Still infuriated with the fucking neutral coverage. If you just listened to the comm's an never heard the score, you'd currently estimate India at 650/10, and NZ all out for 125 in the easiest possible batting conditions. The magnificence of Kohli's captaincy and Shami's bowling what has given India such a powerful position given that NZ were batting on a concrete pitch in summer heat with no humidity.
Well what do you expect when we have selfish captain who was playing for his fifty according to Gavaskar?

@majorrage They've got to bat three sessions and bowl us out in one?
That doesn't sound like the power is with them.
However, while we're anxiously sitting here with a modest lead of 32, spare a thought for our friend @newsjunkie, who's going to be behind his sofa sweating on his fear of 20/4!
The power is with them as its likely the conditions now are as good as they are going to be.
The draw is still most likely, of course.

Yeah, the (lack of) knowledge you've have to have on Kane to suggest that is astounding.

Haaaa I've just sat down to watch this session and was coming on to comment on that. India are pretty amazing innit? Noticeable how earlier with NZ batting it was all about how great the Indian captaincy has been. Now it's about how this new opening batter is going to be the best in the world.

Not one to leave Rohit
God he has a beautiful leaving technique though. One of the best leaves I've seen, but just to the wrong ball. Unlucky.
One more wicket at least today boys and it is all to play for tomorrow.

64-2. India 32 runs ahead. 105 overs to go. Forecast for tomorrow good. Huge opportunity for those 11 Black Caps to something fucking great.
Basically they have two cracks at having an seriously good session.

Southee did more than what was asked of him. Good man.
Was a bit like Timmy of old. Feels like a long time since we've seen him successfully play that sort of innings

Good luck for tomorrow my virtual kiwi friends. 😀

So according to Nassar and team, our first innings lead was all down to brilliant captaincy in the field from Virat.
Pretty sure they had the Man of the Match winners cheque made out to him before the WTC started.
They just have to justify it now. -

You hear what you want to hear. Nasser and Sangakarra along others were very complimentary of our batsmen, and Bishop of Kylo especially. Whatever triggers you I guess

Tomorrow morning is going to be massive. If we can dislodge 3 or more of them for not much it will be red alert for India. Even if they survive, we showed in the first innings that we have the ability to knock a bunch of them out in a hurry. It feels like we are the only ones with a chance to win now, I just can't see India having the time to post a competitive chasing target and bowl us out
