Black Caps tour of India - 2026

Why waste a challenge on that? Hay was stone cold plumb

Gunner

That was a really shit 2 from 6 from Hay, and a terrible shot to get himself out.

Agree with what Doull said in the commentary that anything less than 340 is going to be tough to defend on this wicket.

Gunner

Now is a perfect time for Bracewell to show us his big hitting and for Foulkes to show why he’s got all rounder status.

Gunner

Dumb cricket from our middle/lower order

canefan

Bracewell not totally sucking right now

What a sick 6 by Clarke. Then he gets out with a poor shot

Gunner

Was about to praise Clarke for a great 6, but he becomes our 3rd to fall trying various versions of the scoop shot.

Gunner

Why are they not running?
Jamieson can bat!

canefan

Needs another boundary at least

canefan

Not the boundary I meant, but we'll take it. Brilliant salvage job by Young, Mitch and Phillips

Gunner

What a shit show of a last over was looking like… until the last 2 ball… 4 dots, 3 singles turned down.

337 after being 5/2, you grab with both hands, but I feel those last 7 overs were a let down after Mitch & Phillips’ great partnership.

@Gunner said in Black Caps tour of India - 2026:

Fuck, both set batters go within a few balls of each other. That’s happened a lot recently with the BC’s.
Could cost us 20-30 runs

Yeah sorry I had to pop out, seems I'm the anti-booboo.

Bones

A part time amateur would be embarrassed by that Hay.

Lucky escape

Anyone watching this? It could be something special…. I actually got up at 1am my time to put it on.

Bones

@Darren yep! India were going too well so I had to stop sorting the loft so we could get some more wickets.

Bones

Kohli and Harshit remonstrating with both umpires, lying that a ball was over head height. I thought that is extremely frowned upon in cricket? Or is India allowed to do it?

Bones

Guess it doesn't matter if kiwi bowlers are just gonna shit the bed.
