It's a small sample size though and also includes a number of games between minor nations so it's certainly not definitive but I think it's at least close.

Thank you.

It means we get 16 less overs to score 20 less runs lol.

More like you get 20 less overs to score 55 fewer runs.

I'm pretty sure he speaks at least some, but it's probably his third language.

Every single Tamil person I meet in USA#1 learned Hindi in school, but they're all highly educated. I don't speak it, so it's not like I can judge, but they all claim to. It's a different sample, I guess.

Nevertheless I'd be surprised if Shankar wasn't at least functional in cricket Hindi.

I was reading something on that the other day and found it amusing that all the Asian languages don't have cricket terminology and just use the English instead

Similar to my lol when I asked Koreans what Korean was for “coffee”. It’s “coffee” because they had NFI what it was until introduced by the west

Lots of criticism heaped on NZ and it was frustrating but I’m not sure justified. Kane’s animation getting out was so unlike him. Is this pitch really difficult to time shots on or did they make it look worse by being inadequate.

We find out soon (assuming it plays true to yesterday which ofc it may not , pitch’s are an enigma)

After all the calls for Dhoni to retire, is this his opportunity to justify himself or go out with a whimper

I know I said that India should pick more seamers than spinners but of course NZ is the exception to this.

Quoting for evidence of knowing nothing about cricket and reading conditions

You know who are masters summing up conditions? Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor

This pitch has been tricky... 240 is defendable but I fear we still can lose from here... Neesham's catch was all time great and this is an amazing game so far

India can still win for sure esp with our second stringers taking the pressure off...

Immensely enjoying the crestfallen expression on my Indian colleague’s face. Almost makes up for not being able to watch the match.

Dhoni's record astounds me everytime I see it

10700 runs averaging over 50 striking at 88 over 350 matches as wicketkeeper all the while with a billion people on his shoulders

This is quite the amusing development that will surely be followed by Australia bowling us out for 125

All it takes is 2 guys to not get out for 5 overs and it gets scary again

This is going to be the perfect black flaps experience.

2 days, stay up late, get hopeful, and then the ultimate let down.
