Test India v New Zealand (3 Tests)

[western royboy]

Nope. It’s money and greed. India worrying about their businesses that IPL is the priority. No wonder.
BCCI try to influence every ICC decision. Continue to get tests, that and England. Yet in that time, both are overrated and horrible at tests.

No one apart from India themselves care about IPL. The players just want to get the cash and run.

No one is in charge of the game anymore - it’s purely about $$

The standard of batting is declining world wide no need to shorten Tests (those that get played anyway) most unlikely to last 4 days

got player of the series
Ravindra and Mitchell are linchpins in the middle

Phillips gives you a spinning all rounder option at 7.

Leaves Blundell whose keeps or Conway.

23-13 since (and including) that 36 all out game.
Won a series in Australia in that time, drawn series in each of SA and England in that time and made both WTC finals.

‘Horrible at tests’ is probably something of an exaggeration.

Australia is 22-8. So for context Australia was 22-8, and a few weeks ago India was 23-10.

If you limit that to bi-lateral matches in that period, Australia were 21-8, India 23-8. (Australia won the WTC once, India lost it twice).

So while this series was absolutely disastrous and right at this minute India are in an absolutely dire spot with what they need to do next, their last five years has not been horrible, or if it has, then it’s been a horrible that is as good as or better than every other side in the same period.

India haven’t helped themselves in this series though. Full credit to NZ, but **** me, the Indians batted really dumb on way too many occasions.

I’d be very surprised if they make that mistake in Australia.

if it was Conway, then Young opens and Kane bats 3?

Sublime stuff by the Black Caps. A truly remarkable feat. I shouldn't have thought it possible with Williamson, let alone without him!

Sucked in India.
