Black Caps tour of India - 2024

[Canes4life]

Not the worst start, Latham going early to a beautiful ball from Ashwin. Currently 45/1. Young (8) and Conway (21) at the crease.

[No Quarter]

If we can get something north of 300 in our first dig then we are right in this game

[Steven Harris]

Ashwin & Washington looking dangerous this surface already gripping
Important that we keep playing shots

[Chris]

We need 400 plus I think,,we do not what to be behind by much on the first innings on this dry wkt.

@Canes4life said in Black Caps tour of India:

Fingers crossed we win the toss, apparently the decision is to bat first. I'd rather crack a beer and watch us bat tonight versus bowl on a dust bin and watch us get pummeled.

12 years since we won a toss in India, won't be surprised at all if it's rigged.

Nicely played mate

[canefan]

Young gets the faintest of gloves on the ball and falls to DRS player review. Damn

[canefan]

And now in the ad break Sharma has been sucked in and gone for a DRS review vs Conway LBW. This looks down leg

[Chris]

bad review clearly going down leg.

[canefan]

Sharma is easily led. Same thing happened last game

[Canes4life]

Conway cracks a four to bring up his 50.

NZ currently 100/2, Conway (55 off 112 balls), Ravindra (5 off 13)

Bloody hell Ashwin is some bowler

[Donsteppa]

Dazza all at sea facing his first delivery too.

In poor form at the moment. Looks panicked

[Bovidae]

That was a poor shot from Conway.

Wastes another chance of a ton

He's been hanging the bat at them all day ... but he did score 76, so what do I know

[Damo]

Fraction disappointing from Conway there. He looked set for a big ton.

I hope we don't squander this good start. We need to set a big total and make the most of the rare time we win a toss.

[canefan]

These two have to hang around

[Canes4life]

Rachin is in great touch so let’s hope he stays around for most of the day, if not through until tomorrow.

Jeez Mitchell, chill out son.

[nzzp]

me oh my I have enjoyed that yes boy
