    And “Too much glove will kill you”

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Phillips getting out after a start was pretty crucial, getting through to tea giving Mitchell a breather would have been a much better position for NZ given how he can push the scoring rate. Guess Mitchell may have no choice but to aim for the boundary from now on.

    Not sure about that, there’s plenty in it for the spinners but Sodhi from Santner is a downgrade. Much depends on Ajaz finding his length.

    Valuable knock from Daz even if it’s been far from fluent. If NZ had some batting to come Mitchell would probably retire hurt. Tricky situation for him, best to hang on till tea somehow and reassess the approach.

    Very tall order given Mitchell’s exhausted and the tail is a long one. Phillips’ game isn’t best suited to combat this attack but if he can get in will make a big difference.

    Good effort from Young. Looks tough batting put there, plus Jadeja finding his mojo so not going to complain about him failing to go big. That dismissal was quite reminiscent of Santner in Pune. This could unravel quickly, hope Blundell can continue his batting improvements.

    Seems like peak heat and humidity in Mumbai. After cold and rainy BLR and (I imagine) relatively temperate Pune this must feel quite oppressive. Santner out with a side strain, was always a risk of not being fully fit after bowling so much on the trot in Pune. Was justified I suppose given it...

    Get the leg slip in for Young. Always a chance with the turn and bounce his tendency to flick those in the air.

    Mitchell living quite dangerously, but stitching together an important partnership. Needs to make it count.

    No substitute for bowling heaps of overs I think. It’s a hard sell but need to get the spinners a few county gigs the same way quite a few of the batters and pace bowlers do these days.

    Jadeja’s been somewhere back to his usual self since the last day at Pune. Making it very tough for Mitchell in particular. NZ are certainly going to miss Santner on this pitch.

    No need for the reverse sweep Will, leave those to Mitchell and Blundell.

    Yeah he’s played a key role in winning tests against all of the other Asian teams in their backyard. Unfair to label him as “the 10-for but nothing else guy”, though he’s definitely tailed off a bit in the last 2 seasons.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    A bit of a mystery to me is how after having Herath on the coaching staff Santner has had the game of a lifetime, but Patel has looked pretty much incapable of taking a wicket. Ajaz is quite the enigma. Hope he finds some success at the scene of his ten-for, I still believe there is a real...

    Think Ronchi can instead take up a full time gig working on Blundell’s keeping.

    FFS Blundell. Contribution with the bat was crucial but another untidy day behind the stumps with those reviews and now this.

    Time for Latham to mix things up if they don’t get a wicket in the next couple of overs. These two are looking pretty comfortable and the ball isn’t doing much.

    Those tours tend to be few and far between (only 3 since 2005 if you can believe it) and each time AUS have caught NZ at a low ebb and not given them a look in. In 2016 for example Boult and Southee were coming off a ridiculously mismanaged workload from more than year prior, Taylor was injured...
