Black Caps tour of India
-
This is an amazing victory. One of the best in all my years of watching the BCs.
To win like this over there ? Extraordinary.
No KW.
Ravindra showing absolute class.
Young showing nerves and being there at the end.
Conway getting runs.
Our pace men tearing up when they needed to.
The turnaround after Sri Lanka ? Wow, who the fuck woulda picked that ?
Hats off boys, you were brilliant.

Despite all the noise from the crowd, India and the commentators, we did that easily in the end. That's a hiding.

Geez, 33% with just 20 runs to get?
You haven’t contributed to this thread all match, don’t try and hop on the bandwagon now.
I highly doubt you've contributed either.

Yep, it actually is. If they’d even got a hundred more in the first innings that could have been extremely close.
To do this with Mitchell, Blundell, Phillips etc still to come.
Spanking.

Bloody great result in the end there. Henry on the first day was sublime and Ravindra.. well he speaks for himself. Fantastic.
-
Who gets player of the match? I’d go with Ravindra just from the absolute poise he showed at the crease. Henry unlucky.
-
Three candidates for MOM.
Given we’re in India I’m sure they’ll pick the batsman so it’ll be Ravindra despite some terrific efforts from Henry and O’Rourke….
Some terrific contributions from Conway and Young’s poise is worth noting too. Can’t be easy filling in for KW.

Quite happily basking in that win. A long time between drinks, going back to the days of R J Hadlee and J G Wright.
Yep, you cannot underestimate how hard it is to win there.
That’s why their players have such amazing records at home.

I think O'Rourke is MOTM. His spells in both innings won us the game.
Ravindra will get it because the game is biased towards batsman.
Ravindra will get it but interesting point.
Henry looks better on paper but as you point out O’Rourkes bowling changed the game more.

Maybe my plans for the evening after that result. I’ll let you all know in due course.

Ravindra - scored about a third of our runs for one out
Will bowled better and got more top order batsmen than Henry. I'd give it to him, but suspect they'll pick Rachin
