***Official*** New Zealand in India 2012

Batsmen playing so much better this innings.

Yep.

Pitch seems to be doing less? Or are they make it look easier.

The pitch is the same. It's the batsmen that have finally decided to play a proper, patient Test match innings.
NZ's batsmen are so frustrating.

Hope Pujara's OK. That was nasty.

 

[straw man]

Think it's mostly our batsmen playing better though suspect the bounce might be just a touch slower and lower today as well

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Alright guys, I've started watching again. Time to collapse

 

[Shri]

Pujara apparently got hit in the same knee that he had to get operated last year. ****.

 

[straw man]

Ug McCullum please put away that cover drive unless it's a real half volley

 

[straw man]

Excellent session for McCullum and Williamson.

Now to do the same next session

Terrific session of batting. Great stuff.

Is this Hesson's doing? Hard to imagine such a tiny man giving such an influential speech.

Lol, no of course short people can't be leaders . I think this obsession with leaders being big and tall is is mostly an NZ thing tbh (or maybe an Anglo thing)

Great job, Kane dangerously close to his average though.

Hitler wasn't very tall and seemed to get a positive crowd reaction to his speeches.

Although we already went down the Hitler coach path with Glenn Turner and his partner Lee Germon (Eva Braun). Didn't work.

Haha, fair points. Both were known for their charisma, though - something the diminutive, bespectacled Hesson hasn't shown in abundance in TV appearances thus far.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

****.

 

[_Ed_]

Hit it.

 

[BackFootPunch]

That's unfortunate.

 

[Howsie]

**** me this has gone past a joke.

 

[straw man]

Only has to be within the same postcode as an actual cricket dismissal for these umpires to fire one of our batsmen.

 

[Daemon]

If Pujara is injured again I might cry

 

[ankitj]

Poor decision. This sucks beyond words.

Commentators said just a moment or two ago that it's just a bruise.
