*Official* New Zealand in India 2010

[biased indian]

In 2 games v Aus, averages less than 20.

In 2 games v SL, averages about 32.

In 2 games v WI, averages over 100.

It's really too early to know for sure whether Ryder's record against India is something to do with their bowlers, or whether he'll be as good against everyone. But looking at the way he's batted in this series, I know who I'd rather have coming to the crease at the fall of a wicket.

one thing is that the fact that he is left hander we used to generally struggle aganist decent left handed batsmen ..but in recent time Zac had better of the lefties to little extent

Hahahahahaha. "If he hadn't got the inside edge it wouldve been plumb........"

 

[biased indian]

the one that gambir dropped was that an easy one ?

 

[NZTailender]

think ours is a tad better Dravid-sachin-Laxman

You've had an awesome middle order for a while. This is our best in a fairly long time. Stop hogging all the fun.

Kane.

Nice wicket from Sharma. He's looked very good in this match.

is any one watching the game live on www.bcci.tv ?

its not working for me

Williamson plays back to a full delivery and gets bowled. TumTum to post.

Ryder is always gun against India.. we need to see him play other teams more to arrive at a conclusion.

awta Too early to tell who is better out of Jesse and Taylor. I adore Taylor's defensive system and could watch it all day long. He was one of the few new zealanders who could pick Kaneria's googly last time he played he here. Surprised he didn't do better this series. He will bounce back.

 

[joels344]

Maybe Raina should start bowling more.

How unfortunate

 

[NZTailender]

Well there it is. This match has truly been a match of 1 versus 8. India has owned us.

Goodnight.

 

[M0rphin3]

Ryder

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.

Interesting...

 

[Prince EWS]

Interesting...

Haha. I do that all the time.

NZ have really batted shockingly in this Test. Seemingly forgotten everything good they did in the first two Tests.

 

[joels344]

Raina got Vettori. He's getting a ridiculous amount of turn on this pitch.

 

[shankar]

Despite his figures, Harbhajan's been disappointing considering the turn and bounce on offer today.
