***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

[GingerBreadMan]

McCullum's mindset is all wrong here imo. Just keep ****ing batting.

He's tired as ****, mentally and physically

 

[Mike5181]

Running on empty at the moment, I think

 

[hendrix]

Come on Baz. Push yourself through till stumps. Neesham can bat. It's not the tail yet.

 

[vicleggie]

Lol how does Mcullum average 37 in Test cricket. Must be the only guy to have 3 200's with an average that low. Bigger underachiever than Shane Watson

 

[wellAlbidarned]

He's tired as ****, mentally and physically

Exactly, and that's when it's hardest to successfully attack. He can literally stonewall one end for all i care and not score another run in this test but he can't give it away here.

 

[straw man]

Jimmy ffs

 

[wellAlbidarned]

"it was one of those catches that either stick in your hand or don't"

is there anything else that can happen with a catch??

 

[vicleggie]

NZ just need to bat out another 10 overs- India are useless when the ball gets old- and they're on target for many more

 

[Spikey]

good decision to play across the line though

 

[hendrix]

NZ just need to bat out another 10 overs- India are useless when the ball gets old- and they're on target for many more

the problem is that McCullum doesn't have much energy left and Southee is just a slogger.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

oh that's so ***y

 

[straw man]

The last two days have gone from resignation that we're going to lose, gradually to disbelief that grew and grew and persisted until Watling was out, and now the match is on a knife-edge - sick-in-the-stomach territory.

 

[dermo]

a particularly knowledgable crowd, except for jono of course

 

[wellAlbidarned]

The streaking couple earns a lot of applause

Kiwininja and Heef no doubt

 

[straw man]

jesus...

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Kiwininja and Heef no doubt

Wouldn't be the first Heef Streak.

Though possibly the best.

 

[James]

Bloody hell....

As straw man said, it really is sick-in-the-stomach territory.

 

[Contra]

McCullum looks really tired, India need to make sure he plays every ball from here on in.

 

[Spark]

Holy ****, BMac

 

[James]

Apparently in terms of minutes according to Radio Sport, this is the longest innings by any NZ batsman in NZ.
