*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[AndyZaltzHair]

Jadeja-Sundar-Ashwin is still a ridiculous 7-9 in Asian conditions, definitely not convinced India won't even still end up with a lead here. NZ definitely on top but the allrounders definitely make it hard for India to ever really be out of the game even if the top order gets blown away.

Yeah don’t see them surrendering wickets that easily and they’ve bailed India out before. Pretty decisive session coming up for Latham and co.

 

[Arachnodouche]

lol Sarfaraz taking Jadeja's calls at face value

 

[Blakey]

Okay, I still think we will win this one. Just need to put 200 on the board.

NZ need min 100 run lead to be in the drivers seat.

India could run through them for 120 or under in their second innings.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Well whatever happens now, nobody has pushed India this hard since they last lost a series at home , NZ can be proud of that and without their best batsman available.

Australia pushed us almost to the limit in 2017 especially and 2023 too, maybe to a lesser extent.

Simon Doull describing the environs like it's his second home. Which I suppose it has been for three months/year for the last fifteen years.

 

[Spark]

That was a disgusting innings. Really gross.

 

[straw man]

excellent use of Intent

 

[anonymouskefe]

little gift

 

[SteveNZ]

WTF are India doing?

 

[Silver Silva]

NZ need min 100 run lead to be in the drivers seat.

India could run through them for 120 or under in their second innings.

Definitely, also when you get into this position you start to realise the enormity of what you are about to achieve as a team , a test series win in India would be the greatest test series achievement of the 21st century , maybe of all time. Players can lose their composure thinking about that , so that's the biggest test for NZ ..
Can they hold their cool as the cricketing world loses theirs ?

He's a massive Indian sycophant. I find it a bit hard to listen to

 

[Arachnodouche]

Embarrassed for this side frankly. This has been reckless to the xtreme.

 

[Prince EWS]

That was a disgusting innings. Really gross.

Yeah dropped at slip, wild swipes galore, eventually caught at mid off, genuinely looked like a tailender the whole time.

he comes and does the cricbuzz shows as well at times, doesn't he? outside of the IPL?

Yeah they wont even let us make 150 here.

 

[Spark]

Drop dropped a slip, wild swipes galore, eventually catched at mid off, genuinely looked like a tailender the whole time.

Very nearly holed out to cover two or three overs previous playing a similar shot as well.

 

[King Kane]

Good catch from O'Rook and another terrible shot from Sarfaraz.

The Indian batsmen look like they have been playing too much IPL and not enough test cricket.

 

[Moss]

That’s a just reward after having Sarfraz dropped earlier. Probably the best I’ve seen Santner bowl in tests, though his work is far from done in this test.

 

[OverratedSanity]

ATG bad innings by sarfaraz. This has been an embarrassing batting display so far.
