@MN5 Smithy with a half century in that game as well, he must have loved commentating this one

We might have to have this won by lunch or the rain will come I think
Or hold on until lunch and hope the rain saves us.
PTSD from NZ vs Pakistan in Hamilton back in the 90s
India don’t have Waqar and Wasim
…unfortunately they do have Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja.
It's all good now, but the post after this mentioned "Latham" ... and the Skipper's dad was THE Waqar wicket we all remember from that ... errm ... occasion.

An 8 wicket win against India in India? Amazing
Eat a box of cocks India.
This is a delicious day

We really, really need to win the toss for this one
-
An absolutely huge bonus for us now is that our best (fit) player Rachin excels against spin bowling. If we can get Kane back then we'll have two world class players of spin so it's not quite as daunting as it has been in the past.
-
Time to join the select few with a series win in India.

I'd take ten days of rain about now.
Bunsen's are no doubt on the way though...
forecast looks disturbingly dry.
Betfair has India at $1.35, and us and the draw at $8

Better drop a pace bowler and recall Santner

Santner and Southee seem like a variation on the same player now, just how fast the bowling is...

Weirdly I think this could work in our favour... prepare a pitch that turns too much and it becomes a crapshoot, and New Zealand do have players who could hit us to victory in a low scoring game... Patel and Phillips will be good enough I think on a ragger too.

Not a lot in that these days either.
-
The ironic thing is Southee will likely retain his spot due to his batting...
-
If you were removing a bowler for Satnav then you would be doing so for batting, his bowling average in India is well known.
I believe Sodhi might be available for this test? not sure -

I thought he was - and possibly Kane as well
