*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[King Kane]

That's a shocking leave from Gill, India are getting the wobbles again.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

If only NZ had another 50 runs

 

[ataraxia]

Hopefully we can get another 6 quick wickets and be into the tail.

 

[Arachnodouche]

India's Test captain. Pretty bulletproof philosophy, you gotta say. Criticize it all you want, there's always a glib, self-serving answer at hand.

 

[centurymaker]

I'm sorry but that was disgusting. Rohit Sharma is one of the most talented players of his generation and is absolutely capable, as shown in quite a few innings, of scoring in tough conditions by batting normally. And he's decided to reduce himself to a tailend slogger. That is just reprehensible batting.

He has lost his eye, mate. He's reacting late to everything. Truly finished as a batter. He is going to be a proper tailender in Australia.

 

[King Kane]

Surely Kohli won't be taking any risky singles again.

 

[honestbharani]

2 unforced errors and 2 wickets. The story of this series has been how little we have made them earn their wickets in the top order. Just so much panic after that first session of the series.

 

[ataraxia]

Dotting Kohli up for ages would be hilarious.

 

[Spark]

Hard disagree. Bashing it has appeared to be effective on this wicket and moreover there is nothing more demotivating to a team defending a target than a quick 30.

I'm all for attacking. But that was just straight slogging.

 

[Spark]

No, he's not. He's an amazing white ball batter but a pretty average test opener

He's played some excellent innings in some very testing conditions before.

 

[honestbharani]

Of course, we ensure the right hander is on strike against the left arm spinner. Brainless.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This commentary is cringe. A big departure from today's ODI between England and WI.

 

[ashley bach]

He's played some excellent innings in some very testing conditions before.

Before is a long time ago tbf

 

[Fuller Pilch]

We defended 176 against Pakistan in the UAE a few years ago. To have a chance Pant needs to be dismissed very quickly

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Wow. Kohli

 

[ashley bach]

YESSSSS

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Got him!

 

[Spark]

oh boy

 

[centurymaker]

He's played some excellent innings in some very testing conditions before.

Only for 2-3 years he was good. Outside of that he has been mediocre.

Now he has lost his eye. Literally late on every 2nd or 3rd delivery.

Another walking wicket Kohli goes...

 

[straw man]

Beautiful

I've commented a few times that Ajaz hasn't been at his best, but these were two lovely left-arm-orthodox wickets.
