Your boi Wagner was to busy taking them all.Maybe because I was at the ground? Remind me again, how many wickets did he take for us in the first innings?
He was high 130s during the ODIs wasn't he?Andersons bowling has regressed so badly. Down on pace, poor line and lengths...
Thinking back, West Indies haven't beaten India in a test match since 2002. So that goes even longer.Hasn't it been more than 11 years since NZ last defeated India in a test match ?
Wonder if it's the longest time span for any team not winning a test match against India (not taking Bangladesh into question) ?
All it takes is one or two good bits of cricketCan't believe we're going to lose this game.
Don't be utterly ridiculous. Most of us agree he wasn't ready for this series against India, but to say he should never play again is ludicrous giving he clearly has natural ability. Thank goodness you're not in a position to be able to make such absurd decisions.Theres 14 easy runs for Kohli... after he'd been under pressure for most the morning. Bench this guy and never play him again.

Some stats: this is the 42nd time since 2000 that a team has had to chase a target of between 400-450 in the fourth innings of a Test; only two of the previous 41 have won. So India's task is not an impossible one, but it is unlikely - people's perception is altered by remembering the few times teams have won from such a position, forgetting the many more instances that they have lost. I'd give them maybe a 15% chance of victory at best, at the moment.Can't believe we're going to lose this game.
Seriously? I'm not sure how anyone who's watched a lot of NZ over the years could say that? Of the top of my head I can think of 5-6 occasions in which we've blown massive leads in the 3rd innings and then failed to bowl sides out chasing relatively high totals. Cynical as it sounds, when we were 2-down early yesterday I sent a text to a mate saying we'll be rolled for 100 and India will win by 5 wickets. Should have put my money where my mouth is.Can't believe we're going to lose this game.
AgreedSodhi is average
