*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[BeeGee]

Didn't need Philips, Young is doing the job.

They already almost reached the halfway mark. There is really nothing left now.

 

[ataraxia]

Could I just take a moment to complain about the over-rate? India have got through 13.2 overs in 75 minutes. That's over 5.6 minutes per over. Looks like it's irrelevant now but given the sizeable possibility of play after lunch being impossible it's absolutely criminal. They haven't been chasing leather over and over!

 

[BeeGee]

Poor Bumrah is going to have to bowl the whole innings.

 

[King Kane]

A handy 4 leg byes to get us past the halfway mark.

 

[Burgey]

Late to this, but what is the thinking behind Kohli batting three for India these days?

Cheating Indians

 

[Spark]

Ashwin not having a go at all is curious, is he fit?

 

[Spark]

This is starting to take the piss a little for how long this over is taking given literally no runs have been scored

 

[straw man]

It sure is

Shubman Gill is injured and noene else wants to do it. KL Rahul has opened before, but they preferred kohli at 3.

 

[BeeGee]

Ha ha here comes the slow down. Next will be the wides.

 

[trundler]

Ban the captain for over rate offences in addition to docking WTC points imo

I was told no one actually cares about over rates because slow over rates mean intense cricket or something

Ehhh I think that's a bit different to what's going on here

 

[straw man]

Nice shot - pleased to see Young attack as he was a little becalmed, and uncomfortable against Jadeja.

 

[King Kane]

We should win this before lunch now even with India bowling their overs at a snail's pace.

 

[trundler]

Nicely done. Should be playing with more freedom against spin. No point in being so tentative.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Rachin or O'Rourke for motm?

 

[straw man]

Kinda had a feeling Rachin wouldn't make a score second innings, but he's walked out and simply resumed his first innings. So beneficial to score this quickly.
