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

[Aman]

It's turning crazy on the first day.

What a pathetic pitch

I wish it was turning as much as you're making it out.

 

[Aman]

If India are 200/5 on this wicket, I wonder how they would go on a turner

India can still make a big total if these two stick around. Hopefully we get these two quickly and wrap it up for a below par score.

Watch series against SA and you would get your answer and then also watch SA's response as to how the tourists would fare.

 

[Aman]

I would be bowling Wagner at these two.

 

[Syed1]

Lack of DRS saves Sharma.

 

[Aman]

Lack of DRS saves Sharma.

It wouldn't have been out with DRS.

 

[street cricketer]

Sharma leading the Indian charge.

Talk nah people!

 

[street cricketer]

There are so many battles within this series.

Kohli vs Williamson
Rohit vs Guptill, etc.

 

[JaDed]

Feel we are a bowler short.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

At what pace is Boult bowling?

 

[nish_mate]

At what pace is Boult bowling?

83ish mph

 

[nish_mate]

Double nelson hopping on one leg

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I will be surprised if Kiwis score 200 against Ashwin and Jadeja, maximum they will score 150.

 

[Hasan123]

chal pagle apno ki nazar thode laaagti hai

We are world number one. We don't fear no opposition bro.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

83ish mph

Thanks man

 

[#GreenRoars]

Woow woow my boy Vijay top scorer.

Kohli should learn from him that how to bat in Test matches.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sharma leading the Indian charge.

Talk nah people!

How is pitch??

 

[Executioner]

India has a long batting lineup it would seem. Jadeja at no. 9

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

How is pitch??

Normal track.

India lullooing.

Careless batting.

 

[street cricketer]

How is pitch??

Was good to bat on initially with the odd ball holding up but now it has started turning. A typical Indian pitch of the old that starts turning with time as the ball gets soft. Not as bad as the Saffer series ones.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India can still get 350-400 here which will be a big 1st inns score on this surface.

 

[nish_mate]

We are world number one. We don't fear no opposition bro.

other than lack of rain

 

[street cricketer]

Batsmen should be wary of Santner's sliders (got a nice ring to it).

Wagner is employing the short ball well.

 

[Hasan123]

other than lack of rain

We can't control the weather

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

More accurate I guess.

Dunno if NZ have started not bowling well or pitch looks easier now or that ball has gotten soft.

Or just that these 2 are batting well.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Oh well....new ball.

 

[JaDed]

Rohit will not survive the day imo.

 

[street cricketer]

Ashwin gets so much runs from that backward point region. It's his bread and butter area.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Rohit you LOSERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Anyways, good for India.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

ye rohit doing his usual

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic dismissal from rohit

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Manjrekar, Gavaskar and all - What do you have to say now?

And you guys have the guts to mock Bhogle.

lol.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

One of the most soft dismissals ever in the history of the game, lol.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Rohit 50 is far more worse.

This is the perfect way to go out.

Get the 30...bail us out and get out so that we can soon throw you out.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

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?

calm down just living the moment... NZL gonna bat last inns on this rank turner... Need exceptional batting from NZL to save this test match..

 

[street cricketer]

It's confirmed lol.

Rohit Sharma is the Umar Akmal of India.

 

[JaDed]

Back to Saha-Ash ,not like that wasn't expected

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

that was a ashrafool shot lol

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

It's confirmed lol.

Rohit Sharma is the Umar Akmal of India.

Umar Akmal has done more in tests than Sharma.

 

[TestMatch]

Can India please drop Rohit.

 

[JaDed]

Saha gone this is goner now

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Saha now out.

lol

) ) )

You can only laugh at the dumbassery of Rohit.

 

[JaDed]

6 overs they are not able to handle argh

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Can India please drop Rohit.

I would give Rohit the test bat for FREE to any country.

FREE.

In fact, I would pay someone to take him away.

 

[Hasan123]

Umar Akmal has done more in tests than Sharma.

Loool had Akmal been given the amount of chances rohit has in tests who knows what it could have done for his career.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Dhoni would have smashed that for a six , saha

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

5 minutes back....Ashwin could have got out also

Boult to Ashwin, no run, inside edge onto pad! Ashwin opts for a rather lazy drive - on the up and well outside off, could have been left alone with the angle over the wicket.

---

Let's see if we survive till the end of the day.

