*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[King Kane]

New Zealanders would never laugh at Australians misery.

We don't get many chances to laugh at their cricket team when we play them, we get more chances to laugh at their rugby team when we play them.

Is rugby even a think?

 

[OverratedSanity]

This has a very Ahmedabad 2008 vs SA feel

 

[Starfighter]

*opens Cricinfo* umm... WHAT?

 

[sayon basak]

Should take the review, even if it goes down the leg side.

 

[King Kane]

A good start, we have almost knocked off half of India's total without losing a wicket.

Is rugby even a think?

It is in NZ and it used to be in Australia when the Wallabies won World Cups but now most Australians say that they don't give a **** about rugby now.

 

[Thala_0710]

Bumrah gonna get a wicket now.

Brother pls. I wished you a happy birthday. Don't jinx us further

 

[honestbharani]

He is just having fun. Let him have it, Bangbros deserve some happiness at least at our expense.


But this is seriously bad. I never lost faith even during Adelaide as it was obvious it was a bit of a lightning in a bottle moment. This is just a disaster that could have been averted had we been less arrogant and more careful. Deserves every bit of stick this team and management gets, for this one.

Also, Henry and O'Rourke should play every test for NZ even going forward in this series.

Wonder if RCB guys wanted to screw over Rohit/Gambhir like they screwed over Ganguly at Nagpur.

 

[King Kane]

Conway looks like he is starting to find some form and right on cue he gets another blow to the hand.

 

[sayon basak]

Brother pls. I wished you a happy birthday. Don't jinx us further

Okay I'm gonna stop now.

 

[andruid]

The subsequent wickets in this series will Anfaugliths, relative to the Ardgalen that Bengaluru is proving to be?

 

[SteveNZ]

Conway has looked good on or outside off stump but continues to be absolutely at sea with length at the stumps or at his body. India didn't bowl smart at him or with the right field

 

[Burgey]

Good B-G tune up for the Indian top order here

.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

First innings lead slipping away from India now

 

[honestbharani]

Just gotta look to keep Nz under 200 and hope to make 350 or 400 next dig. Trying for magic balls is not going to help. Have to almost adopt a mindset that we are bowling first here.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What the hell.

Ridiculous scorecard.

 

[King Kane]

I didn't think it would take long for Ian Smith to start gloating with his comment about India eating duck curry tonight after their 5 ducks today.

Come on Smithy, you should know by now not to go the early crow with the Black Caps, we could still stuff this up from here, pull your head in.

 

[Bahnz]

I mean, in all honesty I still think India are a decent chance to win. I reckon most of us kiwi fans were probably banking on an innings defeat going into this game.

 

[Burgey]

Be careful NZ. This is how these ***** get you complacent

Had a delightful Indian meal here in the Bay of Islands tonight. Guy running the show was a decent chap so didn't bother asking him the score at lunch.
