Should have bowled first.
No question IMO given the dodgy form of our batting line-up.
Our best chance was to have India going hard against our bowlers and nicking out Rohit and Virat early.
Instead, we're the ones thinking we need to post 300 and behind the eight ball.
Only good thing is that might be Bunrah's first spell done and he's only got one wicket. And they used up their review - two good things.
-
could this be just one of those pitches you've got to get yourself in on...so long as these two don't get out we're fine...

This game is already over
NZ will go do well to get 225 runs let alone sniff 250 runs
I think the Kiwi based TSF members can have an early night

I think most teams back themselves do both, even if they are better at one of them. So most teams base it on the conditions when perhaps they shouldn't.
Regardless if we are at 30/1 after 10 overs, that is fine going. The real question will be how we play Chahal.
-
Well one thing is for sure, if Munro was playing we'd be at least 2 down by now.
-
Not out, no review. Hah.
-
I'm actually happy with the start given how well Bumrah bowled. We didn't lose a bunch of wickets and we now have two set players at the crease, which is a far cry from the last few matches.
Still a massive task ahead but at least we haven't lost the game already.

@MN5 yep my bad, typo. Wonder if both would be in the same 11 though
Depends if it's a like for like replacement or if we just combine the best players of each team. A combined team would include Kane, Rosco, Boult and Ferg IMO.
We have some world class players, I really think we've badly underperformed in the last three games.
@No-Quarter Lockie wouldn't, the other 3 would. A team with both Bumrah and Boult in it, with Bhuvi/Shami available, plus the Indian wrist spinners?
