India v New Zealand | 2nd Test at Bangalore, Aug 31-Sep 4

[Marshland]

What a hit Dhonut.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Indian fans - Ojha and Yadav are total mugs with the bat, is that correct?

Ojha is an absolute mug with the bat and can give good competition for Phantom. Umesh too not very different but slightly better than Ojha.

 

[James]

lol at Raina, joke player

 

[Kwremb]

India are winning this, don't see it any other way

 

[Justcrazy]

:6 Dhoni dhun dala re

 

[velu]

Indian fans - Ojha and Yadav are total mugs with the bat, is that correct?

ojha can defend ( test average of 20 and odi average 22++ )

 

[velu]

 

[Marshland]

I don't really want to see Boult for one over more. Time for the Southee.

 

[style_guru]

India within striking range here.

 

[Marshland]

Or Bracewell. Good move.

 

[waqar goraya]

Even bracewell has a better chance than boult

 

[Marshland]

Kohli wicket imminent.

 

[Marshland]

65 runs to play with. If we don't get a wicket right now, it's time to throw the towel in.

 

[waqar goraya]

5 wickets imminent....

 

[truthseer]

Three words for all Indian fans
Hobart Bracewell Beauty

 

[Marshland]

Dhonut proving me wrong so far - I thought he was an absolutely rubbish test bat.

 

[waqar goraya]

Looking at bracewell and Southee,Kiwis can now give some tough time to batsmen specially at home..

 

[Justcrazy]

Good solid partnership.

 

[Marshland]

Dot dot dot to Kohli. He's gonna lose his head soon, surely.

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not see these two playing a rash shot , it has to be a good ball to get them

 

[Xoib]

Virat Kohli has no weakness its insane how much of a perfect bat he is.

 

[Sandeep]

I do not see these two playing a rash shot , it has to be a good ball to get them

so you hope one of them plays a rash shot..

 

[Marshland]

62 more runs to play with. Come on Blackcaps, just take the one wicket and the pressure will build.

 

[Sandeep]

Virat Kohli has no weakness its insane how much of a perfect bat he is.

you too in juscrazy mould or some sense in that statement?

 

[Marshland]

Southee will be the one to take the wicket.

 

[Xoib]

you too in juscrazy mould or some sense in that statement?

my statement will not change even if he gets out now.

Can't find one fault with his technique or temperament its like watching Ponting in his prime.

 

[Sandeep]

Southee will be the one to take the wicket.

Bracewell is close too..

 

[Marshland]

What is wrong with this umpire Ian Gould? Whenever there is a 50/50 decision he always leans in favour of the Indians!

 

[Marshland]

Bracewell is close too..

Nah he needs more juice in the pitch to be effective. Reverse swing on a dead pitch isn't something he can muster up with ease.

 

[Justcrazy]

India require another 62 runs with 5 wickets remaining

 

[Marshland]

Come on Dhonut, you should of nicked that!

 

[Sandeep]

Win or loss, New Zealand have regained respect here!

 

[Marshland]

Scoreboard's not moving....good sign.

 

[Xoib]

Win or loss, New Zealand have regained respect here!

by being whitewashed by the fifth ranked side?

 

[Saurav]

Dravid doing commentary

miss u champ

 

[Marshland]

Win or loss, New Zealand have regained respect here!

Beaten by South Africa, whitewashed by West Indies, whitewashed by India.

No respect please, thank you very much.

 

[Sandeep]

by being whitewashed by the fifth ranked side?

well, they would look at their own ranking there..

 

[Sandeep]

Beaten by South Africa, whitewashed by West Indies, whitewashed by India.

No respect please, thank you very much.

my respect ofcourse.. These guys can fight

 

[Marshland]

60 runs to play with.

 

[Justcrazy]

60 runs required

 

[Xoib]

my respect ofcourse.. These guys can fight

this is a pretty ordinary Indian side carrying atleast 4-5 passengers due to various reasons, getting whitewashed by them is pretty poor.

 

[waqar goraya]

A Newzealand win would have been more exciting and refreshing

 

[Sandeep]

Ram drills some support for NZ: "I hope for the sake of Test cricket, and for the future of Indian cricket as well, that NZ are able to pull off what will be a deserved win in this Test."

