Ashes / Proteas vs India

[Enzedder]

A duck for Kohli. That'll do.

A Kohli tantrum is a thing of beauty. We should have one every test.

As for that effort from the Crappers - my teacher put it well; "Can do better"

Thank God Somerville can bat

[Gumboot]

Day 2 kicking off soon, with 98 overs scheduled...as if they'll bowl anywhere near that LOL

[Kiwias]

Patel gets Saha in his first over and has a five for. All five to fall,.

[Gumboot]

Patel gets Saha in his first over of the day, and also bags his five-for.

@Kiwias - snap!

[Gumboot]

And he bowls Ashwin first ball!

Ashwin wanted to review that

[Kiwias]

Then bowls Ashwin with this first ball, an absolute peach of a delivery.

@Gumboot: reverse snap!

How on earth do you review being clean bowled?

EDIT: he thought the appeal was for caught behind and only realised he had been bowled after calling for the review.

What a great start to the day!

[Kiwias]

From cricinfo:

This is the first time a spinner has taken all the first six wickets to fall in an India innings in Tests.

[Gumboot]

The runs have dried up.

Should we take the new ball?

[Enzedder]

Interesting morning - I think India have enough already though

[Gumboot]

Interesting morning - I think India have enough already though

Yeah, Patel and Southee aside, our attack's been lacking. And Somerville's not that sprightly in the field.

Can't help wondering if Wagner would've made a difference.

[Gumboot]

I've had Kathmandu Flu and Delhi Belly, but never been to Mumbai.

[Kiwias]

Had Delhi Belly and Bombay Bombs.

[Kiwias]

Patel now has 7, getting Agarwal in his first over after lunch for 150

[Kiwias]

Patel has bowled 276 deliveries, of which 222 have been dot balls.

[Kiwias]

And he now has 8 wickets on a review for lbw that was not given initially.

[Gumboot]

Stunning .

[Kiwias]

Kohli will probably declare so Patel does not get a chance at 10.

[Enzedder]

Come on you bloody little beauty

Good thing Somerville is bowling at the other end

And he now has 8 wickets on a review for lbw that was not given initially.

Can you confirm what you just said? All 8 wickets were not given initially, but for a review?

I was talking about the 8th wicket.

[Gumboot]

[Kiwias]

He now has 9 — no review on this one.

[Kiwias]

Let’s not underestimate Somerville’s contribution to Patel’s performance here.

[Insane_Homer]

cmon Ajaz

[Insane_Homer]

There it is 10!

[Enzedder]

You fucking little beauty.

[Ymx]

Yes 10! Legend

[Kiwias]

FANTASTIC!!!!!

[Gumboot]

Wow!

What a fantastic achievement!

[Enzedder]

Too many runs - do we care though?

[Ymx]

Patel 10 - 119
Rest 0 - 206

[Kiwias]

At least no Indian spinner will take 10 wickets in our innings

[Insane_Homer]

that always looked too high.

[Kiwias]

Oh dearie dearie me

[Insane_Homer]

this looks a better shout. all about where its pitching

pitched outside leg, phew! hat trick averted

[Certain Navigator]

The Indian quicks are certainly rubbing in how poor NZs were. Jameson was all over the place while Southee's low economy rate was because he hardly ever made the batsmen play. Excellent though he was, Patel was a bit lucky nobody else bowled well enough to get, or deserve, a wicket.

[Ymx]

Just fried some bacon and eggs and checked again.

For 3 already !!!
