Southee's definitely run his fingers over it, undercutting it almost. Definitely trying to get the ball to move away from the left hander.

He might not get a chance to score so big.There is an approximate progression of Tendulkar's first Innings scores in the last three tests
41, 98 and 214.
Tendulkar to score 400 in the first test against NZ.
There's 3 players who bat above him

So, no warm-up games? WTF, tbh.

Indian conditions won't be any worse than that of Bangladesh, so having no warm-up games shouldn't really be a concern for us.

I agree with SS. India will underestimate NZ. NZ will pull off a one win. I say 1-1 or 1-0 India.
India don't have bowling to go 3-0.

Not Terrible
NZ barely have a bowling attack, our batting revolves around Ross Taylor, a player who would still be considered a very junior member of the Indian batting lineup. Conditions will favour spin which NZ struggles against.
If India goes into this expecting anything less than 3-0 they are the direst number 1 team ever. Back your boys FFS, otherwise if we draw or dare I say it even manage to somehow win a match it won't be as sweet.

They had the bowling to pull off 2-0 against Australia.
Apart from Zaheer their quicks are dire (unless Sreesanth rediscovers form), but their spinners should account for most of our batsmen unless their names are Taylor, Ryder or Vettori (Williamson is good against spin, but it's his first series so I'm not going to put him in the certain runs basket).

The Wheel is Forever
The problem is India have a very annoying/great ability to play to their opposition. They stare down Australia in their prime and then go and lose to Zimbabwe. That's just how it works.
Seriously, 1-0 NZ.

If NZ win the series, I will go to my job in my pajamas.

Anyone remember this match, when Dion Nash ripped the Indian order to shreds in the first innings before the Indian batsmen got their own back? Insane difference in scorecards between innings.

They won't win the series. But they will run us close. It will be much closer than people think. And really our bowling attack isn't all that flash, Zaheer aside our attack is still pretty crap. I won't comment on the 2nd and 3rd test but if NZ don't score big in Ahemdabad then god help em, cuz Ahemdabad = Napier basically (the first 45 minutes of day 1 aside).

Listening to some cringeworthy talk from Mark Richardson on cricinfo atm. Knows nothing about the fast bowling stocks in the country obviously, because he's said we have no one who bowls over 140kph, and has an inability to distinguish between ODIs and tests.
Even Martin can hit 140kph. This is the same guy who was pumping for chucking in McClenaghan, Wagner et al shortly after they appeared on the scene because they bowl quick. Can't he remember his own words or something?
In saying that, I agree with his final verdict (we're screwed) and Morrison was unusually good.

Our top three can't play spin. There's only so many runs Taylor, Ryder and Vettori can score.

In other news, McCullum might be opening.
New Zealand in India: McCullum may open the batting for NZ | Cricket News | India v New Zealand | Cricinfo.com
And it might be for the best, because he's stated he just wants to launch. There is no way in hell I want him at number three if he wants to try and emulate Sehwag et al. Just asking to be 10/2.

Sooooooo he's not good enough to do it in one day cricket - all this talk he'll be pushed back down the order but he's good enough to do it at the test level?
Strange.
