Quietly I'm hoping he destroys India to save his career tbh. Talkback Media opinion is getting pretty worrying.
Yeah, but more than that, I hope he gets the new ball and takes a couple of wickets. All this talk of Franklin as a batting all-rounder is just nonsense.

Really? Cricinfo seemed pretty sure.
Yeah, I've seen cricinfo's discription and it astounds me. I didn't think he hit it live and the replays confirmed my thoughts. The commentators agreed.

Could have been given anyway, in theory, but Taylor didn't hit the ball.

The main nonsense is that Franklin believes it - wish he had more faith in his bowling ability.

Ah well, not the first time Cricinfo have been totally wrong!

Was following at the start of play and they had McIntosh opening with McCullum. Was horrified!

Bhajji to Ryder is a good contest .... If I were Sehwag, I would have one more in a close catching position

and as I write, Sehwag brings himself on

Indian fielding. :sleep:

Usual routine from Zaheer Khan, lethal with the new ball but useless once the ball gets old.

Wicket looks a good one (400 min) so these two really need to push on.

Much as I love Test cricket, if I was in Napier, I'd be hitting each of Cape Kidnappers GC and the vineyards before getting to the ground.

Top spot IMO.

I had $50 on Taylor to score a ton when he was on 4. This is so frustrating to watch. I really don't deserve it given how lucky the innings the been so far.
