***Official India in New Zealand***

[Jono]

Going at the current rate, India might remove the deficit by the same time tomorrow; the only chance of an Indian win is if they have enough wickets to score another 200-250, then declare with about 2 sessions to go and make NZ bat on a Day 5 wicket.

India won't be declaring, even if they get 200 ahead.

1-0 up in the series.

 

[Craig]

I'll be over the moon if we can get at least one wicket tonight. Especially Sehwag.

 

[Xuhaib]

2 days left and 305 runs to break even.

Yeah...

I would have preferred if they had made India do some leather chasing and them bring then in would have been more demoralizing..

 

[Sanz]

This is a dunce act by Vettori. He'll regret this. Sehwag and Co will not make the same mistakes twice.

India are not winning this one. There is only one result possible in this game which is a NZ win and If the dont win then they should be considered as the worst test match team ever.

 

[Jono]

I'll break something if India lose a wicket tonight and send in Sharma.

 

[Athlai]

Haha now that you mention it I'd love a late wicket just to see if they'll dare send Sharma in.

 

[Athlai]

O'Brilliant to get a wicket.

 

[biased indian]

who is that commentating along with ian smith ????

i agree our batsmen were very poor in the first inngs ..but the way they are commentating it feels like we are about to lose the match being 8 down in the second inng or is follwing on after scoring around 100 in the first inngs

still feel NZ will win but have feelig we will make them work hard for it ..than the way these two are making it out

Yeah, you have to be a pretty bad team to score 600 and then bowl out India for half of that on this deck. Worst ever.

 

[jeevan]

I guess we've missed a chance to find if this Indian team could chase down 500 for a win, there was a poll on it here a while ago.

Yeah...

if sehwag stay and only if stays till tea tommorow.... we will be in lead by 50 by day end

I agree that they won't. This is going to be a draw.

Esp with 2 full days still left in the match.

Big if.

SS, I've attached your week-long avatar. Feel free to use your own if you can find anything more humiliating than Yuvraj Singh posing in his ODI jersey as a symbol of test cricket. Enjoy.

SS got owned

Ian Smith having a red hot go at Sehwag.

I don't get this. You praise Sehwag when he scores a run-a-ball 300 vs. South Africa, when India are trailing by 600.

But if he goes out playing that way now (he hasn't even been dismissed yet!) then you bag the way he plays, and how he's too aggressive.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. You take the good with the bad with Viru, and he's mainly good!

Should have cut that picture and put that test class little high in white font

 

[DaRick]

Well, NZ have been surprisingly good thus far.

We'll see whether they can replicate their performance when India follows on.
