Black Caps in India

Poor Guppy

46.6
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.

[MN5]

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

[No Quarter]

There's been some pretty solid jinxing today.

Yes, that was fucken brilliant from me......

[TeWaio]

@No-Quarter Woops.

[MN5]

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.

[Canerbry]

Bring Back Jeremy Coney

[reprobate]

fuckin hell, poor old guppy finally gets going and gets run out like that.

Hands up if you dislike R Ashwin (I said R Ashwin*)

I havent' endured it in years, but eee our Ashwin.

[MN5]

Coro Street in jokes on the fern ? what THE FUCK is going on here, seriously ?

Some more ammo for the Jeets fanboys with him getting the one and only wicket so far ( haven't lots of guys been run out in this test too ? )

[Donsteppa]

@MN5 there's a guns and strippers thread somewhere for you, probably started by our Aaron.

As for Jeets, 1/28 so far is again nothing to suggest he'd be markedly better (or worse) than any of the other spinners tried in his absence. Craig had a good second innings record for a while too...
