*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

Wonder how this stacks up against more bowlers.

I've no idea how to manipulate Cricinfo to give someone's results if they played more than x games like this.

Thanks for sharing never even heard of that.

But a really good view of how Bumrah stacks up.

India have a tough call for the next game between Gill and Rahul. I genuinely don’t know which one I’d go for atm but I think they’ll give Rahul the series. They haven’t shifted him around the batting order in this latest run of games unlike previous times despite there being opportunities to do so, which to me shows they’re quite set on him having a proper go.

Gill will walk back in, you should be worried for Sarfaraz vs Rahul.

Yeah you’re probably right actually. Doubt Kohli will continue at #3.

Shubman Gill will slot back in as India didn't have a natural no.3 in the first test also Gill is actually having quite a good calender year,

In 8 tests this year he has scored 662 runs @50.92 with a 3 test hundreds.

Well played NZ. Deserving victory.

Indian team management needs to be bitch slapped for the toss decision though. Deserving loss. One of the most brain dead decisions in cricket history.

People are massively overplaying the toss call. Both teams said they'd have batted, neither knew there was gonna be that amount of inconsistent bounce and 22+ overs of extreme seam movement.

Agree. NZ started with only 2 slips on day 1 (2).

 

[thundaboult]

Just a bunch of new zealand cricket athletes living up to their very high potential. This is more like it and should always be expecting more of the same.

India's the home side and should've had more access to "insider" knowledge and if not that then they should've at least acknowledged what their eyes couldn't have failed to tell them. IMO they just followed the accepted thinking that batting first implies you're being aggressive/playing to win/making all the plays. Stubborn and overly optimistic of their abilities.

That's not the point I made - I'm not critical of the call at the toss. I'm critical of the failure to read what the pitch was doing once they'd made that call, and adjust their approach to put some sort of score up that wasn't 46.

I agree with the above, it was stubborn and wildly over aggressive to bat that way when there was sufficient evidence that it was a tough deck that would do plenty for the first session

Amazing.

Also, holy **** Waqar.

It would never happen but for tests 2 and 3 I'd love to see a top 7 of:

Conway
Young
Williamson
Ravindra
Mitchell
Latham (c & wk)
Phillips


Blundell rested as he looks all at sea and completely shot. He is really struggling. Latham's keeping is not much worse on current form.

Latham really struggles against elite pace, but is a gun player of spin. It is huge pressure for a new captain to keep and bat 6, but Young looks better equipped to see off Bumrah

This is a great tactical switch, but too radical an idea for this side.

 

[straw man]

Tbh I wouldn't go for that - Latham's keeping was not good in recent ODIs either.

It's a fair point that it's rough to leave Young out next test, though you might activate his PTSD by promoting him back to opener too.

Phillips to open imo

 

[straw man]

Cool gives a chance to get Bracewell into the side

He and Phillips can alternate offspin/keeping duties over-by-over.
