***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

[OverratedSanity]

He's been Indias best test bowler as of recent.

Statistically, yeah. Still think Shami's outbowled him almost every innings

i got 4 likes on my post and you only got 1 therefore i'm right

2, Pews doesn't count, he'd disagree with me if I said red wine was red and NZT voted both ways

 

[Athlai]

Well that went about as poorly as possible.

I look forward to that 3rd Test in Dunedin.

OhwaitFML

 

[Sachin95]

Arguable, but what really maters? statistics. Last test he took 9 wickets, this test in the first innings hes taken 6. Fantastic and great to see

Which means you got 0.

 

[_Ed_]

Kind of peeved about those 7 overs not being bowled because of the slow over rate. Bowling at a new batsman (I realise it wouldn't have been Ishant) late in the day could have been a good opportunity to pick up another wicket.

 

[benchmark00]

you realise that's the point of a nightwatchman right?

Hahaha, yeah.

 

[Zinzan]

i got 4 likes on my post and you only got 1 therefore i'm right

but really, you'd rather sharma out than dhawan

In all seriousness though, I just thought that was stupid taking a single off the very first ball of the next over when Sharma had looked so clueless in the previous over and there were still 2 to go at that point.

 

[Bahnz]

India 91/2 at stumps.

Not bad.

 

[Prince EWS]

Red wine is violet ftr.

 

[benchmark00]

So the point is to expose them to as many deliveries as you can late in the evening increasing the chance that he gets out and the batsman you wanted to protect in the first place has to come out. Right..

A nightwatchman's job is to protect the recognised batsman/batsmen. It isn't to stick around so you can ton up in the morning.

Otherwise you just bring out Kohli and tell Dhawan not to take singles.

OH well Kiwis, at least the Auckland nines is on tomorrow to distract us if things don't go well in the morning session

 

[ajdude]

Which means you got 0.

Was waiting for that Richard and you didn't disappoint. Although the colour actually varies between purple and violet depending on the brew.

 

[eroticfishcake]

The last thing i imagined was Dhawan scoring a good 50 on a green deck...good for india

 

[Prince EWS]

Was waiting for that Richard and you didn't disappoint.

Disagree with this.

 

[Mike5181]

Somehow we need to get India out for around 250

 

[straw man]

If you can't beat em, eat Indian for dinner and make the pain of a ****ty day of cricket go away

 

[eroticfishcake]

Ishant now averages 36.56 at an average of 65.5
He'd be so happy
