*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[BeeGee]

I like to read this post as claiming that there is some disembodied spiritual force telling Southee what to do as captain

Southee isn't captain.

 

[Spark]

Southee isn't captain.

Huh I don't know why I missed that

That was Southee's 2nd longest Test innings @73 balls. Previously, his longest innings was 56 off 82 balls vs. Pakistan at Hamilton in 2011 and 2nd longest was 38 off 68 vs. India at Nagpur in 2010.

Who was it who said Southee would benefit from a rocket up the arse before the start of this test? Might start calling you Nostradamus.

I'm not the only one to but I've certainly said it a few times.

Matt Henry's thoughts at the end of that over: "Urrrggghhhh, winning this game is still going to be hard as ****, isn't it?"

Nz just need to bowl India out within 500 to remain big favourites. Pitch will start playing tricks soon too. If they can't win this they should bring hadlees corpse out to bowl next game.

I assumed you were going for that "sending a weird abstract joke to the group chat which no one else gets" energy

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah but the still means spending a day plus in the field, with potentially tricky little chase at the end of it. Why can't they just get bowled out for 46 again?

Also...Richard Hadlee isn't dead..

 

[OverratedSanity]

Richard Hadlee isn't dead..

His career is ffs

 

[King Kane]

Our bowlers have bowled OK but this pitch isn't helping them as much as the first innings and India aren't helping them by not batting like idiots again.

1st inning:- 5-15(13.2)

O'Rourke just looks such an awkward customer to deal with.

 

[_Ed_]

Interested to see how Ajaz goes here.

 

[King Kane]

O'Rourke just looks such an awkward customer to deal with.

He gets that awkward steep bounce like Jamieson with his height, I would like to see more attitude from him though, mouth off more, he is too nice.

 

[Moss]

Looked a good first over from Ajaz till he ended with the loosener. Rohit seems in good touch, putting away anything off line.

 

[sayon basak]

Touching 46 with a four!

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

That Philips is just dynamite on the ground. Very handy player to have in the team. And bonus points for keeping Braceclown out of the team.

 

[King Kane]

We need a wicket, the Indian commentators and supporters are getting up and about again.

 

[Shri]

can we lose faster pls

 

[King Kane]

Ajaz isn't looking that threatening.

Golden arm Phillips getting a bowl.

Hopefully he can provide a wicket.
