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

He didn't admit defeat, Daemon.

 

[Jono]

Daemon is being a bit cheeky.

Also rohit is gonna be denied a ton by declaration is my guess

 

[Prince EWS]

Rahane seriously has no idea against Craig right now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Man, it'd be so Rohit to gets the softest runs imaginable here and save his spot.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Need to step up the RR now. What's the forecast like? Rained out draw would suck from this position.

 

[honestbharani]

3 catches put down now off Craig.. although the Nohit one barely qualifies as a drop.

 

[Zinzan]

First KW drop I can remember for a couple for years btw, glad it didn't really matter in the greater scheme of things.

according to Google, 10% chance of rain today, 20% chance tomorrow


so you're looking good

 

[OverratedSanity]

Craig has been seriously impressive today. Not given anything away at all. Shame it's come so late, but could be a good sign for the rest of the series.

I thought he bowled pretty well on Day 1 as well. Complete pies yesterday ruining what could have been a pretty good comeback game for him.

Yeah, him and Sodhi have bowled really up and down this test. They've had some really good spells, but then randomly start throwing up filth. That passage of play yesterday after tea where they conceded 35 in 3 overs of long hops pretty much ended NZ's chances of winning.

 

[Howsie]

Kohli's average back where it belongs, under 45

Damn.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Going at 2 rpo in the last 10 overs. Pretty poor considering the situation.

 

[Shri]

Kane and Smith used to bowl a lot when they started out. Annoying to see them not bowl a bit more.

 

[Shri]

Kane 6/9 coming up.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah I can't understand it unless they think it's batting practice. Clearly not worried about the weather.

 

[OverratedSanity]

They'll probably kick it up a notch after lunch.

 

[Kippax]

Too often Craig's good when the tone of the game is cruisy and he can mentally freewheel it. Sadly following the pattern of many, many other Auckland red ball players.

 

[Red]

Not really following this but Ronchi's playing as a batsman is he?
