Southee averages 23.3 in tests in Asia!

I don't like this plan from Kane, we're using spin to tie an end. We should be using spin to knock them over. Kane has never come across as one that rates spin bowling. We're bowling spin with one day field.

He’s a good judge. Spinners are terrible. They’re people who hang out with cricketers.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah anything over 200 would take some chasing

A target of 200 would see India 60/40 favourites for mine

 

[Prince EWS]

Ashwin to do a Harbhajan.

 

[Zinzan]

Iyer is batting quite well today. No panic or t20 shots so far.

Yep, has played and miss a few but importantly doesn't chase the ball and manages to hold his line.

 

[hendrix]

Ashwin to do a Harbhajan.

over here giving me PTSD

 

[Zinzan]

Hope Ravindra doesn't give freebies away here.

 

[_Ed_]

Encouraging start by Ravindra.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Some very good signs for future tours for both India and NZ this month. Eswaran and Saini doing well in SA, and Southee running through India A.

 

[Zinzan]

Lord Collin would have been useful on this track bowling wicket to wicket.

 

[hendrix]

Think I prefer spin isn't real theory. KJ please.

 

[nzfan]

There's bound to be a partnership at some point in time. I guess if India is looking to score we stand better chance I feel.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Full ball lbw incoming

 

[Zinzan]

Yes KJ a couple before & after lunch

 

[OverratedSanity]

Full ball lbw incoming

Oof almost

 

[_Ed_]

Hmm, not sure about spin from both ends.

 

[hendrix]

Imagine being able to bring Wagner on now.

 

[Gob]

This is slipping away from nz. Needs to bring the big dude

 

[SteveNZ]

Encouraging start by Ravindra.

Far too flat i thought- same issue every spinner is having. It feels like we've lapsed into a holding role before lunch, which is poor.

Seam at both ends after lunch please.

 

[Zinzan]

Hmm, not sure about spin from both ends.

Even Dominic Cork's joining our chorus. Get KJ on for 1.
