India tour of New Zealand - March 2009

[angryangy]

hah, took me 5-10 minutes to realise that NZ were actually playing Test cricket. A rare occurrence. Nice looking pitch.

Good catch by Dravid there. Juggled it a bit but got it in the end. India are looking dangerous with Zak and Ishant. Keep it up Lads

 

[deerkick]

2nd wicket gone!!! Zak on fire.

FREAKIN SEHWAG. Dropped catch.

 

[Ari]

Uh oh here we go again

 

[Leggie]

Zaheer looking Word Class yet again. Damn Viru, Ross Taylor dropped, that's a biggie

 

[deerkick]

Ishant is looking pretty good too. Hasn't dipped below 138 either. He's averaging around 140 too and maxing at 145. Pretty good pace for an Indian

 

[angryangy]

I think that's one of the strangest drops I've seen. You don't get much easier catches at gully and he still found a way to let it out of both his hands. Twice.

angryangy added 21 Minutes and 56 Seconds later...

That run out was pretty amazing as well. It really looks like there are more wickets out there right now, but if NZ get to lunch for the loss of only 2, they'll already be ordering the beers.

What a super bowlers , Z.Khan is awesome bowler he should got three wickets. Sehwag dropping catch is weirld i seen . i never seen it before

 

[SaiSrini]

Great start from India, but we need two more wickets in the first session to be right on top. We had a chance to get both the current guys out but we missed it. Hope it doesnt hurt us much.

3 down now,we need to get these two out soon.

 

[deerkick]

Jesus Ishant...

Same delivery that got Ponting out I believe?

 

[SaiSrini]

Bad decision by umpire, but India will not complain... Ishant has bowled absolutely brilliant so far along with the super duper Zaheer Khan. So Munaf's bad bowling is masked up big.

India are deadly here! ROCKING STUFF! 51/5

 

[Ari]

Terrible decision for Franklin he has been inform with the bat as well.

 

[Dare]

unlucky for Franklin but India are way on top here regardless. Good bowling from Sharma and Khan but India need a 3rd fast bowler really bad. Munaf doesn't cut it for me.

 

[deerkick]

Yeah horrible luck there. Commentators make a good point though. Why have referrals and use them selectively? A big score from Franklin could have turned this.
