Black Caps in India

[Paekakboyz]

@MN5 Oi!! I did say batting AND bowling!! although I did expand more on the batting side of things...

I think they'll do well on both fronts - and Kane and Rosco can also bowl a bit of spin so we are rocking a 5-spinner attack!!

[No Quarter]

A couple of other points - Kane's average is 51, what a complete fucking legend, and Wagner is 6 wickets short of 100 in his 23rd test. No NZer has reached 100 wickets in 24 tests. That's an incredible effort, talk about maximising your talent through hard work. Average 29 now which is more then respectable.

[Donsteppa]

@No-Quarter Yep, I'd have picked Wagner ahead of Southee for this test anyway, but Southee's injury solved that dilemma for the real selectors!

[Frye]

We lost the toss.

Guess I'm not watching this test.

[Hooroo]

8 off the first over. This 20/20 should be a cracker!

Spinners to get the other end?

fuck, i had to check for myself. We've won the toss 11 times out of 29 tests in the last 3 years.

[Hooroo]

We suck and we know we do!

[Hooroo]

Oh nuts, and I see we were only able to field ten batsmen.

I thought Ronchi may have been given a shot

[No Quarter]

We just never win the fucking toss. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. That pretty much invalidates my entire post.

I'm a little bit ashamed to admit this is also my attitude. I'll leave this one to the masochists and the more mature fans who have that weird ability to enjoy skill by the opposition.

Oh well, recent blackcaps series usually only really worth watching from the second test anyway.

"5 spinner attack"....

I do love your optimism.

Awesome from Wagner, would have thought Paddles had him beat to 100 wickets but worth remembering he took a few years to achieve legendary status.

[mariner4life]

we're completely fucked already

[mimic]

and Santner gets one

[hydro11]

Looks like it will be a long time in the field.

[Mokey]

Oh God. Lost the toss, bowling on a road. No point watching Day 1, then. Just have to hope for a bit of luck or an Indian getting a bit weary and making a mistake.

Otherwise we are so fucked.

[MN5]

There's a compelling race to see who can rack up a 50 average, might happen in this match !!!!!

.......unfortunately it's between bowlers as opposed to batsmen. I was surprised Sodhi averages 47 compared to Craigs 46.........

[Bones]

Pujara gone for 62, c&b Santner.

[Bones]

And now Kohli gone for 9, b Wagner c Sodhi.
