He had a dropped catch as well.
LOL!He had a dropped catch as well.
Na hes out of form and this is pretty tragic.pretty unfair on patel to be introduced after sehwag got his eye in. he should have come on before vettori and ryder tbh. he might have taken a couple out with the extra bounce. plus he has consistently been our best bowler in the sub cont for a while now (most wickets in sl) so he really should be bowling before vettori..
O'Brien wants to play; he's just.. whipped by an English chick. .. *sympathises*LOL!
NZ seriously need better bowlers. Time to entice Adams or O'Brien back imo.
Yeah I am actually worried about the entire top order against Steyn. Never rated Gambhir much and he seems to be struggling now even in sub-continental conditions. Sehwag didn't look too impressive against the Australians and we all know about Dravid's recent problems. I am worried India will be 2/3 down for 50 more often than not putting huge pressure on Sachin and VVS. I don't think this NZ series is the ideal preparation and IIRC the gap between the two series is small. I am worried there will be the usual first test capitulation by India before they settle down.Rahul against Steyn isn't going to be pretty.

All because Sehwag was practically leaping out of his skin in keenness to punish Jeets poor deliveries.
did u see the couple of times he beat sehwag with drift? that's as close as anybody has gotten to getting sehwag out.
Patel dropping Sehwag was the closest anyone got to getting him out. Aside from that, Bennett dropping him off Williamson would be second.

They do - they're just sitting on the bench carrying the drinks for some strange reason.LOL!

u have to agree that patel has bowled better than his figures suggest though?Patel dropping Sehwag was the closest anyone got to getting him out. Aside from that, Bennett dropping him off Williamson would be second.
Not really. He's bowled rubbish. Maybe not 6.77 rpo rubbish, but still pretty bad. Doesn't deserve a wicket.u have to agree that patel has bowled better than his figures suggest though?
How different does it look now!Tbf back in the day Bond, Franklin, Cairns, Tuffey, Martin, Oram and Vettori were all ahead of him.
Adams would walk in now though. Arnel will be the next hard done by seamer.

It doesn't have to be. Foremost we've always needed him to be our wall, if he can deny the Saffie quicks trying to blast away our top order we will be better off.Rahul against Steyn isn't going to be pretty.
