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

What's the forecast like? This was turning out to be such an exciting test match. I expect NZ to have partnerships but then lose a bunch on wickets in a session.

I wondered if India's frustration at their weak performance so far would spark any whinging. It has.

For some inexplicable reason, NZ only seem to use this cunning tactic when playing in very hot and humid conditions. Sneaky bastards.

I did notice they weren't having any of those 2 minute Jadeja overs, which they've confirmed. Pretty smart actually.

Not ideal for the afternoon again. Also, a chance of rogue apostrophes.

If we get upwards of 70 overs in today, it will be a big day. Could possibly be the day that sets up the series. So excited now.. Finally gonna catch it live on TV.

I read the Indians weren't happy with the number of little mini hydration/physio/change of gloves breaks NZ were having yesterday..claimed it impacted their bowling momentum.

I wonder if overenthusiastic appealing impacts bowling momentum too.

 

[cnerd123]

Seeing the highlights, its disappointing how many fulltosses/long hops were bowled.

Can't keep giving the batsmen releases like that.

I wonder if overenthusiastic appealing impacts bowling momentum too.

It's also the LH-RH partnership, and the fact that a lot of singles were taken.

Yikes, this is really starting to go. Huge test of KW's mettle here.

I don't mind. We should do the same when its the last session of the test with NZ close to a win.

Nothing but a pathetic whine.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sounds like a fascinating battle from the Cricbuzz commentary.

I have no idea why I work Saturdays. FML.

 

[Bahnz]

Very good bowling there

 

[OverratedSanity]

Let's do this.

Jadeja and Ashwin have been perfect so far.

 

[cnerd123]

Ashwin deserved that wicket. Has been bowling beautifully today.

Breakthrough. But Latham was due to get out about now anyway, wasn't he?
