Black Caps in India
-
If I can interrupt for but a moment:
Austin Waugh (son of Steve) racked up a century for NSW Metro U17 as they took the final against QLD (by 152 runs) in the final today. There is a highlights vid in the link above.
He bats 4. Can hit. No pressure

Did we do the Saffas hitting the 2nd biggest run chase of all time yesterday to stuff Australia?

Even better, don't they hold the proud record of giving up 8 of the 10 biggest chases ever?

Would be at least 4 of the top 5?
Yeah - it's 4 of the top 4, 8 of the top 10.
I think my favourites were the 2007 series in NZ, when Aus kept posting giant scores, and we kept chasing them down.
Especially Hamilton, with Hayden's 181no... I believe he was taken straight to hospital for heat-stroke(?) (plus broken toe, apparently) after the innings - very probably assuming he'd won the game. I like to imagine his face when discovering it was all-for-nought. -

Austin, son of Steve
Who knew Tugger was such a big WWE fan.

i'd be a bit wary of having a go at the aussies for losing despite posting massive scores - if pressed you could probably come up with a reason that hasn't happened to us too often... still, gotta make hay where we can in the cricket sledging... pack of fucking chokers when they score big eh, bad as the saffas in a knock-out game!
-
Little Kane and Neesham in for us - Nicholls and Wagner out.
Batting should be much stronger - Santner possibly batting at eight. Bowling maybe a bit less bite.
The toss apparently crucial - I think that's the seventh in a row for India at home - they won all four against SA as well and I don't think they played anyone since?

@Chris-B. Bloody annoying

That really fucks me off. No DRS / hound the umpire / prepare pitches that don't last 5 days dickheads keep winning the fucking toss making them nigh on impossible to beat at home. Grrrr.

Bit rough on Wagner.. isn't he our best bowler on the ICC rankings?
I guess Boult and Henry looked a bit more threatening in the last test. I'm starting to think we should have picked Sodhi instead of Henry and opened the bowling with Boult and Neesh.
