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

Would've been lucky to hit 5th stump

 

[wellAlbidarned]

blah blah blah DRS blah blah blah

Shouldn't be sweeping straight full balls from a left arm over spinner bowling into the rough this close to end of the session anyways.

If it's hitting the stumps it's pitching outside leg

If it's pitching on the stumps it'll be turning past off stump

Sweeping is exactly what you should be doing

 

[duffer]

Tucks must've thought it hit the front pad first.

 

[Shri]

I like DRS as it is now -absent.

To any other spinner other than Jadeja though, with him you never know because he deliberately doesn't turn half of them lol.

Oh yes the 'umpire doesn't like my shot' mode of dismissal. Rule 17:2/3 right.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, you can see how he gave that out, at live speed it does kinda look like it hits the front pad right on middle.

Yeah, bad shot, but doesn't mean we can't point out that Ronchi would have been not out had the ICC and Indian authorities managed to come to some agreement on DRS.

Man those are two massive assumptions. Could just pitch in line and go on straight. Why not just straight bat the straight balls back down, like he was doing all innings, and save the sweep for the balls very clearly pitching outside leg,

 

[duffer]

Would've given Jaddu one more over tbh.

Heh. It's my favourite way of giving batsmen out in friendly games tbf.

 

[Athlai]

Boo shami boo

 

[Zinzan]

New ball might just help NZ here. Santner's in and Watling's no mug against the new ball, and they're bound to bowl pace for a few overs now.

Ashwin's pretty good with the new ball; could see him come on next.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

That's especially frustrating, because Ronchi could have got a few quick runs against the new ball, as well.

I hope NZ get their share of luck with decisions in the second innings. Maybe we should appeal more.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah think taking the new ball was a poor decision

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's a really rubbish call. Feel for Ronchi. Also, have they even shown ball tracking on the replay? Looks really filthy when they refuse to show them when a poor decision goes India's way. It's happened before too, in the SA of series iirc.

 

[Shri]

Ashwin needs some pain killers and some tape. I don't care if its duct tape, just make him spin it again.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Man those are two massive assumptions. Could just pitch in line and go on straight. Why not just straight bat the straight balls back down, like he was doing all innings, and save the sweep for the balls very clearly pitching outside leg,

because if jadeja is allowed to bowl that line and length consistently it's game over. Gotta force him away from it. driving straight down the ground to the spinners on this deck is risky too because it's too easy to pop one up to the bowler or into the covers.

Do they have ball tracking? I can't remember the last time they used that for a India home test; albeit I haven't watched a lot of them.

Also TBF, thay was plumb if it hit him on the front toe and I can see why the umpire thought that happened.
