India might declare out of pride tbh. Would be very embarrassing not to wipe the floor with us given how we've been rubbished (quite rightly) and they've been pumped up before this series.
They'll prepare a raging dustbowl next match. That's why we should have prepared the green tops last summer.

It's unfortunate if NZ don't clinch this, because I can't see them being pretty much on par with India again in the 2nd test. If you don't clinch the really close games, there seems to be a tendency to get beaten easily in the next match - just like Australia after Mohali.

No, that only comes out when India are losing.

NZ's batsmen look pretty competent against spin, and the less said about our spinners in recent times, the better. I don't see why we'd prepare a raging dustbowl given it usually also assists seamers and reverse swing. It'll be a normal Test match wicket.
NZ have done very well, fans are being too harsh on them for missing out on a possible winning opportunity... FFS, they have one and a half bowlers and have done a great job to put themselves in this position in the first place. And India still aren't entirely out of the woods.

Would agree - I was making the point I was making because in theory they should back themselves to put pressure on New Zealand even if they set them 215-220 in, say 50 overs, given all of the factors in their favour.

Whatever it takes!!!

Not Terrible
I said India would be bowled out for 150 this innings after ours.You and Athlai (and me) have made spookily correct predictions.
Looked so good.

I have this horrible suspicion that Patel will be selected for the second test as well, even though he's been very average here.
The thing about Patel is that he doesn't even get through that many overs, partly because of his high econ rate. Vettori always bowls about twice as many as him. We might as well have a seamer.

Classic. Harbhajan for New Zealand selector imo.

Not too unhappy with a draw TBH considering our weak bowling attack and traditional batting fraility.
Could we have won with a different bowling lineup? Obviously hindsight Martin was well worth his spot.

you gotta trust me.. I m not doing the anti jinxing thing.. It was all good predictions.

He always starts running when he hits the ball, right? But I would have thought they would have been used to it by now though.. Had this problem since the debut.
