NZ tour of India

Stead loses the plot on the big away tours. Eventually the players can't keep bailing him out of his selectorial genius moments.
Would have helped tonight if Conway didn't punch his bloody bat, at least there'd be one alternative to the misery of Mitchell/Taylor/Nicholls.
The irony being his refusal to play Wags has made history for another top bloke.

That is one mixed emotions score to see this morning.
Well not really, winning is everything.
Fucking useless.
Black Crap level useless
Yep this innings is a real throwback.
I’m getting the feelings this might be Rosscos final test

Probably wouldn't have stopped the batting implosion but at least Wags would have made them work harder for their runs

If we have a home series against the Bangles coming up, maybe he gets a last game swan song. He looks like an old man playing a young man's game. To be fair none of the others did any better. No Kane, no Devon was always going to be tough

Yeah but there’s enough other talent there. Unfortunately everyone picked the same day to shit the bed.

Frustrating that we made the pitch look like a road when we bowled

So will India put us in again and send us packing ASAP, or will they send the batters in for some live fire practice and a chance to pad their stats?
They'll go for a three day test. They won't want to bat on this pitch again if they have to, and an Innings win would be the perfect riposte to being on the receiving end of a perfect ten.

He would have been someone who would have given the Indians something to think about.
Looking at this XI - with no Kane, Conway, Boult or Wagner - there's not a lot for India to be intimidated by. Really only Big Kyle and maybe Timmy as significant concerns.
A batsman might bat out of their skin, but far more likely it will be an Indian one. They would have seen three rookies, two guys with little form.
