While I am impressed with how well India are playing - (why can their new opener score 170+ when Aust's new one can only score 10?) - I'm irrationally annoyed at just how crap aust has been this test.

Absolutely pathetic and if this was a game of hockey, or ricky stuart was the coach, we'd be getting an apology after india win tomorrow.

1 wicket to go

130 overs to survive...

can Aust do it?????

lulz

 

[globaleagle]

Nope.

Looks like we need to get some of those NZ youngsters over!

Nope.

there really does need to be an investigation

King Kohli

Unbelievably gutless effort from Khawaja to send the debutant down to face the first over from Bumrah

Khawaja talks the big game and gives his critique on players coming into the test team. May I suggest he just concentrates on his own faltering game for a while, that's if he gets picked.

NZ v Eng is on atm.

Will NZ continue their good form?

Only @Kiwi Eagle knows!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Kiwis been scoring pretty fast in both innings but England's run rate was ridiculous, nearly 5 an over.

 

[globaleagle]

3-71, NZ second innings.

they have work to do!

 

[globaleagle]

Eng win.

Seeing as Ben Stokes was born in NZ, maybe they can get him to swap sides for this series?

Went as I expected tbh, that series win in India just papered over the cracks in the side.

The batsman can’t go big anymore, in the Top 6, only 2 guys have 100s this year. 4 of the top 6 are up over 25-30 innings since their last. They are poorly managed with none of them outside of Williamson playing the final round of first class cricket before the series. Mickey Mouse T20 cricket has killed Conways technique. There is absolutely bugger all young guys coming through as well so some lean years coming after Williamson retires

8 dropped catches is not how they used to field either, and they turned out to be vital. The keeper is terrible and can no longer score runs either

I enjoy watching England play cricket, weird having both their captain and coach as kiwis though

If NZ are that bad, then India must be terrible.
Which means Australia ... uh oh!

If you wanna see some 100% full on , nitrous hyperbolic headlines -

Go check out the ones regarding Binga (Brett Lee) bowling and a bail hits mark howard in the noggin.

"commentator hospitalised - impaled in head"

"....horror facial injury...."

Guy walked to hospital, got 2 stitches then went back to work.

sheesh

 

[globaleagle]

Surely aust will win this one and tie the series up??

 

[globaleagle]

ka-thumpo

series tied.

couple of demerit points allocated

a 20% match fee fine

A beer snake man running behind the sight screen (then getting kicked out)

Most boxes ticked in this one. 🙂

When India bat I get the feeling they could be all out for 50 or 500 (or even declare at 3 for 500). All look pretty talented. Aussies will need our regular barnacles to break their spirit a little.
