*Official* New Zealand in India 2010

So about that avatar bet.


NZ to have a 100+ run first innings lead.

Lol no. We're going to loft drives straight to men inside the circle.

just watching the highlights there of the patel lbw - well up Hopkins - a brownie point in my book.

As Cricinfo says, this should put the strike rate of Dravid, Sachin and Laxman in perspective. It's not easy to get runs out there mofos!

Hmm. That should also put Sehwag's innings in perspective. I hope!

Dhoni is the most overated sportsperson of all time.

Why? who the hell is saying he's a good test batsman?

Ya.....After all what he had done for Indian Cricket ya he is surely over-rated...

Come on now. How many runs has Dhoni scored in Ashes? Or won any Ashes as captain?

What has he done for Indian cricket? Just a T20 WC win and it wouldn't have been as appreciated as it was if it did not come against Pakistan in the final. Just reaping the rewards of Ganguly's hard work with the side. He could very well go on to do something greater but he hasn't done anything exceptional yet.

On Cloud 9 everyone can gagf

Valid point.

Btw, doesn't anyone else think it is unfair to go to lunch mid-over, just after a wicket? Kind of ruins the momentum...

I love how even though our spinners suck, Patel, Astle and Beard are still arguably a better spin bowling depth than Australia's.

Soft as poo that was Sachin

Not all poos are that soft, tbf.

The Mythical Indian Fan (TM). Useful when you need to dismissively talk about someone.

"Moral of the story: Don't judge a pitch by how Sehwag bats on it."

Truths - on so many levels.

Have to say though, Ryder's celebration poses are so easy to manipulate in photoshop.

Working on another one as we speak.

 

[Athlai]

Ryder WAFG will be bigger than Flintoff.

Take that however you want to.

Yep look forward to people dismissing Sehwag's knock on it being an easy pitch to bat on, flat etc.

Look it's not a minefield, but **** it's hard to get the ball away at times. Especially from spinners if they bowl decently

NZs batting will make him look good.

But yeah, making a mental note of what this pitch is like for future reference in debates with haterz.

They have already done that in the cricinfo comments section in yesterday's article.

NZ fan perspective I would rather it is a featherbed at this point
