*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[Meridio]

A bit of a microcosm of Will Young's career that innings. Look serene and classy, and then just get out in a fairly innocuous way

 

[sayon basak]

Really well bowled by Ashwin. It wasn't just natural variation. He'd been mostly bowling with a lot of top spin and the previous ball really bounced, so he bowled that one with the seam for 100% sidespin to try and get it to keep lower. Worked a treat - pinged on the back foot.

That was the undercutter ig.

 

[King Kane]

Rachin to the rescue again.

Textbook.

How much of a lead do we need, minimum?

 

[jcas0167]

I did love the goateed swing king. Serious hoop

Yeah, Doull had some great moments when he wasn't injured. That seven wicket bag against India at the Basin and man of the match when the Black Caps won their first test in South Africa stand out.

Honestly 200+ would put you 70-30 in the game. And 250 should make it about 95-5 IMO.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Honestly

Hmmm not sure about this from user honestbharani

 

[Aritro]

Oh wait, you said goateed

Tbf, I was surprised they let someone create a goatse emoji

311.

Not the first top order bat to get worked over by Ashwin so cleanly so 20-plus is fine for this particular innings, but that was a terrible review. This and Conway missing the inside edge were both giveaways.

 

[Athlai]

We've got enough. Santner will get a 17fer

 

[ashley bach]

Our lower order will suck again

 

[Daemon]

311.

Lol

In the last 10 years India has only chased >200 once, when they chased 329 at the Gabba. They also lost 8 chasing <200 totals lol.

So NZ need 330 to be safe.

 

[OverratedSanity]

India are historically bad at chasing. Realistically anything over 200 puts NZ in a dominant position. 250+ is virtually impossible for this batting lineup on this deck.

 

[BeeGee]

How much of a lead do we need, minimum?

250

Reckon 300+, a lot of India's line are "due" a score.

 

[sayon basak]

4th of the fab 4 gone!

 

[King Kane]

Yeah, Doull had some great moments when he wasn't injured. That seven wicket bag against India at the Basin and man of the match when the Black Caps won their first test in South Africa stand out.

Danny Morrison was a better bowler than Simon Doull but Doull is the better commentator.

Hadlee was a terrible commentator and our best bowler, he just let his bowling do the talking.

 

[Spark]

Poor shot. Not one you can play in these conditions
