*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

That catch may indeed not have carried, but still I can't believe the camera technology is so ****ing **** in 2024. So few frames and angles and so blurry. Has it even improved at all in the last 15-20 years since we went to widescreen?

 

[King Kane]

Not great footage of that potential Phillips catch, it looked like it was shot from the top of the grandstand with a handycam.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Santner should bowl the 2nd or 3rd over.

 

[Spark]

Yeah yeah good shot and all but Jaiswal simply does not even try to keep the ball down in that area. Going to get caught there so often if he doesn't address it

 

[Skyliner]

Living dangerously.

 

[subshakerz]

This is a massive score to chase in 4th innings regardless. 20/80 in favor of NZ IMHO

Yup about right

 

[Spark]

Why isn't Santner on straight away?

 

[Arachnodouche]

This has to be explicit license from the dressing room. Mindboggling if he's doing it on his own initiative.

Well, Rohit too, so they're not dying wondering.

 

[James]

I would be surprised to see India get within 100 here tbh. This deck is doing all sorts

I hope you're right, but I compare this Indian team at home to the All Blacks juggernaut of a few years ago. They're not going to go down without a massive fight here.

 

[Silver Silva]

Well India have come out swinging , right approach in my opinion with a long batting line up

 

[straw man]

O'Rourke needs to bowl a few fuller balls, not everything chest high.

Though we'll probably have spin on in a moment anyway.

 

[Spark]

This is quite thick by Latham, keeping both pace bowlers on. Very by the numbers, not paying attention to the moment

 

[King Kane]

India scoring at 8 runs per over off the first two overs, I don't think it will be long before the spinners get brought on if they keep scoring this quickly.

 

[Skyliner]

Why isn't Santner on straight away?

“Tim Southee leads our attack magnificently” is the standard cliche.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

whats the point of bowling pace from both end

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

whats the point of bowling pace from both end

Must be a non-cricketing reason we are not aware of

Spirit of cricket?

Stead : 'Tim Southee has a well established record as a new ball bowler, a fantastic human being to boot it wasn't a particularly hard decision at the time'.

 

[King Kane]

O'Rourke yanked already for Santner, not surprising, Ajaz will probably be on at the other end for Southee.

 

[Moss]

Think it was worth bowling pace for a couple of overs, that said o’Rourke especially bowled a poor iver.
