Black Caps tour of India
-
@No-Quarter It's doing lots so would probably suit his do less style of bowling.
I can see Ish maybe fizzing it around, but doing too much.

OK Mitchell needs to try and hit us to 250, then we're gonna need to bowl very well
-
That is huuuge
-
Not enough runs, but with 20 overs left we have a chance to keep ourselves in it if we can get 2 - 3 wickets
-
Can't afford that when we don't have many runs to play with

Blundell gone for a duck. This could be the end of him in the test side. He hasn’t performed for a long time now.
I agree. But who is the next WK?
Gee I miss BJ ...

Thata boy Henry, well deserved

Henry has taken 32 wickets at 16 this year

A mini collapse leaves India 80 odd for 4, although one of the 4 was the nightwatchman so more like 3.5. Amusingly, Kohli took the nightwatchman, then had to come out and bat anyway, then ran himself out. I wonder if he wasn't mentally prepared to bat, assuming that the nightwatchman would get through to stumps.
Game on. Massive first session tomorrow.

@nzzp Those odds probably reflect the money of millions of Indians who can't believe their mighty team could get beaten again.
In paper, they really shouldn't - but, they're playing a bit like men in a knockout game who are 15 points down with 10 to go and they'll have to bat last on this pitch.
I think we're marginally ahead in this game. If we'd made NQ's 300 we'd be looking good.

Had a thought about nightwatchmen this morning. Siraj not only got out first ball, he burned a review doing it. Since your batting is normally ordered roughly by talent, burning a review isn't too bad, because the batters after you are generally less valuable. But burning a review in an attempt to save your number 10 while your number 4 is sitting in the shed isn't quite so good.
Now that they've gone back to 3 reviews/innings it doesn't matter so much, but it's still not a great use of resources.

It also worked out worse than that, the player they were protecting Kolhi got run out as well.

The Siraj review and Kohli runout were entertaining viewing
