*Official* New Zealand in India 2010

[shankar]

Heh what's happened to Simon Taufel today?!

 

[silentstriker]

That was missing middle stump half way up. Taufel not on his game today.

Taylor gets lucky, damn BCCI for not having UDRS...

 

[Shri]

Taylor lucky. Good to see Ojha not get a wicket though. Don't need another spinner on the side who does **** all in the side for a decade persisted with for one good series.

 

[Bahnz]

The kiwi's get one back from awful Taufel. Tbh honest, India can have Guptill if it means Taylor can have a second chance.

 

[Prince EWS]

Pitching middle, hitting middle halfway up, bat nowhere near it, not given

Haha, indeed.

 

[Prince EWS]

I hope Phlegm is watching this insane leg side assault so he can not crack it next time someone says Ross Taylor plays too many leg side shots sometimes. Sure it's definitely exaggerated but when he gets in a particularly stupid aggressive mood or is tied down for ages, he does do this. Yes, even sometimes in Tests.

I have a feeling Taylor is going to need more than one chance in this innings.

 

[Contra]

Awesome catch!

 

[Blakey]

Is Hopkins the worst keeper/batsman going round?

 

[M0rphin3]

NZ

Should've bowled way better on this track.

 

[Howsie]

So what does Chris Martin have to make today to average more then Hopkins this series?

Worst keeper/nightwatchmen

 

[Bahnz]

4 not out. It's quite a mountain to climb, to be honest.

 

[straw man]

Tbh NZ have been in this situation, facing a mountain of a deficit, many times over the last few years, and it always leads to a top order collapse. At least today we can say it's mostly the filler in the batting lineup that is gone.

 

[silentstriker]

That really was a great catch.

 

[Blakey]

That really was a great catch.

Pretty good - but not great. The ball certainly looped up a little once it hit the pad.

 

[vcs]

Fun cheering up fact for NZ fans : Martin averages more (with the bat) than Raina in this series.

And Raina averages less than Martin with the ball. Anyone think a swap is on the cards? I'm guessing that India needs another batsmen in his late 30's to pad out their middle order.
