Wondering what India's plans will be. Surely they are not going for a win and maybe will be looking forward to batting as long as they can.

One of the best visiting innings in India of late for sure. Match situation was relatively comfortable but India’s attack were moving in for the kill. Tremendous stuff Rachin! That’s hundreds on both his Bangalore test and ODI debuts I think? His old man (from the region) must be proud.
This is opening the floodgates I know, but O’Rourke’s build is so much more apparent seeing him live. Should be fun watching him bowl.

The audacity to say that!

I'm sorry, but you're gonna have a hard time convincing me that there's ever been a more naturally gifted NZ batsman than Rachin. I've heard tales of a young Bert Sutcliffe, but asides from that mythical paragon of batting virtue there's just no one else who can touch him.

I'd be interested to know his wingspan. He's not as tall as Jamieson but looks to have freakishly long arms.
TH took height, maybe I can become the ape-index guy

I was reading the other day that Dravid and Tendulkar's parents called their boys Rahul and Sachin because they heard the futurecricketing GOAT with a similar name would be born many years later in Wellington.

Superstition is a big thing in the subcontinent. Hope this doesn't come true.

hmm, reminds me of kane back in the day where he scored runs freely against top quality attacks...admirable urgency to move the game along, impose himself on the bowling
thats high class stuff ravindra

Sigh, he's going to have to deal with 500 people showing up when he goes to visit his family in the city isn't he?

Nah you generally want a pretty normal fields here, not because of the scoreboard but because bowlers can bowl too defensively if they don't feel they have enough protection.

He's encouraging southee to bowl straight to the left hander. This is attacking.

I like to read this post as claiming that there is some disembodied spiritual force telling Southee what to do as captain

Good point. Didn’t register it.

That was Southee's 2nd longest Test innings @73 balls. Previously, his longest innings was 56 off 82 balls vs. Pakistan at Hamilton in 2011 and 2nd longest was 38 off 68 vs. India at Nagpur in 2010.
Who was it who said Southee would benefit from a rocket up the arse before the start of this test? Might start calling you Nostradamus.
