I think every grand plan the fern has come up with has failed so far

I say we let test cricket naturally serve up it's twists and turns, and be the great game it is. Just buckle up behind the couch and go along for the ride.

Enough meddling you bloody control freaks!

We're a part of history here people!

I hope that fence up your ass crack isn't creating too much discomfort

@shark when your junkie flake of a teenage kid finally does something decent, gets a job and enrolls in night school, a grateful father knows when to sit back and relax

Been watching this kid fuck up for 40 odd years

@majorrage They've got to bat three sessions and bowl us out in one?

That doesn't sound like the power is with them.

However, while we're anxiously sitting here with a modest lead of 32, spare a thought for our friend @newsjunkie, who's going to be behind his sofa sweating on his fear of 20/4!

Up since 4.30 am here, and the 1st session is going to be stressful for sure!

Open with Southee and Jamieson?

[Siam]

@damo hope it's boult. Rugby tenet. Earn the right to go wide, first. These openers have got us here. Jameson can wait. Patience and trust the processes that have worked

A doff of the cap to you good sir. Well called.

[No Quarter]

Lovely conditions for batting today. Going to have to work very hard for our wickets me thinks.

Or in boxing terms let the jab make room for the power punches

Yes indeed. Though it does appear India are looking to score some runs.

KJ bowling well.

But in cricket terms you open with the player most likely to take wickets.

I love Boult, but right now the man most likely to run through India is Jamieson.

Yeah, I meant this morning, not open with the new ball (though that time may come).

[Siam]

@damo agreed mate. There'll be some ball analysis and complex bowling and fielding plans at play too. Jamieson's early inswingers possibly pointing to that

[kev]

Yes

[Damo]

That was sloppy.

Gimme wicket really.

[Donsteppa]

Big wicket - Jamieson gets Kohli 2/2 in the match.

[No Quarter]

Kyle all over Kohli! Superb bowling

[Siam]

Wow, that was very "un-regal" like

That looked like a chink (in the indian armour- in case the ECB is here, )

[MN5]

Awwwwwww fuck yeah gottim !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wairau]

Kohli out fishing!!
