India v NZ

[Grenville]

The sheeprooters are in deep poop. Ross Taylor was just given not out to the plumbest lbw shout in the history of cricket.

Then runs himself out cos he didnt ground his bat.

Got ZERO sympathy at all for India if they get shafted with umpiring decisions.
Over the years they've received more dodgy decisions in their favour than against due to their cheating over the top tactics of appealing for everything and pressurizing the umpires.
Until the ICC have the balls to stand up to their cheating tactics and apply DRS to their games, Stuffem, hope they continually get shafted with shit decisions.

Current Test made 35 and currently 8* n.o.

Current ave 56.00

Compare that to Australias latest No. 5 Moses Henriques

Yeah they mustn't have much batting depth in their first class system. Williamson out is huge and hurts them badly.

When I saw he was being picked as a batsman I had a look at the 2015/2016 Plunkett Shield batting stats, there's guys making lots of runs but I can't make anymore of it, perhaps they wouldn't be up to scratch compared to Ronchi?

His modelling career has stalled in recent times.

I wonder if this has legs?

New Zealand are preparing for the third Test against India as scheduled despite a local media report the remainder of the tour has been cancelled by the Indian cricket board due to financial problems.

The Indian Express newspaper quoted an unnamed official from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as saying the board's bank accounts had been frozen after a recommendation by the Lodha Committee, a court-appointed panel set up to look into its operations.

"We have no option other than to call off the India-New Zealand series as our banks have decided to freeze BCCI accounts," the paper quoted the official as saying.

"We don't want India to be humiliated in front of the world.

"How can we function, how can we hold any games now? Who will make the payment? Freezing a bank account is no joke. An international team is here, and there is so much at stake."

India sealed the three-match test series 2-0 on Monday with a 178-run victory in Kolkata.

The third Test is scheduled to start in Indore on Saturday, with a five-match one-day international series to follow.

The BCCI has had a long-running battle with India's Supreme Court, which has demanded a raft of administrative and governance reforms for the world's richest cricket board.

The board, run by politicians and businessmen and criticised for a perceived lack of transparency, said after a general meeting on Saturday that it had adopted a number of "important recommendations" made by the Lodha Committee but rejected others out of hand.

Did you see, Jadeja was warned 4 times for running down the pitch in the 1st innings. Kiwis started with 5 penalty runs because of it. What a joke, if it was a bowler he's out of the attack, needs a change in this rule. Shouldnt have to but because of the cheating **** in India we need to.
Take 200 runs off the offending team

The Pakis are making easy work of it

The Pakis are making easy work of it

currently 2/435

Pitch is like an Day 2 Adelaide Oval Road from the 1980s.

Windies will never get another wicket as Shannon Gabriel is bowling No Ball after No Ball, some by up to 6 - 8 inches and Paul Reiffel isnt calling them

And after missing about 5 in a row, he finally calls one.

Tests like these are KILLING TEST CRICKET. About 50 people in the crowd. Windies bowlers are the equivalent of about SACA B Grade District cricket.
And thats probably being generous.
