Hahaha.

thats just standard Guido tanning?

MiniGB's winter cricket training is a right royal PITA to get to.

Vaughan's career is done then

Dare we dream?

All the coaching staff removed at Yorkshire:

Looking forward with some trepidation to Wednesday though.

can't wait.

my daughter has not been sleeping very well lately, so i feel like i have been training for this.

Got the week off from Wednesday, excited to watch it rain...

Kohli's lbw decision by the 3rd umpire was appalling, and goes to show that the human element of the DRS is deeply flawed. 5 minutes reviewing an obvious bat-pad SMDH

Some great memories of getting up at 2am are coming back reading this.

Strauss, Cook, Trott, Pietersen was quite a top four. Bell and Prior got plenty of runs and Bresnan suddenly looked like a world beater.

Now that’s something else. Bowling figures… Third ever.

Yeah great stuff from Ajaz. Not great from the batters though, wickets tumbling extremely quickly. Game could be over inside 3 days...
Also first time I've heard Indian commentators, they're so hilariously biased they make the Aussies sound reasonable!

Imagine taking all 10 wickets in an innings,
and,
losing the Test Match by an innings?

If anyone can do it, it's NZ.

Talk about getting rolled over

62 all out. Oof.

Reminds me of England at the beginning of the year.

losing the Test Match by an innings?

They'll do very well to do that having batted second.

Pretty easy if India had made them follow on

Ha, good point, although by the time I looked at the score India were already batting again and so my brain ignored that possibility.

was kinda hoping he'd smash a 40 ball century to further frustrate India

Gabba forecast looks a bit damp...

Can't be whitewashed if one (or ideally all) of the tests end in a draw / no-result.
