Negative cricket from India here.
Why send out Pujara when you have Pant or Kohli who can bat with Sharma and potentially set up a lead?
No shot offered from Rohit and he's gone, great bowling from Southee.
If NZ can get Kohli or Pujara before stumps they will be right in the box seat.
Don't ask me why this works but if you watch it on the Fox Cricket live channel that's about half way down the Kayo home screen as opposed to the specific World Test Championship event it seems to stop the buffering. Works for footy too.You know what else is bloody annoying?
Kayo buffering. Endlessly. The number of times I've had to fast forward 15 to get it back to live in the past hour is hideous.
I don't agree with that. I would have been happy with more reserve days to ensure 450 overs were bowled but not timeless.We all agree with that.. but this is the ICC.. so it aint gonna happen.
Some movement at the station overnite with match now in an intriguing position which may finish with some excitement for the fans. My money is still on the Black Caps.
As it is only 221 overs have been bowled, so if we were doing that, we'd still have minimum another two and a half days left. Would have loved to see it but alas.I don't agree with that. I would have been happy with more reserve days to ensure 450 overs were bowled but not timeless.
These kiwis keep saying they're the nice guys of cricket but some of their bowlers do love an in the face celebration don't they..
There isn't a circle jerk about what Nice Guys™ the Indian team is though.Besides, Ishant has been sending batsmen off for as long as I can remember!
This is a big double standard on my part and I accept that but I think fast bowlers should be given a little more wriggle room to be dick heads
Ishant also cops it a lot for doing that.Besides, Ishant has been sending batsmen off for as long as I can remember!

I suppose it goes back to the point you made about the sandpaper incident PhatBoy in that if you're going to act as if you hold yourself to a higher standard than when you transgress you are going to cop more.
When we look at Southee he actually has a fairly long rap sheet over an extended period of time in relation to sledging, send-offs, throwing the ball at batsman, blowing up at umpires etc but it doesn't fit the NZ = good, Aus, Ind, Eng = bad narrative that the cricket community has built so it seems to be ignored.
That's not even a dig at Southee really, whatever gets him to perform at his best and as I've said previously I've always really liked him it's more of a "hey, don't you guys say you never do that?".
It might have been updated, but it now says Taylor suggested a 150 over limit. Either way, I think limiting the overs per innings isn't the way to go. And Chappell's suggestions are ridiculous, but that's his bag, so whatever.I like some of the points thrown around in this article.
Mark Taylor suggests that the timeless Test format should be considered for the WTC final, with a cap of 120 overs per innings for each team.
Ian Chappell suggests the tournament should have both semis as well as the final. Also believes that an 8-team round robin format could see a completed tournament take place in just 65 days.
This is actually a very smart solution to the problem. Unfortunately, as we all know, the main part of the problem lies with the TV broadcasters.Just make it whatever the most overs in a 5 day test should be (450, right?) and then play until 450 overs have been completed. Easy.
