Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020

[Damo]

Jamieson has been bowling quite well. Unlucky with 2 chances. He's not quick but he gets a lot of bounce.

[Chris B.]

That drop by BJ could end up costly. Chance to not quite open up an end, but on the way to it.

[nzzp]

Fark me, I love Neil Wagner. Just tries his guts out, love to see him bowl. Fantastic stuff.

[Virgil]

Michelle for Jamieson!

Stoked for the tall bastard

current spell of 3 - 1 - 1 - 4

One might ask why the fark KJ wasn't in Aus when our bowlers dropped like flies.

[Bovidae]

@Mokey He was, just not selected.

A yorker might be a good option, Trent.

[Damo]

I nip out to do some shopping and wtf happened. KJ got 5 wickets??

[Chris B.]

I'm going on a limb to say Jamieson over Ajaz was the right choice!

Well done, Stead.

[Mokey]

@Bovidae That makes it so much worse.

[Chris B.]

@Mokey That height and bounce would have been handy in Perth.

Overall, though, I'm not too worried that he didn't get a start in Sydney. A debut against the rampant Aussies in a demoralized team might have set him back a couple of years.

A brave call indeed!

Jamieson has been good but not someone I actually expected to succeed. He lacks pace and doesn't do a lot with the ball. He is also not someone you would chuck the new ball to. As good as Jamieson has been, with Wagner a must pick, he is always competing with the spinner. It's nice not to have to pick a spinner when we often bowl them for 3 overs in a home test. I think you do want a spinner in Australia though.

What about at Lords in the final of the World Test Championship?

If we can win this test, we're in the hunt.

Our remaining series are Windies and Pakistan in NZ and Bangladesh away.

Optimistically, we could end up with 4 series wins a draw and a loss, which would quite likely be good enough.

[Godder]

50 opening partnership, not a bad start.

[Cyclops]

No wickets lost at stumps, that's an excellent result.

[Donsteppa]

Close to a perfect day of test cricket.

[MadGav]

Jamieson moves it enough.

You only need to move it a little bit, with accuracy to be successful.

He's also quick enough as the bounce he gets make up for the lack of raw pace.
