Black Caps in India
-
That's enough for me, early start tomorrow so taking @Siam's advice and looking forward to reading about a famous victory in the morning.

Hopefully Milne will bowl better than he bats. A golden duck for him.
Santner has had to cut out the risk taking shots now. I'm guessing they will prod out 2 of the remaining four overs and attack the last two hoping to get a couple of balls over the fence and 220 -
@crucial You think they've got a plan?
If I could be arsed, I'd create one of those memes the kids love so much, a picture of a false dawn labelled "OPTIMISM: Black Caps Supporters"
I think the plan currently consists of "hope that every article about this match mentions the groundskeeper controversy" -
230 won’t be enough if Boult keeps bowling like this. He’s all over the show.

Par for the course with the Black Caps I guess. We've got a handful of world class players backed up by people that are not quite at the level needed for international cricket. Munro basically missed a straight one with non-existent defense, it's just a real bonus when guys like him come off.
Bit disappointing to hear Boult wasn't at his best, but I guess when you're defending such a small target it's easy to try too hard to take wickets instead of settling into a rhythm like he did in the first ODI.
Not a complete disaster, a bunch of players got starts and didn't kick on. Kane must be due a big score in the 3rd ODI so that should put us in a commanding position...
