3rd Test: India v New Zealand @ Wankhede Stadium Oct 1-5, 2024

[TheParraboy]

Starts today

Does India make a bouncy deck , in preparation for Aussie tour ?

Probably not , go for a rank turner , play 3 spinners again. Hope to win to get WTC points

Love a 3-0 kiwi series win, Indias confidence at an all time low

If India lose 3-0 will Gambhir even get on the plane as Indian coach.

 

[TheParraboy]

Bumrah likely to be rested for Mumbai Test

It's not clear if the team management wanted to rest him or Bumrah himself wanted to be rested

If India lose 3-0 will Gambhir even get on the plane as Indian coach.

That would be a huge fall, and I dont think many would miss or feel sorry about it

Wouldnt be surprised he is sacked after this match , regardless of result tbh...

 

[Twizzle]

[King-Gutho94]

That last 10 mins india would love back.

What an implosion

Jaiswal reverse sweeps and gets clean bowled
Siraj comes in as night watchman and burns a review first ball plumb lbw

And kohli runs himself out all in the final 10 mins

From 78/1 to 86/4

 

[Fangs]

Good finish on here.

India 3-28 chasing 147.

 

[Fangs]

Now 4-28. Pant with a big job on his hands

29/5... am I dreaming?

Nightmare 11

 

[Fangs]

If NZ 3-0 Team India here then we really must 5-0 them this Summer in response.

Pant is very dangerous though. They need to keep him on strike as much as possible.

 

[JJ]

India still favourites here, I think - they bat deep, and just one innings...

3-0 would be a lesson though with these dire wickets, and even if they win, so what - if they have to have decks like this to beat us 1/3 without our best player

 

[Fangs]

NZ are spoiling Diwali for everyone.

With the amount of turn put one at long stop? Third time I've watched it fly past the keeper to the boundary. The total is too low to allow for cheap runs.

 

[TheParraboy]

Need to get Pant out very soon

29/5... am I dreaming?

When the match is being played at the WANKhede Stadium, you're most certainly not dreaming!

 

[undertaker]

Big wicket of Pant there.

Got a thrilling finish to a test match coming up here!

 

[undertaker]

Regardless of whether they win or lose, this has been an outstanding effort from Ajaz/Phillips for NZ.

Never thought I would live long enough to see the day that Indian batsmen struggled against spin bowling
