PDTM: "I hate Indian pitches. They are dead, and actually cause defensive captaincy. The only real way to take wickets is to spin the ball away (or both ways), which doesn't give everyone a chance. Bored."

bob: "Why to blame the indian pitches. Food, culture, weather, people,dresses everything is different in different countries. This is what you get when you play here mate - Live with it!"
 
Sundar: "@PDTM : Someday I would like someone to define the meaning of the term "Dead Pitches". The ball is swinging a bit and there is some turn as well. So the bowlers have some chance. Day 2 pitches are batting beauties even at perth. Plus, people who criticize Indian pitches as batting beauties ignore the inconvenient fact that overseas batsmen struggle to score. Then there is the argument that they are doctored turners. Then how do explain overseas spinners being not that effective here. And this include the likes of Warne, Murali, Vettori, Swan, etc. And of the answer to that is that Indian batsmen are good players of spin, is that their fault that they are so? Also they cannot be batting beauties and doctored turners at the same time. This one here is neither. I think this is a good cricket wicket and we are seeing a good test match."
 
Boult has bowled really really well, but has gone wicketless the poor fellow.
 
yeah,its India's day after that initial collapse they batted really well..

It would be gr8 to see centuries from kohli and MSD t'rrow!
 
NZ have lost the advantage. They could still take a small lead, but looks like Kohli is in no mood to allow that.

Regarding some comments on Kohli here, he is definitely a gun in ODIs. He is yet to establish himself in the test arena, though he holds promise. Do not hype him yet, he has miles to go before he could be called a star test batsman.
 
Youngsters are saving the day and senior players are still playing crap cricket. Why am I not surprised!

India need at least 200 runs here!
 
Random Aussie said:
Yes it would be, what does he average now? 40?

Cheerleaders need to calm down, he is a gun ODI bat and a promising Test bat. Might need to average somewhere near 50+ first. A run of good form does not MVP make.

ok. Let Virat complete this season, we'll talk about averages then..
 
Kohli gets to his ton with a :four

Very well played young lad, you are a legend in the making and a blessing for India! :14:

Although this match is played on a dead wicket, Kohli is a class player.

Style main rahne ka or century marne ka! Majani life!
 
Kya yaar! Shouldn't have left!

Koi nayii! MSD and Ashwin! CSK TIME!
 
If you bowl good on this wicket, you will surely be rewarded, that kind of pitch this is.
 
Hmmmm almost got MSD out! Bracewell always bowls well with new ball. Swings and seam quite a bit.
 
LOL what does MSD do next ball? Came up to crease, destroyed the swing and whip toward mid wicket....
 
And that coming down made Bracewell bowl out side off .... 4

next ball


Bracewell came back strong!


this is called tight test cricket!

@Indians- On tracks like this, won't England bowlers have a field day?

Honestly, don't know how well England would have bowled better than NZ, as NZ has bowled pretty well here. Seeing how England bowled against SA, I am not too sure anymore.
 
May be not! May be height!

NZ on top! Need at least 50 runs lead somehow!
 
Southee has bowled pretty well after getting picked! Amazing line and length!
 
India trail by 47 runs with 3 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

india will get a lead here. Indian tail can bat
 
Zak not looking to waste any time here. :))

Anyways, sleep time. Good luck to both teams. Nighters to my fellow PPers! :)
 
Ashwin need to play big role if we want to reduce this lead! Come On! CSK boy this your home ground.
