Black Caps tour of India

[canefan]

We need a minimum of 150 from these two and Philips

[MN5]

Fuck.

Conway or Ravindra getting about double what they did woulda been handy

[KiwiMurph]

That's an ugly dismissal from Blundell.

Not exactly playing in the V

[canefan]

Cue the collapse

[MN5]

Knife edge……big partnership here and we’re good.

One more wicket and we’re fucked

[Chris]

This test match is being lost today.
Some poor batting playing across the line playing down the wrong line.
Waving outside the off stump.
We are throwing away the bat first advantage on this pitch.

The joys of fielding a Test number 6 with a batting average of 35.

Not a test 6 or even a 7 or 8.

[canefan]

We are on the cliff edge, with Mitch and Glen to save us

[Donsteppa]

Santner doing his best to hit the bowlers out of the attack.

That’s pretty standard for loads of sides though ?

That’s very often where the keeper/all rounder bats.

They can’t all be Border, S Waugh, Hussey etc

[No Quarter]

We've somewhat squandered a good start that could have seen us almost bat them out of the game. I still think if we can get past 300 then we are right in it, a couple of early Indian wickets chasing more than that will have them under a lot of pressure.

[Chris]

This is a terrible batting performance by Phillips he is reading nothing and all at sea.
Going back to Washington will get him bowled or LBW

[Chris]

Santner down the other end doing a really good job.

India will score 400 plus on this wkt no problem.

[No Quarter]

@Chris Ye of little faith! Pressure is a funny thing and after the first test all of the pressure is on India. You would expect them to score 400, but you also would expect them to score more than 46 in the first test

[canefan]

What a waste by Philips. Just a nothing shot

Those loads of other sides may not always be good Rishabh might be an outlier, but we still have to out play him to have a chance of a series win.

[Chris]

Terrible Phillips outclassed today totally picked the wrong ball to hit over mid off.

[Donsteppa]

Blundell is safe at six though, partly because Philips also isn't knocking the door down with the bat...
