Black Caps tour of India

[Donsteppa]

A series where the reverse jinx has been off the charts for individual performances

[Canes4life]

Blundell is playing a solid hand atm. Keep it going.

[Donsteppa]

About the only things left are a Southee 5-for, plus a Will Young ton in the next Test...

[Chris B.]

Don't know if we've got enough yet - but, if you'd offered me NZ setting India 280 to win in the 4th innings I'd have bitten your hand off!

Dumb shot Latham

[No Quarter]

That is unlucky, 0.001mm made it umpires call, looked outside the line both live and on replay

[No Quarter]

That was a real captains knock from Latham though, has put us in a position to win the game

[Chris]

Unlucky Latham that 86 might win this test match was the right shot he has sweep well all day attacking the spinners unlucky he hit the ground with his bat and missed it,

No right shot he has scored all day sweeping just unlucky he toed the bat on the ground.

No we need 350 lead we can still get there.

[Chris]

Blundell doing well we need 50 from him now he is set.

[canefan]

If we can get around 100 from the last 5 batsmen we will have set them a daunting target to save the match

[No Quarter]

I can't believe we won the first test and have a 300 run lead on a turning pitch in the second with 5 wickets in hand. Amazing stuff.

The SL series was just a warm up for this series as it turned out, which I don't agree with

And Little Kane is sitting on his couch watching it on telly - just like us!

[canefan]

And no Matt Henry

[No Quarter]

Santner and Latham, take a bow. What a day.

[canefan]

What a hugely satisfying days cricket for NZ. We are in the box seat with the dream of a series win in India in sight