 

[Space Cat]

Slow down Dravid. Dude talks a lot faster than he bats.

 

[IndianWillow]

NZ has made a match of it. India has been made to very hard. Dhoni is keeping the score ticking, so if NZ do not get him fast, it will be over soon.

 

[Marshland]

Hasn't been a boundary ball for a while now...

 

[Sandeep]

this is a pretty ordinary Indian side carrying atleast 4-5 passengers due to various reasons, getting whitewashed by them is pretty poor.

don't talk like your team is an angel...take out ajmal and your team is as ordinary as we are

 

[Senman]

this is a pretty ordinary Indian side carrying atleast 4-5 passengers due to various reasons, getting whitewashed by them is pretty poor.

No. Its India in India, drawing the series is a very big achievement. NZ really putting up a great show.

 

[Xoib]

don't talk like your team is an angel...take out ajmal and your team is as ordinary as we are

Pakistan is a rubbish side without Ajmal, how does that change the fact that Indian side is anything other then average?

 

[Sandeep]

Pakistan is a rubbish side without Ajmal, how does that change the fact that Indian side is anything other then average?

yes we are average...but sad that rubbish sides are ahead of us

 

[truthseer]

yes we are average...but sad that rubbish sides are ahead of us

Ajmal is in the side. What if I say India is a minnow without Kohli?

 

[Xoib]

yup hence a whitewash against this Indian side leaves a very sorry picture for NZ cricket.

 

[Marshland]

Decent sized crowd in today.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Loads of pressure applied by NZ pacers. MSD and Kohli struggling to rotate the strike.

 

[Marshland]

I think that India > Pakistan tbh.

 

[Justcrazy]

India require another 57 runs with 5 wickets remaining

 

[Sandeep]

yup hence a whitewash against this Indian side leaves a very sorry picture for NZ cricket.

Ok Sir..accepted, India is the worst side you can get... now get back to the game

 

[BaaliSoda]

At last a boundary. superb cover drive from Kohli for 4.

 

[Sandeep]

Virat batting... Dravid commentating... Can it get any better for an Indian fan!

 

[Marshland]

57 more to get.

 

[praveen]

whoa 5 down.

Dhoni playing a innings of substance, India still the favourites here. Irrespective of the result, there is a lot to take away from this match for both the sides.

Just as we found a replacement for Dravid and Lax, looks like we now need to start finding replacements for Gambhir, sehwag, Sachin,Raina and Zaheer. Damn

 

[Sandeep]

For the moment, I'd bring Rahane in for Raina

 

[BaaliSoda]

Trent Boult gotta be brought back from the other end

 

[waqar goraya]

I think that India > Pakistan tbh.

Not really!!!Test batting is almost at par as Sehwag and Tendulkar have not much left in them and Raina and Dhoni are not test players at all..... and Pakistan are a better bowling unit

 

[ahamedirshad123]

50 needed, 5 wickets in hand. Hobart!!

 

[praveen]

For the moment, I'd bring Rahane in for Raina

This thinking has always been our problem. But i agree with your solution.

 

[Senman]

I Pathan for Raina, Rahane for SRT.

 

[Marshland]

Time for some drinks.

 

[BaaliSoda]

LMAO! last paragraph had me in fits

 

[style_guru]

The Kiwi bowlers have been bowling really well here.

I can safely say that although the results do not suggest so, but this NZ side is a pretty good one.

It's a shame that they're compared to BD these days

 

[Marshland]

Not really!!!Test batting is almost at par as Sehwag and Tendulkar have not much left in them and Raina and Dhoni are not test players at all..... and Pakistan are a better bowling unit

Explain to me then how India were able to win in the West Indies, draw in South Africa, etc.

 

[Justcrazy]

India require another 47 runs with 5 wickets remaining

 

[Marshland]

Game over.

 

[Maximas]

I'm hearing lot of tapping sound arround.

 

[Marshland]

41 runs more, just can't see us winning, no.

 

[Senman]

Game over.

We are not Australia or England, when it comes to collapse only South Africa has an edge over us. Game is still on.

 

[Justcrazy]

So , My prediction about NZ loosing by 5 wickets is true

 

[velu]

we need another 36 runs

 

[praveen]

Just 36 required now. C'mon captain finish it off in style.

 

[truthseer]

Good bowl
