boult seems angrier these days than i remember

 

[Bahnz]

You mean Wagner?

Can't believe Henry has been behind Bracewell for so bloody long.

Well it's not really like Henry's demanded reselection with his performances in test cricket so far. This is the first time he's done much of anything in the longer format.

 

[Shri]

****.

 

[Bahnz]

Sigh, this has the same sort of feel to it as the 2nd innings of the 2nd SA test. It's nice to see us not just lying down, but it's too little too late.

 

[straw man]

So this is the best pitch for seam bowling I've ever seen in India.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Nah, pretty sure he means Southee. IMHO Henry 's best role in the XI is to take the new ball. Wagner ideal 3rd seamer, gives variety. Southee could do a 3rd seamer role, but I think his ego is too big, will keep trying for the pitch-leg-hit-off wonder ball.

Exactly, Henry has done more in this test with the new ball than Southee has in a few years.

Wagner you'd have to think is pretty safe as the third seamer for the time being.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahane will save us.

... and 1st time he's had the new ball. Coincidence?

 

[Zinzan]

In NZ?

Opener
Latham
Williamson
Taylor
Ronchi/Anderson/Neesham
Watling
Santner
Jeets/Henry
Wagner
Southee
Boult

Henry continues this form in the next test and a half, and he's ahead of Southee going into the next Test.

146/3 the effective score with Rohit and the allrounders in next - not inconceivable to be chasing 220-250 to win.

Chances are it'll be 300 or so and they'll be stuffed but hey ho

 

[harsh.ag]

That drive is seriously droolworthy.

 

[Zinzan]

Yep, a chase of 190 on this deck without KW, and I'd have the game as 50/50. 300, would only give NZ a 10% chance.

 

[hendrix]

You mean Wagner?

Your parochialism is getting seriously boring.

 

[indiaholic]

Dumb as **** from Rahane. Ummm.. Rohit save us?

 

[harsh.ag]

Poor shot.

 

[Athlai]

Brain explosion.

 

[duffer]

This could be an epic lollapse.

 

[Flem274*]

matt from accounts wag

 

[Daemon]

ffs you muppets. thank **** for that lead.

 

[Zinzan]

Chance to nick out 'Indian Guptill' here.
