so a test match is supposed to be 5 days of 90 overs = 450 overs

this one with the reserve day added is most likely going to be drawn at 320 overs.

Why can't you have 2 reserve days?

i wonder if there were discussions to add a second day a few days ago, it should have been possible

This game may just go down to the wire.

I've just watched the India second innings wickets.  Do they realise it's a Test and not a T20?

they punch above their weight big time. mainly because they make the best of what they have.

Wagner and Conway would probably have never made it here, and look at them now.

a)I do hope SA cricket can learn something from NZ getting their house in order and processes right.

b)I do hope that NZ don't just join the big 3 now

They sort of tried to defend and play for the draw. batted out 73 overs at RR of 2.3, the highlights will show some rash shots as IPL instinct kicked in.

surprisingly AB was a master at this, when required, dig in and who cares about the numbers

And no surprises that Kohli complains that the WTC should be played over 3 test matches. And that this loss means nothing to them - the f}%%*ing arrogance of this prick!

So getting to the WTC Final is not a hard grind. What does he want the WC final to be played best of 3 as well? F£& me… what a box.
