Who deserves the MoM, Ajaz or Mayank?

Was absolutely brilliant by Mayank but surely 10 in an innings is too much to look past.

Kimble just recorded a message for Ajaz Patel welcoming him to the club.

This is the pitch Jamieson and Southee went wicketless on? Lmao. Siraj looked unplayable.

 

[honestbharani]

Henry’s getting bowled on this pitch

good call.

 

[trundler]

What an incredible scorecard to walk up to. Santner's test career is over and Jamieson just got outbowled by Siraj. Nice

Let us all be totally honest, is there anyone who didn't expect this to happen?
Playing test cricket in India is just a total waste of time, and I look forward to the day test cricket is banned there.
That may not happen, but in effect it can if teams decide to boycott test matches there.
This may sound harsh on India, but after watching England play a series there last year, it just isn't cricket.
On day 1, after each ball landed on the pitch a huge puff of dust came up, and so it went for every ball left in the test.
In reality just a joke, pitches in the back yard are more reliable.
Are there others who think the same or am I just thinking too deep about it all?

Haha, terrible dropped catch, but it's a no ball anyway.

 

[Test fan]

Gill dropped a sitter .oh well that was a no ball

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jayant is such a nothing bowler

 

[NZTailender]

Who put money on Jamieson top score for our innings?

That explains why Siraj absolutely wrecked the top order and could/should have had like 5 wickets.

Lol pitch is fine.. Have you seen the mambas which India got in 2020 in NZ? Why don't offer India a test match at Mount Maunganui instead of Christchurch or Basin reserve when we tour NZ? Then we'll talk

 

[Moss]

Gah. All the hard work in keeping the series alive till date being frittered away.

 

[_Ed_]

I was hoping for at least a meme six or two from Southee before he inevitably got out, but no.

Let it go. Let's be gracious in defeat.

i'm already half expecting this post to become cw copypasta

 

[Fuller Pilch]

In the 2nd innings (which probably isn't far away) I'd like to see Somerville at 3 and Mitchell at 8.
