NZ tour of India

[No Quarter]

We definitely should have played Wags

[Donsteppa]

That's the part of Umpires Call that I'm always wary of... DRS still shows it smashing into off stump...

[No Quarter]

Was worth a review, very very close call

Yeah it’s bullshit aye. That’s out, pure and simple

[No Quarter]

That's a 50/50 call for the umpire. I'm fine with it staying with the umpires call as it was marginal whether it hit him in line with the stumps. DRS was put in to remove the howlers, it's not quite accurate enough to overrule the umpires in all situations.

[Bovidae]

@mn5 This was in today's newspaper about Jamieson.

He still has the chance to be just the fourth bowler this century to reach 50 test wickets in nine or fewer matches. Pace bowler Vernon Philander (7), and spinners Yasir Shah and Ravi Ashwin (both 9) are the others.

[No Quarter]

Anyone know if Southees injury is serious?

Yeah I remember Philander having a ridiculous start to his career.

[ARHS]

@donsteppa yep. Mount won the Derby match. 😭

Hip flexor. Not bowling now. This wouldn't have happened to Wags.....

Well it would but he’d just channel it into rage and bowl even better

Hip flexor probably no less uncomfy than a broken toe

[MN5]

Fuck this is an annoying period of the game with no Southee.

Our spinners are not stepping up. Ravindra just went for 10 in his last over !!

[MN5]

50 on debut for the new kid.

Well played son.

[nzzp]

This pair have taken the game away from us. We needed a fat first innings lead to compete, and it's not really on the cards now.

Pitch won't get better. Southee injury a disaster in a hot tour; but Kylo is extraordinary.

[MN5]

Jamieson needs a good night sleep and to fire up early…..no one else is looking likely and Southees injury is a disaster.

[Rapido]

Yes, disastrous
Lose toss and then lose a bowler.

Like Perth.

Like Perth.

We have enough batting talent to fight for a draw if need be though.

No, this isn't the type of pitches that will have a draw.

Unfortunately , looks like we will let India bat for about 5 of the 6 sessions that the pitch will behave.

It will get ugly, I'm afraid.
