*Official* New Zealand in India 2010

[Athlai]

Even if you take Bangladesh out?

Dunno maybe not.

excluding Bangers 2584 @ 39.15 since 03.

Just going to post that Scaly will finally be happy with his work. Probably didn't give him the expected reactions to his first couple of posts.

Jesus.

So Manan, are you predicting now that India will implode be all out for 370, is this how this anti-jinxing works?

 

[Athlai]

He is predicting India to score 500+ (probably) and India to fail to take the wickets. WAFG

His avatar is mine.

If NZ win a single test in this series I will run around Palmerston North butt naked with an Australian flag and a Green Party sticker on my backside.

You don't really need to take wickets against New Zealand though; their batsmen are dire enough to give them to you as long as you bowl something that vaguely resembles First Class standard deliveries.

Pics of said nudie run.

If the series isn't a whitewash (unless rain hits) then India need to take a good hard look at themselves. Or Australia. Or whatever.

Making SS crazy.

I reckon an attack of five Sehwags would bowl New Zealand out for under 350 more times than not.

 

[Athlai]

I'd take that bet. Reckon we'd probably get acclimitised to it eventually.

274, 282, 342, 357, 312, 389, 486, 502, 576, 92, 382, 412, 125

It'd be good times.

Yeah the only thing that could really get in my way would be if a Ryder/Taylor partnership developed. Once they got set against an attack of exactly the same bowler they'd be hard to dislodge.

 

[Flem274*]

Don't forget that average number seven Vettori.

 

[TT Boy]

Could have been worse, India could have closed on 400 for 1 with Sehwag 275 N/O.

Situation is perfect for Dhoni to get another insignificant test hundred.

 

[vcs]

Prior's better. Haddin and Dhoni are about equal with him. He's better than the rest IMO. Prassana Jayawardene, Kamran Akmal, Dinesh Ramdin and Mark Boucher are his competition - he's got it covered.

Prior isn't better IMO. Same level.

 

[Athlai]

Spot the Wellingtonian. Broom clearly>Parlane Stewart too for that matter.

Also, why do Souths only have ten men?

Guptill wouldn't make that North's eleven as well.

 

[Athlai]

Haha Souths had Broom in them batting ahead of Franklin, I must have copied and pasted from the XI I posted to you on MSN wrong.
