*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[Qlder]

Sarfaraz is a beast in Asia but think he could struggle badly in the southern hemisphere if he plays there. Gill likely comes back in for the BGT.

You've got a fantastic Test going on vs NZ with a great hundred from Sarfaraz and you're talking about BGT where he'll apparently be dropped

 

[Meridio]

So it wasn't as dumb a review as I thought, still another wasted review though.

It was the umpire's review, not ours

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pant has had some real good fortune this innings. His attacking shots always look kamikaze but his defense isn't as secure as it usually is.

 

[King Kane]

O'Rourke bowling some good short balls but he needs to bowl a yorker, surely Southee has taught him to bowl one..

Haha. I am enjoying it. Just think Australia is Gill's best conditions and it's the opposite for Sarfaraz. Grassier wickets won't help either though.

 

[BazBall21]

These two need to bat and bat some more. Some turn and bounce.

 

[BazBall21]

Don't think Pant is an attractive batsman but he really gives it the kitchen sink. Fast hands.

Depends on how you define it.

Grassier wickets won't help gill either tbf. Gill was good on the slower decks last time. He'll struggle massively against hazelwood and cummins if the pitches are as pace friendly as they've been recently.

 

[King Kane]

Ajaz bowling into Pant's wheelhouse here, too wide outside off, needs to bowl a tighter line to him.

He looks more attractive when he is playing against other teams.

Yeah agree. I said both will struggle if the wickets are grassy like they have been recently. Think Gill is good v bounce that isn't deceptive but really struggles against sideways movement.

Rachin is bowling, not Ajaz.

I missed the "either " in your post my bad

 

[Xix2565]

Southee with the new ball now.

How about giving him experience in those conditions and seeing if he can adapt like how you do with any other player ?
Who thought Lyon would be able to conquer NZ pitches with his offspin for example.

 

[OverratedSanity]

The rain came at the ideal time for this new ball. If these two manage to get through it, could be advantage India.

 

[sayon basak]

The new ball is swinging

 

[King Kane]

Rachin is bowling, not Ajaz.

Well I'm still blaming Ajaz for Rachin bowling too wide.

I think they'll go with Gill, Kohli, KL. I wouldn't play KL in Asia anymore.

Pretty just thing to do imo.
