Cricket: International Discussion Thread

It's gonna take an exchange of leather jackets to get a result.

If the sun appears they should have a 20-over game to decide on the winner, or will that also be too much to ask of the weather? Or a super over?

 

[Agent_Smith]

Doesn't look like NZ are really pushing the issue here.

 

[RunningFromFat]

Wow NZ will be lucky to get to any lead at all now but you have to imagine batting will be difficult for India as well.

Depends if it rains tomorrow ... it's a 6 day test.

Damn there's some noisy tosspot in the stands. I'd have told him to stfu by now if he was screaming in my ear like that...

Commentators talked about it now.

The last timeless Test was the Fifth Test between England and South Africa at Durban in 1939, which was abandoned as a draw after nine days of play spread over twelve days, otherwise the England team would have missed the boat for home.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Good session for New Zealand but they will have to snag early wickets after lunch otherwise this could get away from them quickly.

 

[Creag]

I know it's too early to get excited, but with a lead of 120, 4 wickets in the bank , and 60+ overs left today, ah well. Dreams are made of this

 

[3WA]

NZ gonna do it! Get on the Kane Train!!! Choo choo!

 

[Creag]

 

[Dan C]

* Edit .. all out

NZ need 139 runs. 50+ overs to it.

 

[Creag]
