Well played Latham.

Would like for us to put India under a bit of pressure here. Maybe pushing for the win is a bit unrealistic, but at least getting them sweating a bit would give us a bit of an edge going into the second test.

Intent brigade silent af. I thought Will Young come down the ground smash was the only way to get runs.

 

[Athlai]

The closer we can get to 150-160 by tea the better.

What is even the point of Ishant bowling

 

[hendrix]

Ishant now bowling wide of off stump. Negative tactics.

Probably a good sign for NZ.

 

[Athlai]

What is even the point of Ishant bowling

They're trying to get Williamson out early

 

[Zinzan]

What is even the point of Ishant bowling

Because he's a real a chance of getting KW either LBW or strangled down leg.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is pretty terrible. Ishant has been utterly useless.

 

[Athlai]

We bring in Santner for Southee next game. 4 spinners

 

[Immenso]

There isn't truly a River End at this stadium.
It's a lie, it has a river side maybe. Heard it here first, sheeple.

Latham's negativity is destroying this test

 

[nzfan]

Lots of lol at the commentators and pundits yeah... So Kane knew all along the pitch just wasn't conducive to take loads of wickets and rightly stemmed the runs by setting the field he did. In hindsight Somerville and Ravindra's economical overs were gold.

5th day pitch, gun spinners from India and they worked a full session to take our no.10. That too a bouncer from a fast bowler took the wicket.

Shows the ones on the ground playing have way better knowledge of the conditions than the commentators sitting in the AC chilling.

The expectation was black caps will shiver at the sight of Indian spinners, panic and lose. Glad to see the no 1 is playing like the no 1 side unlike in the past.

Also getting a bit too boring to keep hearing to Doully going on about who was supposed to be there in his opinion. Feel like telling him just back those that are there for once mate.

Does smog count as a river

 

[Athlai]

They've fallen into our trap by taking Ishant off

 

[Gnske]

The Ganges is a bit like a punch bowl. Except remove the fruit slices for corpses

OK

 

[_Ed_]

Bah.

 

[Athlai]

Latham screwed Latham

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ashwin looks toothless too ffs

Edit: Oh

 

[Gnske]

Latham caused his own wicket there. Sabotaged himself with his negativity.
