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

That's the way Henry, make them play. I hope Boult learns from that.

 

[straw man]

Henry Henry Henry!

And here was me wanting him to bowl to the right hander.

 

[Burgey]

Apparently Asian teams had won 13 of the last 13 tosses in their home Tests before this one. Now it's 14 out of 14...

The probability of guessing correctly 14 times in a row is 0.0029

They don't get to guess if they're the home side ;-)

 

[Athlai]

Yesssss

This is happening.

 

[indiaholic]

Rahane special incoming.

 

[Zinzan]

Of course, but that would be the odds if from the get-go if the question was around the home side winning 14 tosses in a row. Obviously each individual one is 50/50.

 

[_Ed_]

Excellent first two balls of this over from Boult.

 

[Zinzan]

Much better Boult, need to keep it there.

Dhawan you spud. Bring back Gambhir

 

[honestbharani]

What is that black thingy NZ bowlers are wearing on their bowling hand elbows??

 

[Zinzan]

Dhawan you spud. Bring back Gambhir

Playing on is always a little unlucky tbf, but it's not the first time I've seen Dhawan dismissed that way.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wouldn't be surprised if this pitch flattened out quickly. Just need to get through the first two sessions.

 

[indiaholic]

It is to ensure their elbows are straight.

 

[honestbharani]

No mate.. The Old Man Burgey meant to say that the visiting sides cal, the toss, not the home side.

Work computers don't have flash player updated

I'm not an admin so I can't update it.

Because it's not updated, I can't watch this Test at work.

Someone please tell me how I can convince the IT Dept to update Flash on all computers without incriminating myself

 

[honestbharani]

Tell them it is to watch work sites...

 

[Zinzan]

No mate.. The Old Man Burgey meant to say that the visiting sides cal, the toss, not the home side.

I know that, I'm talking about the odds of the home side winning 14 in a row, regardless of whether it's heads or tails or who calls. If you want it to be phased as the 'away side losing 14 in a row', that's fine. It doesn't change the odds.

 

[harsh.ag]

Picking Dhawan is one of the dumbest things India can do. When Gambhir and Mayank are available. He's been in terrible form.

Yeah.. the odds of the visiting skips calling it wrong 14 times in a row is the way to put it, I suppose..
