Forecast for India's chances: cloudy

Cloudy is good #JamesAndersonthoughts

Not only James Anderson mate. New Zealand after all is the land of the great white cloud

My prediction: Nicholls to get dropped 17 times on his way to a match winning 472 not out.

Nicholls being the MVP would truly be a dark time. I could totally see it

Nah, we all know that after scoring 4 ducks v England - and with everyone on the forum calling for us replacement by Conway - the Boss will bring up his 20th with a slog sweep 6 off Ashwin to set up an insurmountable first innings lead.

 

[CricAddict]

We gonna win by 10 wickets while Teja gets lynched in a Mafia game.

India to in by 10 wickets if it assists pace. Win by an innings if it assists spin.

Rahane Pujara are both going through a lean patch.. I'd back a promising in form youngster over those two easily. Sundar has opened in U19 WC & Ashwin also said he is a opener by default. So it won't be a bad idea to let him open to counter boult & shift Gill to middle order who is struggling atm. Solves a lot of our problems.

I will play Sundar over Gill in the final as opener while having Rahane at 5.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Yes.
Let the fan war begin.
I feel playing with NZ is like fighting woman. If you win , you get no pleasure because they are a small nation of 5 million population but if you lose , you feel embarrassed.

pipe down mate

 

[Noumenon]

Is it a final when you are playing these snoozies?

Should be excellent practice though for the real prize of the summer, a series win against England.

 

[Athlai]

India winning a series in NZ or England ain't happening anytime soon

 

[Apex Predator]

Brace yourself. India will be getting one helluva preparation this time unlike last time. Practice games against India A, A WTC final vs NZ. I'd say India has a decent chance. Next NZ test tour is at least 4 years away.

 

[Noumenon]

India winning a series in NZ or England ain't happening anytime soon

What you perhaps meant to type was, ''it isn't happening *again* anytime soon''. Because it has already happened.

OTOH, if you typed, ''NZ winning a series in India ain't happening anytime soon'', then you won't suffer the indignity of being corrected.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Only reason India winning a series in NZ ain't happening anytime soon is if they don't tour there anytime soon

 

[Athlai]

Well those sure are opinions people will possibly choose to read

In an ideal 5 test series to really determine the best test team what kind of ground spread would you pick. Seems a seamer, a bouncer, a spinner are all givens. What else?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Might you not get plastered, come online, pick a fight and get banned for a week instead/

I already do most of that anyway

Green seamer, bouncy hard pitch, dustbowl, slow-low Asian wicket and to round it out a road

 

[Shady Slim]
