NZ batted well. 

Avg scores were not that high. Tail wagged.

Australian commies are discussing about how ENgland is struggling against left handers referring to Jaiswal, Jadeja, Pant, Sundar in the recent series.

England is a substandard bowling attack.

Their point is correct. Left handers are posing problems. First test Head . Now Carey albeit with luck

Kar lo bhai chase. Try o karo. Kya hogaya haar jaaoge toh

I think WI is playing percentage cricket. I see wehre they come from. After doing a monumental reard guard action giving it away in the end overs will be heart breaking. I can understand their intention to go for draw.

Aus Vs SA is the goat contest right now in test cricket. When is their next series?

[Gollum]

India should seek inspiration from what teams like BD, WI have done in NZ.

We don't seem to be bothered with cricketing legacy. We only have 5 test wins in NZ and only 1 in the 21 st century. Embarassing stats.Yet no one seems keen on rectifying it

Will be spicy. Someone like Bosch can be key.

[Forward Defence]

NZ with Jamieson and ORourke back is the third best test team now.

India England Pakistan are on an equal footing. If the two tier system was implemented now we would be second tier surely.

New ball

[vvvslaxman]

He doesn't even focus on 200. He may accidentally get there with inside edges. He is keen on defending it 

[vvvslaxman]

NZ is known for big scores in 4th innings. Astle. 222. There was one match Ganguly and Dravid batted pointlessly just to get centuries. Dravid ended up with twin centuries in that test. 

[Lord]

Surprisingly mature to go for the draw

[Forward Defence]

NZ are also not giving up. Some interesting field settings.

[vvvslaxman]

I love this over my dead body approach despite him contributing with ball. He didn't have to. But he did it any way.

[vvvslaxman]

Ravindra and Ajaz patel saw off 10 overs to earn a draw in India. This is far more cruel lol

yes pitch is flattest then. Kohli got a ton on last day too (Baz 300 game)

 

That's why I don't rate that Astle innings as high as others do.
