another game decided by the toss.. yay

[Donsteppa]

Williamson, back after his elbow injury enforced break, says this will be a different challenge. Ajaz Patel and Will Sommerville playing, as is debutant Rachin Ravindra.

[Bovidae]

Bloody Kane!

We'll be batting sometime on Sat.

[Bovidae]

No Wags.

1 Tom Latham, 2 Will Young, 3 Kane Williamson (c), 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Henry Nicholls, 6 Tom Blundell (wk), 7 Rachin Ravindra, 8 Kyle Jamieson, 9 Will Sommerville, 10 Tim Southee, 11 Ajaz Patel

[Donsteppa]

No Wags. Didn’t see that one coming…

[MN5]

[bayimports]

You mean the coach with a WTC, ODI World Cup Final and T20 World Cup Final in his resume?

yes, two first loser titles. one amazing one

[MN5]

Bugger, though we had an early one.

Decision overturned.

Fuck it looks, hot, humid and just downright shitty in India. Would be like playing in a smelly sauna I’d imagine.

Pitch being low and slow I understand the why to a degree, but unlike the two other pace bowlers chosen he has so many variations these days he just always finds a way to take wickets when others cannot.

Anyway will be intressting to see how it plays out

Of the three I’d back Wagner to make the best of bad conditions. Really strange call.

[MN5]

Whoa, shocking no ball from Jamieson. I guess when you’re 25 feet tall its hard to always know where your feet are.

[MN5]

The Black Caps team just flashed on screen, even without Conway that batting line up is pretty damn strong. Young has shown glimpses of belonging at this level and Blundell can make the keeping/six spot his own if he plays well enough. The other four speak for themselves.

[MN5]

Jamieson gets one !

Great work from the big man.

[bayimports]

Jeez almost need a filter to see through the pollution even through the live feed, they will struggle to breathe soon

[No Quarter]

We really needed to win the toss if we wanted to be a chance in this match. We are up against it now, as batting last will be nigh on impossible.

Yeah conditions just look awful huh ?

I feel a bit sorry for Indian legends like Sunil Gavaskar ( always a big fan of his commentary )…..surely they must get embarrassed by it.

Is it all the smoke from the funeral pyres? I'll get my coat

[MN5]

Aw fuck yes Kyle.

Jeez I’m glad we filled the team up with spinners.
