Superb batting by Rachin, absolutely frustrating the Indians.
His parents are from Bangalore, right? If so they'll be loving this.
Yeah he spent a bit of time in Bangalore when he was young. So pretty cool for him to get a century like that at his second home.
I think he also was sent there to practise as a kid? Might be a good idea for some of our other young (potential) guns in the future!
His father runs the Hutt Hawks. Who toured / tour India each season. They go to that part of India each time as that is where he has connections.

Win, lose or draw the difference between this test and the last Sri Lankan one is huge.
Is Latham THAT much of a better captain than Southee ?
I think he is that much better. But everyone has picked their form up as well, so multifactorial reason for our improvement, as always

If Southee was captain, entirely possible that everything up until about the 40th over of India's innings (ish) happens the same. From that point though, Latham largely set good fields, made sensible bowling choices, and held his nerve.
Ultimately though, this win is more indicative of the fact that Henry and O'Rourke have bowled excellently in tandem, and Ravindra + Conway batted really well... easy to forget, we were not a million miles off in the first test v SL.

In hindsight the SL basically feels like a warmup. Which is not professional.
I thought Latham's captaincy once Pant was out was excellent. Ramped up the pressure on the Indians big time, seized the initiative, and the bowlers came through for him

Bloody hell, are you new to supporting the Caps?

The BCCI will be making sure that outfield is pristine before their guys walk out there.

Smithy said the outfield is very quick to drain
