*Official* New Zealand in India 2010

[Jono]

Anyone else notice a distinct lack of India posters in this thread? Seems all NZ, they must be bored by it all

I only post when Harbhajan gets hundreds

 

[Zinzan]

They might decide on batting practice for the tail, but may want to contemplate a declaration, 44 overs left, the lead 274 & 2-3 overs lost for the change of innings. Give them 275 off 41 overs, why not

 

[Days of Grace]

There is only a tiny chance we can bowl India out in 40 overs. I guess is the milestone worth giving up that tiny chance?

Nah. When in Rome do what the Romans do. Go for the personal milestones and gluttony first before thinking about the result.

Really awesome stuff from the Kiwis. I was wrong. Everyone was wrong.






How long do we wait before the NZ > Australia calls?

 

[Zinzan]

Anyone else find in ironic that amongst all the great batting by NZder's in the series, Vettori has looked in relatively atrocious form

India will prepare a raging turner and win the last test and SS's avatar.

 

[Days of Grace]

Hopkins will not get a better chance for that elusive half-century?

Probably,but i bet you didn't think you'd be going into the match level at the start of the series.Shows how well they have done.

awta.

Hopkins aint terrible

 

[Zinzan]

It is hard to believe this is the number 1 side in the world we're playing. Either we've improved overnight from bunnies into batting legends or this Indian bowling line-up is actually pretty damn toothless, with the notable exception of Zaheer.

It's even more amazing that Vettori has 11 wickets to date in the series at 30 (SR 77) against their batsmen (supposedly the best players of spin) in their conditions and Harby's 6 wickets have come at 50 (SR 116) against ours.

 

[Zinzan]

^ To add to that, It's also amazing that Harby has totally owned Vettori with the bat

I am waiting for Athlais prediction for him - but he has to take advantage of this opportunity. The Indian bowlers are tired and not into this any more.

 

[Jono]

They're not supposedly the best players of spin. They are the best players of spin.

Bizzarro cricket.

 

[Athlai]

Hopkins to take 10 dismissals after we declare.

 

[NZ Guy]

Good way of buying byes

Well, if so, speaks volumes of Vettori's 11 wickets @ 30

Vettori is more (slow) seam bowler than a spinner to be fair...

Vettori always looks in atrocious form with the bat. Squirts through gully and square leg are a sign of him being in good Vettori knick if you ask me
