Same pitch that England got 823 but they dried it out to suit spinners
Big contrast India vs NZ - INDIA ALL OUT 46 !!!
by far their lowest ever score in India
Watching it Spinners not needed here as ball seaming and bouncing all over the place
In the Pakistan / England test in Multan note England only using 3 spinners
In the India / NZ test in Bangalore NZ only used 3 seamers ( this is a horror wicket )

Rick bowled first one time in England after his strike bowler rolled his ankle.

India having a nightmare of a day
Finally a straightforward nick waist high to 2nd slip ( KL Rahul ) who for some strange reason ducks out xof the way ?

Think you’ll find the overhead conditions have been more of a factor. Considering the fact NZ are currently 0/53

Watched most of it .Weak links Wareham with bat and ball and Darcie Brown useless
Surprise to see Mooney and McGrath struggle to find the rope
Phoebe Lichfield outstanding but batting too low .She easily found boundary but didn't even get to face 10 balls before 20 overs done .Perry started slow but finished well .
Sth Africa way too good . We missed Healy !
Anyway these things happen
Don't think Talia and Beth will chew up so many balls next time !

NZ 0/30 after 8 overs on the same diabolical pitch.

(Hope I haven't jinxed them)

Hard to explain
Maybe NZ heavy roller ,Sun comes out ,pitch dries out ,
NZ quicks bowled better ,India reverted to spin early
All in all Rohit you really stuffed up
Please do likewise 22 d Nov

They did last time they were here and still beat us.
NZ haven’t won that game yet, that pitch may flatten out and turn into a draw. But it was good to see India at home 46. 🤭🤣

Seeing India get rolled like that gives me some joy. Looks like NZ caught and bowled really well.

Let's hope India aren't getting all their bad form out of the way!

Excellent bowling from NZ followed by positive intent with the bat - 3/180 in 50 overs.

Hope they put on 350+ and win by an innings.

Hard to believe how 2nd rate India look in field day 2 ( actually day 3 )
After getting 4-43 first hour second hour 0-122 ( Southee no9 gets 50 odd)
Ravi Ashwin really poor bowling .Kuldeep not much better .Jadeja ok
ROHIT Captaincy bizarre brings quicks back after 80 overs but still old ball
NZ blocks ball Rohit shies at stumps and ball goes to boundary
India looking terrible Batting ,Bowling ,Fielding and Captaincy

I'm seriously wondering if some of India's stars are
" past their use by date "
Actually hope they get back to form for the 5 tests in OZ
Want it to be entertaining .
At the moment only Bumrah and Jadeja and Pant are ok
The rest are rubbish !!!

One juicy bit of news England 6-113 needing another 184 with 4 wickets remaining
Stokes is still at crease ? NAH ! couldn't do another miracle here ?
Not gunna do their WTC points table much good ! Sorry Baz !

 

[Stevec]

Congrats Pakistan beat England by 152 runs
All their wickets to their 2 spinners
Their first win at home for 3 years and first win anywhere in 13 months
Congrats to "Dizzy " Gillespie the Pakistan coach
Series 1-1 with final test at Rawalpindi .
Ps when we toured Pakistan we won series 1-0 with 2 draws and 1 win

 

[Stevec]

Cricket is now unpredictable
Aussie Women odds on to win T20 world cup semi BUT Lost !
The mighty India odds on to beat NZ BUT probably lose !
The ridiculed Pakistan to lose to the Bazball England BUT they Won !
From what I've seen we should win back Border /Gavaskar trophy comfortably
Maybe 5-0 if weather permits

Sajid Khan and Noman Ali took all 20 England wickets in this Test.
(It's just the seventh time that two bowlers have taken every wicket in a match and the first time since 1972.)
