*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

Whatever it takes!!!
These batsmen just have no idea what to do with the ball turning away from them. Jaddu is generally far more organized but is prone to simple mistakes like lunging forward or trying to defend a ball going well outside off etc.

Sarfraz was supposed to be good at this part of the game and has sucked balls after that 150. Rahul is shot. Virat and Rohit are just unable to concentrate well, it looks like, maybe with the age and failing eye. We just dont have the batsmen needed coz we hardly play A tours any more and those 5 years have made the difference, as we would have far more information, and those batters far more practice, of playing in a variety of conditions. For some reason, even after covid, we never had any A tours in the past 3 years and its telling now.

If Pant is going to play like this - which he obviously is - there is absolutely no reason for us to do anything differently. Toss it up there, let it spin and bounce and there's a very decent chance he sends it straight up

He has till about the 2nd/3rd Test in Aus IMO. They have to pull him out after that if the trend continues.
I wouldn't wait that long get him out of there after this test and give Sai Sudharshan a chance imo , BCCI are treating Kohli like he's on Sachin's level of Indian batsmanship when he's nowhere near the same league. He's on the same level as a Sehwag and he didn't get anywhere near this level of rope in test cricket

5 wickets so far and 3 unforced errors. End of the day, this and the poor catching in the first two games, have decided this series. Its one thing to commit to an attacking shot and another to just close your eyes and play certain shots.
