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

[Shri]

Neither Nohit nor Ashwin like running much, should be able to see some textbook boundaries if these two stick around.

 

[Shri]

LOL, every time the cricinfo scorecard freezes, we lose a wicket.

It freezes because we lose a wicket.

 

[Zinzan]

NZ spinners ripping through India would be funnier if NZ weren't about to get Jadeja'd by the pitch doing the work for him.

Yeah, it's difficult not to think about what Ashwin and co will do vs. our less accomplished players of spin.

 

[Burner]

Sodhi is only 23?

 

[StephenZA]

That looked good... phew.

 

[Zinzan]

Thought that was out live.

 

[cnerd123]

Jinx

Was under the impression that Latham was keeping and Ronchi was out in the field.

 

[Black_Warrior]

I know India wants to play like Australia but is Star Sports now trying to be like Channel 9? Manjrekar and Shastri calling that an excellent decision.

FFS these indian batsmen are terrible players of spin too.

Just stop it with this narrative already. Please.

this is how we feel whenever indians talk nz conditions or ground size.

eden park the 500+ run festival and the spongy green pitches

would be fun to make a tiny tiny ground with a vicious green top though

If they're not giving those out, won't be many lbws in this game.

Lets not taint the good name of Channel 9 by having a backwater production like Star sports in the same sentence.

Eh? I agree India aren't actually ****-hot against spin, but they're still better than NZ overall & Ashwin & Jadeja are better than NZ's spinners. Will assume you just wanted to labour that same point again

 

[vcs]

Can't wait for the weekend. I want to be watching every ball of this game while lazing in bed, not refreshing CW/cricinfo in office. The game should be nicely in the balance by Day 3 and 4.

Lel, 'good name of channel 9'.

 

[Zinzan]

Based on the replay, can't blame the ump there... 50/50 one that wouldn't be a bad decision either way.

 

[Shri]

Shut up Siva, Nohit hasn't been very patient, he amashed a six and a four off consecutive deliveries.

 

[cnerd123]

This is around the point in the game where Nohit does something dumb and throws his wicket away.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Ashwin to ton up
