Jeez, you'd think Cricinfo could update their profile photo of Young.

Really hope Rachin comes in to bat above Blundell, he's too good to be batting at 7.

Just on height…Ishant baffles me because all of the listings on the internet have him like 6’3”, 6’4” which is inexplicable under listing. The guy is huge. Every bit of 6’6”.

You must have seen that same side-on camera shot as I did where he made the ump look like Kruger van Wyk.

You'd most definitely think Young would want them to.

That's amazing feat, 100 partnership batting second. There's a first for everything.

Keep him Young. Maybe cricinfo thinks young is his nick name

We have younghusband in firebirds. A very lucky wifey, got to be.

Have thought this for years tbh but there are surprisingly few times in life where Ishant Sharma’s height comes up organically in conversation. Also that umpire is literally shorter than van Wyk.

Oof. Latham looking shaky in this Ashwin over.

 

[Bahnz]

That's a beautiful shot from Young. So pleasing on the eye.

 

[nzfan]

Play this last hour without losing any wicket and we'll be going into tomorrow seriously upbeat. Time for Latham to dig in a bit here. Any little purchase Ashwin sees he'll make it very hard for us. Time to respect the bowling. No need to be proactive right now.

Siva is such a bad commentator

Axar gets hit for a four - "some of these guys don't impart enough spin"
Axar bowls one that grips and beats the outside edge, making Siva look silly - "Whatever he did, he needs to do it more"

 

[Bahnz]

Latham's about to Latham any second now.

 

[Athlai]

Deserved a wicket there

 

[thierry henry]

Is it gonna be dark at 4pm every day in this joint

 

[thierry henry]

Is Latham actually better than his average, given how often he grinds for 40(120) which is super useful for an opener?

Sounds more like a parent.

Bharat is in the squad as backup keeper. Must get a go next match

I haven't seem much of him, but must be good coz he is getting a go ahead of so many other guys like Kishan, Samson, etc.

India all good now? No covid? Crowd chilled out, no masks
