Black Caps in India

@Chris-B. said in Black Caps in India:
Haven't quite taken the wickets fast enough - they're 125/6 effectively 237/6.
Hard to think we can get 250 to win batting last, let alone any more. Someone would have to do something special! About the only trump card we have is that they've only got two seamers.
Yeah we are done, I was holding out hope that each wicket would lead to another flurry of wickets and keep the lead to 200ish. If we had worlds best batsmen Kane we could have been right in this with a few more on the board in our first dig.

A touch of nostalgia seeing Jeets go for more than 6 an over....

Well he did only arrive in India 24 hours before the start of the test...
-
Plan for tonight - send Guppy out in his ODI uniform and tell him to fucking go for it. He won't last more then 10 overs so he may as well smack 80 odd in that time.
-
Sooo....just 376 to win.
From the Monty Burns school of coaching ("You, Strawberry...hit a home run. .... I told him to do that!"), I'm pretty confident that if Guppy and Nicholls can each score a decent hundred then we'll win. Surely the others can do enough batting around them.
There's the formula boys! Get to it!

11 down 375 to go. Good start.

I never had an opinion of Jadeja before but after this series I can't stand the fluffybunny.
Tucker shares my sentiments it appears.
Arrogant prick.
-
Tucker explains to Kohli the fucking simple fact that the bowler can't charge across the pitch scuffing up the footmarks and he walks away shaking his head.
Seriously, fuck this Indian team.
-
Oh, and on the LBW shout.
Indian comm: "clearly hitting middle stump".
Doull: "I can understand Jadeja's frustration as it was another decision that was pretty plumb".
Me: "Possibly clipping off stump, difficult to tell without Hawkeye so good decision".Oh look, cricinfo agree with me:
"Jadeja to Latham, no run, humongous lbw appeal from Jadeja, and earns himself a warning for running across the danger area while appealing. Latham looked to sweep from the stumps, and it pitched in line but didn't straighten enough to hit off stump, I think. Plus Latham took a really long stride forward. Just missing off stump, according to the Hawkeye tool on our scorecard"The more LBWs that go against India the better. It's a fucking travesty if it goes against the team that wants to use DRS.
-
Now screaming for one that hit Latham miles outside off stump. Jadeja is taking the piss.
