What's up with Jonny Bairstow. How come we didn't see him against the Kiwis?

rested I think like the other IPL guys. To be honest I'm not sure if he's in their best side atm. I suppose if they want him to bat at 3 like he did in India or back down the order at 6.

A day and a half to go in what is essentially a one-innings shoot out.

Reckon a result is a pretty decent chance here, as the forecast is decent too. Wonder if Williamson and Kohli might agree to add on an extra 15 overs tomorrow? Doesn't really advantage either team (slightly more for NZ as they are in the better spot and will want more time) and would give that little bit more chance of a result (even if it does give off a bit of Cronje vibes).

As an aside anyone been watching all day? Turned out about half an hour ago and someone has been yelling inane gibberish the whole time. Have they been this relentless all day?

Have been watching. Williamson did terrific. I think Jamieson and Southee's innings tilted the advantage to NZ heading into the second innings.

Has been tough test cricket. Shami bowled brilliantly. India have batted well.

The first session of Day 6 will be fascinating.

The England v New Zealand series is finished mate. Go to the thread corbies linked to in the post above yours.

And no, it's not timeless in any case.
I know that series is finished mate. Did i mention anything about England vs NZ? The last 2 pages have been about the WTC. Timeless test was meant in jest due to the NZ vs India world championship going into extra time

Gee Kholi is a very ordinary cricketer right now. His last test century was nearly 500 days ago and that was again Bangladesh in India.

Forget the best batsman in the world, he isn’t even the best batsman in his team.
The keeper is better than him.
