*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

Still can’t believe that non review. 3 to play with and you are defending a small total.

I really think we are just paying for everything Ganguly did to a side that was on top of their game. Yeah, we were failing in WC KOs but we were doing well in tests and yet he decided to use his flex to move the coach around instead of the ****ing WTC finals around.

For all their faults, and they had plenty, Shaz-Kohli era definitely made our teams better and were always doing what they thought was the best to win cricket games, even when they were stupidly wrong. We sabotaged them coz Ganguly's ego and we are paying the price since. We lost a very winnable series in RSA in 2021, drew a game we should have won against NZ at home, struggled in every series since, home or away, except against Bangladesh and even to them, we almost lost that test away.

The worst part is that we seem to have no good right hand batsmen coming through. Shreyas was the only one and he has already done his back and is half the batsman he was, and he was iffy against pace away even then. I wont be surprised if they keep Sai Suds and DDP as reserves with the main side alongside the other 3 travelling reserves as we will need the backup in batting for Australia.

These two are looking too comfortable now, we need to change things up with Sodhi, Henry or even O'Rourke, we can't just let this continue to drift.

 

[trundler]

What's the point of Sodhi if you're not going to give him a go here

Jadeja not bothering to score

And goneeee

 

[straw man]

great catch, needed that

 

[honestbharani]

As @Arachnodouche called it, short leg in business always with Jaddu against spin. Short leg and slip.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Good to see that it paid off.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Lol watching Jadeja bat these days brings to mind a knot desperately trying to untie itself.

 

[ashley bach]

Washington for president if he gets India home from here

 

[King Kane]

Great catch from Young to get rid of Jadeja, I would have preferred to get rid of Pant but that wicket still keeps us in this.

 

[honestbharani]

Another unforced error btw.

 

[ataraxia]

Nah missed it by a way I thought

 

[trundler]

"May as well" review

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Close but no cigar

Saw one from Ajaz keep very low an over ago. The ball is old enough now where this will happen more often.
