Very disappointing Test from Bumrah.

Hope someone has the brains and the balls to bench Bumrah during the summer. If he's having trouble with his length, work it out in the nets, but you don't want your so-called spearhead unable to course-correct during a Test.

Whatever it takes!!!
I dont think so at all... unless they have a good second spinner hidden away somewhere.

Despite Indian bowlers bowling well so far they're under cooked. They haven't played test cricket since ages. Get to 30/0 and all sorts of scoring opportunities will be presented

Dude averages 26. I would have never believed that when he was "taking the shine off the ball" in the West Indies

He has beaten the outside edge on many occasions in this game, not his best effort, but not bad at all. I do agree that he has lacked in accuracy here and there, but could have easily had a couple of wickets in the first innings.

Should've added "in these conditions", which tbf have been anything but neutral.

Everyone's beaten the bat, the conditions are extremely helpful. But in between those he's been pretty wayward and has looked the worst pacer in the test apart from CdG if he counts.

I know this is seaming conditions but this is really nothing like NZ conditions at all.

We arent really playing two spinners tbh, so no sure why people keep saying that. Jadeja's one of our best batsman and should be playing even if he didnt bowl a ball

LOL, Vaughan always uses that every time he has to say something good about Asian players. Funny thing was that he was constantly saying that after India's series win in Australia(when they were playing against Eng in India).

Oh not taking anything away from NZ at all. But in terms of batsmen having to counter unfamiliar conditions, this is about as alien as it gets for Indians. No let up in lateral movement at all.

Yeah dare I say it, India would prefer batting in New Zealand to batting here. It swings later in NZ but not for as long.

I wouldn't care at all if we lose this game. New Zealand needs some sort of consolation after the heartbreak in WC. Draw would also be good but it ain't happening. And New Zealand have been slightly ahead of India in this game overall, the sun was out since yesterday, we couldn't make the most of the improved batting conditions. Exceptional bowling by NZ.

WE could have had our two warm up games and it would still have been even if the weather was like this. At the same time, in the actual game, there have been so many opportunities where we could have seized control of the game and let it go. Also, NZ are an awesome side and a lot of good balls were bowled and negotiated by them and fully deserve a win after such quality cricket.

True neutral conditions somewhere like Australia?
