Test India v New Zealand (3 Tests)

[rdhopkins2]

That’s stumps. A great ending to the day.
You have to say though that India are their own worst enemy.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Poor old Kohli looks mentally shot

Series here will be his last I reckon. Probably still has a few good innings in him, same with Smith

 

[hawkman]

India really seem to be going down the bazball route of quick scoring and terrible shot selections getting themselves out

 

[sabso]

Kohli. Forward defence to the hat-trick ball as the stadium sighs collective relief.

Ajaz should have bowled an innocuous half tracker to kohli, would have got the hat trick no problem

I'd have Kohli in the Australian side in a heartbeat.

 

[Jascave]

India (and Virat Kohli) couldn't really have picked a worse time to be out of form, with a vital tour of Australia looming. Pat Cummins and his Australian team think all their Christmases has come at once. Wouldn't be surprised to see Australia win the series 4-0 with one Test drawn.

 

[Plugger35]

Not an ideal start to the day with Pant taking 12 off the first over, he isn't mucking around.

 

[Plugger35]

Chapman subbed on to the field and proceeds to drop a sitter off Gill, we need to sub him off again.

 

[Plugger35]

Another shocking drop from Henry off Pant, Phillips should have had both of them out.

I would be more upset if this wasn't a dead rubber and we hadn't already won the series.

 

[The 747]

Pant doing his thing and having an impact on this game. The Kiwi drops were not great cricket though.

 

[Plugger35]

Sodhi finally gets rid of Pant with an lbw, if it was another catching chance we probably would have dropped it.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Another shocking drop from Henry off Pant, Phillips should have had both of them out.

I would be more upset if this wasn't a dead rubber and we hadn't already won the series.

Still not ideal as a loss spells the end to any chance NZ has of making the WTC final.

They need to win all of their next four tests to make it.

I'm not that bothered about winning the WTC, we already won the first won, that's good enough for me, no need to win it again.

 

[Plugger35]

Mitchell finally taking a catch off Phillips to remove Jadeja.

 

[Plugger35]

Ajaz getting rid of Sarfaraz with a jaffa, the Black Caps are striking back.

 

[Plugger35]

Ajaz gets rid of Ashwin to take a 5'fer.

If only he could bowl on pitches like this in NZ, he would be one of the all time greatest spinners along with Santner.

 

[Cleavy]

better take the last wicket fast, Sundar is throwing the bat and India's lead could blow out to 50+ in no time.

 

[Cleavy]

ran out the tailender, that works! India lead by 28 on the first innings.

 

[Plugger35]

Thank god the dumb no.11 Deep ran himself out as Washington was batting like Pant, that lead of 28 could have been a lot worse.

 

[010203]

Good on Pistol for not bothering with snicko for that LBW that was overturned as it was obvious Latham got an inside edge.

Latham gone next ball, clean bowled by Siraj.

 

[cricketnut14]

jadeja 314 @ 23.96
ashwin 533 @ 23.96

 

[Plugger35]

Latham surviving an lbw appeal and then gets clean bowled.

Thank god we have the new Williamson in Young to steady the ship.

 

[sabso]

Saints fan logic

 

[freo_leo29]

Brain fade from Ravindra

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra needs a talking to, he may be the next left handed Lara but even Lara took a few overs to play himself in.
