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

[Zinzan]

Yeah Sunil, what a mystery it is that GG looks more comfortable here than he did in England.

 

[honestbharani]

Great catch...what's so unlucky about that eh Ravi?

He did well to stay low and somehow hold on to it but it was lucky that it stuck into his body, right?

 

[Zinzan]

Patel does get more loop than he used to.

 

[indiaholic]

Poor Gambhir. Forced into reckless aggression because of Pujara's terrible strike rate.

 

[Zinzan]

2-3 over spells from Boult and Henry by the looks. Don't mind this idea tbh.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Wagner must be so dark seeing ****s like Guptill continuously selected when he's dropped at the first opportunity so often.

Not only that, but if Guptill wasn't such a miserable failure there wouldn't be as much of a need to shore up the batting by including Neesham. I think Guptill has played a pretty big role in Wagner's demise in this match.

 

[indiaholic]

Holy ****. They bring drinks on a tray? And the guy carrying the drinks wears a waistcoat? Why?

 

[NZTailender]

Nathan: "The commentators brought up NZ doing little physical preparation ahead of this Test due to the intensity of the last one, and how Waggles lost so much weight in the heat. It's entirely possible that's why he was left out, because he put in so much effort" They said Wagner supposedly lost 3.5 kilos on one day.

This might an innings loss for us.

India to score big in the first innings then Ashwin and Jadeja. to roll us twice to win within 3 days.

The Wagner-Neesham change makes no sense.

Wagner would have scored as many as Neesham in these conditions.

Should have dropped Guptill for Neesham if anything.

 

[straw man]

Heh, Gambhir played for the shape but the ball isn't swinging.

 

[James]

The Wagner-Neesham change makes no sense.

Wagner would have scored as many as Neesham in these conditions.

Should have dropped Guptill for Neesham if anything.

They said on commentary recently that Wagner lost 3.5kg on Day 1 of the 2nd Test alone, so perhaps he's feeling the affects of the hot Indian conditions and needs a rest.

I can't remember any good Pujara-Kohli partnerships. Time for that to change.

EDIT : Forgot about the 2nd innings at Jo'burg. That was awesome.

 

[_Ed_]

This crowd is fantastic, by the way.

 

[Zinzan]

Boult's bowled a lot better today & right from the get-go. Even those couple of Vijay drives on the up weren't bad deliveries. I've been critical of him wasting the new ball a bit lately, but no complaints today. Better control & speeds.

 

[Jono]

I can't remember any good Pujara-Kohli partnerships. Time for that to change.

EDIT : Forgot about the 2nd innings at Jo'burg. That was awesome.

Yep, especially since Kohli had run Pujara out in the first dig, lol

 

[Zinzan]

This crowd is fantastic, by the way.

Stark contrast to the last where they had about 3 people on day 4.

 

[Zinzan]

Neesham. That big long erratic arm. I remember you.

 

[harsh.ag]

Jeets and Neesham playing for NZ together! Never thought I would live to see the day. Amaze selection.

This might an innings loss for us.

India to score big in the first innings then Ashwin and Jadeja. to roll us twice to win within 3 days.

lol it's first session, day 1 and they're 1 for 75.

Each match we've thought they'd post a big innings score and roll us with spin like dogs. We've not fared well but we've fought. ffs no one has scored a century in the series, give our bowlers some credit in being able to do some work. Sodhi and Craig aren't even playing ffs.
