*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

Whatever it takes!!!
Sundar's going to end his career somewhere in the middle order. Has to play every Test in Aus even if just as pure batsman. Really looks the goods; never a time when he hasn't tbh.
He gives it away sometimes but he is also someone who seems to play better, the higher the standard he is playing at. I won't be completely opposed to doing something crazy like having him replace Rohit and put Gill upto open and Washy can bat 3 at Perth. Add in NKR who will probably play ahead of Ash just because it is Perth and we will have a decent bowling line up, even if our batting will continue to wobble there.

We are losing 5-0 anyways down under, might as well discover new players who can be regulars for us, doing so.

It's probably too much to ask but if Ajaz and O'Rourke can add another 30 odd runs we might have a big enough lead, a lead under 150 isn't enough.

Ajaz had a swing but hit it straight to the fielder, a lead of 146 should be pretty easy for India to chase down unless they lose early wickets.

I think this is a challenging score tbh, but we need to bowl very well and take every chance. It's small enough that two guys getting in is basically enough to win the game, and a streaky 30 goes a long way. But a few early wickets with the pitch playing tricks and the wobble can set in

Is there a reason why Dinesh Karthik insists on saying Murali Kartik's name in reverse? South Indian naming convention or just being different and annoying?

Probably a little bit under par, but still it should be an interesting chase. It's the sort of target where an aggressive start will have a huge impact, in any case.

The sad thing about all this is the game will be over by lunchtime and that's it for the series when it's been so nice to get home after work to test cricket

Plenty of variable bounce in that first over by Henry - I hope we don't have tunnel vision on spin, O'Rourke could be very dangerous banging it in back of a length if there's a chance of them staying low
