*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

Can India set up an unlikely victory? A declaration an hour into tomorrow if they move things along?

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.

To be fair that particular "NZ pitch" was about as friendly a pitch for Lyon's bowling as you could possibly imagine.

India are favourites if they get through this new ball and there's no more rain.

It's not that anymore.

It turned like a Mumbai day 4 pitch

 

[sayon basak]

The new ball is doing a lot

 

[OverratedSanity]

If they dont get a breakthrough with it moving around like this they should forefeit the test imo

24 over already lost due to rain .

So not enough time for indian win .

NZ still has better chance to win if they can restrict india lead to 150 .

 

[King Kane]

It might be time to give Dipak Patel a bowl.

With Gabba bounce. I honestly don't think he bowled that well iirc but he probably would have taken a big bag against just about anyone, just totally impossible to play him on that deck when you have good length balls well outside off stump hitting batsmen basically on the chest.

 

[SteveNZ]

O'Rourke is the guy I'd be bowling with Southee, guess he'll be on soon enough

Okay bad example but my point is valid , you can't drop a batsman because you think he will fail when he hasn't been given a chance in those conditions and is scoring runs in the team

 

[OverratedSanity]

These two are running out of their share of luck here. Going to need more of it to get through this new ball it looks brutal .

 

[BazBall21]

Yeah. Good performance but some people actually think Ashwin would get the same pitches out there. Glenn Phillips took a five-fer!

 

[King Kane]

The new ball is talking, if we don't get some wickets with it then it's, time to pray for rain.

 

[Qlder]

Really good 150

Sarfaraz on 150* now has an average of 70 in both FC (70.33) and Test cricket (70.00)

Oops

Wise choice.

No shite!

Oops

This changes in a minute.

 

[BazBall21]

Pretty tame end to a good knock. Sarfaraz swung the momentum with his takedown of Ajaz Patel yesterday and India never looked back up to now. 52-4. KL needs to see off the new ball with his experience.
