Wonder if Kohli had asked Pujara to increase his strike rate. Very unlike Pujara shot.

Lol

Why Pujara Why

[zen]

Captain P departs ... why did he play that shot (did he get some intent talk at tea) .... was looking good to play till tea tomorrow  

 

[retired_hurt]

Pant and Jadeja should throw bat at everything now. No point tuk tuking.

[Norman]

What a stupid fukkin brainless zombie shot was that ? 

[Adi_91]

All over. Definitely a collapse on the cards.

[Vilander]

Poor shot from pujara. Vihari and Pujara throw it away. Nothing shot a wide o off stump top edge. Nz slow bowlers get lucky wickets.

[Gollum]

Giving me vibes of Trent Bridge 2018, boys have showed gumption but man Vihari, WTF was that after batting so well?

 

Somehow get to 300-320 and I see us having real winning chances provided weather doesn't play spoilsport. I say this with complete confidence (being rational, not 'Bharat Sipahi' mode) despite the nature of NZ pitches in recent past, we will bat once again when it is at its finest and day 5 is tough for any batting unit irrespective of pitch cos mental battle and all that. Law of averages too have to catch up at some point of time, Bumrah-Shami will breathe

I'm betting on a >250 all out from here.

[jf1gp_1]

this track has nothing in it. we have thrown away this game. kiwis will likely take a huge lead. 

[zen]

Captain P guided us close to 200 but could have got us past 300

Kohli uses pujara as a scapegoat whenever he wants to deflect blame from himself and his buddies.

[Vickydev]

That wicket's on Virat as much as it's on Pujara. All that intent garbage made him play an unnatural shot. That's why Pujara is not leadership material either. He can't even stop Kohli from controlling his game much less handle other bloated egos.

[ssurenn]

Pant dropped

WTF pujari just did..  hah...  That is not his game.. He looks awkward doing that.

 

We lost two set batsmen too quickly.. Just when things were looking good.

 

It the effect of all this intent talk, the only batsman we have technically equipped to play swing is being screwed.

[maniac]

Pant not losing his grip in tests. He will be a huge success if he approaches LOIs like he approaches tests 

[Rightarmfast]

Catch players chhodhte hain, dard NZ commentator ko hota hai. Aisa lag raha hai ki catch nahi chhoota, iski bibi bhhag gayi hai!

TM must dole out punishment to anyone doing something stupid in first 10 or last 10 minutes of a session. 

Maybe force them to give Shastri foot massage or do the laundry for rest of the team. 

[retired_hurt]

Pant has to attack. No point defending here.
