NZ tour of India 2024 - 3 Tests

[ddrap14]

Deserves 3-0 hammering the way India played especially batted this whole series.

They look down and out and don't think so they will do any better down under.

Could well be 8-0 by the end of that tour.

The batting is in absolute shambles.

Might get a couple of fifties here and there and thats it.

My prediction is 3-2 Australia. You're underestimating how bad our batting is - Usman is elite, Head is very good, and the rest have all been VERY inconsistent to bad of late. Not to mention we're probably going to have either Sandpaper Man or Bad At Cricket Man opening the batting for us.

Devon Conway is an amazing outfielder

End of Test cricket is near! India whitewashed at home, BCCI will focus all energies on IPL and ODI.

Woke up. Checked Cricinfo and it was 121/7. It immediately flashes to 121/9. Turned on TNT Sports on my phone. First ball wicket.

Stunning win by New Zealand. Can't think of a better series win.

The 9th wicket partnership of 25+ runs is worth gold given the context

So this was indeed the difference.

Full marks to NZ for exposing India's known weakness, which surprisingly, isn't getting acknowledged by the think thank. Denial won't bury the truth.

I didn't think I would ever witness a whitewash at home but NZ had other plans. Congratulations to them for doing the unthinkable. Other teams will very well learn from this.

Come to think of it, our top and middle order has been performing exactly how the did in the last 2-4 years. The only difference is that our lower order (Ashwin/Jadeja/Axar and to some extent Sundar/Kuldeep) didn't bail us out like they did in earlier series (though Axar isn't to be blamed here. You can't score if you are not picked).

Goes to show how much of an impact the lower order runs were in the scheme of things. They were masking inefficiency of our top and middle order on a significant level.

Rohit Sharma must go as test captain and focus as a number 4 as a test batsman for the next 3 years

New Zealand whitewashing India with Santner and Ajaz Patel after losing in SL has to be the biggest upset in Test history

He wasn't even supposed to be playing! I wouldn't be surprised if he's left out of their next Test XI

I stop watching cricket for half a year and this sorcery is the outcome?

Ajaz has played 2/21 of his career matches in Mumbai and taken 30% of his career wickets there

I mean he still averages 30.03 from 19 Tests with a best of 89. There's not anyone else in the top 7 who easily makes way for him to stay

KL Rahul is a possibility to replace Safraz at number 6
