***Official*** New Zealand in India 2012

[Athlai]

The moment we've all been waiting for. Jimmeh

 

[Meridio]

This is gonna be a jinx, I don't think much of Flynn vs spin but he's done ok so far

Literally the second I read that Flynn got out. WAC.

 

[Shri]

go on then.

I see what what you did there. The time he spends away from the thread digging up stats is time we can use to have good discussions. Well played.

And also, ASHWIN!!!

 

[Manee]

Ojha's looked rubbish this innings. Good thing Ashwin is looking so unplayable.

He should be brought back on after the ball gets older.

It was always on the cards tbf. Though also tbf, the umpire could easily have given Flynn not out - may have hit top of off or may not. Definitely letting this contribute to my/NZ persecution complex.

Franklin stakes in a pressure situation:

Ojha is ****ing terrible always. India's Jeets(taste it athers). **** should never play test cricket. Murali Kartik should play if we need a left arm spinner.

 

[Athlai]

Easy money for me

57/4? Not surprised.

 

[Hurricane]

It's true though.

Long Answer: No doubt its true - especially compared to the top teams in the world. But it is important to be a gracious winner and you should win this test series.

Short Answer - We are quite good at slagging our own team off and have lots of practice at it and don't need the help.

Peace.

 

[straw man]

Phew, first bit of luck

 

[Dan]

Jeets to ton up after his first innings bowling display, TBH.

I'll take 10-20, BTW.

I prefered your original answer

 

[Prince EWS]

Can't wait for Franklin to top score. Pews to already have $50 on it.

you know me too well. I only have $20 on it though; I also put $20 on Kane.

Liking my chances from here.

 

[Shri]

Bend down and go for the catch Sehwag you lazy, fat piece of ****.

 

[Meridio]

Right, it's all down to our best two batsmen, Kane and Jimmeh

 

[straw man]

Just want to remind everyone what an ungodly piece of **** of a shot McCullum played - way to give India the upper hand and let Dhoni stack the close-in field and attack with impunity.

I've defended McCullum a lot in the past but he needs someone to give him a serious kick in the arse after that.

 

[deathmonger]

go on then.

India as no 1:

Home -
W:4 L:1 D:2

W/L: 4

Away:
W:3 L:6 D:4

W/L: 0.5

England as no 1:

Home:
W:2 L:2 D:2

W/L: 1

Away:
W:1 L:4

W/L: 0.25

Our away record as no 1 is better than England's yet when we were number 1 it was "India still has to prove themselves in England etc etc" while when England was no 1 "OMG best team eva".

And also, ASHWIN!!!

Why don't you stand up to these white guys. Why do you feel that you are inferior because of your brown skin. Why don't you defend your country?

 

[Manee]

Nah, I think Ojha can be good. He's just bowled rubbish so far. That being said, would love to see Kartik play a few Tests.
