Almost too easy for him. That might be costly

[Cyclops]

Into the hands and then out again. That's schoolboy stuff. Brutal for wags. Indian batsmen are generally getting the rub of the green when it comes to edges going into gaps and missing fielders.

Not the first he's dropped in recent times!!!

Some of our catching has been a bit ordinary in this test. At least three regulation catches put down - and it could end up costing us big.

This match is critical for the World Test Championship. I reckon the winner is odds-on to play Australia in the final.

Australia? No way, india are way out in front, can't see them being caught the way they play at home. This is an aberration of a series for them I think

[canefan]

Kylo is causing problems. We need to get these guys out for a modest score because I'm concerned about our ability to chase a big total down on this pitch

[Chris B.]

@nzzp India has to play Australia in Oz.

If they lose the series to us, I reckon they're odds on to lose that series as well - which would be two series losses out of six.

[nzzp]

@Chris-B fair enough. It'll be a cracking series over there, hoepfully the Indian batting gets goign (and they get some warm up games!)

[nzzp]

@Chris-B looked it up. Looks like the potential banana skin for Aus is the away series in SA. Maybe some demons come back over there, Warner implodes, etc.

[Godder]

Wags!

[Godder]

Boult! 84/5

[Damo]

Boult!

Holy shit that is nasty. Such late swing.

@Duluth said in Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020:

38 runs for Kohli in the series

Jamieson has scored more in each of his innings so far than Kohli has all season.

[Damo]

That is borderline unplayable. And another. !!

[Chris B.]

@nzzp Yeah - it's quite a strange format.

We've got a good draw, missing both England and South Africa (though it would have been great in hindsight if that recent series vs England had counted).

If we win here, we'll have a win, a loss and a draw. But home series vs Pakistan and the Windies to come, and we'd be strong favourites in those - plus a winnable series in Bangladesh. Win all those series and we end up with 4 wins a draw and a loss.

India odds on to lose in Oz, plus losing to us is two losses.

England has a win vs SA and a draw with Oz, but still has to go to India and Sri Lanka.

Oz has two wins and a draw - home series vs India to come, plus away vs the Bangles and SA. I've got them as favourites to win all of those, but you never know.

On top of this is the vagaries of points accumulated in individual series, but I think the overall series won, drawn, lost is a decent indicator.

[Chris B.]

We're surely back on top, here?

[Godder]

Agree, 90/6 puts us ahead slightly. If we can roll them tomorrow for not much, that would be achievable, but if India can get a lead of 200+, it might be difficult.

[Cyclops]

I think anything up to 200 and we should be favourites. Less than 250 probably about even and 250 plus puts India in the drivers seat.
