***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

[Contra]

This test match is a massive opportunity for Dhoni the batsmen to make a statement, if he can contribute with the bat and help India win the game that'd be a big achievement for him as a captain.

This is pathetic stuff from you NZ fans. Big chases can fall apart so quickly. All you need is getting the centurion. 170 is a hell of a lot of runs FFS.

Dhawan has made me taste it this game. Wonderful innings

We've seen New Zealand lose matches from similar positions too many times.

 

[Contra]

If Rohit/Dhawan can put up a big partnership here I'll forgive them for their ****ty starts/scores in the ODIs

 

[Bahnz]

Boult's just starting to come on nicely. Pity he couldn't have started bowling like this yesterday evening.

It's ignorance on your part if you think think NZ fans are being unreasonably pessimistic, simple as that.

12 overs to the new ball. Dhawan needs to be gone by then.

C'mon Boulteh!

Nah, some of you ****s need to look on the bright side of life.

Who the **** cares about the odis.

 

[Bahnz]

Hmmm, new ball only 12 overs away. Reckon McCullum will keep Boult on for 2 more and then give him an hour to rest up before taking the new ball. That leaves Anderson/KW with a huge job in the interim.

wagner needs to get closer to the stumps

Omg rohit heart attack but good shot

I'm just saying the remaining 160-170 runs will look massive if you get Dhoni / Jadeja in as soon as possible. Those two are useless overseas. If Dhoni Jadeja and the rest are left with around 70 to get,though, I'd be backing India. Long way to go still

Wagner needs to hit the stumps...

 

[Bahnz]

Here's a question for those familiar with the laws. If a batsman hits the ball a second time to prevent it from going onto the stumps, and that 2nd hit is then caught on the full by a fielder, is it out?

 

[Jono]

The point is this game was never India's. They were favourites when Kohli was in but nz were never out of it.

 

[silentstriker]

Ugh, this is the first time I haven't been able to watch a Test match involving India in a long time. So annoying. Cricinfo - get your act together.

 

[Contra]

Who the **** cares about the odis.

better starts from those 2 and we could have won a few of the matches. It would be ideal for them to make up for it here, although they've both contributed in this match already tbf to them.

 

[Jono]

Holy **** only 12 runs added by these guys.
