NZ should chase 132 but on this pitch it will be far from easy.

More likely to do it than Ashwin would have been. I can’t believe they still pick him first for away tests
On dustbowls at home with the ball spinning square on day one Ashwin is decent. Literally everywhere else he's a pretenderThey pick Ashwin first because he's absolutely streets ahead of Jadeja as a bowler.
Which, generally speaking, is #8's job.
If India need runs from Jadeja then I'd suggest the problem lay a bit further up the order, not with Ashwin.
Very poor sportsmanship to do something like that. It’s the sort of thing that should be penalised so that it’s stamped out.India has just been told off by the umpire for yelling two and trying to cause a mix up between the batsmen. That should of been 5 penalty runs under law 41.5
Wouldn’t expect anything less from the IndiansVery poor sportsmanship to do something like that. It’s the sort of thing that should be penalised so that it’s stamped out.

Still need a good start after lunch. Don’t get me wrong they are in the box seat but India is bowling well and they are still getting a fair bit of assistance from the deckHuge for the kiwis to bounce back the way they have.

The result aside, the biggest positive is Jamieson. That's the bowler they have lacked, someone with genuine pace, all 3 of Wagner, Southee and Boult are relatively similar in pace. What I don't get is NZ playing Henry over him in Australia though!

I’ve only followed the commentary mostly, how quick has he been? Not that it matters so much when you’re basketball tall I guess
I will never understand the Henry selection. Ridiculous.
He doesn’t bowl with genuine pace. Mid 130’s, although he might quicken up.
6’8” (202cm) is his point of difference.
I agree though I wouldn't say he's got genuine pace (yet). Mid 130's seems to be his thing, but coupled with his bounce and ball movement it makes him a handful. There may be some games where he finds it hard to get a gig though ahead of Boult, Southee and Wagner and a spinner, but I think they need to fit him in.
But who would you drop ? Boult & Southee are the 3rd most successful new ball bowling p'ship of all time and Wagner is 2nd in the test rankings
Point taken thought he was a bit quicker. Seems he’s quicker than he is. That’s a good thing
The Jason holder effect. He hovers at 130 but on any pitch that has any amount of life he looks quicker than Roach who operates 138-139
Raval is done he won’t be backPlay 4 quicks, use Williamson and if Ravel plays there’s your spin options. Actually think Kane underbowls himself he’s very handy
Yeah sounds about right
