New Zealand Tour of India, November 2010/11

[-D-S-B-]

Having Bennett injured is quite annoying, I feel that him swinging it in to the right handers at pace would've caused a lot of problems for the Indian batsmen. Annoying because these conditions are screaming for pace bowlers. Hopefully Jeets keeps it tight because as well as staying in it's very important for the batsmen to score at a reasonable rate. Another wicket or two tonight would be brilliant.

Really thought Tendulkar would produce his magic along with Laxman. Raina has certainly been brought back down to earth after his debut innings. Still that Laxman is there and a knock here would really put him down as one of the best players for a collapse in Test cricket.

Wow.


I love Test cricket.


Dan Vettori is now NZ's best spinner, most reliable middle order batsman, captain, coach, selector and now opening bowler. What a guy.

He just needs to take the gloves between the overs and he's a true all-rounder.

Stick one of those miniature mics on his shirt during the match, and he can fill in as commentator to boot.

He'd be an extremely impartial umpire as well.

And I'm sure he can handle the menial task of keeping score in between deliveries.

Chris Martin bowling the best spell of fast bowling in India in the last year? Better than Dale Steyn's? I must still be drunk

It's like a Rush Of Blood To The Head. It was like he was bowling at the Speed of Sound. India look Lost. The key here is Don't Panic, and to rebuild the innings.

They keep asking themselves What If Death and All His Friends is bringing A Message that they're in Trouble and need some Parachutes to save them

It's looking a lot easier for the batsmen now. Bloody shouldve picked another seamer, Arnel could be a handful with a bit of variable bounce.

Just read this thread since I lasted looked. Theres quite a lot of silly looking posts now.

Simply brilliant from New Zealand. And this Kane Williamson looks like the middle order glue that could keep the team together in the future.

India's lead is only 83.

Our remaining batsmen are MSD and Laxman, which Bhajji and Zak who can give it a whack.


The pitch is turning and Jeets, Dan and Kane are bowling tightly.

You need to chillax


It would be awesome tho if India won from here. Test cricket at it's finest and would probably settle once and for all that India rightfully deserve their number 1 spot, as they've mastered the art of winning the un-winnable.

But, looking unlikely atm. There are going to be riots in India after this.

You're only playing New Zealand though. No offence to NZ.

Just when it looked impossible to take a wicket again as well.
