India beat New Zealand by 178 runs in the 2nd Test

[Crafty_Indian]

Must say Ash has really matured a lot from the Bangla series.This wicket is not even assisting the spinners as much and yet he has deceived the batsmen beautifully with his small adjustments.Won't be surprised if he starts bagging wickets in overseas conditions.

Nah, he's going to get nothing in those pitches.

He might get some drift and pick up the odd wicket with a change of pace, but that's all, the ball will not move an inch.

Offies are pretty easy to hit around down under.

 

[JaDed]

Latham played well,top man Santner in now.

 

[JaDed]

Is there any Indian player you are not hating right now [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] ?

Rahane, Vijay, Saha, BK, Pujara, Shami, Rohit and Rahul.

 

[JaDed]

Rahane, Vijay, Saha, BK, Pujara, Shami, Rohit and Rahul.

Rhetorical mate Rhetorical also Rohit?Kiwis must be disappointed coz they let Rohit score.

 

[Cinnamon_Cookie]

Rahane, Vijay, Saha, BK, Pujara, Shami, Rohit and Rahul.

aww i see .. only the harmless ones..

 

[Aman]

I didn't mind it too much. He's a very good batsmen to watch when in form.

 

[Aman]

aww i see .. only the harmless ones..

Rahane and Vijay are better and much more proven than Kohli.

BK ran through us in the first innings.

 

[JaDed]

Ash getting greedy should stick to his line.

 

[JaDed]

Why is Santner disappointed that looked out

 

[Statsman]

Why is Santner disappointed that looked out

He was expecting reprieves like Guptill. NZ batsmen must have got used to such gifts.

 

[Aman]

You mean the delivery that was clipping and would have remained not out either way?

Have to watch the match on mute because of the over appealing.

Lyon has a good record there.Home conditions yeah but must be doing something right

 

[JaDed]

Shami and his reverse is really nice to see we have to really take care of him and Bhuvi sadly both are only 1.78 m but work hard on their discipline.

 

[JaDed]

Only if we can maintain this,Bhuvi with new ball and Shami with old ,and that's

 

[Aman]

Lyon has a good record there.Home conditions yeah but must be doing something right

Lyon exploits the bounce well. His record everywhere else isn't too flash.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Well this is getting over real quick now!!

 

[Aman]

As for the complaining of lbws, you deserve no favors when you appeal for everything that hits the pads.

 

[Statsman]

Didn't Ronchi play all his cricket in Australia?

 

[Aman]

Born in NZ.

Then what is the bowler expected to do to be considered not "mediocre"..

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Shami on fire.....

 

[JaDed]

They are attacking now,should bring in Jaddu.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pitch still not turning barring the odd one.

lol.

But its reversing. And Shami's spell is over.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Why not try Bhuvi?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

That ball took off.

 

[Saurav]

Lyon exploits the bounce well. His record everywhere else isn't too flash.

Ashwin should be able to do that being taller

But its the pacer who have to do well there first.Lyon has to just play support role

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jaddu picks Ronchi AGAIN.

 

[Ab Fan]

Lots of non-sense going around.

Ash is a league above Herath and Lyon.

Only Yasir is superior as of now only as a bowler.

When spinners take wickets overseas, they most often take them off scoreboard pressure and also feed off the pressure built by pacers. It's near impossible to pick wickets in the first innings without scoreboard pressure in places like Australia. It's unfair to expect both Ashwin and Jadeja to pick wickets in a flurry when you're chasing the game after being shot out for a paltry score and your pacers are being smashed around everywhere. That is like expecting the pacers to pick wickets on the turners in India when the spinners are being smashed around.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jaddu looks threatening every ball. The pitch is gripping. Still turn eludes us.

 

[street cricketer]

Jeetan the demolisher has come to the crease.

 

[JaDed]

We need a bowler an extra one against England defn.

Exactly

 

[JaDed]

Woah Bhuvi

 

[JaDed]

Hopefully we can finish it today.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Bhuvi strikes.

Hahahaa

2 wickets to glory.

 

[JaDed]

Don't really expect Bhuvi to reverse well good on him though.

 

[Saurav]

Jaddu getting huge turn

 

[Saurav]

Did you see Bhuvi reversing it [MENTION=134408]Sidilicious[/MENTION]

 

[Moh@n]

#1 Test Ranking about to come back home

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Abey Wagner just slog few boundaries and get out ...kyun time waste kr ra hain sabka

 

[street cricketer]

Abey Wagner just slog few boundaries and get out ...kyun time waste kr ra hain sabka

Lmao Wagner frustrating everyone with his classical test batsmanship.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Get Ashwin in and ask him to carrom it.

