New Zealand Tour of India, November 2010/11

Tbh we may aswell let them bat the day out, absolutely hopeless - making Harbajan look like an all rounder.

Bloody Harbhajan ruining it for us again!! We need someone to rip in some fast yorkers at his toes. Hopefully Martin can get him.

 

[Sahil 7]

harbhajan coming near to his century i hope sreesanth just hang in there just don't try something silly till harbhajan gets to his century

 

[aus_maestro]

Well that was some piss poor captaincy and bowling towards the end by Dan, pretty much let Harbajan dictate matters. I guess to top things off our batting tomorrow will return to its dire norm. Need to somehow draw this from here.

 

[Gurjot95]

Again Excellent batting by Harbhajan. Time for another century in consecutive innings?

Bad captaincy by Vettori towards the end. 7 fielders saving the boundary, when was the last time we saw this in Test match?

I guess he was in 2 minds ( i think anyway). Stay on the boundary and try to give him 1 or bring fielders in and make him play over the top

It was part poor captaincy, but also poor bowling at the end then. I don't understand why the pace bowlers were bowling bouncers at Sreesanth. They should just aim for the stumps. Harbhajan is happy swinging away and none of the bowlers looked like they were going to get him out so we should have targeted Sreesanth much more than we did.

We got into a good position with them only 20 or so runs ahead with 9 runs down but this last wicket partnership has really killed us and our spirit. It will be very disheartening for the black caps to see that the same pair that tormented them today is still out there tomorrow.

I can't see us winning the test match now, these two have built up too big a lead. We just need to bat out the whole do the fourth day and some of the fifth day and see what the pitch is doing then. With Sehwag, no score is too big to chase on the last day so we need to make sure of a draw if we get a chance to declare.

And I have to say, this test series has been much more exciting than I had thought it would be. I felt it would be all one-way traffic before it began but it has been a very even contest.

Also - Harbhajan should open with Sehwag

 

[AkshayS]

I change my opinion, this series starts to look fun as soon as Bhajji the turbanator starts batting.

This series is surely can be called his series till now.

Runs: 2nd only to Sehwag by 1 run, will surely move to 1 tomorrow. 269 runs @ 134

Wickets: 5 wkts @ 37.6 and is 6th on the list.

Awesome.

 

[Chewie]

Harbhajan is so tweaking annoying. I think most of New Zealand hate him at this point in time.

 

[AkshayS]

Harbhajan is so flinging annoying. I think most of New Zealand hate him at this point in time.

Surely, he may end up with most runs and most wickets in the series. And for sure, this is gonna be his second MOTM if Sehwag-McIntosh fails in second innings which is likely to happen.

 

[SciD]

India has Sehwag to deflate oppositions morale and Bhajji to annoy them.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

Oh what Pakistan wouldn't do to have Bhaji in their top order now lol

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Harbhajan Singh again

He batted beautifully to get India back on track. 100 run lead and some early wickets like they got and we would be in awesome condition.

Also, 2 days left so that is an advantage

 

[0601731]

Bhajji definitely deservesa promotion in the batting order, he should bat above Dhoni on current form.

 

[shravi]

Good batting from Bhajji. His batting has really improved over the years. Shame his bowling has gone down the drain...
