"India can't be regarded a great team till they start winning in places like NZ, England": M Vaughan

Never rated the current Indian batting line up compared to the likes of Sehwag, lakshman, tendulkar, Dravid, ganguly, dohni, this batting line up is not a patch on that bar kohli

Do they have a settled line to start with? I think it has 3-4 new batsmen.
 
New Zealand are so strong at home. I am really not confident of winning there.

Kohli himself is barely on the level of Dravid in tests. Dravid averaged like 59 in his peak. Kohli average's 53 atm which is the same as Tendulkar's final career average after 2 dreadful final years.

Pujara is worse than Sehwag, Ganguly and Laxman. As for the rest...lol
 
There is no need for the excessive celebration from Pakistani fans.

India is a top team across all formats and will remain so for at least another decade.

We must not forget that India has been fielding 4 rookies in their batting line-up. Barring Kohli, Pujara, and Rahane, the rest of the Indian batting unit has not even played 50 tests collectively. Still then, they are not getting demolished like other teams outside their home.

India has been dominating at home and very competitive overseas. This is good enough for a team to be called a great team. This is just a hiccup. I have no doubt that the same team will win series in every country in the next 10 years.
 
Maybe not winning but we will surely play better than India did.

I personally am quite confident that we can win in NZ.
If Conway and Young are the truth, I don't see you doing well.

4 pacers is the way to go as well, no need to have a token spinner meaning no relief for Pakistan.

Latham
Conway
Kane
Taylor
Young
Watling
CdG
Jamieson
Southee
Boult
Wagner

That is probably our strongest team possible and will be a lot stronger than the team that just beat India.

India also missed bhuvi and pandya who would have added balance in n.z. balance is key. ishant also missed the second test. 4 new players. So considering all these factors it was a good effort. You guys are forgetting how good bhuvi is in swing conditons.

india will 100% bounce back.

difference was we had some new and raw players.
 
but I am Impressed. very very impressed
This is such a great n.z side.

Had jamieson played vs Aussies, results would have been a lot closer in that series.

feel like they just have a mental block.
 
new zeland were never this strong at home. Their current team is probably their best ever along with mcculum's n.z

I don’t think they lost a home test series in the eighties. They had arguably the best green wicket bowler in history, supported by some effective seamers, and a competent batting unit. And that was before most of them were professional cricketers.

We lost last time we played in NZ. New Zealand beat most teams at home.

Don't see where your confidence is coming from. Potentially we could be carrying Azhar,Asad, and Yasir who are past their best as well.
