History in the offing: NZ's Indian spinner Ajaz Patel has the first 8 wickets of the second Test, and should have 9 but for not reviewing an LBW.

9 for now.

 

[spook]

So close to 10 then

 

[spook]

10!!!

Good catch, imagine standing under that skier!

47.5 overs
12 maidens
10/119

 

[bigwow]

Patel now has 1/4 of his total test wickets in one innings.

No Kohli in the first Test, no Williamson in the second. And where's Pant?

Patel now has 1/4 of his total test wickets in one innings.

Not bad for a pie thrower

 

[Sintiger]

47.5 overs
12 maidens
10/119

In a strange twist he was born in Mumbai where the test is being played

47.5 overs
12 maidens
10/119

Kiwi's 5/34, he'll be having a hit in a minute.

 

[tigerman]

Kiwis all out for 62, India batting again 0-20.

Odds-on a day-nighter in Melbourne. Big crowds.

How's that disgraceful pitch in India, ball running along the ground. I don't care how rich they are, if you keep producing hometown tracks like that you are a pissant nation. Like England.

Another pretty average pitch delivered in India. The kiwis didn't cover themselves in glory but surely they should be able to produce something that's OK for batting in the first couple of days?

 

[23.21.159]

India bowled 28 overs, only 9 of which were delivered by quicks.
Precious people these Test cricketers. I hope it rains for three days.

Unlike Australia and every other country, the BCCI doesn't need the income generated by tickets sales and TV watchers to ensure a Test lasts five days. They just want to win.

They probably employ sHocking Singh to run the game

 

[bigwow]

Patel gets the first Indian 2nd innings wicket. Still the only Kiwi wicket taker in the match.

 

[bigwow]

Now 12 for Patel.

 

[23.21.159]

The record for the most wickets in a Test by a bowler who was his team's only wicket taker is 8 by Craig McDermott at Old Trafford in 1985. There was one run out.

His English cousin devised The Hundred, because T20 wasn't innovative enough. Their American cousin is the 7 Minute Abs dude from There's Something About Mary.

One of the greatest movie scenes of all time.

 

[MD Jazz]

Has Kohli been sanctioned for dissent after his 1st innings dismissal? Not a good look to not accept the umpires decision without question. And it was the 3rd umpire so no excuse to complain to the onfield ump. Terrible behaviour from a captain.
