*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[sayon basak]

What was that? Ball going through two duckers?

 

[King Kane]

Conway sweeping well both ways, he is looking more like the confident Conway of old.

He will probably get out now that I have said that.

 

[ataraxia]

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.

I was about to post "no, you're wrong" but then that edge happened. I think that was a sign not to do so.

Anyways, apropos of nothing, I think India are firm favourites here.

 

[GotSpin]

How’s the pitch playing?

 

[Burgey]

It’s about now that the late Shane Warne would begin talking about NZ declaring

 

[SteveNZ]

I know he gets away with it but that is an AWFUL shot by Latham. It's so clear what Siraj is trying to do. This is a 90-Test guy who hasn't got to the stage of being better than that

 

[Bahnz]

Stop! Stop! I can only get so erect!

 

[King Kane]

Great placement there from Latham between the slips.

Rahul did him a favour though by avoiding the ball rather than trying to catch it.

 

[SteveNZ]

Am loving the way Conway has planned to go about scoring runs and not just surviving. Wonder how much of that is Herath's input against spin

How’s the pitch playing?

Absolute highway, 450+ kinda deck

 

[CricAddict]

Looks like the rain has finally stopped and Nz have started batting.

Some error in the scorecard. It is somehow showing 46 against India's name too.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is pretty pathetic lol

 

[Arachnodouche]

Gambhir oversees the lowest total on Indian Soil for India ..He's going to be under fire now if BGT doesn't go India's way lol

The guy was saying in the lead-up how he wants his team to be capable of scoring at 6 rpo OR a two-day blockathon if the need arises. Well, the need hath arisen for the latter. A little too soon for his tastes you'd think.

 

[King Kane]

Siraj firing up with some sledging, Conway probably telling him to look at the scoreboard.

 

[sayon basak]

Should review that for HBW.

 

[King Kane]

Not out, a desperation review from Rohit.

I thought Dravid was still India's test coach, I didn't realise that Gambhir had taken over, that explains a lot about India's batting performance today.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Should review that for HBW.

India sure got done in by HBW (Hubris Before Wicket) today. Did these ****ers dream they were technical stalwarts all of a sudden to opt to bat first in those conditions?

 

[sayon basak]

Umpire being really harsh.


This one has to be, right?

 

[King Kane]

Conway bringing up his fifty in style with a six, he's back.

 

[sayon basak]

Finally!
