Black Caps v India

[No Quarter]

That last shot was pure sex.

[Gunner]

Little Kane with back to back 6’s over fine leg.
A little surprising that he’s going aerial with a man stationed there... doesn’t matter though when it’s that far over his head.

And now a trademark four through cover.

Just like that the pressure is released

[hydro11]

That over when from great to shit, fast.

[Gunner]

Oh fucking hell, now chopped on.

51/2

[Mokey]

Oh fucking bloody hell. 6642 then chops on.

[westcoastie]

fucksakes

[No Quarter]

So Rosco goes massive or we lose by plenty.

[westcoastie]

same issue as first game - need to build partnerships for crying out loud.

[Siam]

Aahh chopped on, fuck that hurt

Please Rossco...

[Squirrel]

This is a measured innings from Munro so far

[Gunner]

Munro has been pretty disciplined so far, there a fair few balls he’s blocked that he’d normally despatch over cow corner... or into the hands of the man in the deep.

Hope he kicks on here.

Snap @Squirrel

[No Quarter]

Terrible shot, but worth a review.

[Gunner]

Fuck this Yadav is a tricky customer, never seen an international bowler with such a round arm action.

Fucking Munro.

Another non-partnership.

[westcoastie]

geezus that round arm Indian bowler just doesn't seem right.
How long before ICC mandates the arm must be no more than 30deg to the vertical

They won’t, because India.

[westcoastie]

@No-Quarter like to see that review, that seemed outside off or is it down leg, Munro changed stance

[No Quarter]

Ridiculous end to Munro's innings, absolutely no need to go for a reverse sweep slog, the partnership was building nicely. Don't think he has the temperament for anything other than T20s at this level.

[Mokey]

So how many times do Guptill and Munro get to fail as an opening partnership.

[No Quarter]

Latham is fresh off a domestic T20 ton so has a bit of form. He and Rosco need to take us beyond the 35 over mark if we want to have a chance here.

Was thinking the exact same thing. Need a big partnership out of these two or we’re pretty much screwed.

@Mokey I can’t see them making a change this close to the WC...

What are our other options?

Use Latham there, push Nicholls up to 5 and play an extra all rounder?
Worker?
