What's new

India defeat New Zealand by 321 runs to take series 3-0

All in all this NZ side is not as bad as people are making them out to be.They just need 3-4 good bankable players young enough to build a strong core group so that they can again start beating sides regularly.Just need to pick players on merit.Some of their senior guys must also stand up(Taylor, Watling). Atm there seems to be tremendous pressure on Kane and imo he can't keep carrying on like this.
[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] I have heard a bit about Jeet Raval. Is he any good over Guptill?

No idea, they don't televise domestic cricket in NZ.
 
Mubarak.

Moves to 70% (0.695) wickets taken at home.

He's proving my point :))

BTW a Batsman named Kane Williamson averages 57 in NZ(home/flat pitches)
55 in Australia(Pancakes)
52 in UAE(Roads)
51 in WI(poor team and flat pitches)

But moment he steps out of these highways , his record gets poor
30 in Eng in 4 matches
35 in India in 7 matches
21 in SA in 4 matches
and just 'average' in SL with avg of 40 in 2 matches.
and this man is hailed as next big thing from NZ and their only hope. and he has played much more matches in unfavorable conditions than ashwin and still has poor record.

Kane Williamson isn't an all time great with all time great numbers (he's just got his average up to 50).

Even then, he's still way more proven than Ashwin with 100's in India and England.

Ashwin has yet to do anything of note outside the SC (not including WI).

Lmao wth

Windies certainly doesn't have flat pitches

And all of a sudden UAE is flat track but when Yasir takes wickets and foreign batsmen struggle it's spin wickets

Atleast pick a story and stick to it

There is a 5 test series in 2018. Will b interesting to see how he goes there. Will want the batting to step up though to apply pressure from the spinners. Tough to get 5fers when our batsmen fall like a pack of cards.
 
Congrats to the Indian cricket team n supporters. Commiserations NZ. Fight was missing on many occasions.
Ashwin has improved lots. He is def a gun player now, and cannot be ignored.


Infact, all his wickets column all across the series should be incremented by 1. Aman been stumped, rattled and left in disarray by Ashwin comprehensively. :murali

By 6.

6 innings. ;-)
 
Congratulations Team India, well deserved. So when will Kohli get the Test mace? :misbah

I don't watch Test matches, just read the scorecard.
 
But he won 2 games for us. It's a case of stats being misleading. 2nd and 3rd test he didn't adjust correctly.

He was bowling too fast on flat surface. His style is suited for surfaces having some assistance for spinner. But that's true for pretty much every spinner.

He doesn't have a good flipper and a good googley. Needs to develop these to improve on overseas pitches.

lol 'just 50'. there are some ATG Batsman who average is quite similar to Kane. like ponting, gavaskar(51 is not much higher than just 50). so, going by your logic of styen/Waqar vs ashwin. ponting/gavaskar vs Williamson also seems valid. ain't it?
there are some very good players who average less than Kane like Cook and G. Smith. Kane is in now way better than cook or Smith because he has inflated his stats by playing on highways.
mate if you can criticize ashwin on same logic why can't you do that for Williamson? hypocrisy?
 
Pujara had a close shot to be MOS too.

Unfortunately, Ash is just too good for anyone these days to become MOS at home conditions.

7 MOS for him now.
