demoralizing NZ (of course not by much)
negating the new ball with no loss of wicket
unbeaten partnership means a fresh shot for the pair
we should target a total of 300
if rajib clicks, and with mash in form, a 300 total should be very competitive for the green kiwis.
we should have a match on our hand, especially if the wicket deteriorats.
our goal should be to bat 2 sessions tomorrow.

righto asad bhai. agree with everything you said, only thing is that i would like to see us cross 400. but you are absolutely right, we need to bat 2-3 sessions comfortably (being in control) tomorrow! |
