Meanwhile, Jim Laker has breathed a sigh of relief and gone back to being dead.
This made me chortle so much. Great stuff

It looks like Santner and Somerville have probably played their last Test matches.
Not if Somerville and Taylor put on 200 unbeaten for the 8th wicket partnership.

That would move him into Jason Gillespie territory.

Gillespie was a good bowler though

Still dropped after a double ton

I was also thinking of Danny Morrison.

India declare with a paltry 539 lead
Pretty poor sportsmanship from the Indians to stop Ajaz from getting 5..

Lucky for them, I’m sure Somerville was due some wickets.

He bowled like the guy my mate and his son saw practicing in the nets down at Shore Road on his own a couple of months ago

I thought @mimic was being sarcastic that’s why he got an upvote.
Patel went for a shitload more than Paddles, I don’t think it’s right he had a chance to “beat” his match figures !

Probably was - it's one of those things that doesn't translate well on the interweb.
Meanwhile, Tommy Latham is already struggling vs Ashwin and I think he's probably the guy with the best tools and form to play a decent hand here.

@mn5 said in NZ tour of India:
11-0 already. These two have decided to play a 20/20
Allowing for bad light, realistically there is only ~210 overs to chase down the total. We do need to be positive. No sense in leaving too much for the final session on day 5.
-
I think we can console ourselves in the fact this is far from the best team we can turn out, and even then this is a pitch not suited to us and very suited to our hosts. We will respond in kind with nice bouncy seaming wickets and considerably cooler climes the next time they come to town
-
On Ashwin……I think he’s the most underrated cricketer in the world at present. I mean, everyone knows he’s very good but in actual fact he’s a fucken exceptional player. A brilliant, brilliant bowler and a more than capable batsman too, as I’ve griped about in the past he’s probably going to go past Paddles for test wickets taken whilst playing less tests.
