***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

[duffer]

Oh great, it's Rohit time.

 

[Woodster]

Wow!! The decision to go to Sodhi just before lunch pays dividends with the wicket of the set batsman Vijay. Turning into a massive session for NZ.

 

[cnerd123]

Sloppy.

Nohit's gonna get out for a scratchy 12 or smth now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pitch looks dead, as expected. Santner giving to many 4 balls away. And the only way the India batsmen look like they may miss the ball, is if they were blindfold.

All I feel right now is sympathy for NZ...

 

[StephenZA]

I apologise for my comments earlier this pitch is a minefield since lunch....

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rohit to meme a hundred here and shut everyone up.

 

[StephenZA]

I already apologised below... (or above!)

 

[Shri]

Bahaha, kiwis don't celebrate just yet. Ashwin will still **** you up and get a 100.

 

[Woodster]

He's deserved that, nobody is ever going to admit it but he's been good so far Sodhi.

I've only seen him in this afternoon session today but he has been very good. He bowled a couple of four balls in his first spell of this session and he's not extracted big turn but he's certainly put enough in the right areas consistently enough to earn that reward. Could be a real handful when it inevitably starts ragging big.

Ashwin and Jadeja at 8/9 is hax

 

[Zinzan]

Fleming doesn't pull his punches

Fleming's been awesome. I couldn't agree more with his criticism of Craig's defensive bowling.

 

[Zinzan]

May still miss him in the series, but honestly don't think Southee would have made any difference today based on what we've seen to date.

 

[cnerd123]

Ashwin and Jadeja at 8/9 is hax

Did you hear that Jadeja has 3 first class 300s?

No? Well you're gonna hear all about it when he comes out to bat.

 

[Daemon]

Could've had Mishra at 10 and Bhuv at 11 too.

 

[Shri]

May still miss him in the series, but honestly don't think Southee would have made any difference today based on what we've seen to date.

He would have...by leaking about 30 runs more at this stage. Rahul would have got his 50 before his dismissal.

 

[Daemon]

Pretty impressive from NZ, other than that disappointing line from Craig they were good. 350 all out would set it up superbly.

yeah that was a weird line.

i thought craig bowled the best of the 3 spinners, even though santner took the wickets he still had too many loose balls imo.

 

[vcs]

Nohit needs to earn his paycheck for once. Ashwin's due a few failures and Jadeja's just a hack these days with the bat.

 

[ImpatientLime]

kohli getting bantered out by wagner

amazing scenes

Be Interesting whether KW would take 350 if offered now.
