Runs have dried up which shouldn’t matter but usually leads to something

Sounds more like a parent.

Also, he is constantly saying that Ash is not bowling the carrom ball Sure he can try an odd carrom ball, but it's just a variation delivery that he bowls against batters who are bad against spin(or in the shorter formats when the batsmen are having a go every other ball).

Young needs a meme/nickname.

No worries with that. Only half an hour to go. If we finish the day with no loss that'll be a massive psychological boost. Pressure is on India to do all the running, we're the visitors. We were supposed to succumb.

Doesn’t bother me but international cricketers tend to be quite mentally weak compared to the likes of big TH

Quality from Young

 

[nzfan]

Right left combination doing wonders. I guess we have the right/ left combinations all the way. That'll help.

 

[nzfan]

Ashwin is a great bowler sure but going across like he did what's that going to do? Nothing. Can't drift from there, can't turn from there either. The commentators are salivating

 

[Bahnz]

Are you actually allowed to do that? Bowling from directly in front of the umpire is something I don't think I've ever seen before (though I do remember NZ asking the umpires to remove their red ties while Malinga was bowling in a test once).

 

[Moss]

Well played Latham, holding fort. Now see out the day's play please.

 

[straw man]

So good Latham.
Can't quite believe we haven't lost a wicket.

You can as long as he keeps off the danger area but our batters would rather play those than when he bowls wide off the crease.

 

[straw man]

hmmmm
a fiddle that Latham's avoided playing for the most part

ooh, surprised he didn't get a fine tickle on that

 

[thierry henry]

What’s the record for 1 batter wrongly being given out

What happens if there's an LBW appeal and he can't see it? Surely has to always give it not out.

 

[Meridio]

Well this has been a pretty decent day so far. Let's not ruin it with a lazy wicket at the end

 

[nzfan]

Glad that was bat on pad. That was a lapse of concentration. Nothing shot.

DRS?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Right but then umpire's call should always be not out I guess.

 

[nzfan]

If not for DRS Latham would have been out twice already?
