Latham so gun with his bowling changes.

 

[nzfan]

Ajaz already on, it's the 8th over. Doubt Darryl Mitchell is going to get much bowling.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha that is atrocious batting, what's he trying

 

[Athlai]

Bruh, wtf was that shot

Think Ravindra's bowling might be pretty useful here, more so on this pitch than Kanpur.

 

[Immenso]

Ugh, no Wagner? What fool picked a team thinking we'd win a toss.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Southee's so damn good. Ball has done ****all after the first over but he's still looked threatening. Great to watch him mix up the angle of his deliveries.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah it’s these little things why Southee is entering into the “great” argument. Regardless of conditions you just feel like he’s going to get a wicket eventually. Which would be fantastic if he was supporting someone on fire already, but we picked 3 spinners cos we hate life

 

[Arachnodouche]

Neither of these two are a Test match opener's asshole.

 

[straw man]

Annoyingly good start for India even if they've looked uncertain and been beaten a few times.

Jamieson needs to turn around and bowl a better second spell.

 

[Immenso]

Any chance of more rain?

 

[Athlai]

Does this bloke know it’s day 1 of a test match?

 

[Moss]

Quite uncanny how India manage to find any gap through the slip cordon.

 

[Athlai]

Ah **** now I can’t stop noticing the crap graphics again

 

[straw man]

Does this bloke know it’s day 1 of a test match?

It's working vs Jamieson, he's dropped his length back to Gill which I think plays right into Gill's hands.

More of a surprise is why wasn't Darryl used as first change? If there's something he can do is swing the ball when it's new.

Heard Ravindra is not 100% either. Probably a viral or something.

 

[nzfan]

Other than couple of full tosses, jazz has bowled beautifully here.

 

[hendrix]

Despite what the commentators are saying, Latham has got this spot on. Jamieson has bowled a bit poorly and it's the right move to bring in Ajaz early.

Wouldn't mind seeing a bit of Ravindra at some stage too.

I see we've managed to pick the second worst 11 possible

Mitchell really isnt at 3 is he?

Rachin to open, Young to 3 and Mitchell to 6 would make this 11 seem much less makeshift.
