Well done Tim

 

[_Ed_]

Ooh, beaten. Nice from Bracewell.

EDIT: Fairly good response from Dhoni...

 

[Contra]

Nice from Dhoni, always want him to attack rather than defend.

Second one was murdered =O

 

[Hurricane]

This is stink cricket - Dhoni gets beaten twice in the over all ends up and also smokes two fours.

 

[Howsie]

50 test wickets for the great man

 

[Hurricane]

5-fer (Heef to comment)

 

[BackFootPunch]

Southee! Great bowling. Please let this be something more than a false dawn.

Average watch - 40.38.

 

[Contra]

This looks like a second innings shoot out now, India almost mirror matching NZ's first innings. Although we're in danger scoring even less than NZ now =/

Well bowled Southee

 

[Hurricane]

**** shot by Zaheer

 

[Contra]

lmfao Zaheer I love you

 

[Pup Clarke]

Haha, don't see pad onto bat too often - thought Dhoni had smashed that at first.

 

[Contra]

Zaheer should try to smash as many as he can, his defence is garbage, better off smashing a few, it's all about the runs at this stage.

 

[straw man]

Dhoni: 60-70.

Great work Southee - we're back in the game! All set up for an Ashwarbhajan century

 

[silentstriker]

Yea, I don't think India are going to get any lead - just smash it as try to get as close to it as possible. Conceding a lead of 20-30 runs won't be too bad, though batting last is going to be very, very difficult. It's still only day three, so NZ have a great opportunity to bat for a while. If they can bat until at least lunch or later tomorrow, which is possible since the surface is still good, the pitch is going to come into play later tomorrow and definitely on the fifth day and India will be in big, big trouble.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Have to say that Bracewell has one of the most natural bowling actions I've seen in a while. Just looks effortless.

 

[Hurricane]

Good catch KVW - can't win on those - you are a muppet if you drop them and good if you take them.

Right at chest height =awkward.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Could be a handy little lead here if we can get the last couple quickish.

Odds on a Southee 8-for?

 

[Contra]

ok, time for Ashwin to take charge.

 

[Hurricane]

no chicken counting.

 

[Mike5181]

45/6 is a good ****ing effort from Southee. His bowling average is under 40 now.
