***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

From what I saw on the first two days, Jeets is a terrible fielder. Didn't look like he wanted to be anywhere near the ball.

Used to be one of the best in the world. Now he's a 36 year old fat bastard.

 

[91Jmay]

He's got good hands and a strong arm but he doesn't move very well anymore and it is noticeable especially in white ball cricket. That is a dire shot, shame as he did well.

was awesome in his youth. there's a catch off gilly at backward point that sticks in the mind

 

[Contra]

All this anger over going off the field during rain, ball change, having bowled a no ball taking a wicket, and Ashwin just comes on and gets him first ball. Too awesome xD

 

[Bahnz]

Bah, good innings though.

 

[Gnske]

The shot of utter selfishness.

I'd hate to be the guy shilling for Jeets.

 

[Flem274*]

give us wagner

 

[91Jmay]

Wagner and Henry can both bat properly can't they?

Henry's a bit more of a biffer, but both are a level above Boult/Southee.

I really think Watling needs to go up the order. His innings take time, and every single innings he seems to be battling away while a succession of tail-enders fall at the other end. We've seen in the past the results when he gets in a partnership with one of the top order.

Yup. The more I think about it the more I feel Southee not being in the team has benefitted NZ greatly. They don't have him bowling trash with the new ball upfront and without his "batting" at number 9,10, their lower order looks a lot more stubborn.

Yeah, either he should bat one spot higher or they need to tell their tailender s to block instead of 6theeing it.

it's nice having a real batsman at #7 though

i suppose if his body could cope with the gloves and the higher batting position he would be perfect at #5, but it would give the intent brigade free rein lower down

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah Henry impressed me with ball in first innings. Is he the one who has had injuries?

 

[Shri]

Ashwin!

 

[Contra]

yessssssss!

 

[Flem274*]

WPWB getting out to Shami. Dark days.

 

[91Jmay]

Bit of reverse there. Hope Rohit gets a century in second innings after coming in with lead at 300+ already. Would be hilarious.

I'd be disappointed if Rohit has to come out to bat in the second innings.
