What's new

New Zealand (235 & 174) defeat India (263 & 121) by 25 runs in the 3rd Test to complete a memorable 3-0 whitewash

Golden period of Indian Cricket buried completely... We carried a spineless Kohli for so long and gave him prime importance/spotlight (I would have not bothered even if he was given a secondary role - like batting at No.5, 6...)
 
Brilliant fielding by Matt henry and runout...
What a waste of wickets for virat and yash....
we could have been here on 80 / 1 .....What a supreme waste...
 
India gifted the last 3 wickets to NZ.

First Jaiswal played a brainless reverse sweep when the day was coming to an end. Then Siraj who is a blind slogger. Ashwin or Sundar should have been sent. They are proper batsmen.
Kohli was unfortunate, but his brainless run was due to his poor form. He wanted to get off the strike at any cost and in the end paid the price.

I still expect India to get some lead. Not much though. Thankfully, the real batting power of India (Ash/Jaddu/Washi) are still in tact.

who gives a truck for pahadgunj pakitmaar playing the Panvel pirates complete with their paint spill inspired uniforms, artificial hype and screeching tv anchors...the whole IPL auction is one smorgasbord of obscene money and undignified horse trading of human flesh/players....hopefully in my day and age i will get to see that one indian player who refuses to be traded/brought/sold or whatever the fancy jargon may be, looks them in the eye and tells them 'no one owns me but me'.....
my only interest in eye pee yell is hoping that we unearth a player with potential....like umraan/mayank yadav/jazzi bumrah/hardik/washi etc....rest even their own families have forgotten who did what in what match - test cric is the real thing....
if he became the highest paid indian player, geez thats a big gong to wear around his neck and hope he justifes this ....starting from 2nd innings in mumbai

IND vs NZ, 3rd Test: Jadeja returns to form but India lose control on Day 1​


Ravindra Jadeja was the star with the ball but India lost control on Day 1 in the Mumbai Test on Friday, October 1. Jadeja ended with figures of 5 for 65 as New Zealand were bundled out for 235 runs, despite Daryl Mitchell's 82 and Will Young's 71. On a hot and humid day at the Wankhede stadium, Jadeja turned the game in the third one after the first 2 were evenly shared by both teams at the Wankhede stadium.

India seemed to be in control before the wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammed Siraj and Virat Kohli gave New Zealand some momentum heading into Day 2. New Zealand would win the toss and had no hesitation to bat first at the Wankhede stadium. They were without the services of Mitchell Santner, who was ruled out of the game due to a side strain. Tim Southee was also out of the side as the visitors brought in Matt Henry and Ish Sodhi.

The start from the openers was a cautious one, before Akash Deep provided India with an early breakthrough. The pacer was able to trap Devon Conway in front of the stumps and a review was wasted by New Zealand. Young would join his captain Tom Latham at the crease and the duo would quickly steady the innings. Young and Latham would add 44 runs before Washington Sundar entered the fray to spin some magic to give India the edge.

Sundar first cleaned up Latham with an absolute beauty, and then he would continue to haunt Rachin Ravindra in this series. The off-spinner would dismiss Rachin for the third time in as many innings with a ball that was similar to the dismissal of Latham.

Mitchell and Young would then ensure there was no further damage to the visitors and got them to 92 runs in 27 overs for the loss of 3 wickets at Lunch.

Following the break, Young would continue to show his good form and scored 71 and started to frustrate the Indian bowlers and Rohit Sharma. The players would start getting troubled by the Mumbai heat with Mitchell facing the brunt of it.

Long and extended drinks breaks started to become a norm with umbrellas also coming out at the Wankhede stadium. More than the heat, Young and Mitchell's partnership of 87 was slowly giving the visitors the momentum before Jadeja would enter the fray to change the game.

He would dismiss Young first as Rohit took a good catch at slips and the all-rounder would claim the wicket of Tom Blundell with a fine delivery to take 2 in the over. Glenn Phillips offered some support to Mitchell, who was clearly struggling to deal with the heat but slowly got to his fifty.

But then, Jadeja would give India the edge heading into tea as he cleaned up Glenn Phillips as New Zealand would get to 192 for 6. The break came at a vital time for Mitchell, who clearly shifted gears and started to attack the Indian bowlers.

