@No-Quarter said in Black Caps tour of India:
The ironic thing is Southee will likely retain his spot due to his batting...
Horse for courses too... I am no Southee fan, BUT what he did remind all of us of, is that even when he isn't taking wickets, he can offer some control.
If it is going to be a bunsen, plenty of merit in resting WOR, and picking either an extra batter or spinner.
-
@nzzp damn, hopefully Young builds on the confidence he would have got from the first test as surely he stays now.
Test wont be Bumrah so much this time, but their spine regime
-
If Young continues to go ok and then KW comes back do they ( hear me out ) go for six batsmen, Blundell at seven plus Phillips and the three bowlers ?
Very, VERY strong batting line up on paper……
Are Mitchell and Ravindra handy enough bowlers for this to even be an option ?
Is Phillips considered a front liner now ? ( probably by BC standards yes )
This would possibly mean KW replacing Southee because they won’t jettison Henry or O’Rourke
-
Please, please let us win the toss today. I heard some stat that we've only won like 25% of the tosses in Asia in recent times. That makes it so hard to win when you have to bat last on dust bowls that are cracking up. If we can just win the damn toss and get through the first session without too much damage, there will be huge pressure on India.

I heard we've lost the last 7? Crazy if so ... surely we're due one!
-
Fingers crossed we win the toss, apparently the decision is to bat first. I'd rather crack a beer and watch us bat tonight versus bowl on a dust bin and watch us get pummeled.
12 years since we won a toss in India, won't be surprised at all if it's rigged.

Santner in for HEnry not the headline I wanted to see
-
Not the worst start, Latham going early to a beautiful ball from Ashwin. Currently 45/1. Young (8) and Conway (21) at the crease.
-
If we can get something north of 300 in our first dig then we are right in this game
-
Ashwin & Washington looking dangerous this surface already gripping
Important that we keep playing shots -
