*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[nightprowler10]

Poor strike rotation.

 

[_Ed_]

Hmm, not sure about Phillips taking a single first ball.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I think you psychologically want a 400 target here, but the pitch sounds like it's doing everything so India might just try and bash their way to glory.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

As an aside I love how sky sports is still charging a fortune and then forces their customers to watch frequent ads. And to make it even better the ads often overrun into the next ball or over and completely misses some of the important moments. Some things never change. Luckily there are free streaming sites so at least we dont have to pay for this garbage.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Pant's keeping, never a strong suit, has fallen away again post-comeback. And he isn't pulling his weight in DRS referrals either.

 

[King Kane]

That might have been worth a review if that was off the pad with no bat on it.

Ajaz might have dodged a bullet there.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

should have taken the review with two remaining only

 

[SteveNZ]

I'm sorry, that's mud Ajaz

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

phillips is exposing the tail a little too much

 

[NZTailender]

Ffs just bat for the guy at the other end

 

[nightprowler10]

Phillips needs to farm the strike.

 

[SteveNZ]

The culture in our lower order over the past 10 years has been absolutely rank. I know Ajaz was struggling but that is a piss poor shot with a batsman at the other end

 

[Arachnodouche]

should have taken the review with two remaining only

He's getting literally nothing either way from Pant who's just standing there cluelessly. Been so all series..

 

[King Kane]

Ajaz not making the most of his lucky break and throwing away his wicket.

We need to get Phillips on strike but I'm not confident O'Rock can survive.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

As bad as these gifting wickets away is, I feel like it's foreshadowing how India are going to come out swinging shortly, and if there's a well set in-out field will probably have similar results. I don't think they can bear being bowled out defending again.

 

[SteveNZ]

Now we get O'Rourke who can't really bat but will sell his soul before he slogs out

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Well, there's 350...

 

[King Kane]

Great shot for six from Phillips to get the lead to 350.

 

[Slifer]

As i said b4 in another thread, this game/series isn't over yet. I may yet be proven wrong but a total 350 is perfectly gettable by India.

 

[King Kane]

Another six from Phillips, valuable runs from a valuable cricketer.
