Ian Smith: "Tim Southee has more sixes than Sehwag. Did you know that?"
Jeremy Coney: "Yes. Because I was the one who told you."

[Silver Silva]

Brilliant opening partnership so far between Jaiswal and Rohit ..Hopefully one of them can get 3 figures

Ian Smith: "Tim Southee has more sixes than Sehwag. Did you know that?"
Jeremy Coney: "Yes. Because I was the one who told you."

One of my mum's friends knew Coney and when I couldn't go to a game that NZ were playing as I was playing a cricket game myself as a kid he wrote me a message on his membership card ;"Sorry you couldn't be here today, you were there in spirit, thanks for your support" signed by all his NZ team.

Coney wasn't one of our greatest players but he was one of our greatest captains.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Why tf would you do that

 

[centurymaker]

Jaiswal what a poor decision to step out when he has the capability to hit sixes standing still.

Like I don’t mind randomly stepping out to deposit one in the stands but that was horrible execution. Was so far away from it.

 

[mackembhoy]

That's a pretty damning statistic for poor Kohli, given the lack of batting grey matter that accompanies Tim Southee to the crease. Thick as mince, is our Southee's batting.

Really isn't lots of top batsman on this list due to sheer number of games played.

You gotta do like Ravindra did when he stepped out and Jaddu bowled it way outside off, he just went with horizontal bat just to get some bat to it.


On another note, never saw folks beat the bat so many times without edges as I did in NZ's first innings. Crapinfo has these numbers recorded over the past few years. Would be interesting to see if they have any insights based on that.

 

[NZTailender]

Patel going to be the first bowler to take all 10 twice, heard it here first

 

[King Kane]

Kohli is off the pair and Rohit is going into ODI mode.

 

[_Ed_]

A bit unlucky, but we'll take it.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Needed that, although that is unlucky for Rohit

 

[King Kane]

Ajaz strikes again bowling Rohit, I thought Blundell had stumped him with some great keeping but I should have known better.

 

[Darwin Award]

So many Indian batsmen got out for a duck in the 1st innings you'd surely bet at least one of them here bagging a pair in this match.

 

[King Kane]

Sarfaraz isn't mucking around either, he is in hit out or get out mode like Rohit.

 

[Daemon]

sarfraz is basically another pant

 

[King Kane]

O'Rourke was bowling too short, he looked better when he started to bowl it a bit fuller with those last few balls.

 

[_Ed_]

50 partnership at better than a run a ball.
