@rapido said in NZ tour of India:
Neesham lost his test spot on the Australian tour of 2015/16. Was replaced by Santner to re-juggle bowling options for a the unknowns of the first pink ball test; Adelaide - usually 2 spinners, but swing under lights, pink ball, more grass to protect the ball. Then CdG got the spot in the home summer and owned it for 5 years.
I thought he went home injured from that tour? (Just checked - yep). CdG certainly then made the spot his own for a while though.

Sorry guys late into the conversation but I really think they’ve missed a trick not picking Wagner yes its spinning but Somerville didn’t show much apart from some batting. But that’s not what he’s in the team to do it’s to take wickets.
If he’s in there for his batting he’s leaving it late to make an impact

If Somerville can somehow bat for another full session today, I suppose it'll at least reduce the margin of defeat further down that record list...

A pair of second ball ducks for Timmy.
Great ammo for the “Timmy never bats responsibly” fern bandwagon.

You seem to mention it more often than the bandwagoners
Timmy can bat however he likes. In turn I'd never bat him higher than nine (if they're ever mad enough to put me in charge...)

Yeah maybe they’ve all given up ? I always stood up for him.
Fair to say Somerville hasn’t pressed his claims too much in this test match. Jeepers.

A Cricinfo comment just for @MN5
Jigar Shah: "Two senior pros of NZ in absence of KW, played like a slogger. Disappointing to see such rash shots from Taylor as well as Southee."
Jigar Shah has obviously never seen Southee bat before

We've made that list; the 20th biggest defeat by runs in test history (all nations): https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283901.html in a match where only the third bowler in test history took all ten wickets in an innings for us...

That’s the end of one of the more bizarre tests I remember.
Does Ajaz get MOM ? he did get 14 wickets…..unfortunately his ten teammates were varying degrees of utter shite.
You can’t say India had an individual performance close to that, Ashwin took a few for fuck all though.
