India tour of New Zealand - March 2009

I heard it's a batting track from Ravi Shastri other day? Is it true or he was talking about something else

I'm wondering when the match will end, 1 day...2 days.....3 days, nah, it can't go more than 3 days.

Why would that be?

Napier is the best batting track in the country (maybe Christchurch is close). It's going to be a belter.

It's one of the flattest pitches in the world. You're dreaming.

What?! Dhoni out? WTF...

On the contrary I think Karthik has been in pretty good batting nick.

 

[King Pietersen]

McIntosh is never going to make it at this level with his technique. I wasn't impressed first time I saw him, and Sharma's worked him out in an instance. There's zero foot movement and when he does move his feet he moves back. These Sharma deliveries should be half volleys but because of the awful footwork hes playing and missing. Sharma's bowling well, but not remotely impressed with McIntosh.

Soon after saying that he edges behind. Awful innings, as soon as Ishant got it right he was done for. Now to see How look good but fail, like a less pretty, worse version of Ian Bell. Not good.

cricketman must be over the moon KKD is in :happy:happy:happy:happy

Edit: and what a return for How, unless Flynn was injured a really stupid call by NZ selectors (insert facepalm smiley here)

 

[Ari]

Flynn is injured and there goes Guptill.........

 

[King Pietersen]

Told ya. How looked pretty but once again fails at Test level. What's happened to Taylors average as well? He must be in shocking form.

Ouch, 23/3, Guptill gone as well, Zaheer bowling with pace and aggression, really good to watch!

 

[sohum]

Damn, India on top after Dhoni out injured and New Zealand bat on a paradise.

Looking at Taylors figures they arent really that impressive. He only has 4 test 50s in 28 innings. Needs to improve.

 

[sohum]

Taylor is living dangerously. If we keep bowling straight we should get him soon.

KARTHIK's PLAYING!!!

Woohooohoohohoh!

Ton up, boy. Make 'em think twice to bring Dhoni back! Here's your chance!

 

[Ari]

Looks like we just had a "Ross Taylor moment", lucky not to be out.

KARTHIK's PLAYING!!!

Woohooohoohohoh!

Not gonna happen LOL. He will make around 20 odd and then out.

 

[Cricketman]

Oye, he'll prove you wrong. a 50 ball 300 is on the cards.:getyou
