I doubt nz will make 200 in any of the 6 innings. And I'm expecting 'normal' pitches, not bunsens
Didn't expect much from Kane anyway, tbh.

A couple of runs short of 3 from 3 so far assuming you don’t count the last innings of the last test.
( I’m shocked too )

Never, never underestimate the Caps ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Been awesome to watch though.@reprobate said in Black Caps tour of India:

Been awesome to watch though.Test cricket played at a rollicking pace like this is always good, we’re still only on day 3 today !
We need a pretty big score from one or both of these guys, possibly unfair to expect Santner or Southee to go large again.

For some reason, I had it in my head that we were 3 days in and batting on day 4 with a lead of 300, so was thinking it would be good to declare around lunch...
Given it's only day 3 today, may as well bat to tea or so.

I did too but there’s been quick run rates and no rain delays.
I think they need to bat til they’re all out personally !

Probably need 4 sessions to bowl India out, depending on conditions.

Yup. Crush their will to live if we can (it will weaken them for the final game), let our batsmen get some runs, set a massive total, and we can still leave ourselves 2 days to bowl them out

This would have been a laughable post even a week ago, but India are out of sorts and we’ve lifted massively.
Sport sure can be funny and fickle !

That would be awesome
But 198/5Another 100 runs would be the most realistically we could expect I think
That would be 400 run lead. Would be a record breaking chase to get it. -
So which to watch and which to flick over to check the score - the cricket or the rugby?
Sorry about your NPC lads!

I was wondering the exact same thing as I clicked into this thread! It will be the Rugby for me.

The dumbest thing about the SkySportNow app is that you can only stream it on one device at a time, which is just so absurd as it just forces you back into the dark ages despite the technology available to have it on mote than one. I absolutely despise Sky for doing that. I have worked out though that if you just keep re-trying on each device when you get the message saying it's already playing on another, then often you can get through and it starts playing on both. So I'll try that and have both the cricket and rugby on.
