*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[King Kane]

Conway finding his groove, sweeping and reverse sweeping well, hopefully I don't jinx him.

 

[Daemon]

But he's bowling first change! He's not being used as a peripheral 5th bowler. At least so far.

Right, I guess it’s fair to say he’s been picked as the 5th bowler/one of the frontline spinners, but he’s in the team mainly because of his batting? Semantics anyways.

 

[Spark]

Look I'm sure they've practiced this and what not but surely there's little to no chance that short gully position is catching anything but the loopiest of loopy catches when he's literally on his knees.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Too flat, no pressure being created. NZ will be kicking themselves if they don't make at least 300 here. 350 even.

 

[Spark]

Pant's struggling a bit out there

 

[straw man]

A jinx, but I only caught the coverage from about the 11th over where one ripped hard past Conway's offstump, and the turn since then does not seem to have been as pronounced as that.

... and Young almost edges a straight one.

 

[Spark]

What a bad way to get out lol

 

[Arachnodouche]

Good man, Sarfaraz.

 

[straw man]

That is such an annoying wicket

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Safaraz worth his weight in gold yes really

 

[Moss]

Amazing awareness from Sarfraz. Young should be kicking himself though, can't be giving away wickets to deliveries like that.

 

[King Kane]

Sarfaraz calling for a review, Young doesn't look confident,, he's got a feather on that.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Wasted review. How does Jadeja go along with that as a bowler? Seriously, guy is great and all but has dung for brains in certain situations.

 

[Spark]

Poor review

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

India to rename the DRS to the SRS

 

[King Kane]

One good review for India and now one bad one.

Sarfaraz should be in charge of India's reviews.

 

[ataraxia]

Plz score another ton Rachin

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Jfc that's a bit of rag before lunch, not a bad toss to win isn't it

 

[mackembhoy]

One good review for India and now one bad one.

Sarfaraz should be in charge of India's reviews.

I'm sure I remember Rohit not listening to Sarfaraz on a review against England that turned out to be out.

Not that it mattered in the end as we will have lost the game. But a lack of respect for the bloke definitely!

 

[Spark]

A bit surprised Jurel hasn't just been picked here as a specialist keeper. Pant does not look comfortable behind the stumps at all.
