*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

Just need to bowl them out for 46 no biggie.

150 then! The game as good as won

 

[Chin Music]

Looks like you need to bin the old boys (batters), Indian fans.

 

[Burgey]

Good luck chasing anything over 120 on this pitch.

India will need to bowl very well then

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Now just scratch way to 200

What do you think? Can India win from here?

 

[morgieb]

Not that it would've changed much but how stupid was it to bat Sundar at 9? He's so much better as a batsman than Ashwin. Zero surprise he got stranded.

He'd legit be batting Top 6 for a lot of sides. Probably should be #7 here.

What a spell from Santa. NZ winning this series might be even more wtf tier than Bangladesh winning against Pakistan.

Rohit Kohli need to go after the BGT by the looks of it

Santner's first FC five for, I'm confident in saying? Wowee...we are one solid batting effort away from a series win no one saw coming

Never give up hope ..India can still comeback , I think this team can bowl out NZ for 150 and chase 250 on this pitch

Nah man, I'm a good boy now.
Don't you see I'm on your side????

Last week he scored 150 batting three in the Ranji Trophy.

So yeah bat him below Ashwin because he stands on the same side of the bat as Jadeja.

Honestly speaking, India need to bowl NZ for under 100 to have a fair chance. Not that 150 would be impossible, but this innings doesn't provide me any confidence, like at all. Except for Washington, should bat significantly higher in the 4th innings.

He made a 150 batting at 3 in the ranji trophy a few days ago. Genius move to dump him down at 9. Makes no ****ing sense whatsoever.

 

[King Kane]

Santner would be an ATG test spinner if he got to bowl on Indian pitches instead of NZ pitches which are a graveyard for even the best test spinners.

200 target feels some time away.

Psychologically need 250+. One partnership kills 200.

He had one first class five wicket haul before this taking 5/51.

Not really true based on how he bowled for most of his career. He'd have held his spot as NZ's #1 spinner throughout his career if he learnt how to vary his pace like this ten years ago.

That is a big stretch.

Second. Got his first a couple of seasons ago in the PS, IIRC.
