Stokes is a batsman who's handy with the ball, as opposed to a genuine all-rounder to be fair. Woakes, now, he's a proper allrounder who's likely to compete with Ashwin in the next 5 years or so.

He's way more than handy with the ball. Stokes is a bloody gun bowler. Fast, movement in the air and off the seam, reverses the ball. He's very good.

Would probably make plenty of sides as a third seamer alone if he wasn't injured so often.

Is Guptill really going to be replaced with Devcich next test? Really? Really really?

Guptill score sweeps: I'm unsure whether with a near-impossible run-chase he'll score a relative success (26) or truly exemplify his test opening career with a duck. Going for the former:

straw man: 26

This is good for India to get bowled out asap tbh, no point scrapping around for another 20-30 runs for the sake of it. They've already got about 100 runs more that we could chase down on this on our very best day, given the conditions and bowling attack.

The more time they spend on that pitch, the more it deteriorates when NZ bat. Doesn't matter atm but yeah.

Kinda bummed I can't tune in to watch Gup's last test innings. It's the kinda thing you really want to settle in, open a bottle of wine, grab the hand sanitiser and tissues, and really just make an afternoon of, y'know?

If you're having stamina issues Bahnzy, I can recommend PC-muscle training.

Clearly I don't rate his bowling as much as you do .,.. Woakes on the other hand... now he's a bowler.

You take your most experienced slip fielder and put him at short leg? When the slip fielding is as bad as it usually is? Kohli is an idiot.

I'd actually bowl the screamer ahead of Ashwin if the pace men don't break through here.

I mean put Gambhir in there. No one would care if he gets smashed in the grill a couple of times.
