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

India will definitely look to score faster post lunch, but I also get the feeling that India feel that they have enough runs regardless and back themselves to bowl NZ out for well below whatever target that's set.

Too often Craig's good when the tone of the game is cruisy and he can mentally freewheel it. Sadly following the pattern of many, many other Auckland red ball players.
Was about to like before reading the 2nd sentence. The first sentence stands on it's own.

Gotta step on the gas now, look to hit 350-375 halfway through the session and give us 4.5 sessions to bowl them out.

Can totally see Nohit cruising to an effortless 50 not to retain his spot. WAC.

If he does that while Craig and Santa continue their good work then fair play to him imo. Doesn't look easy to bat out there.

They're still runs in difficult conditions against good bowling*, lets not pretend we won't be jerking it to Rahane if he goes big here.

*as long as KW stops bowling trash
Sure I would but you're missing the point. I don't think getting runs here merits a retention in the squad ahead of a fifth bowler if they look at that strategy in the next test. I'm not saying runs here are totally unimpressive, just completely useless and irrelevant to the match.

That time of the match again where you can't go a minute without hearing the word declare
