They're not mutually exclusive. Still absolutely diabolic umpiring.Nz batsmen had the opportunity to review it. They blew it. Dont blame the umps for it.

I've written above that it was clearly missing and that was before I saw a replay. I also made comment on how bad it was from NZ. It was an extremely poor decision from the umpire and then another by Latham and Young.They had more than enough time. They even had doubts to review it hence took their time. Easy to say on replay that it was a poor decision when live they even had doubts it could be overturned.

I really wish you could rate posts with one of those roll eye emojis at times like this.The Black Caps getting screwed by the umpires again, no surprises there, should have reviewed it though.
Karun Nair, look up his story.Shreyas is a thorn in our side once again, he would be the leading candidate for MOTM if India win.
Surely he couldn't be dropped after this performance, as a Black Caps supporter I would be delighted if he was dropped though.
Not sure what Somerville adds to this NZ side.
Do you understand how much cricketIndia deserve to lose this test for resting 5 first team players for a series against the top ranked side in the world and the reigning WTC champions. It is bordering on arrogance and I can't understand the decision at all. BCCI probably wanted to rest the players before the test tour of South Africa, a series that might not even happen given the outbreak of the new covid strain there. We might be in an embarrassing situation where we might be losing a test with the likes of Rohit, Pant, Bumrah, Shami, etc., sitting on their backsides and watching the series from their sofa, resting for a series that's probably not going to happen. Terrible short sightedness from the BCCI.
They're playing in India and you generally have to pick 2 front-line spinners. Problem is New Zealand is lacking in the spin department.Not sure what Somerville adds to this NZ side.

these players have played in the past few months. IPL followed by the T20WC, followed by this. Though I’m not happy with Kohli deciding to take the one game off. Should either have played both or none

They wouldn’t have had any idea about the new strain etc at the time of making that decision. That’s new information that is very easy now to point at in hindsight.
Regardless, I still feel we shouldn't be playing an under strength side vs a side like New Zealand in Test cricket. I can understand if the absences were forced through injuries like KL Rahul, but the rest of the players are simply being 'rested'. Could've easily played an all IPL side for the T20 series, resting the Test players.
Still an absolute howler of a decision .Nz batsmen had the opportunity to review it. They blew it. Dont blame the umps for it.

Just because NZ didnt review in time doesn't make it a good decision .
It was terrible decision making all round .
