so you actually want India to lose-is that it?.trying to clarify.

No. If India manage to draw this, I will respect them a lot more, because it'll be unlike what happened in the second test in SA, and it would mean they've progressed.

Incidentally, the scorecard for the third test is even more pathetic:

So excuse me if I'm not quite convinced by India's first win in NZ. They have a nasty habit of squandering the best of leads, not unlike England.

India's lack of winning overseas is down to a lot more than simply 'not having spine'. India have never been, in their entire Test history, been as good as they have been this past decade. That's true whether they win or lose this match.
I'm not one to be over-effusive in their praise, but the fact is for most of India's history, they did not even threaten to win a match overseas, let alone a series.

Indian cricket of this decade owes more to Ganguly than any other player. You realize that India won zero Tests outside the subcontinent from 1986-2000. Not a single Test match, let alone a series. Ganguly gets the biggest credit for turning that around, at least India started to be competitive - it required a complete turn around in the mindset of the Indian team. You should be happy about Ganguly's mindset.

Sorry, i can't get over how brilliantly ironic that avatar bet is. The gods of cricket would never let an SS prediction be correct, yet even they couldn't make Yuvraj any good in tests. Luckily a compromise was available.

Haha, five ****** runs. I couldn't believe it. And of course, Yuvraj with a duck.
I can't think of a player who has done less with more chances. Every FC batsman anywhere near the top of the run charts need to burn effigies.

McCullum defo. Guptill scores at a decent rate though, but yes, McIntosh would be a waste of time.

Yeah, but they'll definitely have to get through it if they want to draw the match. It's due in 40 overs and India should make 100 in that time if they survive, which would mean a 70 run lead just before tea. NZ can easily knock that off so India will have to make it at least a good way past tea.
