Playing for a draw here and doing okay.

I'm not sure what else we could've been playing for....

Sporting clichés......

"experiencing indian conditions and umpires...."
"time in the middle for less experienced guys....."
"We lost the series 2-0 but fought hard in the last and the young guys will learn a lot from this....."

feel free to add any others you see fit.

Poor Guppy

Ashwin to Ronchi, OUT, has Guptill been run out at the non-strikers' end? He has! What an awful way to go. He was backing up, and having seen his partner drill a superb straight drive, he probably had the right to. But Ashwin reaches to his right, gets just enough of a deflection - only the tip of his ring finger met the ball - that made sure the ball didn't go to the boundary and instead hit the stumps
MJ Guptill run out 72 (144b 10x4 2x6) SR: 50.00

Insert gratuitous frustrated comment about the Foodbill now needing to save us from one of the playing Foodbill's on this tour.

Sigh...

No Quarter

Guppy just 100% cannot buy a trick. I actually felt really bad for him today, he looked set for a ton.

Rosco's massive dip in form post Zimbabwe continues, what's going on there?

Numbers 3-5 gave us 8 runs. Chasing 557... eek.

TeWaio

274/7, our highest innings score this tour...but India got 557/5d.

Neesh going well, into the 70s now batting with the tail.

Fuck the Neesh ain't bad when he ain't broken.

No Quarter

There's been some pretty solid jinxing today.

Nearly 300 when Williamson and Taylor get a grand total of eight runs between them ? I'll take that shit any day of the week.....

Taylor is horribly out of form right now. Disappointing from Kane. Good from neesham, but these middle order collapses are bloody annoying. Mid to tail have always been our fighters, and now they are just pathetic.
