@Mokey said in Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020:

If Jamieson continues like this, he's shaping up to be a future international all rounder. He should be batting higher than Southee. Timmah has been riding on the memory of long ago batting form for far too long. He's a bowler who can hold a bat, not an all rounder.

I don't think there's much doubt he should bat higher than Southee. The issue I whether he should do so in his first test. That's perhaps too much pressure on a young guy.

However it appears Jamieson doesn't feel pressured at all, judging by his performances for NZ this far. I suspect he'll bat 8 in the second innings.

I wanted to say that but didn't want to jinx the boy

He seems a really composed guy, what a find

[Damo]

Draw is paying $6.50 at the TAB. That's great value I think. Plonked some down.

[canefan]

I'm not sure bowling the spinner against the almost 7 foot guy who can bat is the smartest play

[Mokey]

Excellent contribution of 44 runs from Jamieson. Gutted he didn't make it to 50, but plenty more opportunities to come., if the selectors have half a brain cell.

Interesting to see who misses out next game. Kylo, Timmy or the spinner? The spinner is the easy option

[Mokey]

@canefan I feel like dropping the dude who is in super form with both ball and bat would be a huge mistake, so more between Boult, Southee, Patel.

[Damo]

I don't think Patel will last long. CDG has a license to have a slash now.

Wags and Kylo need to play. That's an amazing statement

[canefan]

We will miss Wags in the next innings when we need someone to make something out of nothing on a flat deck

[canefan]

What a meek end after a nice contribution from Colin

[canefan]

The commentators talked about the Basin test vs the Lankans in 2014/15? We were behind by over 150, went on to post 500 declared in the 3rd innings and bowl out the lankans in the 4th innings to win. Worrying

[Mokey]

@canefan JINXING BASTARDS.

[Damo]

Why does Boult always bat 11? He's a better batsman than Patel.

Boult protecting Patel from the strike 👍

[canefan]

Trent is being a great pest. Brilliant job done by Jamieson, CdG, Boult and Patel to put on 130+ to wrest the advantage back to us

[Mokey]

All out for 348, and lunch.

[Damo]

I didn't think so live. It might have brushed the gloves but hard to be sure.

Not out.

[Chris B.]

@Damo Yeah - fair decision.

On balance of probabilities it probably missed the glove, but different angles suggested different things.
