New Zealand: Luke versus Guptil - ketchim - 09-18-2016 Warm Up : Luke made a Ton, Martin made DUCK dillinger , looks like you are correct  http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-new-zealand-2016-17/content/story/1057697.html Re: Cool hand Luke versus Guptil - ketchim - 09-18-2016 Guptill averages 29.59 in Tests, which drops to 20.68 in Asia. He may be sensational in limited-overs cricket, but Tests and spin have not been his best friends.... Re: New Zealand: Luke versus Guptil - ketchim - 09-18-2016 Who should NZ open with in Kanpur? Latham and Guptill  31.66%    1227 Latham and Ronchi  63.16%  2448 Some other pair  5.19%  201 Total votes: 3876 Re: New Zealand: Luke versus Guptil - ketchim - 09-19-2016 http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-new-zealand-2016-17/content/story/1057820.html The Kanpur pitch, for the first Test between India and New Zealand, is cracked and somewhat dry, but is expected to hold up well... Re: New Zealand: Luke versus Guptil - ketchim - 09-19-2016 Win toss, Bat : Pitch will be a rank turner after 2 days ! Re: New Zealand: Luke versus Guptil - dillinger10 - 09-25-2016 At this point in time, I feel sorry for the Kiwi fans. It seems both farcical and cruel to keep trotting Guptill out in Test matches. A brilliant limited over cricketer. Not a Test player. It has to be pretty demoralizing for Jeet Raval to be left back at home, and watch Guptill continue to fail over and over. Re: New Zealand: Luke versus Guptil - ketchim - 09-25-2016 that was a brilliant DUCK a la martini to a spinner ! Jeet should tRraval to India !  :-[ Re: New Zealand: Luke versus Guptil - dillinger10 - 09-25-2016 At the very minimum, I would bump Ronchi up to partner Latham at the top and have Nicholls replace Guptill. Nicholls is by all accounts a good player of spin. Of course, it's still not too late for one of the touring squad to come down with a bad case of Delhi belly and fly Raval out as a replacement. I read a few articles prior to the tour suggesting that NZ stuck with Guptill by default as they felt it would be unfair to put so much pressure on Raval to make his debut in the subcontinent. Rather interestingly, England have determined otherwise and have two uncapped openers in the touring squad for Bangladesh (and most likely India too).
