What's new

India v New Zealand | 1st Test | Kanpur | Sep 22-26, 2016 | Day 1

We really need 400 here.

If one wicket falls, its like 2 wickets falling.

Need these two to stay.

Kohli is just so unpredictable. Damn.
 
Atrocious from Kohli. With Wagner bowler, getting out hooking is unforgivable. It's not as though it's a surprise delivery.
 
Lmao steady on there guys.

We might just have to depend on Rohit to bail us out of trouble here.

What a wonderful situation it would be.:narine

Cricinfo says: Wagner has got him thrice in 77 balls to kohli altogether and kohli avg 14.66 against Wagner, something to think about...
 
Really need 400 guys.

Can't believe we are 184-3.

Could have easily been 184-1.

Even that 1 wicket was unnecessary.

Heard Rahul was playing carelessly fast today without getting to the pitch of the ball.
 
[MENTION=142266]Thor[/MENTION] You know now why 320/4 would be good at the end of day's play? Hopefully you got your answer.
 
Just a question to the playing XI selectors, Why was M. Vijay dropped for test (in WI) again?
 
This Indian side isn't great.

They can't punish you and lack patience.
 
NZ have the spinners to trouble indian batsman. If you are still unsure look at that T20 game against NZ in the World Cup.
 
Virat Kohli's batting average against Neil Wagner in Tests. Wagner has dismissed Kohli three times in 77 balls.

cricinfo

I wonder how many times Jimmy dismissed Kohli & Sachin.
 
lol hold your horses wait atleast you face Ashwin and Jadeja.

Nah..what he said is right.

They are pointlessly throwing away wickets.

Its not some amazing bowling.

This is where Pakistan really buries opposition.

But I have hope with Vijay, Pujara, Rahul in long term in Asia regardless of this innings screw ups.

Kohli isn't that effective in Asia and Rahane mostly isn't all that amazing as he is outside Asia.

If Rohit gets replaced with a proper bat and Rahane finds his zone, then this would be a good lineup.
 
Jadeja at #9 so we do bat deep. I still expect us to get to 350 atleast.

Pakistan in the same conditions would have put up scores of 500 for the loss of 3 or 4 wickets..

Not 500/3 or 500/4.

This is no patta and even ATG teams in patta rarely score 500/3.

But they would score 500+ runs in first innings and put pressure.

The pitch is turning (slow spin) and is reversing.

But Indians threw away their wickets.

It's a slow wicket with very few balls gripping and turning, it should be easy for SC sides to bat on.
 
105 runs @ 3.38 in the first session.
80 @ 2.85 in the second session.

You were scoring at a decent rate in the first half of the first session.

Maybe that's why the perception.

Actually second session was above 3 too but later on slidto 2.85.

3.3 is very good for Asian conditions.
 
In recent times it seems to go back to Saha-Ash to get us further hope this time its not the same.
 
If some of you are looking for bans then I can help

Otherwise post sensible stuff
 
Great session for NZ. Seem like they've got the most effective spin attack out of all touring sides to India this winter.
 
What a loser mentality. If you really want to cling on to number 1 ranking why not go and defeat teams like Aus and Sa in their den than depending on other teams?

True.. that is exactly what India has been doing
 
Damm just woken up to see the score. The kiwi spinners have been effective, Indian posters were right about you playing spin some poor shots have been played it seems.
 
Not if the wickets were thrown away.

Only Kohli threw away his wicket and you could include Vijay as he tried cutting a ball that was too close.

Neither of Rahul and Pujara threw their wickets away. Darters and sliders were always going to be potent here as the pitch holds up at some deliveries and rears up at some. I think it will start misbehaving more in the coming days.
 
Rohit can get India into a match winning position or he could put India in a akwarad situation. Rahane is a solid reliable batsmen, no worries about him.

Soft dismissal. Lazy batting. Constitutes as throwing away.

Rahul just got casual.
 
Good to see some crowd in to watch tests in Asia- Indians showing parosees how to fill stadiums for tests
 
NZ need to bat well here to show what they got. Pretty decent effort by ball so far

Rohiot will score a troll 100 here and continue to frustrate Indian fans
 
Some people think Rohit has replaced Sehwag but lol its not even a contest.
 
It's turning crazy on the first day.

What a pathetic pitch
