Oh yeah...

too bloody good, nuts

 

[Xix2565]

Uh sorry fellow Kiwis. Didn't expect that.

 

[Hurricane2]

**** that spun a mile
Bad luck Rachin
At least not a duck on debut
At first I thought he played on
It nearly turned 45 degrees

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Need to bat out the day and be as close to parity as possible. The win isn't an option now, but a fighting draw would be good

 

[Gnske]

This is all Latham's fault. 95 runs cost 6 wickets.

Also Rachin is overrated and no better than a poor man's Mitch Santner

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wow didn't even take the inside edge. Classic Jadeja.

 

[hendrix]

Bugger.

This will likely not last long from here.

 

[straw man]

Rachin always looked classy while he was in, but tough for a batsman new to these conditions - doubt he's seen many balls turn like that before.

 

[Hurricane2]

I mean you are not going to get a ball like that facing Anaru kitchens left arm spin in Dunedin even at the end of the season
He will be better for the experience

 

[Zinzan]

Not sure the point of Blundell's innings here. 5 off 50 balls. Any ball it's going to roll along the ground or spin square, so might as well try to score runs.

 

[thierry henry]

So this was always inevitable

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bugger.

Don't worry warchief Thrall is going to club a fifty for sure.

 

[Mike5181]

I'd rather that Ravindra innings vs. whatever the **** Blundell has been trying to do up until this point.

 

[thierry henry]

Re: the Nicholls dismissal, I could swear I remember having a conversation here before about how umpire’s call on impact was no longer a thing (rightfully, because it’s a yes or no question). Did I imagine that?

 

[Zinzan]

I'd rather that Ravindra innings vs. whatever the **** Blundell has been trying to do up until this point.

Yep, garbage wickets like this, might as well have a lick. Spinning square and rolling along the ground on day 3. You can't survive time.

LOL
Hilarious post
I agree

Yup, at least Ravindra was looking to score and rotate the strike.

 

[_Ed_]

This is too high, surely.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ishant has pretty clearly put on some weight hasn't he? Looked kinda plump in England too.
