Ian Smith clearly had a memory transplant saying our fielding has been exemplary this series. We've taken a few good ones, but we've also dropped quite a few chances. It's amazing we've won the series despite that.

Good to be dropping all the catches now rather than in Bengaluru

FFS another shocking drop from Henry, do our fielders hate Phillips, they have cost him two wickets today.

I'm not too worried about gill. He's made runs against cumm-haze-starc-lyon in AUS before. Ditto Pant. Rest of the batting lineup worries me way more, and none of them have gotten runs here. Jaiswal's fetish for playing balls uppishly around gully worries me with the extra bounce.

Hah, though the fielding’s been better than in SL its still a concern area for NZ.

This partnership looks decisive. Pant and Gill should just sit on the bowling and grind NZ out.

Gill will be eaten alive by Hazelwood and Cummins if there's even a little help in the deck. He did well last time because the pitches in the back half of that series were much slower and flatter.

Hardly the point. Indias batsmen will get destroyed even on a slow flat Adelaide deck if they bat the way they've been batting this series. They badly need some runs. Any runs.

Oh yeah definitely I just don't think there's much transferrance either way - by the same token I don't think some of the comedy techniques against spin are going to matter either.

Sodhi actually bowled a few nice deliveries that over - well flighted and pitched, with a bit of drift in. Would love to say he's settling into his spell, but...

Gabba wasn't slow. Gabba had good bounce.
Pujara got hit on the body 10 times on day 5. India too got quite a few wickets with Australian batsmen having to fend at awkwardly rising back of a length deliveries. Sydney was a slow flat track though.

Was always a chance to happen with just how unpredictable Sodhi's bowling has been, that's ragged a mile

Gabba was slowish by Gabba standards. Very even paced and comfortable aside from one day where it got very variable for some reason.
