Threw some lunch money when Rohit's wicket fell. The odds were too juicy to ignore.
That is what happens when you have faith in your team. I am curious what you thought when India collapsed in the first innings. I guess the odds were juicer at that time. It's the end of day three, and India is well behind but lost three wickets so far. Now, day number four will turn the game more into one side. If India manages to bat the whole three sessions, then they may gather some good runs. Yet, I am pretty sure India is going to lose this match. But good luck with your bet. Nobody knows what New Zealand may do in their second innings.
Well, in the red ball cricket, they are a consistent performers (8-9 years), so they earned this faith. It's not a blind loyalty just because it's my home team.
This was my reaction after watching 2 overs of the Indian first inning but tbh I wasn't expecting such a collapse because India do have a long batting lineup, sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition. Yes, conditions were favoring seamers but Kiwis did bowl some outstanding spells. Overall I was too busy with the meltdown so didn't check the odds.
Ben choo why does it feel like they brought this pitch directly from England? I know it's overcast but the ball is swinging and seaming way too much. I don't see our openers to survive for long.
Tomorrow 1st hour of the first session will be crucial and if India manages to score 70-90 runs without losing a single wicket then it's a game on and pressure will be on New Zealand.
The priority should be avoiding an Inning defeat which was looking tough, considering the lead was massive but now it's in the range so that's a relief.
