*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[Moss]

I think we probably have enough runs already on this viper tbh. But wouldn't hurt to have a few more.

Not sure about that, there’s plenty in it for the spinners but Sodhi from Santner is a downgrade. Much depends on Ajaz finding his length.

 

[King Kane]

The Jadeja arm ball too good for Phillips, hopefully Sodhi can stick around to support Mitchell, I would have preferred Santner coming in now though.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

can we get an IV out to mitchell when a wicket falls

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Nice one India. Give Mitchell easy singles when he probably doesn't even want the strike right now.

Rohit is dumb captain

 

[trundler]

Sodhi could be a huge liability here.

 

[Meridio]

Think I'd take 230 from here. Very much the sort of pitch where wickets fall in clumps, hard to get started on when some are turning and some aren't. Need Ajaz to be on song.

 

[Chubb]

Big effort from Mitchell in these conditions.

Ravi the destroyer

Mitchell needs a cold drink, shower, ice bath, massage, a lie down and a big bag of pretzels. Preferably all at the same time. At least he won't have to waste any time washing his hair

 

[Moss]

Phillips getting out after a start was pretty crucial, getting through to tea giving Mitchell a breather would have been a much better position for NZ given how he can push the scoring rate.

Guess Mitchell may have no choice but to aim for the boundary from now on.

 

[danzydab]

Ashwin is struggling on a raging turner, this should be a concern for India.
Jadeja is kind of unplayable atm

Sodhi can bat, should try to score 20 runs.

 

[King Kane]

Great knock from Mitchell, he's earnt a nice cold Swan lager at tea, save the rest of the carton for when he gets a hundred at stumps.

 

[Bahnz]

Sodhi can bat, should try to score 20 runs.

Nah he should try and score a hundred imo.

 

[centurymaker]

Ashwin is 38+ and this might be his last ever test series in India. He's done.

 

[ataraxia]

Ashwin is 38+ and this might be his last ever test series in India. He's done.

Nah he's only 34+; he's fine.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nah he should try and score a hundred imo.

He should try to score 300 but ultimately be happy with 20 odd.

 

[King Kane]

Mitchell bringing up the 200 in style with a six.

Looks like he had an energy drink at tea.

 

[King Kane]

Sarfaraz needs to work on his catching instead of his chirping.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Agree. I could see India getting a decent lead and then rolling us in the 3rd innings
