Black Caps tour of India

[1kiwi]

India going after this. NZ will need to have them 4 or 5 down before the end of the day to have a chance of winning the test.

Love how Jaiswal bats.

Get SatNav on next over

[nzzp]

He's got to back up this innings

Santner that is

That's extremely poor running from O'Rourke. He needs a bullocking for that. Not good enough.

Very much a specialist bowler, I get that but you should NOT get fucken run out in a test match ! Ever !

He’d better bowl well,

India have started with a hiss and a roar, this game might be over soon.

Burned a review, so I'll use my first fuck you, Blundell!

[Donsteppa]

O'Rourke is going to challenge Chris Martin's record with the bat at this rate. At least Martin wasn't a lazy bugger in the process.

Thought that one was the regular reminder that - for however bad umpires can be - the players are usually worse...

Yeah if he gets cleaned up by a beauty of a ball you shrug and say “ah well, he’s number 11…”

But he still has to be professional and do all he can to support the established batsman.

There’s nothing more admirable in cricket than a tailender supporting a batsman to a milestone.

I hinted at this a few days ago - O'Rouke has very mopey body language. He looks disinterested at times. While things are going well for him people will over look it, but when he fucks up or gets consistently tonked people will question him a little more than others. I say this because I was always accused of looking mopey even when I was trying and it was frustrating for me.

@Crazy-Horse is he Sotutu in disguise?

[MN5]

Santner !!!!!!

Eight for the match son ! Amazing !!!!!

[Chris B.]

Here's one I prepared earlier, Rohit!

[MN5]

Interesting stuff.

Fair to say the others have started much stronger than Ravindra has…..but these guys could well be of that KW/Kohli/Root/Smith class.

Will be interesting to check back in a couple of years

[Donsteppa]

O'Rourke's laziness sums up the Black Caps this session. They look like a team who woke up and just expected things to unfold for them.

[Chris B.]

@MN5 The Aussies won't like that!

[canefan]

We had better switch on, India have their tails up

[ACT Crusader]

Sheesh, this deck has turned into a batters dream and we are serving up right in the slot.

Superb batting by India.

[Donsteppa]

Blundell is a poor judge of the line for DRS.

[nzzp]

That was a huge moment

[nzzp]

Yes! Santner
