Movement gone. Trundlers operate. Bowling pathetically. Bazball is going to take full effect.

[cowboysfan]

i think this bazball is into all bowlers head.they are not used to batsmen really attacking them like this in first class cricket.

[cowboysfan]

not impressed by the kiwi bowling options.SL might have a shot next series.

[vvvslaxman]

Still it is pathetic to watch the speeds of NZ bowlers. They definitely miss Jamieson's height here.

[vvvslaxman]

Can't believe  we surrendered ourselves here with pathetic batting.  Jamieson was all over us

[vvvslaxman]

This tickner reminds me of that Pankaj guy who played for us in England

[vvvslaxman]

Getting real ugly for NZ. Inside 10 overs opener has his 50. Run rate 6.92

[vvvslaxman]

KL Rahul won't play like this even in T20 these days lol

[vvvslaxman]

We have this belief making T20 players allow us to play Bazball. These English cricketers have come through ranks in first class. They score quickly naturally.  Sarfraz is naturally a quick scorer

[vvvslaxman]

53 in 36 balls damn

Kohli mastered the art of chasing 5th stump 6th stump line tentatively. T hese guys are not messing around. Fully committed with each and every shot

[Stan AF]

Man, now I really miss the 90s and 00s.

 

Warne and McGrath used to kill these guys for fun and cackle like old school villains who just massacred an entire village.

 

Good times..

[vvvslaxman]

As it is this is a road. When you factor in the bowling quality one can expect carnage at the end of the day.

[vvvslaxman]

Wagner is utterly rubbish today. BOWLING noballs. way way outside the stumps. No accuracy at all.

[Gollum]

To those in India, where can we watch this?

[maniac]

Ben Duckett

 

where are the haters? @velu

[Lone Wolf]

Root reverse scooping Wagner...  Most talented batter of our generation.  Unbelievable range & quality. 

[Lone Wolf]

This is the perfect time to tour Kiwis for us...  They look very weak.  But sadly next test tour looks very far away.
