[Napa]

Let's go India!

I hope the match is over today to avoid the risk of it getting rained out tomorrow.

 

[Itachi]

Should be over by tea.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

How long till this starts?

 

[Napa]

How long till this starts?

It starts in about half an hour.

 

[street cricketer]

Wagner looks so much similar to Wahab.

 

[Ankit007]

Wickets lo yar....

 

[Aman]

Just by watching Guptill bat, you can tell he doesn't belong at this level.

Unfortunately for us, we have another player who doesn't belong there coming in next...

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

I dont know how can Umpires miss that!!! That was Plumb..

Guptill looks absolute clueless..He is garbage in tests

 

[Salman CricBio]

Guptill looks absolute clueless..He is garbage in tests

Not watching the match at the moment so don't know if he was out or not, umpires have been pathetic, so far in this series.

Although, I agree with the last line. Guptil is not a test batsman.

 

[Aman]

It's 9 v 11.

I wonder how close we could have pushed India if we had KW and someone else in place of Guptill.

 

[Aman]

That looked out live.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Lots of Deliveries missing the stumps..Hit and Miss... Umpires not giving LBWs..

And then Boundaries coming in every over..Need to control the runs..
A partnership of 100 odd,no matter how it comes, will put India in pressure.

 

[Aman]

Latham is really prone to getting out lbw.

He seems to fall over a lot.

 

[Salman CricBio]

Latham is really prone to getting out lbw.

He seems to fall over a lot.

A high temperament and good test player, nevertheless.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Is Jesse Ryder still playing FC? Or absolutely out of equation? He had potential.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Nothing happening in the pitch now.

Still some small chances are being created by spinners.

Gotta keep it tight and wait.

This is gonna be a tough innings.

 

[Salman CricBio]

I wants New Zealand to do a Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, 3rd Test, 2015.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Nothing happening in the pitch now.

Still some small chances are being created by spinners.

Gotta keep it tight and wait.

This is gonna be a tough innings.

Shami had his moments..Unfortunate that he didn't get wickets.. Could have easily got 2-3 wickets.

Nothing for others till now though.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Imagine if India would have crumbled yesterday and this happened.

lol.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Shami had his moments..Unfortunate that he didn't get wickets.. Could have easily got 2-3 wickets.

Yeah....umpires not giving plumb out.

Whats new.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Yeah....umpires not giving plumb out.

Whats new.

Do you think the guy in your signature could have made a difference with the bounce he generates?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Do you think the guy in your signature could have made a difference with the bounce he generates?

Do you think he could not have?

He makes a difference everywhere.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

I think India should have gone with 5 bowlers

 

[Aman]

55/0.

320 more runs to go, but it only takes 1 or 2 wickets for it to open up.

 

[Aman]

So we've won 3 sessions and shared 3 sessions.

 

[Belawal2014]

Yeah....umpires not giving plumb out.

Whats new.

Not DRS.

 

[Suleiman]

Really hope NZ win.

Thoughts and prayers with rosco

 

[JaDed]

Kiwis cruising well what happened?

 

[JaDed]

Not DRS.

No bro that was a bit too plumb but umpires are humans as well.

 

[Aman]

Kiwis cruising well what happened?

Nah, you're still well ahead. If they put on 200 together, then you should start worrying...

 

[Belawal2014]

No bro that was a bit too plumb but umpires are humans as well.

Haven't been watching the match today but wanted to pull SIF ji's leg.

 

[Suleiman]

think this will be a career defining innings for guppy puppi.

 

[street cricketer]

Yeah....umpires not giving plumb out.

Whats new.

Guptill?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Need quick wickets in this session.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Fantastic bit of flight and dip from Ash gets Guptill

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Good. Need to get them 4 down by tea. Rosco and Ronchi are key wickets.

 

[Salman CricBio]

That Guptill's wicket is 13th LBW of the match..equals the record for highest LBWs in any test match in India!!

Via: Cricinfo

 

[Aman]

That Guptill lbw was pitching outside. Still can't complain, he was plumb earlier.

 

[HitWicket]

That Guptill lbw was pitching outside. Still can't complain, he was plumb earlier.

May surprise you to know that the one earlier was only clipping the stumps by the finest of margins.

 

[Aman]

May surprise you to know that the one earlier was only clipping the stumps by the finest of margins.

So DRS would have saved him twice

 

[Aman]

The Indians over appealing is so annoying.

It's surprising they haven't been fined yet.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Ash seems to be in great rhythm, post lunch and Latham is doing an equally good job of seeing Ash's bowling through. Good contest, this.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Guptill?

Yes.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Is this Day 4 track or Day 1 track? )

Patience.

NZ fighting hard too.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Stop opening the leg side and stifle the runs.

