nitinbwj Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Forget wickets,Bumrah is leaking runs and bowling bad length
Gollum Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Should have kept Ashwin on, last few overs he looked threatening. Why would you take bad light with 2 new guys at the crease? And with us having put some pressure for the last 30 minutes or so.

adi B Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 2nd new ball is very important in deciding if the lead will be 120 or 220. I think nzl will score 350+ and shut down the door completely on us . India will skittle out for a low score again in the next dig
Gollum Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Amazing fight by us, kept chipping at them on a flat wicket. Restrict them to under 280 and then enjoy for 1.5 days when batting conditions will be like Rajkot. This is such a brilliant bowling attack, Bumrah wasn't clicking but the other 3 didn't allow NZ to run away with the game. #1 team for a reason , with all the luck in their favour NZ couldn't shut us out of the game . nitinbwj 1

ShoonyaSifar Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Enough turn and bounce on offer but Ashwin was content with darting at 90+ kmph and not giving much flight. Disappointing performance

ShoonyaSifar Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 4 minutes ago, Gollum said: I must have been watching a different match then. Of course you were. Couple of times Ashwin did beat the batsmen in flight and hit them on pads, it was umpires call on hitting the stumps and then DRS showed the ball turning and bouncing way too much. If only he had hit those lengths outside off consistently instead of being content bowling on the middle stump
Straight Drive Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 51 runs lead with 5 wickets left. Kiwis have to be massive favorites if they get 100 runs ahead before they are bowled out.

Consistently bowling outside off when turn isn't guaranteed is the surest way to bleed runs, not something we could afford with 165 on board.

Even a lead of 200 can be overcome in NZ, challenging but very much possible. Edited February 22, 2020 by Gollum

kubrickian Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 India still has 10 % chance because NZ are batting last. Have to bowl out NZ quickly and then need to bat really well to have any chance. Big challenge is to wrap up the tail which has been the weakest area especially in overseas conditions. nevada, Cricwala and Sgattick10 3
Gollum Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Last time on this ground NZ 192 ao (Ishant 6, Shami 4) Ind 438 NZ who batted on days 3 and 4 680/8 decl...302, 125, 137* individual scores Check other matches at this ground in last 5-6 years, always low 1st innings total followed by 500+ in 2nd innings. Get them out in 1st session tomorrow and it will be a miracle if we don't score 550 in 3rd innings. Edited February 22, 2020 by Gollum nevada and AuxiliA 2
