India tour of New Zealand - March 2009

:hpraise Sachin!!! Sachin!!! Sachin!!! :hpraise

All those who say, let sachin retire.. he can't bat any more dominantly (especially @ Manee), take it & enjoy it! :cool: One dream which I have is, before retiring from all forms of the game, Sachin has to get those 50 centuries in both ODI and Tests :upray I think it's not too far.

Is this Sachin's first hundred on NZ soil? Anyone any idea?

Don't know whats up with mills, he's losing the plot in this series. This tail is hurting NZ bad.

 

[deerkick]

And our tail wags again. I would be so pissed if I was Vettori right now.

 

[aus_maestro]

That should have been a lead of around 190, not 240. Absolute filth from the NZ bowlers and fielders at the end.

 

[SaiSrini]

Entertaining batting from Zaheer. But absolutely bad stuff from NZ. But cant fault them as they seem not to have that thing to bowl India out.

2nd one. He hit on during 98/99 tour.

Mills is useless and shouldn't be near the test team he doesn't swing it much and just loses pace during the day. Franklin should be taking the new ball along with Martin.

Also Vettori's captaincy has been poor so far and his bowling not much better he has been way to defensive.

SO Dhoni was not out and somehow McIntosh IS and doesn't get referred. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! We're been hard done by yet again. All for India, nothing for NZ. How can you excuse that? Unbelievable.

Yea. Ian Gould just raised his finger straightaway. Poor umpiring there. Should have been referred to the 3rd umpire.

Well I liked ZAK's Innings

Why is Ishant Sharma so mediocre against against every country, barring Australia?

disgusting for what? : Are you seeing the match or following in cric info? After seeing n-replies from different also, it was so inconclusive whether the ball touched the ground or not.

Have you heard commentator saying, " Definitely the fielder would be clueless of it.. Well, not able to say whether ball touched it..Fingers might be beneath the ball or with ball changing its seam position it might have touched the ground. Still not able to say, would be interesting what third umpire would have given if referred! "

I don't see anything disgusting! You no need to excuse that and it's believable! :

He bowled well exceptionally well to me. I saw his bowling in last innings and this innings of first two overs from him. Nothing seemed to be wrong .. I don't get what you are saying. Because to me, Indian bowlers look always crap but these two Zaheer and Ishant looked nothing wrong to me.

 

[aussie_ben91]

If Ishant Sharma bowled the way that he bowls to Australia then he would be picking up figures of 5/20, 4/11, etc against New Zealand.

This proves Australia is the worst side. Understand Mr. Ben.

 

[SaiSrini]

Good end to the day for India. I thought it was so boring to see Guptill and Flynn bat that way but once Harbhajan got Guptill, Munaf got Mills off the last ball and suddenly it looks 75/3 with NZ needing 166 more runs to avoid an innings defeat.

AWESOME DAY FOR INDIA!!! Press for that innings defeat guys. Would be icing on the cake if we get that.
