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

Bah, it looks very tough out there but that was rubbish from Taylor.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bhuvi is such a gun. Ordinary shot from Taylor though, it must be said.

When was the last time we had a side 5 down in India without Ashwin taking a wicket?

 

[Zinzan]

Apart from Ronchi's, NZ have gifted every wicket on a plate. Even if the bowling has been good. Sub standard Test batting.

 

[TheJediBrah]

You think NZ has been outclassed? I don't see it that way, tbh. Beaten, not really outclassed, as a whole.

a little bit tbh

The fact that India are well on top here without really relying on their spinners, which is their strength, shows a certain level of dominance

Not like there's been a huge gap though. As long as NZ remain competitive touring it's somewhat of a moral victory, considering that home sides almost always dominate Test series' when an Asian side is involved lately.

 

[straw man]

Bah, 121/5, what is this. Hope we get the two for our hallmark score.

Always hate when Latham out early because Guptill is going to follow anyway. Without Williamson at three it's like the bad old days where Taylor at four is practically opening.

Probably the last time they had a home pitch where some balls from the seamers go over the keeper's head, and some get to him second bounce...

Nope.

Weird, that seemed to beat Santner for pace. Kept a little low but not in a great position to play it.

 

[straw man]

hahahahahah

 

[Bahnz]

Poor Henry, that would've been impossible to keep out even at noon on a sunny day. No chance.

 

[fredfertang]

Jeets to the rescue

 

[Zinzan]

Time to become a fair weather fan I think.

 

[Bahnz]

Don't worry lads. Jeets will see us through to 500.

That's all she wrote

 

[Bahnz]

Shot. Of. The. Series.

 

[fredfertang]

450 anyway

Your avatar feels strangely appropriate right now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Never drop Bhuvi ever again you idiots.

Where's this inconsistent bounce coming from by the way?

 

[vandem]

On the positive side, should be plenty in the pitch for the Kiwi seamers in the 2nd innings, although like Centurion (where they had SA 7-132) the game is already lost by poor 1st innings batting.

 

[Bahnz]

Heh, Flem is absolutely fuming in the comm box.
