*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[ataraxia]

Not sure this should be a three-test series. It's clearly far too one-sided.

 

[straw man]

omg

That's not the way I would have expected to get Pant out.

Not the first time Phillips has bowled someone with that low arm action and the ball barely getting 6 inches off the ground, though. Surely the batsman should know it ain't going to bounce?

 

[Spark]

This is like straight out of the Darren Lehmann coached team manual of batting on a turning pitch

 

[OverratedSanity]

Welp we might be done for

 

[honestbharani]

All that dominance at home onlly to give it up like this. FFS.

Missing full tosses and long hops and straight balls and getting clean bowled.

 

[King Kane]

Phillips strikes again.

That swipe from Pant was even worse than Kohli's, India are imploding.

 

[Bahnz]

Lol, TH can rest a little easier now.

 

[sayon basak]

Guess it's all up to the lower middle order again.

How do you think we felt after getting thrashed at home by Bangladesh?

 

[thierry henry]

Lol, TH can rest a little easier now.

Deep down what I actually want is just to see guys like Pant play a good shot once in a while so their entire existence isn’t such an entirely wretched injustice and a mockery of the rest of us and the sport we love

Sometimes I want to kick Rishabh so bad....

 

[Moss]

Unbelievable. Don’t think NZ bowled all that well to Pant but there you go. Santner’s spell has been very impactful to say the least.

Pitch doing a fair bit but equally batsmen panicking it looks like.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Guess it's all up to the lower middle order again.

You are back again???

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Phillips now has 25 wickets at under 25

 

[Prince EWS]

Jadeja-Sundar-Ashwin is still a ridiculous 7-9 in Asian conditions, definitely not convinced India won't even still end up with a lead here. NZ definitely on top but the allrounders definitely make it hard for India to ever really be out of the game even if the top order gets blown away.

 

[Silver Silva]

Damn for WWE fans new to cricket , this is like Jinder Mahal ending the streak at Wrestlemania vs Undertaker !

 

[capt_Luffy]

Okay, I still think we will win this one. Just need to put 200 on the board.

 

[Arachnodouche]

DK you don't allude to ****, you outright shove it down our throats.

 

[King Kane]

Sometimes I want to kick Rishabh so bad....

That was rubbish from Rishabh, hopefully him and the other Indian batsmen get their acts together when India tour Australia this summer.

I'm happy for them to keep playing dumb shots in this test series though.

Phillips might have benefited from how challenging Santner has been - they might feel they have to attack his end and are taking too many risks
