Black Caps in India
-
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.

When I first heard of the proposal to do away with the toss and visiting team decides I was quite firmly against it
Not so sure anymore
Not that the bcci would adhere to it if it became law anyway....
-
India have not lost any of their last 7 home tests when they lose the toss. No one has won in India since 2012 when they win the toss.

Just imagine how bad this would be looking without Jeets.
Selectors vindicated by that one spell alone.
Impressive batting from Kohli and Rahane. Just as impressive was Guptil surviving those 9 overs
-
Martin Guptill take a bow, just goes to show if you give a guy a million chances he'll come right ( could use that logic if, god forbid, any of us were called into the national team but still.....)
( in the tune of 'Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby" by the Kaiser Chiefs ) "Guppy, Guppy, Guppy GUPPY !!!!!"
