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

[magpiemaniac44]

What has happened? Missed the first hour and now India are in disarray.

Also who is getting dropped for Kohli next test? Surely you can't drop a debutant centurion.

Controversial new tactic sparks fierce cricket debate

Polarising India star Ravichandran Ashwin has debuted a bizarre new tactic during India’s Test clash with New Zealand.

www.news.com.au

I guess as long as he's not moving into the danger area of the pitch, it's ok? ridiculously fine line though. it's always Ashwin who seems to be involved in these things...

Guy is an antogonist but a very clever one . Always makes sure it isn't illegal then pushes the spirit of the game line , normally crossing it but doesn't seem to care about that .

Tactic was a simple one , be a distraction and a pain in the ar*e. Anything flashing across your eyeline as a bat is very distracting.
Pull that in grade or local cricket , you would be asked to stop then if you persist well you probably cop a bat over your head.

Kiwis gambling on Ravindra...

 

[Cleavy]

guessing NZ won't want to chase any more than 200

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Simply couldn't believe the numbers this Jamieson is putting up the begin his Test career.

 

[Plugger35]

Big wicket for Jamieson getting Ashwin, we really needed that.

Gives us a chance of keeping the lead to under 200.

 

[Santana]

Looking forward to seeing Shreyas get dropped for the next match for Kohl

 

[Santana]

India looks safe now. Probably deserved to lose after resting so many players against one of the better teams.

Wonder what their next move is.

 

[Santana]

Shreyas out now. They'll probably bat out their innings now.

 

[Plugger35]

Southee finally gets Shreyas but it could be too little too late with the lead already over 200.

India will probably get a lead of at least 250 now which will be a mountain to climb on this pitch.

 

[Plugger35]

Just our luck that Saha plays one of his few good knocks against us.

Bring back Pant, he might be more dangerous with the bat but at least we are more chance of getting him out.

Is it luck or has NZ simply not bowled well enough to get him out?

 

[Santana]

Not enough demons in this pitch right now. Not sure India will bowl tonight unless they get bowled out.

A bit surprised they haven't increased the temple a bit here.

Saha has 3 test tons btw

 

[Plugger35]

Is it luck or has NZ sinply not bowled well enough to get him out?

A bit of both, the pitch is still playing quite well though which gives me hope we can at least bat out a draw tomorrow.

 

[Plugger35]

I hope this is the last test Somerville ever plays for NZ, absolute grade cricket standard off spin trundler, bring back Wagner for him in the next test FFS.

 

[PhatBoy]

NZ have to solve their spin issue if they’re ever going to reach their peak. Chalk and cheese these two slow bowling attacks. Wagner would have been a way better alternative

 

[Nuggetz]

Nz overrate has been abysmal

 

[Cleavy]

NZ have to solve their spin issue if they’re ever going to reach their peak. Chalk and cheese these two slow bowling attacks. Wagner would have been a way better alternative

so play Wagner and bowl Williamson if required?

I think we're looking at their peak here. They've never been able to produce a high volume of great test spinners. That's probably not going to change in the next 5/10 years with this player core.

 

[Santana]

Not sure Kane will want to bowl that much with his elbow issue.

 

[Nuggetz]

Hahahahah sucked in to nz for their bullshit time wasting

 

[Nuggetz]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

 

[Santana]

Young timed out for the review on an LBW that was missing lol

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That was missing by a foot.

Young doesn’t review in time...out.

 

[corbies]

How the * did they take so long to decide to review that? It always looked to be turning too far.
