Pause Of A Beautiful Journey For Me ... India win the series 3-2

[RPHKR]

14 runs? You think it's a T20 game? No!

 

[Ahmad Shah]

We can win this,otherwise we can just draw this...

 

[Fenil]

Like what Ahmad posted, its NZ win or a draw. Anyhow, the result will not be in our favor and thus, we lose the series.

Well wish I could be in such sublime form in real life too ;(

Anyways we cannot lose hence we take the series 2-1 with one to play... Hope we draw atleast the next one to life the transtasman

 

[Dipak]

Draw on th cards I guess, anyways just hope that we scor the fourteen runs required ao that we can lift the TTT and play without pressure in the fifth test

 

[Till Valhalla]

common honey you can do it

 

[Near]

I still don't get why we declared like that lol. Hopefully we'll be able to draw this and then win the next match

 

[venkniralac]

come on guys do it

 

[Prats]

Our bowling has been a total disappointment. Actually my decision to declare was a stupid thought but now the situation is out of our hands. But must say that this has turned out to be a thrilling game.

I think they'll have it.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Well, preparing a solid update for the thrilling end. Should be up by tomorrow

 

[Fenil]

Well, preparing a solid update for the thrilling end. Should be up by tomorrow

I can see a loss here. 5 wickets in 6 balls from Honey looks highly unlikely to say the least.

Final Over Of The Day's Play

Ball One

135.6 kph, a half-volley follows, and Gaurav drives it through the vacant cover region

Ball Two

Length ball outside off, punched away for one

Ball Three

Four!!! What a shot by the captain, straight hit and no stopping it!! New Zealand just need 5 to win from 3 balls. Easy now!! Test Cricket at its best

Ball Four

Sensible from captain, Single is what they get and they need 4 of the last 2 balls

Ball Five
No Run,thats a great field by Prathamesh, he has certainly fielded that with brilliancy, if it would have not been saved it was Four of the cover for sure.

Ball Six

What a delivery, 4 was needed of the last bowl and Gaurav tried to play cheeky shot resulting in no man's land and its a DRAW!! What a match we have had!!

[RPHKR]

Expected result.

 

[Prats]

Oh, a draw. I thought NZ would win.

Bad series really for we, Aussies. Disappointment.

 

[Fenil]

A draw as expected. One more game left right? So, we have a chance to level the series.
