[straw man]

Think NZ would be happy with the session average of another 2 wickets costing 77 here.

Jadeja to score 50

 

[straw man]

Feel like Jadeja always scores runs against NZ so probably.

 

[Athlai]

India have a high quality lower order but they lack guts, which is why we roll them for 100 more this session

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Saha isn't a great 7 is he? Although Axar is a gun at 9 - better than Southee.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Would love 250 all out

Quality all the way down. But no fighting spirit.

Jadeja and Ashwin are fighters

Hearts of field mice

Sword celebration coming up later

And Ashwin was clearly gutless in that 3rd test in Australia. Too scared to go to the Gabba.

 

[Athlai]

It's what seperates the best Test team in the world from the runners up

Want to ask NZers here, how do we make a Kyle Jamieson? Is there a set of instructions to follow? Asking for a friend.

Somervilles last spell was getting some nice drift at times and good control - would say he's outbowled Ajaz somewhat despite going mostly at right handers.

Yeah, say what you like about sommers Somerville, he’s kept a lid on things while the other spinners have bowled a lot of pies.

This feels marvellously close to my arguments for Santa/Somerville vs Tastle/Sodhi in the pre Ajaz days

Do a lot of push ups and sit ups and drink plenty of juice.

 

[thierry henry]

400+ on here

 

[Athlai]

Hold up. We've won two tests in India? Nice

 

[thierry henry]

Gonna be a lot of talk about picking 3 seamers now of course, but would you have had KJ batting 7 then? Or only picked Ajaz and Rachin as spinners? #belatedteamchat
