@canefan I second that it’s worth a try considering Southee seems to be offering nothing now

Excellent reverse jinx

[No Quarter]

After dominating for a couple of years, Southee has been poor so far, on the biggest stage when conditions suited him best. Really disappointing.

[Donsteppa]

Some redemption from Southee, just as I was about to make another fuming post about Southee and Boult's gentle pie shop...

[Squirrel]

The ball keeps finding Latham. I'm happy about that

[No Quarter]

I'll take that one

[mikey07]

@canefan Yuss my reverse psychology worked!

[Chris B.]

I was just about to take you off, Tim!

Nice!!!

An end opened up now.

[Squirrel]

@donsteppa I deleted/aborted my anti southee post too!

[No Quarter]

Right, into the tail, we need to mop it up quick smart before Jadeja scores any more.

[Donsteppa]

Then Southee sprays it way down the leg side to the tail ender first ball...

[canefan]

Wicket or not, Tim is spraying it around a lot

[canefan]

Need to finish this lot for not much

[Chris B.]

Something that hopefully might help us is if the Indian's Duke ball doesn't swing too much for the first 10 overs, that's going to be five overs out of each of their new ball bowlers tanks.

If we battle hard for the first 20 overs, they'll pretty much have to start bowling their spinners.

Ashwin playing a Colin innings.

(surely an effective curse...)

You're all wrong. It was this one and You're all welcome😉

I'd like to think we are better equipped to combat the swing after having been in country for a few weeks

[canefan]

Aw fuck

[Siam]

@canefan maybe, but there's a run rate to bear in mind too. Don't want to block out maidens from their spinners.

[sparky]

What a morning from the NZ bowlers!
