Oh no, no chance for 5 because one of the Indians got run out. Southee got 4, Jamieson got 4, and Boult got 1. All out for 165 puts us in the driver's seat, now it's time for the batters to ram home the advantage
Academic now, but if Jamieson had got the last instead of Southee he'd have got five.

Yup. Great start to his test career. Hopefully he can stay healthy, his attitude and technique look good enough to prime him for a prolonged run in the side. Add Wags in the next game and things might get ugly for the Indians

Gees, Jamieson has been a real find. Takes wickets, good average too. Nice and accurate. Now I want to see him and Wags bowling in tandem.
With Tim, Boult, Wags and Kylo that is a strong 4 prong pace attack. Add CdG and that is a group that will challenge any batting lineup

Scary to think if Wags had played Kyle would have been carrying the drinks and they still would have gone with Patel...

Sliding door moment right there. I think he would have got a chance but who knows when that might have been. And Blundell gets off the mark after facing 18 deliveries. Good stuff

From ODI series he can bat a bit too. Looks like a natural cricketer.
Who's spot is in trouble if Wags is fit? Boult or Southee?

In NZ they don't need a spinner with that 5. CDG can play the holding role. In Kylo we have a purpose built replacement when Timmy hangs it up. Henry and Ferg just dropped down the pecking order. Real depth is an unfamiliar problem to have for us

@canefan If they decide to play a spinner, who misses out?
Scrub that, my page hadn't updated.
Might be Timmy.
If I was picking it would be Timmy. When there is no assistance he's not fast enough and doesn't seem to pose enough of a threat. But sometimes he can be brilliant, he just got 4 to Trent's 1 in the first innings, so its horses for courses. Wags has to play because someone has to make something of the old ball and toil in poor conditions

Sky coverage is patchy due to heavy rain at our house. Most frustrating
I ditched decoder Sky and signed up for Sky Sport Now, their streaming service. Working well so far, $40 per month on the 12 month contract. We found we weren't watching any of the other channels at all so couldn't justify paying for it. No more rain fade 🙂 just have to hope the Internet doesn't go down at a bad time. Fibre is pretty solid though.

Game is fairly evenly poised after Kane and Rosco got out. Pitch is getting flatter so India will back themselves to set us a good target, then we have all the pressure that comes with batting last.

Nicholls gone and India edge ahead

India could bowl us out without conceding another run and we'd still be ahead. These wickets are damage control and probably a good sign that there's still life in the wicket.
