India bowling their quota for the session, saving Test cricket one over at a time.

Whatever it takes!!!
The turn is always there in Pune but apparently this is a black soil pitch and not red soil and they just get slower and lower as the game goes on. This one may last the full 5 days and still be a draw. Although the players dont seem to have the mentality to play for a draw anymore.

We need to get to lunch only 2 down, another wicket for India and they will have won this session.
The captains tend to listen to the older players more than the newbies when it comes to reviews, Sarfaraz might have got some more respect now.
Moss
International Captain
Yeah the batsmen could look at this as getting through a tough a period rather than being in a hurry to put up runs on the board. But again, this NZ lineup does better against spin when it looks to score.

Why wasn't there a stronger appeal there?? That looked like taking out top of middle.

Novel tactics from India to get Rachin lbw and just not appeal
BeeGee
International Captain
Sundar didn't appeal at all. Bit odd. I thought it was out live.
KungFu_Kallis
State Captain
Yeah exactly. Umpires are definitely influenced by the appeal, and if it went their way and was reviewed it would have stuck. India don't seem like the old India who were the world champion appealers and even got fined for it a few times.
King Kane
International Regular
Surprised there was no review there, it was umpire's call so it wouldn't have been a wicket but they wouldn't have lost a review either.
Pretty even first session, credit to Conway for scrapping out another fighting knock, he's starting to get back to his unfashionable best.

Dont even have morons like denness match refereeing anymore, so definitely odd they're this wimpy with appeals.

Geoff Howarth is a better comparison to Mike Brearley, I only saw the tail end of Howarth's career but he batted like a tailender, great captain though.
Moss

The most idiotic was Ranjan Madugalle who among other things fined Prasad for a mild send off against Slater at MCG 1999.
Could be some sort of self-imposed restraint, Kohli when captain was never one to back down.

Heh, the fact that this was right after the Ponting Srinath incident made it even sillier.

And Bucknor and Bowden umpiring.

Why does Bumrah suck balls vs NZ
Conway definitely found something in the second innings of the 2nd Test v Sri Lanka. Almost an epiphany of 'even though my game is technically a bit of a mess, if I bat tough at the start and get to 20, I can succeed'.
Still think Bumrah missed a massive trick to him in the first 3 overs with the angles he created/didn't create. Still seeing that with the almost lbw shout there

As a loose, off the cuff opinion, I feel like we've dealt pretty well with the opposition's main strike force over the years...like we form a game plan around denying the guy who's most likely to run through us. I'm sure that's 100% wrong statisically, though.
