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

[Saurav]

Yep, where would international cricket be without the Saffer's generous giving spirit?????

give some fast bowlers to us too

 

[Lethalweapon]

Congrats to Taylor and Van Wyk, very good innings.

 

[Lethalweapon]

Why? so that the loser captain undermines them with defensive fields?
ONE SIX was enough for Dhoni to go on the defensive.
all his talking was reserved for Ojha and Ashwin.
doesn't bother with Yadav. I see no coordination in the fields that are set and lines Yadav bowls. this was blatant specially with Ishant as well in Aus.
Why doesn't the captain RECTIFY that? shouldn't Dhoni talk to the bowler when they are bowling badly?
Don't know what the likes of Matt Prior will do looking at Van Wyk!!

thats the biggest problem with dhoni!
he rarely discusses with the bowlers

Gotta give credit to taylor, lots of skippers talk big about upping the aggression after their approach failed the match before but he actually backed it up where it matters.

Taylor's at his best when he plays aggressively. When he goes on the defensive, he's a walking wicket.

Yadav 12.3 1 71 0
Absolutely pathetic. If he can't take wickets, he can surely concede less runs? Too many boundary balls.

This is going to be a cracker of test now.

 

[leatherface58]

happy to see us do well. still not even close to being out of it. indians have a ridiculous batting lineup.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good from newzealand. Hope they manage to draw it or even win it.

 

[Justcrazy]

343 / 6

 

[Ibad17]

good stuff from NZ. 400 should be their next step

 

[Justcrazy]

NZ need to extend there total.

 

[Ibad17]

345-6.

Hope van Wyk gets his century

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Can NZ tail add some more runs here ?

 

[Ibad17]

sad to see Wyk getting out.

 

[Ibad17]

Bracewell supported Wyk and is playing nice. If he stays on the crease with the tail enders then they might get to 375+

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

[Ibad17]

Bracewell is still the hope for NZ>

 

[Ibad17]

350 up for New Zealand.

 

[Ibad17]

Tim Southee getting a boundary

NZ folding up fast.

 

[Ibad17]

poor run out. This was the worst thing New Zealand wanted..

 

[Ibad17]

365-9

 

[Justcrazy]

365 all out........... India would be happy

 

[Justcrazy]

India on here.

 

[Justcrazy]

India on top.

[Ibad17]

Big wicket there for New Zealand.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 :4

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 350 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[cricketworm]

Time for Gauti to sit out or get dropped! He is in horrible form!

 

[Justcrazy]

India have a very strong batting line up

 

[Ibad17]

New Zealand got a tough task taking this Indian line up..

 

[cricketworm]

It's been more than 2 years and he hasn't hit a 100! And being opener with that kind of form is pathetic!

 

[Justcrazy]

18 / 1

 

[Saurav]

Time for Gauti to sit out or get dropped! He is in horrible form!

agree.last ton was in Jan 2010.that too against BD.way too long a rope.time for Rahane

[Saurav]

Pujara gone for 9

[Justcrazy]

32 / 2

 

[cricketworm]

NZ bowling excellently here! They can seriously turn around this match. One guy at crease can get out anytime, Viru and another hasn't played cricket for a while now, SRT. Brilliant come back by NZ.

 

[Saurav]

I'd take a draw from here

 

[Justcrazy]

40 / 2

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 325 runs with 8 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

NZ bowling is very average

[pun500]

sehwag needs to bat rest look out of form with kohli untested and raina the worst test bat...should be rainas last test match

 

[Marshland]

Sach getting bogged down here. Wicket imminent.

 

[Justcrazy]

63 / 2

 

[Justcrazy]

Sehwag on top.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lunch approaching.

 

[Marshland]

Sehwag is reckless as hell too. Wicket imminent.

 

[violet_may]

Sachin is on 4 from 41 balls, SR of 9 point something.

& scored 35 off 34 yesterday

 

[truthseer]

 

[truthseer]

Sachin haters left dumbstruck by the great

 

[truthseer]

 

[Sandeep]

I'm sure the retirement is around the corner... Sad to see a genius getting bowled to such ordinary deliveries!!

 

[James]

Come on NZ! A long shot but it would be class to see them nick this

 

[truthseer]

I'm sure the retirement is around the corner... Sad to see a genius getting bowled to such ordinary deliveries!!

I think he'll retire after this one. Hope he gets a match winning hundred in the 2nd innings.

 

[James]

86 to avoid the follow on

 

[Sandeep]

I think he'll retire after this one. Hope he gets a match winning hundred in the 2nd innings.

hehe.,...good joke! He won't retire before the season ends... We'd gladly have Sachin scoring ducks in all matches..but he's not that type

 

[Sandeep]

86 to avoid the follow on

oh oh... Englishmen after a looong time in PP,,that too for India match... I'm delighted )

 

[James]

What? I'm always here.

Looks like Tendulkar couldn't hack it today.

 

[Marshland]

OMG are we going to beat India in India now?

 

[Sandeep]

OMG are we going to beat India in India now?

4 down 16 more to go...

 

[truthseer]

Raina looking like the ball is a grenade and a bouncer would kill him, hanging back and missing fuller balls

 

[Sandeep]

What? I'm always here.

Looks like Tendulkar couldn't hack it today.

hmm...maybe it's me that didn't see you

 

[Sandeep]

If India can get to 300-350 thereabouts, we're going to witness one helluva match

 

[Sandeep]

Great test to temperaments of Kohli and Raina

 

[Saurav]

If India can get to 300-350 thereabouts, we're going to witness one helluva match

even 250 would be tough man

 

[Sandeep]

even 250 would be tough man

hmm... lets see... I'm an optimist
