Standard protocol

 

[King Kane]

No bat on that, Ajaz survives.

 

[honestbharani]

Watch out for the carrom ball Ajaz,

He just smoked the carrom ball for six,

It was the regulation offie.

 

[honestbharani]

Isn't... Mumbai on the coast?

Uh how high do you think Johannesburg is

I have no idea tbh. But they always talk about the ball flies in both grounds coz of the cities being higher?

Higher in altitude. Jo'burg is on top of a high plateau. Mumbai is on the coast so would have coastal air pressure, whereas the lower air pressure at higher altitude is why the ball flies at Jo'burg.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's clearly missing leg

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Unplayable to the best of them: Kohli

 

[ashley bach]

Jadeja finishes the day with a grenade

 

[thierry henry]

Wild that now we would desperately love to have Santner to win a test

 

[honestbharani]

Should be some last day for the series tomm, huh?

 

[King Kane]

Disappointing from Henry, Southee would have at least taken a wild swipe at that ball before he got bowled.

It was the regulation offie.

The carrom ball is like Shane Warne's flipper, zooter, zipper, he used to make up names for balls to spook batsmen when he just bowled leg spinners.

haha... you really have no idea how its bowled, do you?

 

[King Kane]

Not really but neither do our batsmen, can you give me some tips so I can pass them on to them.

 

[govinda indian fan]

Need jaiswal to get off to roaring start. Dont trust losers called rohit sharma and virat kohli

Why were you not passing them tips earlier in the series? We could have won.

 

[_00_deathscar]

The whole T20 bash if you cant survive approach also has one other factor going for it. Mumbai is a small ground and the ball does fly here because of the higher altitude a bit like Jo'burg.

Ah yes, Mumbai famously at the high altitude of sea level

 

[Bahnz]

NZ about 40 short of a defendable total. Barring something freakish with the bat from Jazzy and Castle, I reckon India to win by 6 wickets.

Shame as this was definitely a winnable game, but still pleasing to see NZ make India work hard for a face saving win even without Santner (**** he would've been a nightmare on this deck).

Kudos to Young. Shame there isn't really a spot in the team for him in the England series. Given how tough batting has been in 5 of the 6 innings he's played I'd say it's the probably the best performance by a kiwi in India that I've seen.

 

[danzydab]

Round of applause for Will Young, a gritty 80 and 50 in extremely tough conditions.

An average of 5 degrees turn is no joke

The turning points of the match were that Gill-Pant partnership and Mitchell+Ravindra throwing away their wickets bazball style.

India will most likely chase this down, NZ needed Santner, very hard for them to win a test in India without him barring factors like the Banglore pitch being a green top 1st day.

 

[Shri]

why even pick siraj ffs

could have just played axar for more batting
