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

[Athlai]

Cracking shot from Baz there.

 

[Flem274*]

lovely shot from baz to bring up the 50. halfway to shutting me up

Wow Gavaskar has a massive boner for KW, huh?

Doubt it's that big. Quite a small man.

Well done, Baz! Century please.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Roady McRoad Road.

I'm lovin' it!

 

[Mike5181]

Baz is tough. He'll get through it.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Welcome to the Danger Zone!

A lot of drift. All the way down to the fine leg boundary.

 

[straw man]

This is a very important innings for McCullum - absolutely cannot afford any more wickets and would be really helpful if he can just soak up another 10 overs. Hasn't even looked the batsman that averaged over 30 as opener for us a while ago, despite that hundred vs the West Indies, hence my nervousness about him vs the moving ball in this situation.

McCullum - ticked that box and with pitch flattening out his attack is putting a lot of pressure on India's bowlers, which they don't seem to be handling well.

[Athlai]

This over rate seems awfully slow.

Hey why was Ishant batting 4th in that match?

 

[Mike5181]

Ian Smith's laying it on a bit thick. We're playing well but there's a long way to go in this game.

Great shot from KW though.

Nightwatchman. They couldn't let the inexperienced Tendulkar go out there with 6 overs left in the day.

 

[ajdude]

man this partnership's good to watch.

 

[Zinzan]

360/4

Doesn't look like a piss-take anymore

 

[Zinzan]

Ian Smith's laying it on a bit thick.

It's all those pastries he had for lunch.

 

[Blocky]

I wonder if this innings from Baz will stop the clown hour amateur writers on Stuff.co.nz on assignment talking about how he needs to be dropped and isn't good enough for NZ anymore?

 

[Prensel]

How is jadeja doing? Anything in the pitch for him?

 

[Blocky]

Just sliding on, he's bowling flat and full - 91kmh style ODI stuff.

Pitch is looking a pretty decent batting wicket now - Hendrix called it earlier.

 

[Prensel]

So what is sodhi going to do?

I read Stuff for general news but make a special point of ignoring their sports pieces for that very reason.