However, support slowly started to fade at the other end as Jadeja picked up Ish Sodhi first and followed it up with Matt Henry in the same over. This meant Mitchell went into overdrive as he hit a couple of sixes off Sundar as he was slowly approaching the 100-run mark.

But a sensational catch from Rohit ended Mitchell's innings at 82 as India closed in for the kill. A six from Ajaz Patel would bring in some excitement, but he was trapped infront of the stumps as New Zealand were bundled out for 235.

The Indian innings was off to a sedate start, atleast from Yashasvi Jaiswal's end. But Rohit would entertain the crowd with 2 glorious shots as the hosts were up and running. Jaiswal took 16 balls to finally get off the mark in the same over where Rohit would hit his 3rd boundary.

Jaiswal was able to break the shackles against Ajaz Patel with a boundary but Rohit would have a lucky break against the same bowler as an edge would just go past slips. But his luck would run out as Rohit was completely undone by Matt Henry and he would hole out to slips as Wankhede went into silence.

Ajaz slowly started to trouble Gill as the Indian batter was able to survive by the skin of his teeth. But Jaiswal slowly started to gain confidence as he was able to score 10 off Glenn Phillips' over. Gill would also gain some confidence with a couple of boundaries off Ajaz as India would get past the 50-run mark.

Gill would flex his muscles with a six off Phillips as the duo would get their partnership above 50. But a poor shot from Jaiswal meant India lost their 2nd wicket in the final few overs of the day. India's night watchman option would also fail as Mohammed Siraj was dismissed for a duck.

New Zealand is well and truly becoming the new father of India. It all comes to down to India’s best player Pant again. His innings will go a long way in determining which way the match swings from this point.

Advantage New Zealand right now.

by that logic - whats Australia in Australia for your guys....Ancestors? :ua
 
India is winning this test. Just take a chill

Rohit and Kohli are useless these day and Siraj is another wicket.

Only Jaiswal wicket was important .lots of batting left so nothing to worry.
 
Sickening that T20 has ruined Test cricket and players priorities have changed like Southee and Santner being rested due to workload, same way Hardik Pandya not interested in Test cricket.
 
NZ could very well take a lead tomorrow given the way that India have bated in this series.

Southee is old now and Santner had a side strain
 
While talking to local broadcast media, Anil Kumble:

"You can't have this repeatedly happening in every game, so it's more than a concern at the moment. You had an opportunity to get inside with just one wicket down of Rohit Sharma. And then yes, Jaiswal gets out and the night watchman comes in and gets out first ball, then this (Kohli run-out)."

Stokes has failed more often than not for the last 4 years and he is captain of England. Same for Ollie Pope and Crawley.

For NZ, there is Tom Latham.

Pakistan, Shan Masood.

Markram for South Africa.

Until recently, even Warner was being carried despite averaging only 33 in this decade.

None of the players you mentioned have performed as poorly as Kohli has during the last 5 years except Shani who we all know is parchi he's not there on merit

Warner has not been worse then kohli in tests. Warner was always a poor man's sehwag in test and he consistently remained that throughout his test career while

Kohli fell from the class of Lara all the way to the class of Yousaf and younis and now has fallen to the class of laxman, If he continues his career trajectory, he'll fall into irrelevance.

Kohli Has had the worst regression out of any test player in history.

Latham was never a good player to begin with and was always overrated in tests. He's a bang avg player so he shouldn't even be mentioned here.

Same with Shan Masood, Shan masood is a garbage player and is 100x worse then Latham so idkw he's being mentioned. Him being captain has more to do with how stupid and nepotistic pcb is.

And Makram isn't a good test player at all? Just a decent whiteball player.

The point isn't about comparisons and this side is carrying this trash or that trash.

The point is Kohli unlike the players you mentioned was genuinely in the class of Prime Smith, Lara, Sachin, Sanga(Without gloves) etc etc. However his regression is far worse then anything I've ever seen.

The other players you mentioned have always been consistently medicore in test lol.
 
I didn’t like the way the Sarfaraz was mocking Rachin for getting bowled. Firstly, Rachin is a far better cricketer than this guy ever will be. Secondly, you don’t act like this when your team have been humiliated.

Hopefully he will get a taste of his own medicine tomorrow and not just the vada pavs that he can’t seem to have too much of.

