Pitch looks flat so Kiwis doing well

it always does until it’s India’s turn to bowl.

 

[thierry henry]

India still on for a huge score here given Southee can't bowl forever and the spinners average infinity

 

[honestbharani]

It's an abomination that Southee and Jamieson bowl the rest of the innings having delivered a .4 and .2 over respectively. Worst. Umpires should order them to bowl a split makeup over imo.

Absolute pet peeve of mine with cricket too. Whole numbers are beautiful, damnit...

THREE QUARTER BALL

2nd 5 fer for Southee in India.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Great bowling.

 

[Gnske]

Southee haters in shambles

 

[straw man]

Congrats Southee, been brilliant this morning.

Wickets continue to track 1:1 with the Pakistan/Bangladesh game too.

No heart

Southee today.

 

[nzfan]

Terrific come back and swinging heaps. Amazing stuff Southee... that missed stumping is going to cost us some dear runs.

Who the heck is a Southee hater these days except for maybe Burgey2016

 

[eroticfishcake]

STAT: Tim Southee - first visiting fast bowler to take a five-wicket haul in Kanpur since Jan 1980

Southee haters in shambles

They have been for years.

Who the heck is a Southee hater these days except for maybe Burgey2016

I think maybe in white ball but in tests he is a beast

 

[Gnske]

Keeping India under 350 would actually be a hell of a decent effort.

 

[nzfan]

Unbelievable stuff from Southee... what a comeback.

 

[nzfan]

Hoping we don't let the tail wag here. Get them under 330 and we may have a slight chance to even it out with the bat.

 

[Athlai]

Need someone to update me with the spin vs pace wickets ratios
