Ffs Blundell got to get something on that. Poor ball, but that's the second time

lol how can he? Ball's turning, staying low, batsman's sweeping/obscuring his view. Maybe forget the gloves and strike a leg out like a hockey goalie instead.

I never rubbed it in when Pak lost.

traitorous behaviour tbh

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Can't believe the mods are getting in on deliberately Gambhiring a match their team isn't in (the worst crime).

 

[Arachnodouche]

Come on, Ian Smith, NZ are under about as little pressure as a side can be defending 147. Huge series win already and still fighting and then some. They can go total balls to the wall here and come out the happier side by far.

Sodhi got Pant last time, got to give him an over or 2 at least, can't just bowl these 2 no matter what

 

[trundler]

NZ aren't really bowling that well tbh. If Pant gets in he could take it away. Needs just one partnership. India have batted really terribly throughout this test to end up here.

Bowling to Pant is such a difficult task even on this minefield.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Did Smith just called him ‘Rashid Pant’?

 

[honestbharani]

They should be absolutely proud of this result as I dont think their side is as good as it was back in the 2018-21 period either. This is an amazing result and may well be a last hurrah for guys like Southee and maybe even Blundell.

You bowl your best ball, this pitch is helping you. Let them take the risk. Easy cricket

Even if NZ lose it's still a moral victory with Santner and Williamson missing and yet still competing well ..What a tour it's been for NZ

I would look at giving Soghi a bowl at Phillips end who isn't bowling that well and is conceding some easy runs.

Sodhi could concede some easy runs too but he's more of a chance of bowling some genuine wicket taking balls,

If you aren't bowling one of your frontline spinners in this situation then they probably shouldn't be picked in the team.

IND 55/5

OMG Pant was out and they didn't review

 

[nightprowler10]

Wow, what a non-review

 

[SteveNZ]

**** that always looked a close shout. Why not with 90 odd to win???

You want them to go down the route of England? What did the kiwis ever do to you? lol
