Mccullum knows defense isn't his strength.

Time for all front foot no-balls to be called by the 3rd ump. This is ridiculous.

In 90 overs anything is possible especially on the fifth day of a test match. I don't rate our attack though.

A very very unlikely possibility

I certainly rate Pak's ability to get themselves out, especially in a pressure situation.

Southee+swing=boom.
Always a chance Martin will produce as well.
Then you factor in the overdue Pakistani batting collapse.
Draw is the favourite, but this game could stay alive yet.

Chris Martin on the verge of being dropped and never playing again with bucket loads of consecutive poor performances ripped through an Indian almost ATG batting line up on a flat pitch in less than a session. If we have learnt anything from these two teams it's that they are unpredictable.

New Zealand need to score 300 runs tomorrow and then declare.
Therefore, McCullum will be key. If he can stay in for a long time, 300 runs is doable.

only to then see the Indian lower-order bat them out of the match, which sums up the effectiveness of this NZ bowling attack for me

Pleading proved quite effective on this occasion. Might resort to it more often.

I am always one of those advocating for human mistakes in umpiring, but this whole test has been real crape with respect to umpiring......and i can't help but feel that the outcome of this test has been so ridiculously effected by some of the awful umpiring. Are these seriously elite umps from ICC? Dire.

At least we can say they've been consistent, though - both sides have been on the receiving end of some shockers.

Tbf Nzl were down to only 2 bowlers in that match, with Bennett and Ryder injured and Patel useless. Was very unlucky.only to then see the Indian lower-order bat them out of the match, which sums up the effectiveness of this NZ bowling attack for me
Was at the basin for the last session. Was bitter sweet. Sweet because Marto picked another 3, and for once we didn't make hash of dismissing the tail. Bitter because I had a bet on Pakistan getting to 300 before losing their 4th wicket, which the umpires spectacularly ****ed up. Oh well, at least we're back even now. Too bad it looks like the weather is going to ruin the last couple of days.

So do I. But so far Misbah has been remarkably cool under pressure. Got out on 99. So far I have been surprised by the resilience this Pakistan side has shown under Misbah
True. But the umpiring has been dire.

Trent Boult. I wouldn't be against Hamish Bennett either, although Boult's the better bowler of the two at this stage imo.

I notcied the other day that Alastair Cook made his test debut basically two years after Brendon McCullum and he's managed to play nine more matches during that period of time. Now McCullum iirc hasn't missed a test match for New Zealand since debuting so it's rather ridiculous when you really think about it.
