What is it now?

I think it's time to smash it, blocking isn't going to help. It'll end up like Blundell's inning. If we can get slog going at least we can reduce the lead. Funny things happen.

I agree 100 percent
Just slog from here on in

Southee: ya'll wanna see some dingers

It's not about slogging.

The whole innings there's been the opportunity to apply controlled aggression, and we haven't taken it.

Yes, I did think Latham should have attacked a bit more, particularly the pace bowlers and Jadeja who didn't bowl all that well.

Young played an excellent innings and that's how the rest of the batsmen should have tried to play.

Southee and Jamieson spoiling Axar's average

Edit- Maybe not...5th 5 wicket haul in 4 tests

 

[Kirkut]

Yes baby....

 

[duffer]

Axar is unfair in home conditions

NZ kinda pissed this away it seems. Good fightback from India though

 

[trundler]

Iyer looking like a galaxybrain gigachad now eh

Yeah as always NZ's soft underbelly in the middle order got exposed away from home

 

[silentstriker]

Good fight back today. Axar is something else at home.

Hmmm... Mostly it's the blocks that's got us out. I really think we haven't changed the we've played in the past. We don't have to be reckless at the top but got to play like Young. One ball has its name on ya. Might as well look to score few.

 

[trundler]

?

KW averages 12 away since 2019, Ross is past it and Nicholls cant play spin

 

[Hurricane2]

Somerville only blocks by memory as well

 

[nzfan]

Imagine the deck tomorrow. The ball is starting to keep low, turn even when it's straight.

The heck... Went away for dinner hoping Taylor and Latham will see through the session but I see we're nowhere. Neither runs or have wickets on hand.

Kane and Taylor not much. In comparison to all our batters Rachin got to some runs quicker compared to rest of the middle order. Edges or genuine shots? Looked panic and struggled?

What about Nicholls?

Ravindra looked good, was scoring relatively freely and took a peach from Jadeja to remove him.
