*Official* New Zealand in India 2010

[biased indian]

we can now extend the session by 30 minutes rite ?

Southee! Now that is a tough stumping decision.

 

[vcs]

LOL Dhoni..

TBF he's been very good at effecting stumpings of late.

 

[joels344]

It will be a close call, but I say he's out.

 

[joels344]

Damn, 3 minutes for that decision.

 

[vcs]

Good decision. Common sense applied there.

 

[Bahnz]

Think that's right. Southee was very lucky, the instant his bat touched the ground was the instant dhoni removed the bails. Funnily had Dhoni been a fraction slower with his hands, he would've had Southee out.

 

[vcs]

I think it's a nonsensical rule that something must be grounded at the exact time the bails are taken off, it should clearly be enough to have grounded something before the bails are dislodged.

 

[NZTailender]

Tim Southee - best 6 hitter in tests which are lost already.

 

[James]

Hoping Southee can go on and get a quick fire 50 now so we have something to be pleased about with this Test.

I suppose in regard to the series in general, would Kiwi and Indian fans have taken this result at the start of the series? I would have said we would have been happy with our performance through the series and to only lose 1-0 is not so bad, where as the world number 1 Indian side would be a little disappointed with their performance in general I would have thought.

DWTA strongly.

 

[vcs]

I especially dislike that rule when a runner puts in an almighty dive, makes his ground before the bails are taken off, but the bat bounces a bit at that exact moment. Terrible to be given out in that kind of situation.

Would have been 3-0 if we had better pitches. **** **** curators ftl.

Indeed.

 

[Shri]

Indeed.

You can't even think about winning in those roads unless you have ATG bowlers in your line up. Something neither team had.

NZ almost won the 1st test, if it wasn't for Harby's slogging.

Pitches weren't flat pancakes, it's just that bowling and captaincy has been below par, IMO.

You can't be serious.

NZ almost won the first test, you don't agree with that?

Nope, there was decent turn and bounce IIRC. Not much, but still not bad.

Was so flat that a tailender got a hundred.
