*Official* New Zealand in India 2010

[straw man]

The batting order collapsed around him tbf.

You're right, it's lucky we had Napkins there to prevent India cleaning up

A little gem someone sent to the cricinfo scorers............

'Vishal Choudhary: "Can India hire Bangladeshi bowlers for third Test plzzzzzzzzzzzzz?"

 

[Athlai]

Utter bullcrap.

It was a poor innings but the pressure was hardly "totally off of him", a lot of pressure on his place in the team and he lost the established batting partner.

Well, quite. He was certainly under pressure, but even taking that into consideration, he looked all at sea against an attack who had been in the field for a long time and had looked pretty damn toothless all morning.

Sreesanth did seem a bit fired up though, the rest looked woeful. Hopkins looked pretty dire but I maintain he isn't terrible just very mediocre.

Arnel just can't get any luck.

TAYLOR! Costing guppy another wicket!

 

[Smudge]

Spinners in NZ better than Guptill based on my non-existent standardised averages:
Daniel Vettori
Jeetan Patel
Nick Beard
Peter Petherick
Evan Gray
Greg Loveridge
Mark Haslam
Matthew Hart
Dipak Patel
Glen Sulzberger
Whatshisname Nethula
Richard Wixon
Stu Duff


I am VERY disappointed to see him bowling right now based on my research.

 

[Zinzan]

Ahhh, Taylor just dropped the match

 

[Athlai]

Made me chuckle to see that NcCullum didn't get in there. Good call IMO.

You missed Grant Bradburn and Voltman.

 

[Smudge]

Would have preferred it if you had put my name before Bradburn's tbh.

 

[straw man]

Ugh, hurry up and call this match off. Pointless

 

[Jono]

Lol @ Sehwag not taking singles at the end, and only trying to hit boundaries.

I look forward to people arguing that those 4th innings runs of his being more important than his 2nd innings

Looks like these pitches more nothing more than average-boosters for the batsmen.

Sadly I think you're right. Reckon when we get onto some proper pitches we'll come crashing down to Earth, then again we are playing Pakistan....

Correct, one of the reasons many Indian batsmen average 45-50+ with the bat, yet hardly any of their bowlers (ever) average under 30

Oh well, we got the two draws that Greatbatch was looking for before the series. Now to finish it off with a nice series win.
