NZ 402 all out.
BD 41/2.
Innings defeat coming up.
ehsan bhai, baray zoq-o-shoq se Bengladeshi series follow kar rahay hayn, kheriat to hay na??? move to nahi honay lagay Bengladesh? :D

NZ won by an innings and 99 runs.

I think that Bangladesh will be ripped off it's test status within the next year and it might be given to Kenya.
