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

Flem274*

123/5
just watched the wickets on 3 news. good view of the wagner ball. definitely a no ball, but afaic checking for those when a wicket happens but not caring every other ball is rubbish. just terrible all round really apart from the bowling itself. similar happened to watling as well. rahane's big inside edge also just as terribad as the anderson call. this test is just a great advertisement for why we need drs in some form really. i don't really care about the human element of decisions or whatever it is traditionalists argue, i just want the decisions to be right.

the match could have been so different. india may have cruised it, or maybe anderson would have made a big ton instead of just 77.

bah - I deleted that too. After I posted it I thought it might be a sore point for him. sorry bahnz.
Heh, no problem but it was an uncomfortable amount ( though thankfully nowhere near as much as I won off the drawn test at last year's Eden Park match) and I think I'm going to close down my betting account with the tab now. From now on, you're on your own boys!

New Zealand are a rapidly improving team. Youngsters are very impressive. They should win this series and thoroughly deserves too. India are overrated in my view.

It's amazing to think how different test history would be if DRS had been around, and how badly it's missed now when it isn't used. Hopefully the BCCI will see that at least some of the howlers (eg Anderson & Rahane's dismissals) could have been avoided & change their position.

Inevitably there will be some umpiring mistakes in the next test too, it's so infuriating to know the DRS could possibly correct them but isn't being used.

btw. Great to see Wagner transfer some of his FC promse to the test arena, seems such a hard worker I'm glad he was rewarded.

Overrated by who? No one rates them and they just almost won a test despite giving up a 300 run first innings lead.
