    @newsjunkie I believe the lack of tests was dictated by the BCCI.

    Home board controls scheduling, touring board only controls availability timeframe.

    If that was true we wouldn't have T20's starting at 8PM and ODI's starting at 3PM.

    @LABCAT

    First off, those are 'prime time' slots for sports on TV in most countries. Where I live, in Trumpistan, 8 pm is the golden slot for any sporting event. Highly sought after, and generate maximum TV revenue.

    Secondly, even if those times were somehow chosen for maximum Indian TV ratings, did you consider the possibility that it would be the TV and Ad companies that bid for the rights to broadcast the games in India that probably asked the NZ board to select such timings?

    The BCCI can be blamed for many things, but caring for their fans and using their clout for the same isn't one of them.

    But why ruin a good whinge on the evil BCCI with silly things such as facts.

    @LABCAT NZ Cricket's discussions probably also include negotiations with the Indian TV networks.

    Edit: Snap.

    Guppy has been awful since his big 100 in the first SL game.

    Our openers a concern....

    @Gunner Guppy deserved to be out twice in that innings...and he's coming off a (I think) golden duck in domestic T20.

    @Mokey What we've seen vs Sri Lanka - plus 62* and 0 in domestic T20.

    Not that much.

    Pretty disappointing, because he should have been jump started into good form.

    Two awful shots in his brief innings today - well, one was non-shot and the other was nowhere near playing the line of the ball.

    Can't have Kanos and Rosco "respecting" VijayShankar for a 1 run over like this damn it. This is 4d chess. Not fair. He shouldn't be anywhere near the Indian team.

    Latham and Nicholls both leave pretty cheaply - along with Rossco all three just chipping the spinners in the air.

    Might have to put this game down to experience! πŸ™‚
