NZ tour of India

[Chris B.]

Oh shit!!!

[Rapido]

That is clown cricket.

[Damo]

I get a sense that there is more urgency from our batsman in this test. I am for that.

However not sure our openers should be hooking in the 4th over of the innings.

Looks like being the Sir Ajaz Patel and the Ten Muppets Show.

thank god, too high

Amazing review. He didn't hesitate for a moment. I figured he must have hit it, but no - he just knew where the stumps end.

Judging by his reaction after the review I'm sure he totally did.

Taylor... ouch

[Damo]

Taylor looks all at sea. Maybe his eyes are playing up again - maybe he's just getting old.

No use saving the review for the tail?

Henry better find some form pdq!

Yes but that kind of thinking normally takes a few moments consideration and consultation with the non-striker.

Mitchell reviewed almost immediately. That's normally a sign that a batsman just knows they aren't out.

[Damo]

Nicholls also looks all at sea. Let's hope he can hang in there and get into nick.

[Hooroo]

What’s the weather forecast?

😫😤☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

@hooroo

Unfortunately quite good

long long way behind right now.

Ajaz Patel - probably the first to have 10 wickets and watch his team self destruct

[MN5]

@damo said in NZ tour of India:

Now we need to bat well.

The path to victory is clear. Bat for 2.5 days and declare 200-250 ahead. Then bowl India out in 4.5 sessions.

Fuck me. We’ll be doing incredibly well to avoid the follow on at this rate

Exactly. Not pass the follow on, get put in again, then bat well and set India a target on day 5.

What did you think I meant?

[Donsteppa]

Looks like they expect Patel to do all the work with the bat as well. Somerville was clearly a selection to lengthen the batting...

I didn't think for a moment that Stead was serious about batting Mitchell at 3, given the history of Ravindra plus the option of asking Blundell to open, or Taylor and Nicholls to shift up one, but...

Taylor has gone a series too far.
