*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

This spanking will be worth it if it keeps Rahul away from the side tbh. Fat chance of that happening with Gambhir there though.

So many strange decisions today -

Playihg 3 spinners
Batting first in these conditions
Rahul not batting 3 or 4
That weird slip formation.

That was basically a yorker. How the **** will any umpire, let alone one who played test cricket regularly, think it is missing any of the stumps?

He thought he hit it. But it was bat on foot. Understandable mistake cleared up by review as it should be.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, Latham hitting his toe is what did for him there.

Nah, even on the small mobile there it was clear the bat was nowhere near it and it was clearly a soft impact off the body.

 

[King Kane]

A better review there, that looked out, Pistol should have pulled the trigger on Latham straight away without the review.

 

[Silver Silva]

Looks like Conway found his form back just by not worrying about getting out and hitting the bowlers to all parts , so much clarity in his play.
I am convinced if Guptill adopted a similar mindset to tests like he did in odi cricket he would have been more successful, same with Buttler if he was in the Bazball setup.

Umpires these days are too scared to give lbw decisions out live even if they look obvious, they would rather a review that gets their not out overturned

 

[King Kane]

It's time for a Dilmah Tea Party. Latham may not enjoy it though after getting out just before tea.

 

[Spark]

Batting first on this thing might enter the annals alongside Nasser at Brisbane and Ponting at Edgbaston as far as bad toss decisions go

 

[Burgey]

Y no kw

 

[ataraxia]

Y no kw

He's rested against minnows because of his knee/groin.

Conway: 61 (64)
India 46 (188)

 

[danzydab]

Time for Kohli to go, averaging under 33 since Covid, is a passenger

 

[the big bambino]

Noticeable lack of PaulLennon atm. Not the first economics theory to go belly up.

 

[danzydab]

What a story Matt Henry's test career is turning out to be. Bowling average going from 48 to 30.
And raced his way to 100 wickets in 26 tests

 

[King Kane]

The sun coming out for our batsmen is helping us but knowing our luck it will probably pour down rain for the next 3 days to deny us a famous win.

Don't see anyway how it won't be 3-0 tbh. India's upgraded from the 2021 series massively.

Guess this is looking like going in the belly up department atm

 

[Athlai]

As well as being India's lowest home total, 46 is also the lowest score of any team in Asia when winning the toss and batting.

Brutal

 

[Molehill]

Somewhat ironic that in Multan they're playing two Tests on one pitch, and in Bangalore they're seemingly playing one Test on 2 pitches.
