***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

Is KW's captaincy secure or will we start looking elsewhere if we perform poorly at home?

Because we have such great options there.

 

[SteveNZ]

I get the feeling we're in for a rocky summer.

I'm just asking...

We just seem to be going nowhere with Kane and he doesn't come off like a great leader or tactician either..

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I didn't know this was on, ftr, so I missed the first 4 wickets? Has it actually been good bowling?

Some great bowling and it also looks like we're a bit caught in two minds of how to approach this pitch. It's looked a very un-indian surface so far.

Pakistan will probably sweep us.

We should be able to beat Bangladesh but they might hang on for a draw or even pick up an upset win. Our bowlers are garbage when the ball isn't doing anything.

 

[OverratedSanity]

its just not fair when when India keep producing pitches tailor made for their battery of pace bowlers

Must've eaten some mutton biryani before the game too.

Pakistan are the No.1 Test nation now, aren't they? They might not fancy our spring weather in Chch especially, however.

Then it's only Australia and South Africa...

I know it's early days but I just have a feeling it's going to be a tough summer. Really only Boult and Williamson that appear to have any level of consistency or ability to find optimism about their games.

I admit this stems from a belief that all of New Zealand is how it's portrayed in middle-earth, but this does seem like the sort of location that NZers would seem most comfortable in.

Latham has conversion issues, but he's still really good. plus, Wagner, if you pick him.

 

[Flem274*]

just pick guppy for bangers and he'll cash in. problem solved.

 

[Howe_zat]

I don't mind Pandya playing, but Pandya opening the bowling is definitely a bit ehk. I'd have actually preferred Binny if this was going to be role he was employed in.

Binny would have taken 4 wickets yep

Classic Dhoni going for the kill with the part timer

Yes. Excellent indeed. From both Umesh and Pandya.

 

[sunilreddy]

That's Plumb

 

[straw man]

Good start by us. All part of the game plan for today.

 

[sunilreddy]

Classic Dhoni going for the kill with the part timer

Almost got a wicket...

 

[Flem274*]

this lot desperate to relive the glory days of 2012

 

[CM Punk]

What was that?

Even the commentators couldn't believe it...

Nonsense even by your usual overreacting emo standards. He's been in the job 5 minutes. How long did it take for Fleming to become secure in his captaincy? Three or four years at least.

 

[Daemon]

he's bowling cute little nothings ffs, wtf are you doing nz