India have a tendency of celebrating dead rubber wins with tremendous excitement and energy. Who can forget their embarrassing celebrations when they won the dead rubber ODI vs Pakistan in 2013.

They would probably do a victory lap here if they end up stopping the Kiwis from winning 3-0.

Warner averaged something like 33 this decade. That's as bad as Kohli's slump.

Warner ended his Test career with an average of 45 which is excellent for an opener.

Kohli on the other hand is on his way to ending his career with an average 46-47, which really poor for a middle-order batsman let alone for someone who has the reputation and stardom of a GOAT.

The difference is Warner was always a poor Man's Sehwag in test.

He had a horrific 2021 in test. Then in 2022 he has a test double century and continued to remain a hone track bully throughout 2023 in tests.

Kohli in 2021, 2022 and 2024 has been averaging in the high 20's and his test form is far worse then Warner to the point that he can't even dominate at home. And unlike Warner, kohli doesn't have a century during this time period.

Kohli in 2023 came back to life as he had a terrific Whiteball and test form last year but in 2024 he's gone back to his old merry ways.

Warner has been outperforming Kohli since 2019 in test excluding 2023.

Again, there is no point to this reply. I was merely pointing out that players have been continuously backed despite extended slumps and not just by BCCI .

It's wrong. Never said it wasnt. But it's not exclusive to India.

NZ keep backing Conway and Williamson in T20's. Australia has backed Stoinis in ODIs despite being absolute garbage for 5-6 years now etc.
 
India has enjoyed the luxury of producing three top quality test players in form of Ashwin, Jadeja and Bumrah.

Ashwin and Bumrah are among the two greatest bowlers of this generation while Jadeja is the best test all rounder of this generation and the best since Jacques Kallis.

Kohli has declined heavily otherwise he was a great test player too but now has declined to Pietersen and Amla level. However, as all format player, he still will go down as one of the best to have played the game.

Do you not understand English?

I said he is best all rounder since Kallis.

Earlier in morning also I said Ashwin is top 40 cricketer level and you read it as top 1 cricketer.

I suggest if you do not understand English then you should educate yourself because we cannot help you educate in other languages or send an audio to understand the point. :rabada2

Not like you who once fooled by arguing how Stokes with average of 36 is way better batsman than Jadeja but with a bowling avg difference of 8.00, he is not way inferior to Jadeja as bowler lmao :facepalm
 
Ashwin and Jadeja are ATG level test cricketers. Their stats prove their credibility unlike some random XYZ batsman who perform once in a blue moon and gets hyped as greats of the game by the pretenders.
 
from 78/1 to 85/4 , it is clear Indian Test cricket is in for rough times for next 2-3 years . I hope Kohli [ who ran himself out ] retires , he was averaging 55 & it is down to 48 - he WAS a terrific player but this 4 year bad patch is too big 2 ignore ! Rohit & Ashwin & perhaps Jadeja will go too in near future , KL is mediocre , IND has Wash , Kuldeep & Axar so spin is not a issue , what we need is young batters of quality to settle which will take 2 years imo !

What happened to your favorite and best batsman in the world Shubman Gill?
 
Daryl Mitchell told the media after end of play at Day 1 of 3rd Test:

"We put a total on the board (and) hopefully now we can take a few more wickets. We'll see what happens tomorrow (day two). The game is evenly poised right at the moment."

"It's the nature of red soil here in this part of the world. It's going to have a bit of bounce and a little bit of turn. We knew what we were expecting when we showed up this morning."

"It was pretty warm out there. The humidity was pretty sticky and there wasn't a lot of breeze. Us Kiwis, coming from down in the middle of winter back home, it's always a good challenge."

"We're just a bunch of Kiwis taking on the world, having fun and trying to win games for our country. Hopefully, we can just keep chipping away like Kiwis do and we'll see what happens over the next few days."

"That's the nature of Test cricket. There's always ebbs and flows throughout days. We were lucky to build some pressure. There was a nice partnership going there between Shubman and Jaiswal. I thought they played really well."

Forget about any series now. What India needs to do is to focus on winning at least four tests out of six to make it to the WTC final. Not going to be easy with Australia and NZ biting at India's heels. Heck, even Sri lanka is in the running.
