We should roll the tail quickly.
Then when we bat the question is what is the correct strategy? I would have thought we bat once and bat big. Score 550-600 and then look to roll the Indians for a not much.
The path to victory is clear.
Ashwin can bat, he’s no tail ender.
Nah, my comments on cricket always work out.

You and me both. I posted on here that Southee would get five yesterday, unfortunately my dial up connection timed out and it didn’t load properly.

An interesting morning. I'd expected our spin bowling to be weak and our pace to do okay-ish. I just hadn't expected our spin bowling to be quite as ineffective, or for all the wickets to come from pace.
Perhaps Wags in for Patel in game two. On the grounds that all our our spin bowling is a holding pattern at best, so may as well go for the strongest batting...

Ha, what a jinx from me, beautiful bowling Patel !!!!!!! Ashwin gone, Sharma won’t hang around.
mission accomplished
Well, 2-90 is better than 0-90.
The other two better pull finger in the next innings.

I'm just gutted that Jamison wrecked his figures.

Only wrecked by his amazing early career standards. He did ok.
Holy shit how good was Southee though ? What an old pro.

I thought Southee actually bowled well yesterday (despite his injury) for lesser reward.
Jamieson's figures today reasonably reflect the quality of the bowling (some good deliveries mixed with more average ones). -

Latham and Young through to tea. Young in particular looking very comfortable.

That's a dream start on a pretty dodgy pitch. The variable bounce is somewhat offset by how slow the pitch is, but it always feels like one with your name on it will be around the corner.
Still a mammoth task ahead, as we need a significant first innings lead to stay in the match really, we don't want to be chaing more than 100 batting last on this pitch.
