***Official*** India in New Zealand 2020

because they still tour better than anyone else and dominate at home

they won against the ultimate hometown heroes australia in australia. no one else except steyns sa and a one off england has done that in decades.

They only won in Australia because Australia were without the best test batsmen in the world and the best opening batsmen in the world.

Hopefully that will be the last of Pant in tests for a while. Saha would have gone better easily

 

[Burgey]

Jadeja needs to go about farming it here. Shami looks like he might go any ball.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Oh my days.... Not sure which is worse, KW giving brand new Jadeja an easy single in these conditions, or Jadeja taking it off the first ball.

Always thought Saha was quality tbh, more his keeping than his batting. Pant seems more a symptom of the batting over keeping philosophy, so if he's not scoring runs, then he needs a rest.

And then they put mid off 30 metres away and give Shami an easy single too

 

[harsh.ag]

Beautiful bowling again. This is a great NZ attack. Didn't even require Wagnerball.

 

[Burgey]

Boult to Jadeja is a good match up for NZ. Should be doing everything to keep him on strike.

It's seriously pissing off. The last blind spot left in the selection policy.

 

[Burgey]

Love me an extravagant tailender flourish after pushing one to mid off for none. Always gold.

Saha's a decent age now isn't he? Maybe that's another reason they've kept him out.

That kinda makes it all the more cruel in a way to bring him on tour

Shami needs to farm the strike here to protect Jadeja

 

[Burgey]

Barely a chance that, had to go and it was dying on him. Maybe had his weight going the wrong way slightly, but those low ones are reallllllly tough for a keeper.

Shami gone next rock anyway. Poor cricket from him, and he's one of my faves.

huehuehuehuehuehuehuehue

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Phew it wasn't CDG fielding there, for a minute I feared the worst

 

[Flem274*]

this is so defendable

 

[Burgey]

Jeez this has been a poor morning from India. Can excuse the leg side strangle a bit - wasn't a plan to bowl there and a poor ball. But Pant then Shami both very poor dismissals in the context of this game. Grind for 20 minutes ffs - every run vital.

 

[ImpatientLime]

australia lost at home to this lot?

trollololololololololololol

 

[harsh.ag]

Sometimes it seems all-rounders with their scratchy techniques, who will just play to survive, are better suited to such conditions than specialist batsmen