 

[Smbhayi]

NZ just need 35 runs partnership from every wicket. Commondra NZ

 

[desirous of desire]

Pardon my ignorance but I have seen indian posters saying in the previous match that pitch is suddenly helping the spinners and suddenly not. How is that possible?

 

[Aman]

Both passengers out.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pardon my ignorance but I have seen indian posters saying in the previous match that pitch is suddenly helping the spinners and suddenly not. How is that possible?

It surprised all.

That was a weird pitch. Plus it also had a bit to do with the ball too. Older ball did more but too much of an old ball got soft did little.

This pitch is another one. Relaid Kolkata pitch.

Yesterday, there was unplayable variable bounce for 20-30 overs and now it looks like normal. First 3 innings, pacers got way more purchase and now there is nothing. But this could be attributed to relaid pitch which can act odd till it settles down.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jaddu you beauty.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Please cut out all the sweep runs of Latham. Fine sweep...proper sweep...everything.

Stifle him.

Annoyed with the field placing for him.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

As I said, the field placing is stupid.

The around the wicket is fine but fielders are not there.

Need to cut out the sweep runs.

 

[JaDed]

Latham has been good this series need to get him before EOD looking dangerous.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Need 2 more before tea.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jaddu in good flow.

 

[JaDed]

Jaddu in good flow.

Before the last wicket CB says Kumble came to ground and passed a message via Pujara.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Before the last wicket CB says Kumble came to ground and passed a message via Pujara.

Yeah.......both spinners can learn a lot from Kumble.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We just have to wait.

The pitch will play up. Or ball may reverse.

Hopefully.

One ball just did for Jaddu.

That's why we can't give runs.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jaddu in zone.

That lbw was close.

 

[Aman]

Disgraceful stuff from the Indians.

Jadeja and Kohli have to be fined.

 

[Aman]

Twice Jadeja has run across the danger zone.

I don't buy that excuse of habit.

If he does it again, he has to be removed.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Disgraceful stuff from the Indians.

Jadeja and Kohli have to be fined.

LOL..

That Tucker guy is robbing us a match and Jadeja and Kohli have to be fined!!!

 

[Statsman]

It's 9 v 11.

I wonder how close we could have pushed India if we had KW and someone else in place of Guptill.

You have the 2 umpires so that's +2 for NZ.

 

[JaDed]

Should keep the same line for Ross.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

You have the 2 umpires so that's +2 for NZ.

Lol...Nice one..Surely its 11 Vs 11

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Finally!!!

 

[JaDed]

And he goes this was coming for him!

 

[Aman]

You have the 2 umpires so that's +2 for NZ.

Guptill's wasn't out

And you quickly forget the 3 wickets that got you into the strong position in the last Test.

Frankly, the over appealing is doing you no favors. Your going up for everything and putting pressure on the umpires, then you're having a go at them for not giving the close ones (Kohli).

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ashwin strikes.

Rossy gone.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Guptill's wasn't out

And you quickly forget the 3 wickets that got you into the strong position in the last Test.

Guptill was plumb earlier of pacer.

If anything, umpire screwed us before.

Cmon.

Last test, I agree.

 

[Aman]

Guptill was plumb earlier.

If anything, umpire screwed us before.

Cmon.

Last test, I agree.

Yeah, the last one was clipping. If it went to DRS, it would have remained with umpires call.

Second, are we really going to complain about a decision against Guptill?

 

[Aman]

I swear to god... Jadeja is a disgrace.

That was nowhere close to being out.


Turning away and hit him on freaking off.

Disgraceful appealer.

 

[JaDed]

Yeah, the last one was clipping. If it went to DRS, it would have remained with umpires call.

Second, are we really going to complain about a decision against Guptill?

Yes we are he and Ronchi are two guys i don't trust Indian bowlers with ,one can never be sure!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Yessss

Just need Latham, Ronchi and Santner before close of day.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Yeah, the last one was clipping. If it went to DRS, it would have remained with umpires call.

Second, are we really going to complain about a decision against Guptill?

Ok I will check that.

If so, that is mere technicality.

It was super plumb live. If its just clipping, then yeah its not out that would the the case where umpires call legitimizes the wrong decision of umpire. That happens with DRS rules.

 

[Aman]

Do the Indians know the lbw rules? They seem to go up for anything that hits the pad as if it's plumb..

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

mix up. latham escape.

 

[Hamza_]

Great fight from NZ. Should have restricted India to a lead of about 300 though

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Do the Indians know the lbw rules? They seem to go up for anything that hits the pad as if it's plumb..

Probably Kumble would have asked them to go for these appeals.I remember how he used to ask our batters to atleast earn their pay by appealing when anything struck the pads as he used to toil away.
