Not looking forward to Taylor's cynical body language and sarcastic smirks if things don't go well in the field lol. The one thing I don't miss about his captaincy.
And speaking of smirks, there must have been an ironic one when Hesson asked if he'd mind stepping in.

I was thinking possibly Watling.

This is going to own so much more when we win.

I'm guessing he'll keep his usual spot and there'll be a straight swap between KW & Nicholls.

Southee was probably a minor blow, Neesham utterly indifferent news as far as I'm concerned, & Craig surely was the greatest blessing in disguise ever.
So really the only devastating news is KW. No?

Agree with this.

True, the first three haven't had much impact as the alternative players are similar or maybe better in these conditions.
Williamson out is truly rubbish though. Obv I hope we win the toss even more now, to get the pegging slightly closer back to the competitive mark.

Hmmmm Craig was the best spinner in the 1st test imo. Didn't bowl as many bad balls as Sants and Sodhi. Plus his drift genuinely troubled the batsmen. IMO.

You are sounding like the crapinfo commentator. Santner was easily better in terms of control and not giving away runs, and Sodhi was easily more dangerous inspite of the odd bad ball. Craig looked more like bowling good control spells a la Santner while giving away the odd easy boundary ball a la Sodhi. He was neither here nor there last test. I do think it is a blessing in disguise for NZ that he is injured. BDK though... what a blow. But this gives NZ a good chance because India can easily be complacent here and Ross Taylor seems to up his batting when captaining. So could still work out well for NZ. India have to watch out.

If what they've been saying about the pitch is accurate, the toss won't matter as much in this one. Just a really good batting track so we'll likely miss KW regardless.

why did they bring gambhir in if they weren't going to play him
surely it would make more sense to give some young kid some exposure around the squad
