Yeah, but very unlikely to see NZ declaring and dangling a carrot for India to chase, if anything India are still in a better position to win this game if they can manage to take a few quick wickets in the 1st session.
Also think there is that Sehwag fear factor that really would make any captain think twice, before they look to make a sporting declaration against India.

Ponting.
Sends teams in on flat decks in England, bats on greentops in Australia and in England. Backs his players to make the most of the worst of the conditions time after time, and if they don't he hopes like hell they somehow dig themselves out of the **** they've created for themselves.

Finally have a bit of internettage access again. Like everyone, very impressed with McCullum's innings. We'll wait and see how he goes when he's opening on quicker pitches, but good signs for now as he's taking his improved batting of the last couple of years into this new gig.
Hopkins... For every run Hopkins scores I will take back one percentage point of all the nasty things I've said about him... now if that's not an incentive for him I don't know what is...

You are definitely correct there. Ponting has declared about 2 times in the last year for a score of 450 in the 1st innings.
Bugger off.

I'd be very disappointed if we didn't even try. If you're not trying to win then you shouldn't be playing.

Nah, they're just being positive against a weakened attack, with the intent of taking the game away from India by lunchy. Vettori will know the odds of bowling india out in circa 50 overs on this track would be virtually impossible. I'd be hugely surprised if we declared.

If the ball swings a bit as it has done and the Indian batsman go for it we're in with a faint shout.
I can see us getting them 3 or 4 down and then bottling up shop and being impossible to get. Yet again giving Kiwi fans heartbreak.

Yeah, that sounds about right to me.

So a kid who has just scored a test 50, in his second match, to go with the century he scored in his first match, has a good technique but doesn't know how to use it? That's possibly the most inane statement I've ever read.
