The same bowler who bowls intelligently and with subtle variations completely loses his brain when he goes out to bat.

 

[straw man]

They already have 3 each. Mills finally got his first!

With a full wide one in a match in which he's bowled plenty of rubbish! Martin and O'Brien have worked hard and not conceded too much - deserve it more.

Yeah yeah, life's not fair etc etc

Which bowler is that?

 

[Evermind]

Which bowler is that?

Zaheer and Harbhajan. Did you see Zaheer's flashes outside the off-stump? Looked nearly as awful as Phil Hughes.

 

[Jono]

Typical Vettori figures - goes at only 2 - 2.5 per over but no wickets. Imagine these two will put on at least another 30 between them. Can Ishant bat at all?

Yeah.

Vettori is awesome to watch, but its his role to get wickets. He doesn't do that often enough at test level.

 

[silentstriker]

Harbhajan and intelligent do not belong in the same sentence.

 

[Bahnz]

Mills getting slapped around by Zaheer. What a waste of ****ing space.

 

[Jono]

These runs are hurting NZ so much.

 

[duffer]

C'mon India, get +200 at least.

 

[Jono]

Haha go Zaheer go!

That's a good cricket shot.

 

[Evermind]

Could this end up a draw? The pitch is pretty flat, and if NZ dig in, they might bat forever.

Mills bowled an absolute pie there.

Edit: seems to have completely lost the plot now. Oh boy.

Hopefully we can knock over their top order again with the new ball. But I think if we get some quick runs and get out we should have enough time for a win.

 

[R_D]

Mills bowling absolute trash here..

 

[silentstriker]

Hah, Martin drops it! That really really should have been caught.

New Zealand can't dig in. None of our top order batsmen besides Ryder and Flynn have decent defensive technique.

Mills is a useless sack of **** at test cricket. Can't believe he was given the new ball, and if we see him bowling again after this match I'll be very disappointed with the selectors. I'm glad Martin dropped that one, Mills didn't deserve another freebie.

 

[Evermind]

Hahah drops don't get any less dignified than that.

Well that Hussey drop was a lot worse, but this one's in a similar league.

 

[duffer]

Y'all just hating. Much love Kyle Mills, I still believe in you.

EDIT: Zaheer really couldn't get any awesomer could he?

 

[Evermind]

I'm glad Martin dropped that one, Mills didn't deserve another freebie.

Anyway, they're bowling WAY too wide to the tail-enders. Get Vettori and O'Brien back on.

 

[duffer]

Franklin to Khan, FOUR, the shot of a genuine batsman! He gets on his knee to a full and wide delivery and plays a delectable cover drive which flies off the meat of the bat, Flynn had no chance at the deep

Was it that good?

 

[silentstriker]

It was good. He wobbled the bat a little bit more and stuck his arms out more than he should, but you can't really fault anyone for that shot, top order or not.

And there goes Ishant.