Chalo...let's go.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jaddu getting huge turn

Odd ball.....there wasn't consistent turn.

Tail can't survive when Sir Jaddu gets consistent turn.

 

[Saurav]

Odd ball.....there wasn't consistent turn.

Tail can't survive when Sir Jaddu gets consistent turn.

Ya.but its easier to play when you know every ball turns

Now even Sir doesnt know which one will turn

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

How hard is it to bowl 6 carroms...

Why we wasting time playing proper cricket...lol.

 

[Saurav]

Dropped

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ya.but its easier to play when you know every ball turns

Now even Sir doesnt know which one will turn

Its not random ball turn but rare turn.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Damn it.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Is it dark at the stadium? Will they extend the session considering result is not too far away?

 

[street cricketer]

Wagner nalla gaeju aadran..

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Finally Jaddu strikes.

 

[Saurav]

 

[Indiafan]

Don't really expect Bhuvi to reverse well good on him though.

He was reversing miles. Got his length wrong, needed to pitch it up

 

[JaDed]

He was reversing miles. Got his length wrong, needed to pitch it up

Yes it was a typo,meant to say "didn't" expect and he did reverse swing.

 

[street cricketer]

Lmao Kohli being kind to Gambhir..

 

[JaDed]

Lmao Kohli being kind to Gambhir..

He ll be playing next match so he betta be

 

[sandsaims]

India winning???what a terrible pitch, a raging turner, an under prepared doctored pitch.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Congratulations India, well played.

Finished in a very dominating way.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Thanks buddy.

Good game.

 

[Ankit007]

Here we start crying... Isnt it?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Was fun to watch last 2 wickets

Number 1 in test cricket. Well done

Bhuvi saying Shami is the most lazy person in the team but he's a great character )

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Well there goes the test mace from Pakistan to India. I believe India may manage to hold onto it for a little while at least.

 

[Ankit007]

Chalo ji.

Good game.

We got #1 position finally bro after defying rain odds.... Rain delayed it but we finally have it

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I think we aren't officially number 1 yet.

Update happens after every series.

We have to avoid a defeat in Indore to keep the number 1.

 

[Sidilicious]

Did you see Bhuvi reversing it [MENTION=134408]Sidilicious[/MENTION]

haha. I missed that. But if he reversed, then he is going to be smashing.

I know its not that difficult to reverse with an SG ball and even with the Duke Ball. But how is it with the Kookabura? Can someone elaborate?

 

[Sidilicious]

I think we aren't officially number 1 yet.

We are guaranteed no.1 since we had to just win the series.

Even if he lose the next one, we are no. 1.
Though if we lose the next one, Pakistan might snatch it back by winning the series against WI.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Saha would be my MoM or worst case Bhuvi. Time to change the thread title.

Last match ke liye phatta tayar kro ji, we want daddy hundreds

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

We are guaranteed no.1 since we had to just win the series.

Even if he lose the next one, we are no. 1.
Though if we lose the next one, Pakistan might snatch it back by winning the series against WI.

No, we have to draw it which we will for sure if not sweep it.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] you said Guptill was not out?

I just checked.

Well impact was umpires call so that was out.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We are guaranteed no.1 since we had to just win the series.

Even if he lose the next one, we are no. 1.
Though if we lose the next one, Pakistan might snatch it back by winning the series against WI.

Don't think so. We can't lose Indore or number 1 goes.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Saha should be MOM.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Congrats to the ICT and all Indian fans.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

No you are right Sidilicious.

We are number 1 even if we lose the Indore test.

However if we lose that, we could lose out that ranking after the pak WI series. If we don't lose, we will have the number 1 to ourselves irrespective of Pak WI series.

[Sidilicious]

Don't think so. We can't lose Indore or number 1 goes.

Just checked the icc ranking predictor. Even if we lose the next test we become the no.1 team.

But if we lose the next test, and Pakistan whitewashes WI, Pakistan retains the no. 1 spot.

If we draw or win the next series, we remain no. 1 even if Pakistan whitewashes the WI.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

No you are right Sidilicious.

We are number 1 even if we lose the Indore test.

However if we lose that, we could lose out that ranking after the pak WI series. If we don't lose, we will have the number 1 to ourselves irrespective of Pak WI series.

http://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2016/media-releases/96355/india-guaranteed-no1-test-spot

Hmmm I thought we will be number 1 going into ENG series if we just draw the next match.

 

[Sidilicious]

No you are right Sidilicious.

We are number 1 even if we lose the Indore test.

However if we lose that, we could lose out that ranking after the pak WI series. If we don't lose, we will have the number 1 to ourselves irrespective of Pak WI series.
