You're right, it's lucky we had Napkins there to prevent India cleaning upThe batting order collapsed around him tbf.

It was a poor innings but the pressure was hardly "totally off of him", a lot of pressure on his place in the team and he lost the established batting partner.Utter bullcrap.
Shakib>Anyone playing in both sides tbh.A little gem someone sent to the cricinfo scorers............
'Vishal Choudhary: "Can India hire Bangladeshi bowlers for third Test plzzzzzzzzzzzzz?"
Well, quite. He was certainly under pressure, but even taking that into consideration, he looked all at sea against an attack who had been in the field for a long time and had looked pretty damn toothless all morning.It was a poor innings but the pressure was hardly "totally off of him", a lot of pressure on his place in the team and he lost the established batting partner.
Sreesanth did seem a bit fired up though, the rest looked woeful. Hopkins looked pretty dire but I maintain he isn't terrible just very mediocre.Well, quite.

Or Hedley HowarthMade me chuckle to see that NcCullum didn't get in there. Good call IMO.
You missed Grant Bradburn and Voltman.Spinners in NZ better than Guptill based on my non-existent standardised averages:
I am VERY disappointed to see him bowling right now based on my research.
Sadly I think you're right. Reckon when we get onto some proper pitches we'll come crashing down to Earth, then again we are playing Pakistan....Looks like these pitches more nothing more than average-boosters for the batsmen.
Correct, one of the reasons many Indian batsmen average 45-50+ with the bat, yet hardly any of their bowlers (ever) average under 30Looks like these pitches more nothing more than average-boosters for the batsmen.
