***Official India in New Zealand***

[straw man]

FFS, Taylor gone and unlucky. Things not going our way.

And it's over.

The players shake hands and the trophy is being bought out to present to India.

New Zealand have thrown the game away. Why? Because they were batting second after the opposition posted a moderate total. **** them. **** them all. **** Jesse. **** Ross. **** them all.

Typical BS umpiring. Am furious - where is the referral system?

 

[Days of Grace]

There is one more reason why NZ are having a major fail here: because I am watching it.

Of course, when I go to work on a weekday, NZ score 600+

But when I actually take the time to watch it: major fail. **** you NZ.

 

[Pratters]

What a catch. Six gonnnnnne!

 

[Nutter]

Franklin: Not a number 6.

 

[Days of Grace]

New Zealand: not a test quality team. Records against them shouldn't count. **** 'em.

Vettori must almost want to give up. But, to be fair, Dan, we are batting in the 2nd innngs of the match. It was always gonna happen. And you knew it.

 

[biased indian]

we should finish them off below 200....where SS when we ned him the most. hope he does, they will score 200 + prediction, now

I see a career in drama ahead of you.

Franklin: Not a number 6.

I see him as being brought in at 6 to have a balance in the team line up. With batting upto Vettori who averages 40 in last 4 years, you have 2 batsmen - Franklin and Vettori trying to do the job of a number 6. Problem is, two not no. 6 players are unreliable compared to a no. 6 player.

McCullum to rage slog to a quick 100 and entertain everyone.

 

[Pratters]

And Vettori goes. A follow on looks possible here.

 

[biased indian]

southee will come in next rite ??

And Vettori goes. A follow on looks possible here.

i don't think we should enforce it whatever be the lead...

 

[Flem274*]

Hope Southee has some fun and scores at least 50.

 

[biased indian]

now we will have quick runs or quick wickets

any way should not make them follow on ..

 

[Pratters]

i don't think we should enforce it whatever be the lead...

I know that there is a lot of time left in the game but I would still enforce the follow on just to press home the advantage. The NZ top 3 are unreliable and a fall of early wickets can always mean another 300ish score. NZ are unlikely to make more than 400-425 any way.

 

[Days of Grace]

India to bat again and score at least 400. I will take up an avatar challenge on that.

i think we should press home any 1st innings advantage by batting the 3rd innings, building a substantial lead and taking nz out of any realistic chance of a win...then a 4th innings on a wearing pitch would be even more lethal especially because nz would definitely take a riskier approach by going for broke...if we let them bat again now and they bat well enough to build a deceptively small looking lead, it could be a tricky 4th innings chase for us...