 

[OS_89]

Rohit brainfarts are never far away. What a disgrace of a batsman.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Probably the first loose shot by him.

Edit: Was referring to Ashwin.

Rohit's first loose shot comes every over.

 

[Hasan123]

Hopefully Boult gets his form back. Cracking ball there. Pressure on India now. Decision not to play 3 spinners could cost India

 

[molajutt]

Dhoni would have smashed that for a six , saha

That was a good ball.

 

[street cricketer]

Rohit 50 is far more worse.

This is the perfect way to go out.

Get the 30...bail us out and get out so that we can soon throw you out.

Lmao this is what I was thinking. Kohli and the likes of Shastri have this weird fetish with Rohit in test cricket that he is some sort of Gilchrist like player who can change the game in a session. Ditto with Dhawan bhai. They have to realise playing patient old school cricket is the best form of playing test cricket. Learn from the parosees. They have to pick players with actual test match temperament for test cricket. Atleast this will make Pandey debut sooner. Or if you want to waste one place for the assigned "dasher", atleast pick Jackson. I'm sure he will score a 50 once in a while.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Boult to Saha, OUT, tip your hat to the bowler and head off for a cup of tea, because that was unplayable. An inswinger that defies the docile pitch and the lack of atmospheric help. It's that SG seam. So prominent. So useful in the hands of a good bowler. Boult pitches it on middle and off and jerks it in through the gap between bat and pad

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Umar Akmal has done more in tests than Sharma.

I don't know though, U. Akmal has actually made me hate the word "talent"

 

[OS_89]

Dhoni would have smashed that for a six , saha

lol wat. That was an excellent ball.

Rohit is a complete poophead. Gets out with the new ball in hand with only 6 overs left. Stupidest cricketer of all time.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

That was a good ball.

he played it awkwardly, only a little movement

 

[street cricketer]

Umar Akmal has done more in tests than Sharma.

I agree, just comparing their temperament and their way of getting out.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I don't know though, U. Akmal has actually made me hate the word "talent"

Don't get me wrong.

Akmal is a brainless joker too. Just that he has done more in tests than Sharma.

And yes, I hate the word talent too.

And hate those commies who use the word talent for those who have no temperament.

 

[street cricketer]

Anyway the Don has come to the crease.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

time for jaddu to score a 300

 

[OS_89]

Umar atleast had some notable innings in tests. His debut against a fire breathing Bond was superb. The best thing Rohit has done so far is bash a hopeless West Indies attack at home.

 

[JaDed]

Ash not looking against Boult

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ball is moving around.

2nd new ball is doing stuff.

 

[street cricketer]

Amazing when you think that Sir was the butt of all jokes from Indian fans just 3 years ago and now he is an integral player in the team while Rohit has taken Sir's place 3 years ago.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Umar atleast had some notable innings in tests. His debut against a fire breathing Bond was superb. The best thing Rohit has done so far is bash a hopeless West Indies attack at home.

His Shillingford knock was really good.

But yeah...

 

[JaDed]

AS expected Ash out

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Damn Ashwin...kya yaar....

 

[JaDed]

Damn Ashwin...kya yaar....

It was a good ball

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pitch gripped.

 

[Hasan123]

Unreal ball and good captaincy by Williamson

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

India has enough runs on the board, I don't see Kiwis scoring more than 150.

 

[street cricketer]

Wow Boult is making the new ball talk!

 

[JaDed]

Never been a fan of boult but he does have abilities.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

It was a good ball

Yeah..really good ball but should have played it even straighter.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ashwin really looked good today.

Except for the false inside edge stroke against Boult which he survived.

Boult was going through a good spell and if he had survived, we may have seen 350 or 325.

Now even 300 is hard.

 

[street cricketer]

Sir to hit a quickfire ton here.

 

[OS_89]

Let's have a round of applause for Rohit for exposing the lower order to the second new ball.

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Don't get me wrong.

Akmal is a brainless joker too. Just that he has done more in tests than Sharma.

And yes, I hate the word talent too.

And hate those commies who use the word talent for those who have no temperament.

Talent doesn't do jack unless you have the work ethic, as is the case with Akmal. Though I'm most looking forward to seeing who the bigger failure is between Rohit and Guptill

 

[#GreenRoars]

300+ should be good score considering Indian lethal bowling attack.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Kohli was right.

Rohit DID indeed change the match in a session.
