Well that was pretty dumb from Franklin... Was just thinking he looked quite composed too.

Now I'd be surprised if we made 300.
Even less chance now. It's been a far better effort however they were saying before average first innings score in Bangalore is something like 450. We're a long way from that unfortunately.

I don't think we have got any wickets today because of good/great balls or because of the pitch. Should get a lot of runs tomorrow if we play conventionally.

Never really got going after tea did he, and you'd expect India to have around an hour's batting tonight. NZ batsmen seem to have the same fatal weakness for the sweep as England's did last winter.

I don't want to take anything away from what was a terrific display, but what you have there is a classic example of why Taylor will only ever be a good test batsman. Flat track, old ball, tired attack, and he gets out playing a rubbish shot to a **** ball. Honestly, you can practically count the number of times that he's batted for more than two full sessions on one hand. And sadly its got to the point now where he'll probably never change.

You were saying it would be even if NZ get 320... I think India will be more than happy with that as they stroll to 450.
Inexperienced middle order. A collapse is possible and the game might be even. **** you ****s are more pessimistic than pre-2005 England.:p

Who's a pessimistic ****? Beating us by an innings + a million last test not enough to give you some confidence in your batting? :p

Wouldn't be surprised if Raina scored a century.

Ok... I would actually.
