Black Caps tour of India - 2024

No Quarter

Despite all the noise from the crowd, India and the commentators, we did that easily in the end. That's a hiding.

Geez, 33% with just 20 runs to get?

You haven’t contributed to this thread all match, don’t try and hop on the bandwagon now.

I highly doubt you've contributed either.

I’d tell you to get fucked if I wasn’t in a state of euphoria

Absolute legends the lot of them.

Brilliant win.

This is why fans were calling for Ravindra to be given an extended run in the side.

How big was that Kohli wicket by GP eh.

The balance of the side is so much better now - feels like a keeper with better technique is on our radar though

Yep, it actually is. If they’d even got a hundred more in the first innings that could have been extremely close.

To do this with Mitchell, Blundell, Phillips etc still to come.

Spanking.

Bloody great result in the end there. Henry on the first day was sublime and Ravindra.. well he speaks for himself. Fantastic.

Canes4life

Who gets player of the match? I’d go with Ravindra just from the absolute poise he showed at the crease. Henry unlucky.

Three candidates for MOM.

Given we’re in India I’m sure they’ll pick the batsman so it’ll be Ravindra despite some terrific efforts from Henry and O’Rourke….

Some terrific contributions from Conway and Young’s poise is worth noting too. Can’t be easy filling in for KW.

Quite happily basking in that win. A long time between drinks, going back to the days of R J Hadlee and J G Wright.

I think O'Rourke is MOTM. His spells in both innings won us the game.

Ravindra will get it because the game is biased towards batsman.

Yep, you cannot underestimate how hard it is to win there.

That’s why their players have such amazing records at home.

Ravindra will get it but interesting point.

Henry looks better on paper but as you point out O’Rourkes bowling changed the game more.

Maybe my plans for the evening after that result. I’ll let you all know in due course.

Well done!

I read the other day that of the current players Ajaz Patel was the only one alive when NZ last won in India. Tim Southee was close to being born.

Ravindra - scored about a third of our runs for one out

Will bowled better and got more top order batsmen than Henry. I'd give it to him, but suspect they'll pick Rachin
