Black Caps in India
-
Rohit rides his luck for a while then Boult cleans him up with a beauty! He's bowling very very well right now, bodes well for the summer.
-
Boult 2/5 from 3. Southee 0/26 from 3.
Hmmmn.

Business as usual has resumed.

There was a time when Southee was hitting the 140s as well and was world class. Now he bowls in the low 130s and is as erratic as anything. Not sure what happened to him.
-
Boult is putting on an absolute masterclass in the heat.
-
why do we persist with Southee? hrumph.
he's the Willy Watson 2.0 - i.e a medium-pace plonker
-
Been a good start apart from Santner dropping Kohli, that will likely come back to haunt us.

Brilliant first game. Where are all the posts knocking Latham now?? Stoked he seems to have found his niche. Nothing wrong with being more Sangakkara than Gilchrist. Great chance to win a series in India now!
That's a strange comment. Latham was terrible for a good chunk of last summer and deserved criticism. He has been replaced as an opener so now we have to use Munro there. He's a good player but his future probably has to be up the order as he is isn't seen as a long term keeper.

@no-quarter Kohli only got another 80-odd after that drop.
Normally one would be pissed off that a drop batsmen went on to get a hundy, but he didn't score overly quickly, and he wasn't destructive - so in some respect he was contained - I'd suggest we got away with it a little bit.
