Great review. Awesome.

Yeah - that was excellent. I think with DRS it's a bit more risky padding away balls outside off.

Meanwhile Somers is fielding offers to play for the Ilfurdhi 2nd XI next weekend.

Can Ajaz do a Paddles?

Let's hope so. (It looks like he'll need to - given the rest of the bowling options.)

Forget Paddles, he could do a Kumble

As a batsman.

[ACT Crusader]

Ajaz, take a bow son. That was amazing.

[Chris B.]

Wow - ten for Ajaz!!!

[ARHS]

Wow. Who ever said test cricket was boring. Pleased to see that happen

[Donsteppa]

Sir. Sir Ajaz Patel.

[ACT Crusader]

Even got a little dusty in the ACTC house when they all ran to him after the 10th.

[ARHS]

How many have bowled 48 overs out of 110? Only 7 for others at his end??

Sir. Sir Ajaz Patel.

10 wickets, he’ll be in the side for the next 10 years

[Pepe]

Outstanding effort. They kept tossing him the ball.
He kept delivering...

Here's Laker's test.

Somerville can take a bit of consolation from Tony Lock's efforts - especially in the 2nd innings.

[nzzp]

wow, Ajaz Patel. Truly remarkable performance. Incredible.

I have no more words. Best bowling performance bya kiwi, only 3 times in 150 years. Just amazing.

Remember this. We may just be disemboweled on a turning track, but this is some effort. All 10. So proud right now, what a team

[Chris B.]

@nzzp There was a reason for Wags not playing!

I knew it Dan...

[SynicBast]

Left arm off-break spinner - 10 wickets - can bowl with a new cherry - don't think they can leave him out again for domestic tests, given he bowls well on pitches with pace and bounce. I might just be grinning like a cheshire cat - the last 7 years aside from that blip in Australia have been remarkable.

No there wasn't. Not if Somerville was the supposed rationale.

[MN5]

Wow. A 10 fer is quite surreal. Hats off fella, amazing !

Just think how many legends of the game never managed it themselves….

[sparky]

Ajaz, you fucking legend.

Now we need to bat well.

The path to victory is clear. Bat for 2.5 days and declare 200-250 ahead. Then bowl India out in 4.5 sessions.

Survive against a bouncing, turning pitch.
