[JohnDoe]

Ordinary start from Southee & Boult.

 

[shiznit]

Good to see Southee shit the bed again

gonna need a big one from the big guy Jaemo

 

[JohnDoe]

CDG should've played the 2nd test against England to get some match practice in, bowling to many loose deliveres.

 

[JohnDoe]

Finally Jamieson, good grab from Sothee too. Time to get a couple more before the lunch break.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Rohit Sharma averages 79 @ home, 27 away.

Makes @JJ Mate Davey Warner look like an all conditions weapon.

 

[JohnDoe]

Sangakara may have been a great batsman, but he has an awful voice for commentary.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Tigers should be speaking to Pujaras manager about next season. Could really stiffen up their defence

 

[jargan83]

India 3/134 as players go off for bad light again

 

[jargan83]

DeGrandlevers rocking some luscious mullet action during the break in play

 

[JJ]

Rohit Sharma averages 79 @ home, 27 away.

Makes @JJ Mate Davey Warner look like an all conditions weapon.

It’s the all world opening partnership that one, Davey and Rohit

good cricket on day 1, we needed more inroads though

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Pretty good from India to be 3/150 odd. Very challenging conditions, Kohli looks dialed in for a big one

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Instead of a one-off test final in the country it’s most likely to frigging rain..

They should have a best of 7 series, a test played in all tier-one test playing nations…

India
Australia
New Zealand
South Africa
West Indies
Sri Lanka
England

And a tie-breaker in Pakistan if required (yes, play here…).

That’s a true test in all conditions around the world…

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Best of 57 test series played on every type of pitch, turf, synthetic, concrete, rolled dirt, ice in 57 different countries where the song Dreadlock Holiday was in the top ten charts. 11 day tests, with 5 power surges and 7 x factors. If it rains distribute ponchos

 

[Mr Spock!]

A one off test in England is a waste of time.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

India 5/157, kiwis all over them like a kiwi on whatever the hell a kiwi eats.

 

[JohnDoe]

Why not have an extended session in the morning when you know the light is likely to be better, than in the afternoon sessions, when they are likely to go off early again like yesterday because of bad light.

Sometimes cricket is just dumb.

 

[simmo1]

Kohli failing in a big game again.
