*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[Silver Silva]

This is incredible from India what a counter punch !

 

[Flem274*]

If this was Pakistan the anti corruption unit would be throwing away the key.

A loss surely, surely buries Stead and the leadership group. Surely.

 

[Meridio]

A maiden! Blimey. String a few more together please - dry up the runs for 5 overs and see what happens

 

[King Kane]

Golden arm Phillips back on, hopefully he can work his magic again to make a breakthrough.

 

[SteveNZ]

Wildly impressive by these two batsman but this is as singular an example of throwing a game as I've seen in a hot minute

It started with the poor strategy in feeding Sarfaraz through third man, right?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jeez if only we'd got Southee early this game would be in the balance right now

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

How the hell he made 301* in 2000?

 

[Spark]

It started with the poor strategy in feeding Sarfaraz through third man, right?

Yeah they spend like half an hour absolutely convinced that short wide long hops were the way to go

 

[thundaboult]

I can't believe this fkn team.

 

[King Kane]

Jeez if only we'd got Southee early this game would be in the balance right now

I think it's in the balance now anyway, we are quickly losing our advantage.

Our lead now is under 60, if these two are still there at lunch India will have a lead with 7 wickets still left and they will be right back in the game.

 

[Days of Grace]

I think both teams have written the narrative as to how this will play out already in their heads.

 

[Nintendo]

There's plenty in this pitch for the bowlers. Against India's attack, anything over 200 is gonns be dicey.

 

[SteveNZ]

Please....

 

[King Kane]

Pant starting to cut loose now.

There seems like there are a lot more Indian supporters at the ground now and they are making a lot more noise.

 

[SteveNZ]

Nope, well done Pistol Paul

 

[King Kane]

Pant got bat on that, a big cheer from all the Indian bandwagoners that have turned up.

 

[Qlder]

This is shaping up to be a great Test. I'd prefer Kiwi's to win but I'm really enjoying watching Sarfaraz and Pant bat

 

[SteveNZ]

Not loving the omens of what is going on right now

 

[King Kane]

That's hit his bat again, nothing going our way so far today.

 

[Flem274*]

NZ media not gonna ask too many questions about this either based on recent experience
