*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[King Kane]

We could be witnessing greatness here.

Richard Hadlee in Brisbane back in 1985.

Doug Bracewell back in Hobart in 2011.

Micthell Santner in Pune back in 2024.

 

[Spark]

This is legit an ATG individual performance in a Test match. Wtf.

 

[Skyliner]

Nah, keep Sant on I reckon. He’s seeing the matrix out there.

 

[_Ed_]

He's now taken 18% of his total number of test wickets in this test.

 

[BazBall21]

Best part of India losing is always their commentators sounding like their dogs have just died.

 

[Moss]

Don’t mind giving Santner a well deserved break and bringing in one of the pacers here to test Sarfraz, though they’d need to be smarter about their lengths than they were in BLR.

Hoo hoo, what do I know. Made Sarfraz look like an amateur there. Guess a series win in India justifies the means.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Great bowling. One of the most pathetic losses I've seen. Well deserved for this team, been hanging on first dear life giving a long rope to mediocre batsmen for years banking on the same 2-3 guys in the lower order to bail them out every time.

Lmao

 

[mackembhoy]

Karthik sounds likes he's about to cry

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Santner averaged 197 with the ball in Sri Lanka a month ago

 

[Qlder]

Santner now has the 3rd best ever match figures for New Zealand

 

[Skyliner]

The ball keeping appreciably lower on occasions now, a huge advantage to the bowling side. ‘The airs gone out of the ball’ as they say.

 

[Jezroy]

Look I know Danny Veets had a very long career, and did some fantastic minnow feasting, but did he ever have a better bowling performance than this?

 

[morgieb]

Vindication for Athlai?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Santner averaged 197 with the ball in Sri Lanka a month ago

SL has probably the world's best top 7 tbf

 

[Skyliner]

Someone said Santners back. It’s more accurate to say he’s arrived. He took his maiden test 5 fer in this match. Only his second first class 5 fer.

 

[Spark]

Wow, Dinesh, wonder what might have changed between the 10th over and the 35th over that makes it harder to score quickly?

This is against India in India. They’ve won their last 18 test series’ at home. Performing like this to win a series here, if it happens ….that’s Hadlee at the Gabba territory.

Warning signs really should have been listened to last year when a frankly pretty mid Australian side came within whiskers of winning two Tests if not for a #9's batting and one of the most infamously inept sessions ever.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Still not forgiving him for ducking the last ball in the World Cup final.
