*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[Burgey]

Cool euphemism

 

[Spark]

Yep, just didn't look right

 

[Silver Silva]

The last time NZ won a Test match in India was in 1988 , Ravi Shastri and Ian Smith were playing in that test match ! Incredible

Not sure what they’re arguing about. Just go home and pray for rain tomorrow.

Is he really trying to say that Bumrah could just bowl some filthy offies and Ashwin would bowl the next over? Because lmao

 

[Spark]

I mean this looks light a night game at this point

Pretty average behavior. I imagine they're trying to argue they can bowl spin, but Bumrah has two balls to go and it's dark as ****.

 

[Daemon]

Let it rain first before covering it up pls

 

[King Kane]

If we opened with Williamson and Taylor this run chase would be a breeze.

Guess they just fancied getting a wicket or two in these conditions this evening.

Dunno what the readings and parameters where but this definitely seems to be a game where most of the close umpiring calls and luck have gone against us. Both sets of batsmen have had a lot of luck though which is also weird. Glad they made them bat again but as I said, those dropped catches costing us the game, not the 46 all out.


I am just

 

[morgieb]

Monster collapse just when you thought India had a legit shot. I guess that's the problem of getting bowled out for under 50 in the first innings.

 

[SteveNZ]

Of course, the more sensible reaction is okay we understand, Bumrah is a pace bowler, you umpires have a reading that you're applying and it's really our fault anyway for ****ing up all our hard work.

 

[Silver Silva]

Would be cruel on NZ if tomorrow is a washout like Day 1

 

[Spark]

So they might only have gotten those two balls of Bumrah's offies in before we got a reenactment of Genesis 6

 

[Qlder]

Geez, lucky they went off when they did so they could get the covers on. It's bucketing down

 

[BazBall21]

Averages 35.6...downhill skier?

He is fine at scoring under match situation pressure. More to do with conditions&bowling strength.

The weather favouring IND for once in a IND-NZ game would not be cruel to NZ

Ah, I don't really think that. Jadeja's batting is really fine in most conditions against most attacks. I mean if you expect him to go in a nightmare Centurion pitch and score a century vs Steyn, Rabada and Philander, you aren't getting that; but he scored consistent runs against good attacks in well enough conditions. Not exactly a down hill skier.

 

[King Kane]

Give it a rest Rohit, it is way too dark for pace bowlers to bowl, he wouldn't want to be batting in these conditions.

 

[King Kane]

The rain has arrived, that looks torrential, I don't think we will see any more play today.
