Just like your face.Your posts are somewhat bad.

Maybe, maybe not.That explains why Siraj absolutely wrecked the top order and could/should have had like 5 wickets.
India were bowled out for 36 just less than a year ago in the micky mouse pink ball test.Heh, one of your bowlers getting a 10-fer being followed up by your side making the lowest ever Test score in this country is textbook dichotomy.
The difference is that India won that series 2-1.India were bowled out for 36 just less than a year ago in the micky mouse pink ball test.
Blackcaps almost doubled it!!
Last time NZ were in Australia, none of the matches went to the 5th day so you should probably stick to England and New Zealand.Is test cricket not the kind of game you like to see where late on day 5 all 4 results are possible, everyone is on
edge biting their fingernails, the outcome on a knifes edge.
For me it's no to playing tests in India, much more attractive would be more tours to England or Australia.
He averages 40 in India and the UAE.If Wagner had played in the last game, NZ might have been chasing 180-200 instead of 280.
And if he had played in this game, India may have got around 225-250 instead of 325 and it would have been game on.
honestly felt at the time that 300+ in the first innings took the game away from nz.
But then Ajaz may have only got like 7 wickets and not 10. But I'd rather take that & compete than take 10-fer and be completely out of the game.
Wagner non-selection has to be the dumbest selection call of the series. How do you make the same mistake TWICE?!
You saw what Southee and Kyle did in the last game? Imagine Wagner there too. India being 50-5 in 2nd innings would have been 150 all out. The two seamers simply ran out of company with spinners being of no help then. Wagner would have rattled at least a few of the newer indian batsmen.He averages 40 in India and the UAE.
Somerville batted the whole 1st session on day 5 & saved NZ somewhat. Kinda evened out in the end.You saw what Southee and Kyle did in the last game? Imagine Wagner there too.

Sommerville has been nothing but a total liability with the ball. At least Wagner would have complemented the pace attack and helped build pressure.
Wagner should have been picked in Kanpur with the benefit of hindsight. But the stats show that it wasn't a mistake, not picking him before the start of the test.You saw what Southee and Kyle did in the last game? Imagine Wagner there too.

Yes but Nz wouldn't have needed all that saving the game if the target was 180 instead of 280.Somerville batted the whole 1st session on day 5 & saved NZ somewhat. Kinda evened out in the end.
But no reason to pick him in 2nd test over Wagner.
40 per wicket would have been just fine. Somerville and Ravindra got 0/143 between them, so 3-4 wickets wouldHe averages 40 in India and the UAE.
New Zealand would have won had Wagner been picked.40 per wicket would have been just fine. Somerville and Ravindra got 0/143 between them, so 3-4 wickets would
have made a huge difference. More to the point he would have annoyed the **** out of the batsman, as he always does,
and thus often leading to a wicket at the other end. It was a no brainer he should have played, costly selection mistake.
You may even ask yourself what was he even doing there in the first place if he wasn't going to play?
true, but at least they played on pitches where you could play cricket.Last time NZ were in Australia, none of the matches went to the 5th day so you should probably stick to England and New Zealand.
This was our exact feeling when we were smashed 2-0 last year. So I have sympathy for you ?true, but at least they played on pitches where you could play cricket.
You could play cricket anywhere but you need bats and especially balls.true, but at least they played on pitches where you could play cricket.
