Minor Asian Teams Thread (2024-2027)

Remarkable to see Indian batsmen struggling against spin on their own pitches. I guess smashing the ball around the park in the IPL on flat tracks isn't the best test preparation? Hopefully this result will make them re-evaluate their own priorities? More likely they'll just decide to play fewer tests and more T20s.

Big 3 won't stop playing Tests i dont think.

The problem with spinning wickets is it brings the "weaker" side into the contest. Here, Mitchell Santner was able to outbowl Jadeja and Ashwin. Full props, but he's not a better spinner than those two guys.

But take nothing away from NZ...they beat India on a seaming wicket, and then on a turning one too. And no team has ever won 3-0 in India in 90+ years of Indian Test cricket history. Truly an astonishing achievement.
