That depends on NZ knocking over the tail, NZ overcoming the deficit and scoring fast enough to declare (and if that happens I don't know if Latham and Stead would risk losing in attempting to win if a declaration is possible at any stage for NZ).We are due collapse in second innings. Think NZ will need two and a half sessions in last day for the result.
dropping wtc points in this series is unacceptable tbh. they've gotta find a way.That depends on NZ knocking over the tail, NZ overcoming the deficit and scoring fast enough to declare (and if that happens I don't know if Latham and Stead would risk losing in attempting to win if a declaration is possible at any stage for NZ).
TA lot of comments about NZ being undercooked.
But then Southee and Jamieson are tired from bowling in India.
Which one is it?
We were rolled for 62 in our last test. Bangladesh have a real chance here.We are due collapse in second innings. Think NZ will need two and a half sessions in last day for the result.
Bangladesh lost by an innings inside 2.5 days of play in their last test thoughWe were rolled for 62 in our last test. Bangladesh have a real chance here.
It be good for them if they can bat out 2 sessions on the final day to close out the match. It'll build some confidence.We are master of getting out within two sessions
How much do you put it down to it being a dead pitch? I think the groundsman deserves a bit of flak for the sort of pitch he's produced. No excuse for a pitch of this nature at this time of year.jurgensen has copped some flak from doull in the past for boults decline. jamieson losing his outswinger for longer than a test or two might raise more since we're used to him being the instant win button.
Yeah this is really true. England aren't exactly India's quality with the bat bar root and 3 pace bowlers plus Lyon would probably be enouh against there lineup, but having somoene like green who can come on and constantly keep the pressure up while starc/cumm haze are resting makes so much of a difference. Having 5 bowlers who weren't giving freebies compared to 4 in the 3rd test made that England attack so much harder to deal with.Ravindra will be a quality test top 6 batter (probably opener). His part-time spin bowling is a bonus. Santner was was normally picked as the 4th bowler (with de Grandhomme taking the batting all-rounder + 5th bowler role). So not "the exact same sort of player" .
If we picked Ajaz ahead of Ravindra we would have 5 bowlers. Aussie don't pick 5 bowlers. They pick 4 bowlers and a batting all-rounder.
