New Zealand Tour of India, November 2010/11

Ryder opening the day with the new ball is fail. McCullum should bowl

 

[Iridium]

I wouldn't be surprised to see the entire team have a hand at bowling.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the entire team have a hand at bowling.

Isn't there like a Facebook campaign or something to have McCullum bowl? This would be the best opportunity really. Boucher and Dhoni both have test wickets. I don't see why McCullum can't.

^ His best chance will be to bowl to Pakistan when we tour there

 

[Chewie]

Well if none of our main bowlers can take wickets here, McCullum may as well bowl. When we play Pakistan we'll actually be able to get them out.

 

[Meet]

India gonna bat throughout the day, I feel

 

[relentless_rock]

I can understand Dravid trying to get amongst runs and taking his time but Sachin and Laxman are bit too defensive for my liking. Ryder is getting way too much respect for his gentle medium bowling.
And awful running between the wickets.

LOL Jeetan gets Tendulkar out. Hopefully despite this he still gets dropped for the next match

 

[SciD]

Now we know why Patel was in the side.

He'll never be dropped now! I think we are now seeing how important Sehwag is for setting up the win through his quick scoring, take him out and India would be getting a heck of a lot more draws. India's scoring rate was dam slow this morning and as we saw with those quick wickets, they have gone no where since Sehwag's wicket really.

This is some real good stuff from the boys this morning. Hopefully we can clean up the tail pretty quickly.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Laxman gone

This is really getting bad now for India. 450 still on cards

 

[angryangy]

lol now they're through to the tail. Maybe the pitch hasn't been the most rewarding for strokes, but you can't say there's much motivation for India to work through it. They probably feel like they've already got enough.

 

[mohit_dude10]

More than the pitch i think its Vettori's bowling & field placing that has resulted in wickets. he was not giving easy runs which built up the pressure. If India can get close to 500 it will be good enough to not bat again as the pitch has also started to turn a lot so good signs for ojha and bhajji.

 

[Chewie]

This really puts Sehwag's innings into perspective. But why of all people did they have to get out to Patel
