Napier is always a road admittedly. The pitches this summer, even in domestics, have been ridiculously flat. We've had a huge amount of 100s this season.
A WICKET!!!!!!! SHOCK HORROR!!!!

Ugh, very marginal decision. Hawkeye shows it clipping top of leg, so not as bad as it looked on first sight.
And 2 balls before new ball is due. I'd almost have sent Zaheer Khan ahead of Yuvraj here.

Why did they take the new ball? Yuvi would be much more vulnerable to spin from both ends.

Yeah, so would it be fair to say there shouldn't be any insinuations of the NZC sucking up to the BCCI for this pitch at least seeing as though it is docile in nature? With all the suggestions of doctoring the pitches favorably for India, I was expecting all the lively pitches to have somehow become roads.
Big test for Yuvi now. Goddamn please last at least an hour or so. Wonderful knock by Gambhir though.

Well, he doesn't have a fabulous record against anything.
I have no idea who thinks Yuvraj is Test class, or what possible reason they have for thinking so. Judging by my avatar, apparently I do, but the idiot train should end there. The Indian selectors are absolute muppets for picking him, and it's a slap in the face to every good batsman toiling in the domestic scene. The guy just isn't even close to being a Test player. Get him the hell out. Well, maybe muppets like me keep backing him, but all who do have no idea what they're talking about...he's just completely dire.

Seddon Park generally isn't that flat. Eden Park Outer Oval and Napier are the only real flatties here.
Yeah I may have been blowing up a bit (wouldn't be surprised if groundsmen were told to keep the pitches flat for "good cricket/bias towards batting", but I want a greentop damn it!
No more draws!

As close as that was, Gambhir's had two or three very close calls go his way, so he can't be two upset that one finally went against him. Great innings, and unless we can absolutely fly through India's middle and lower order, he's probably done enough to save his side from defeat.

Haha Yuvraj, what a mess at the Test level. Look at those leaves. He has no clue how to handle any sort of good bowling.

Ugly leaves, beaten comprehensively, and a loose 'looking-the-other-way' in the air shot from back of the bat....and that's just the first over. And this is on a pitch where NZ scored 600, and India have lost four wickets in 160 overs.
Aye, very good innings.Terrific innings Gautam. Very proud of you

What Indian selectors are saying that this guy is better than all the FC batsmen currently in the country. It's such a ludicrous suggestion to even think about. Better than Badrinath, Vijay, Chopra etc.
