New Zealand in India: 3 x T20 and 2 Tests - Nov/Dec 2021

[Eelectrica]

Congrats to NZ for holding out for the draw. That's some effort given everything that occurred in the game.
Lol @ team India.

Indians: we would have won if Kohli played.

The rest of creation: f**k off dipshits.

 

[Rod]

I mean NZ was missing their best bowler and 2nd best batsman too, so there's that.

So all going well, NZ could have their first ever test series win in India after the next game? Just checked their series stats, and i could have missed something but a great chance to make some history

 

[JJ]

f**k yeah! Great performance that

Now bring back Wags

Regardless of what happens in the next test, we're a good test team - for all the talk about depleted India we had no Boult, Conway and Wagner (latter by choice), lost the toss, and let's just say the umpiring seemed to go one way... plus, in all seriousness no tests should ever be played in air quality like that

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Settle down JJ.

 

[hineyrulz]

They should go to a super over.

No levers and didn’t even get the Big Bash Booooooost point FFS!!!

Well done Kiwis, tough effort to hang on with a pitch doing plenty. Team India need to find some better Umps.

yep, we drew a series 1-1 in early 70s...

 

[TheParraboy]

Both India and NZ were brave..

 

[hineyrulz]

Stunning and Brave even.

311/7 Southee with 4...

re Jamieson, wtf do you mean "remarkable about his action or pace"? His action is fine, his pace good, he swings the ball, and is a giant - pretty clear he's a very good test bowler

Speaking in terms of the sterotypical fast bowler.. He is more Philander or Abbas than say a Bumrah, Hazlewood or Robarda. His biggest asset is he is 2m so gets abnormal bounce from a good length, is accurate and yes he swings the ball.. like most Kiwis. Be interested to see how he'd go on the harder bouncier Aussie decks.

Black Caps steal a draw. Well done cuzzies.

This is why Test cricket will never match T20....Who wants to see a dramatic, edge of your seat draw when you can watch a big-levered Bison belting below average bowlers all over Burswood Stadium on his way to a Big Bash Boost point?

​

probably similar pace to Hazelwood - he's really new as a bowler, and being a huge human always helps - his record won't stay this insanely good, but he does enough to trouble good players in all the conditions he's played in so far... I think the bounce will help him once he works out the right lengths - which he seems pretty astute about

 

[baggygreen man]

Haze is quicker. More McGrath's pace is Jamieson. I can see him causing problems on very bouncy decks at the Gabba and Perth Stadium. Actually we both have a 2m bowler. While your bloke is far more experienced at FC level our Cam Green is reinventing himself after two years out due to stress fractures. Yours is thriving in Test cricket while ours has struggled. Is yet to take a Test wicket. I'd like Cam to reduce his pace to better utilize his elevation and bowl clever like Jamo, if he wants to be a first change batting all rounder. If he stays at present pace and intensity he may cruel what promises to be a special Test batting career.

I trust the BCCI, I mean ICC, are considering these important issues as a priority

The Umpires obivously havent improved over there since 2001 then

I saw highlights the other day from that famous kolkata test in 2001 where india knocked off the aussies after following on and broke the 16 game winning streak

There was some of the worst of umpiring you will see. Harbajhan hatrick was a joke. Gilly absolutely smashed it

Some of the lbws given in the 2nd innings the umpire raised the finger the moment the ball hit the pads

2nd (and final) Test starts today from 3pm

Wagner playing JJ?
