🏏India vs New Zealand, 1st Test: Bengalore,16 Oct- 20th Oct Day 4🏏 - Page 19

Probably rohit not have confidence to his seamer so he opted Batting instead bowling. Last 8 days steady rain at banglore but i think something not right, only Curator can explain to GG & RO.

Virat kohli , Rohit Sharma aur KL Rahul ko retirement leke young players ko chance dena chahiye...

Some don't play at least one practice match. Some Just land one day before the match and get photographed doing practice n the stadium.

But yesterday no one was patient I feel. Maybe they will do better n 2nd innings.

Pitch report, Day 3: "Sunshine and blue skies today. Surface now looks decent for batting. We said there was a lot of moisture but that has dried up. These cracks have opened up. Every spot the bowlers hit yesterday have created dents in the surface. That will mean it might move up and down a bit" reckon Simon Doull and Murali Karthik.

Little graphic just showed that the Indian seamers have actually got a lot more swing than New Zealand did. India have got 1.6 degrees while New Zealand got only 1

New Zealand 1st Innings

54.6 Siraj to Mitchell, OUT

Jaiswal has hurt his finger but he has taken the catch at gully. A loose shot from Mitchell, but Siraj will say he has earned it with some testing bowling this morning. Mitchell has been kept on a leash. He sees a hint of width here, and plays the back-foot punch. All he manages is a thick edge that settles with Jaiswal at gully. It might have swerved late as Jaiswal is in pain at being hit on the edge of the fingers
