Terrific article on the Black Caps and their recent success ( although nothing fern experts like us don’t already know )
Absolutely magnificent. Still hard to believe this is reality. NZ number one in tests is just insane.

Ashwin has 6 for the match so needs 4 of the remaining 7 to get the century/10 double.
Only happened four times - the first by Botham against India!
Would be a hell of an achievement. He's already got one - just needs 3/7 ... easy eh

Should get it unless one of the other Indian bowlers catches fire. With two days left big victory is all but assured

@nzzp That was some performance by Botham. Fast bowler,13 wickets in Mumbai!

The Root LBW decision in the last over of the day was an absolute shocker. More plumb than a plumby thing. How DRS contrived that outcome I do not know. Even Root was wearing a sheepish grin afterwards.

@Catogrande Early Botham was some player. Before he got fat and generally bought his wickets. All bar 2 of his 13 wickets were recognised batsmen plus England were 57-5 when he came in. Great performance.

Yeah Imrans overall stats remained better so I think history will judge him the better player......but Beefy was a deadset legend from about 1977 to 1982.
Ashwin is some cricketer though, him and Jadeja are both terrific all rounders, more so than the overrated Stokes.

highlights the issue of trying to pick all time greats. Consistency vs incredible peaks; it's the Howlett vs Caucaunibuca discussion

Yeah from the sounds of it Imran either bowled OR batted well in a test but rarely both ?
