@mimic Yeah but my Coro St line doesn't work
with Jadeja.....
I havent' endured it in years, but eee our Ashwin.

@MN5 there's a guns and strippers thread somewhere for you, probably started by our Aaron.
As for Jeets, 1/28 so far is again nothing to suggest he'd be markedly better (or worse) than any of the other spinners tried in his absence. Craig had a good second innings record for a while too...

I doubt it survived the changeover recently.....
ah fuck it, let's get on the bandwagon...."Come on Jeets, you're better than Warnie and Murali combined! bamboozle them with your turn, flight, spin and guile !"

I went out on a limb for Jeets and he has let me down. He will have an angry email in his inbox when he gets back into the shed.

You're clearly outraged by his performance.....but are you offended as well ?

I was offended 5 minutes ago but then I saw a headline that Trump may have said the N word once so I'm offended by that now, and in 5 minutes time I'll find something new to be offended about.

What fresh hell is this?
Guptill rightly drops anchor while the other four blokes bat as if they have to win the game tonight, or to catch an early flight.
Make that five.
Perhaps they have golf booked later on and don't want to miss it ?
3-0. Was hoping for at least 2-0. Stink.

34.1
Ashwin to Patel, OUT, now he's got a five-for in each innings! That was all a bit too easy. Tossed it up. Patel plays right across the line, trying a sweep while standing up. In effect, he ushered the ball onto his stumps
JS Patel b Ashwin 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00Fuck given: nil.
-
Lost count of Ashwin's wicket haul by the end - was it 13? For 13 wickets you'd expect a biting, spitting cobra of a wicket and it wasn't. All he did was work through his variations and we got out to him. Reminiscent of when Vettori used to rip through the Bangles, float one up, float one up, fast straight one to catch him LBW.

The great work of 2014/15 is slowly but surely unravelling...
Yeah, for all of Baz's flaws as a player it's not so much his leadership we are missing, but the huge fucking hole he has left at number 5. So much pressure on Kane and Rosco (who is hopelessly out of form) to score the bulk of the runs with one dodgy opener and a weak as piss tail.
This series was always going to be tough, and mentally as much as anything losing the toss in every fucking test put us behind the 8 ball. Don't forget the exact same thing happened to SA recently and they are a pretty handy team.
Once the boys get home for the summer I'm confident we'll put some good perfomances on the board. I already picked up tickets to take the boy to the ODI vs Aussie on Auckland Anniversary day so I hope they'd better find some form before then!

No excuse for the weak tail, every single bloke can hold a bat, our number 11 has a test 50 and is a very good hitter for a slight guy.
As for number 5 is it time to see what J Ryder is up to ?
