2nd Test - India v New Zealand at Pune, 24th-28th October 2024

[King-Gutho94]

Kiwis won the toss and batting first.

Santner in for Henry for the Kiwis

3 changes for India

Gill, Washington Sundar & Akash Deep in for Siraj, KL Rahul & Kuldeep Yadav

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Two spinners on after 10 overs.

I can't believe we just keep sending Latham out to bat vs India/Oz/Eng/SA in red ball. He averages 26.57 against those four nations. Matt Henry averages 21.71 against the same opposition.

Santner must have some quality photos of someone.

Thought this test was another couple of days away

Time flies

Kiwis 2/107

Conway 59, Ravi 8
These two need to take the score to well over 200

Santner must have some quality photos of someone.

Must be the same ones that Stoinis has

 

[TheParraboy]

3/143

Conway falls for 76

Ashwin all 3

 

[TheParraboy]

NZ 6/226

Almost identical scoreline by Poms in Pakistan, by 2 runs

 

[AlwaysGreen]

NZ 6/226

Almost identical scoreline by Poms in Pakistan, by 2 runs

And they finish on 259 (poms got 267)

Washington Sundar 7/59

 

[King-Gutho94]

Pitch is turning.

India probably been defensive here trying to get to stumps.

But looks a semi competitive score

 

[JJ]

I'm shocked they retained Southee over Henry, but I guess Southee is practically a spinner at times - pleas don't bowl O'Rourke into the ground!!!

Santner is strange, I guess it came down to whether they wanted a innocuous left arm orthodox, or an innocuous offie (Bracewell) - given Ravindra bowls as well as Santner, I'd have been tempted the other way - but Ravindra should not be overbowled given his value elsewhere...

Williamson missed, hopefully there for third, and hopefully Latham can continue to contribute by winning the toss

 

[King-Gutho94]

Santner bowls Kohli with a rank full toss

Virat should just cancel his plans to Australia and just retire

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Kholi has averaged below 30 every year since 2020 except 2023.

In 2023 he scored 2 centuries. They are the only centuries he's scored since 2019 in 56 innings.

He now averages 48.74

 

[AlwaysGreen]

India 5/85 still 174 behind.

Could the kiwis be headed towards a series victory?

Imagine if Tom Latham is a series winning captain in India.

Forever an immortal of NZ cricket

Imagine if Tom Latham is a series winning captain in India.

Forever an immortal of NZ cricket

With Santner and Phillips the destroyers.

 

[edabomb]

The gift that keeps giving.

 

[TheParraboy]

Dream 11 all out 156

 

[TheParraboy]

Kiwis lead by 103

Get many as they can with the new ball, sound plan

0/23 - 4 overs

 

[King-Gutho94]

How desperate are India going showing the scorecard that SOK them a new arsehole in 2017
