Black Caps in India

6.4 Yadav to Guptill, 1 run, dropped. You wouldn't expect him to take that, but he certainly saved some runs. A slower delivery outside off with no change in direction in the air or off the pitch. Guptill wants to go straight but hits it to mid-kn's left off the inside half of the bat. Mishra dives to his left but parries his one-handed attempt towards long-on.
Can the mods change it so that the word Bones comes up as Fluffybunny!

80/0 after 10. I have no comment to make about this game at this stage.

Anderson and Ronchi have been dining out on previous exploits (well Anderson has been) for ages. Nice to see BJ get a chance
Ronchi has dined out on his 160 on that junior sized cricket ground for what, 3 years now?

@canefan's deleted post is very suspicious.

Thank god the Black Cap selectors finally read TSF forums and dumped Ronchi. Hope that muppet never makes it back in.

I did not remember Ronchi's big knock and was going to query you on it. Then I did my own research which made my question unnecessary. OK?

Well, Guppy's out now and it seems no-one did anything to cause it, though God knows - Bones was probably sticking pins in a voodoo doll!
Disappointing to get out to the pacemen, who look very hittable, where the spinners look difficult.
Wouldn't surprise me if this isn't a particularly high scoring pitch - especially if our spinners bowl well and we have the faith to keep the pace off the ball.

Yeah, the first 10 overs look the easiest so good we made the most of them. If we can get 270+ and use the spinners early we could build some scoreboard pressure. Though the dew may nullify the spinners to an extent.

Dhoni just made an absolute mess of a straight forward runout by trying to be cleaver and flicking the ball through his legs. Hilarious.

Now Kane gets out caught Dhoni. Not quite as hilarious.

"Yadav to Taylor, 1 run, OUT, swung away down to fine leg. Has Dhoni made the run-out again? Has he created something? Taylor was labouring back for the second, and pays the price as Dhoni collects the ball in front of the stumps and then deflects the ball back onto the stumps, all in one swift motion. Didn't even need to look at the stumps as he under-armed it back. A fantastic piece of agility, but not something new. If he was standing close to the stumps, Taylor would have made it with relative ease. Dhawal's throw from fine leg wasn't great - slow on the bounce, but Dhoni created the pace by getting to the ball"
Giveth & taketh away.....
