@canefan how was it a "warm up" when we've played mostly, the same team?
I mean that we had no warm up games in SL, so in hindsight we did not take that series seriously enough. It only served to get us used to sub continental conditions, and we have been dramatically better in India

It wouldn’t be cricket if you couldn’t bag players and then they then went and put in good performances. Almost feel I should take credit for Latham 80 lol. I’m still trying to get my head around Satners incredible bowling performance.
Need to find a few more runs before I get too excited but fantastic effort so far

We had a warmup against Afghanistan. Strictly not Sri Lanka, but NZC did try to be fair to them

With a lead of 301, by the massive underdog, with 5 second innings wickets in hand.
If we can get another 50-70 runs then we have a great chance, although you can never count out India with the batting lineup they have.

From Reddit poster
383 innings with targets over 300
20 successful
283 failed
80 drawnIn India it's 1-26-9
The one caveat is that the run chase will start on a day 3 wicket. I haven’t seen the wicket but i expect it was pretty dry to start with already. But the point still stands, it will be a day 3 wicket as opposed to a mid day 4 or day 5 start to the run chase.

I doubt nz will make 200 in any of the 6 innings. And I'm expecting 'normal' pitches, not bunsens
Didn't expect much from Kane anyway, tbh.
A couple of runs short of 3 from 3 so far assuming you don’t count the last innings of the last test.
( I’m shocked too )

Never, never underestimate the Caps ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Been awesome to watch though.Test cricket played at a rollicking pace like this is always good, we’re still only on day 3 today !
We need a pretty big score from one or both of these guys, possibly unfair to expect Santner or Southee to go large again.

For some reason, I had it in my head that we were 3 days in and batting on day 4 with a lead of 300, so was thinking it would be good to declare around lunch...
Given it's only day 3 today, may as well bat to tea or so.
I did too but there’s been quick run rates and no rain delays.
I think they need to bat til they’re all out personally !

Probably need 4 sessions to bowl India out, depending on conditions.

I hope after you trounce them 5-0 at home this summer you have the good grace to thank us for warming them up

Yup. Crush their will to live if we can (it will weaken them for the final game), let our batsmen get some runs, set a massive total, and we can still leave ourselves 2 days to bowl them out

This would have been a laughable post even a week ago, but India are out of sorts and we’ve lifted massively.
Sport sure can be funny and fickle !

That would be awesome
But 198/5Another 100 runs would be the most realistically we could expect I think
That would be 400 run lead. Would be a record breaking chase to get it.
