***Official India in New Zealand***

[_Ed_]

Bit lucky to get away with that one...if it carried.

 

[biased indian]

hmmmmmmmmmmm...and now this

Patel took a 5-fer on the first day of a match in Wellington. Thats pretty immense IMO.

 

[alternative]

India just waiting for McCulum to ton up imo.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

He hit it, but it didn't carry.

Edit: Or maybe not.....

 

[Jono]

This is annoying now.

 

[straw man]

Would have been nice if the umpiring decisions could have gone NZ's way earlier when it actually mattered

 

[_Ed_]

It's great to see McCullum play so well, hope he takes this form to Napier.

 

[duffer]

Would be really nice having Mishy in the team so we have someone who consistently takes it away from the batsmen.

 

[Athlai]

Wish McCullum played like this every time he came out to bat in Tests.

We should just always tell him we're 7 wickets down and 500 runs behind.

 

[duffer]

Can't see straight darts getting a good batsman out. Really flat all around here from us.

It would have to be an elaborate plan, everyone would have to be in on it, including the scoreboard staff and umpires.

I had thought that after watching him in the T20s and ODIs he was working on being more responsible, but why that hasn't translated to tests is beyond me.

Yuvraj Singh - Almost as many pies as Jesse comes out of the bakery with.

In to the 80s he goes. But it's the 90s where he always gets out, isn't it? I remember a 99, a 97, a 95...

My elaborate plan involves a cupboard a black bag and masking tape.

 

[duffer]

Not convinced but I'll take it. McCullum to tee off now.

 

[_Ed_]

That evens it out, I think. Don't think he touched that one.

Nice innings though from O'Brien. Did all that was asked of him and then some.

 

[Jono]

Shall be an entertaining last partnership one way or another

 

[biased indian]

hmm as i was about to leave gets one

Well done Martin.
