India tour of New Zealand - Jan to Feb 2014

[Aalay]

Gents, Ishant is in and I am out.

Well done MSD. Ishant is useless, Jadeja is only there for restricting the batsmen - Zak and Shami have their task cut out then. I pity them

 

[SaiSrini]

Terrible from Dhoni! Clearly he has lost it. This stubborn-ness on Ishant Sharma is perplexing. I dont care about the rest, but when you have Yadav in the sidelines who has been successful in test cricket more so abroad, give him the damn chance!!!

 

[Aalay]

WTF is Dhawan doing in slips?

 

[Aalay]

Richard Kettleborough strikes

----------

Rahane, you tweaking beauty. What a gun fielder this fella is.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Ishant has 2 - whowuddathunk - fab catch by Sir

 

[Epic]

Ishant has more comebacks than Fernando Torres.

 

[KookyBubble1000]

Yes I would love to see Henry, Mills, McClenaghan (In the Whites) and Milne get a go if they were all at top fitness, I also reckon that Tom Latham, Daniel Flynn and James Franklin, They have all impressed me both Domestically and with the ones who have had the chance with the White Ball in the NZ colours.

 

[abhi_jacko]

you know you're bowling is sh8t when Ishant Sharma is the bowler of the day

 

[Ohm]

Don't blame Ishant. He is doing his best today.

 

[Aalay]

Yeh can't really blame Ishant and Shami because they have bowled well but our fielding has been absolutely pathetic after lunch. Zaheer and Jadeja has looked even worst. I really don't know where this team is going.

 

[NathanScott45]

Rutherford, Fulton, Williamson, Taylor, Anderson, Watling, Mcculum, Vettori, Southee, Bracewell/Wagner/Henry/McClenaghan/Mills, Boult.

^ Let's take that as a rough team, it looks more solid than England at this point. It's exciting times for NZ cricket, as they've certainly got a new wave of talent coming through (then again, it's entirely possible India's dire bowling is making me really rather optimistic about NZ's cricketing future!) xD

 

[grkrama]

unless jadu scores a triple hundred ,its hard to justify his place in the current formation

7Bat-1asp-3pace
you already have seven batsman including dhoni ,you cant expect to win a game with 3 bowlers,arent mishra,ojha better than jadeja purely as bowlers esp in tests.
jadeja is good if you are going for 6 batsman 1 allrounder combo,even then i would pick ashwin as the allrounder and get ojha or mishra in.
jadu as test batsman is still not good enough to warrant a place in the side.

What is the idea Dhoni is going with ,is he planning to just outplay NZ with Batting alone and draw the match

 

[Ohm]

NZ are looking healthy with current score. If they reach 400+ then match will result in a draw because neither their bowlers can stop Indians from scoring nor we can stop them.

 

[Biggs]

Looks like we're headed towards another win #BlackWash
