New Zealand Tour of India 2021 (3 T20's and 2 Tests)

[Carbine Chaos]

NZ will need just as much luck as grit to survive on this.

 

[Jamurp]

How good does Southee look batting in a cap though?

 

[Santana]

Riveting viewing this. Ravindra has shown good temperament for a debutant. I know he has made runs at first class level but does anyone know his average and where he usually bats.

39 and was opening last time I looked

 

[NYRB]

That looked plum to Southee as well............

yep thank you. Knew he was more than handy.

What has happened here

 

[corbies]

If I could give 12 month bans for anything in cricket it is this celebrating LBWs without appealing. It can get in the bin.

 

[Ekomaira]

how about appealing Jadeja

 

[corbies]

Ajaz should have taken 2 right gloves out Ishant at the SCG style.

spot on. umpire shouldn't give it until an appeal comes

 

[corbies]

spot on. umpire shouldn't give it until an appeal comes

I swear Brett Lee got told that if he kept doing it for caught behinds they'll start not giving it until he appeals.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Another pointless review, that was only not out if he got some bat on it.

Just about all over now.

Had 2 reviews left so would be stupid not to review even if it looked out.

so they should. Philander was really bad at it too

 

[NYRB]

Imagine if India won this game with the last over of the day.

 

[Plugger35]

The light is starting to fade, would be hilarious if the umpires allowed us to go off for bad light now, the crowd would probably lynch them though.

 

[NYRB]

I've been thinking of this for past years, but the 'bad light rule' is one of the worst rules in test match cricket.

 

[Jamurp]

Aint test cricket fantastic? What a finish.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

WOW

 

[ptrg]

God India just get everything go their way over there

Now the light, but that lbw earlier that hit him a foot outside off... Jesus

Thank god for Indians most hated rule - drs

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like Rahane talked the umpires into staying out there when they were looking at going off.

Batsman should be viewing the value and asking what the cutoff is. No room for umpires "discretion" here

 

[to1994]

You just know they'd be off for light if the tables were turned.

 

[NYRB]

Down leg on 1st inspection

 

[glenferry23]

Bit of a desperate review, none left now for India.

 

[Stax on the mill]

How many overs to go?

 

[Plugger35]

Hopefully just one over to go.

A pity it's Patel on strike and not Ravindra.
