Oh FFS. Do you really expect to be taken seriously after posting a list featuring probably 70 percent of players you've never ever seen before?
This is the kind of **** that makes CW a complete laughing stock.
Yeah, but very unlikely to see NZ declaring and dangling a carrot for India to chase, if anything India are still in a better position to win this game if they can manage to take a few quick wickets in the 1st session.Reckon this pitch & conditions suits the NZ bowlers more. Especially a bowler like Southee.
Ponting.Are there any attacking captains in the international game at the minute though?
With Mahela no longer skipper, I don't reckon there is.
You are definitely correct there. Ponting has declared about 2 times in the last year for a score of 450 in the 1st innings.Ponting.
I'd be very disappointed if we didn't even try. If you're not trying to win then you shouldn't be playing.We're scoring at around 5 an over today. Reckon we're looking to bowl them out.

Nah, they're just being positive against a weakened attack, with the intent of taking the game away from India by lunchy. Vettori will know the odds of bowling india out in circa 50 overs on this track would be virtually impossible. I'd be hugely surprised if we declared.We're scoring at around 5 an over today. Reckon we're looking to bowl them out.

If the ball swings a bit as it has done and the Indian batsman go for it we're in with a faint shout.Nah, they're just being positive against a weakened attack, with the intent of taking the game away from India by lunchy.

Yeah, that sounds about right to me.If the ball swings a bit as it has done and the Indian batsman go for it we're in with a faint shout.
I can see us getting them 3 or 4 down and then bottling up shop and being impossible to get. Yet again giving Kiwi fans heartbreak.
So a kid who has just scored a test 50, in his second match, to go with the century he scored in his first match, has a good technique but doesn't know how to use it? That's possibly the most inane statement I've ever read.As I said about Williamson, he has a good technique but doesn't know how to use it.
Just last over, he was completely late on a shot. On many occasions he has received half-volleys where he looked to play a good cover-drive, yet doesn't get any power or placement.
