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

[JJ]

Dunno, you’d think he’d offer more than Somerville no matter what the conditions are

be interesting to see who the Indians leave out for Kohli

 

[Bazal]

On form you'd think Rahane gets the bullet

 

[JohnDoe]

Rahane, Jadeja and Sharma ruled out. Guess the neck injury to Saha wasn't too bad then looks like he'll be playing. No way should they be able to replace him then if he's going in with a pre-existing injury.

Simon Doull speculating that Williamson might not play.

 

[JJ]

Wow that sucks... and with no Conway we're really under manned there...

 

[JJ]

Surprisingly India win toss and bat, Mitchell in for Williamson the only change

India have Rahanr, Jadeja and Ishant out

 

[Meth]

A crap toss to lose. We'll be up against it again now.

 

[hineyrulz]

Could be plenty of hurtin in the sheds coming up for the Plucky NZers.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

There are suggestions Kane Williamson will miss a fair bit of the summer.

 

[TheParraboy]

Play just started due to rain, damp outfield

India decided to bat

Jamieson 1 over 0/12

Wagner not playing

The great Kane is out

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Williamson's injury sounds similar to what Tendulkar and Ponting had in their careers, a tendinitis type thing.

Very painful and hard to treat.

 

[JJ]

Missing the IPL would work for us, but his NZ is peanuts compared to what others of his calibre make

We’re used to hurtin….

 

[JJ]

If the spinners do nothing again omitting the workhorse pace bowler is going to look triple stupid

might see Mitchell’s net offerings

 

[Bazal]

As much as I love that the Rat is out that is an awful on field decision.

Poor third umpire having to uphold that also.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol Poor Kholi.

such a shame.

 

[Bazal]

Lol Poor Kholi.

such a shame.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The Shrubman sure likes getting out after getting a start.

Stunning and brave

we’ve had more than our share go against us in many places… “could have been anything “. We’ll take it

Oh I'm always happy to see Virat get the rough end of the pineapple but one of the (clearly torn) Indian commentators was saying how it was an amazing decision because the umpire "clearly" saw the ball hit pad first and there is just absolutely no way that's true lol.

The bloke missed the massive inside edge completely and got lucky with the referral.

Although given some of the fans they showed, maybe he got unlucky...

Was it that clear? Haven’t seen it yet

regardless, some umpiring careers likely over…
