New Zealand (259 & 255) beat India (156 & 245) convincingly in the 2nd Test by 113 runs to seal a 3-Test series victory (2-0) with one match remaining

[mango_bite77]

Congratulations to NZ for a series win, one of their biggest achievements till date.

This Indian team deserve to lose despite having batting till 9.

Picture abi baki hai bhai, don't loose hope.

 

[gazza619]

Just watched a bit of this game. The ball is turning miles as compared to Pindi. There is also a lot of bounce

 

[batandballbattle]

Criticism from all sides with plenty of test career write offs already penned. This is the perfect stage for Kohli to prove his doubters wrong.

 

[Usergame]

Unfortunately I think India will chase this down. Santner is going at it alone, ajaz is really out of form.

 

[kron]

if they knew pant was injured then WHY THE F DINT JUREL PLAY

?????????????????????????

SO WE PLAYED WITH JUST 5 BSTSMEN

 

[kron]

KOHLI THE LUMBER ONE USELESS CHOKER. HAHA. FOREVER FRAUD. GET LOST BACK TO ENGLAND NRI

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Come on India. Don't let the subcontinent down. You can do it.

 

[kron]

lmao lumber 1 kohli cant play mitchell shane santner.

 

[kingusama92]

Santner continues his dominance.

The spin triplet from another country.

It's sad to see what's happening with Virat kohli. He is the only Indian cricketer I have ever liked. He is a good guy.

Hopefully he bounces back and score some more in test cricket.

Santlitharan

 

[DeadlyVenom]

How good is Washington with the bat? Can he hang around to support Sarfraz? Need to get the remaining runs under 200 and with the psychological boost India will have a shot.

 

[gazza619]

Can Sarfaraj Miandad do something special?

This Washing powder guy is a better batsman than he is a bowler.He has potential as a batsman.

 

[Mas-LFC]

There was no way India were going to chase them runs, to beging with. NZ won it with the target set.

Only ever looked on when Jais was at the crease. His wicket shifted all the momentum the other way

 

[Romali_rotti]

For minute I was worried Kohli might score a fraud flukey 100 and save his test spot.

Hopefully this is enough to get him out of the test squad for good.

And

Congrats to NZ on the series win, much deserved played like champs..

 

[Hellion]

Lol hahah I hope so .
Pakistan winning and india is losing is like icing on the cake. LOL.

Yeah. Especially for those who have grown up seeing the reverse for ages. Enjoy thelis rare nut, Lil one. May not happen again.

Its time Kohli retires from Test cricket or gets dropped for good. He is wasting a spot for someone else. He has been shocking since 2020

Just bury them already.

 

[Rajdeep]

Umpiring has been terrible this game. Kohli showing anger meaning BCCI will surely lodge a complain.

These gora umpires are so quick to give Indian batters out.

 

[Croma]

This in an impossible chase now.

Rohit and Gambhir should prepare their speeches now itself.

 

[Varun]

Surprise drop Kohli like Pakistan dropped Babar.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Chasing such target in the fourth innings is always going to be difficult.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

@Bhaijaan Asian Block is being let down bro

This is beyond his syllabus. He only talks about positive developments in India.

 

[kingusama92]

What a bowling performance. They have no answer.

 

[Rajdeep]

Good Sarfraz got out...he clearly don't belong at this level

 

[batandballbattle]

Chasing such target in the fourth innings is always going to be difficult.

Always is. Targets from 350-400 that have been chased in the past are by sustained momentum for a full day or so or by one guy playing a blinder.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Santner causing such issues. Tall left armer, very accurate!

 

[followed]

Lol Mitch santner nerd had average of 40 before this test now it's come down to 37 hahah.

Just one match on an indian dustbowl and he is reincarnation of Shane Warne

 

[batandballbattle]

Another 5fer for Mitchell Anil Santlitharan!
Guy came completely out of syllabus

Coming from fan of a team that just got blanked 5-0 against India. You lot need to keep quiet....we don't need opinion of minnows.

 

[Ahmed216]

Change in pace and beautiful useful of the crease his strengths

 

[Rana]

166-6

Gambhir is going to get the sack!

 

[Mas-LFC]

NZ has 3 left arm spinners in the XI. Key the beating India in India is good left arm spinners.

 

[Rajdeep]

We needed him this game and missed him badly. Indian fans, say sorry

 

[Ab Fan]

Many many congratulations to NZ for showing the English, Australians and 7% of South African population how to win a test series in India.

NZ are boss of cricket and hopefully they tease Australians just like their president teased Australia after winning WTC Final in 2021.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Rohit Sharma has no test hundred in his last 8 innings. Is he there to just captain or play t20 innings getting the team off to a start in test? He is 37 going to be 38. Needs to retire from test

 

[aboveandbeyond]

He would have no chance, Santner is unplayable to right handers this test.

You lost a test match in 2 days due to Rohit Sharma's blitz couple of weeks ago.

Remember?

He's gone missing in all games India needed him since the start of his career.

Honestly I can't believe he still has fans after than horror knock in 2023 WC final

[Mas-LFC]

Oh! Herath is the spin bowling coach of NZ. No wonder why their left armers doing so well. Herath did good with BD left armers in his time with BD too, early on.

 

[Ahmed216]

Good Sarfraz got out...he clearly don't belong at this level

Kyun bhai? And Kohli does?

 

[Rajdeep]

Remember Root was unplayable in India

This pitch is nothing like that track. It is a decent batting wicket as Kiwis have shown. Its just that Indian batters cant play spin bowling

 

[Mas-LFC]

Gone!!!!

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Pakistan won today and India on the verge of defeat. What a perfect weekend

 

[Ahmed216]

Herath is a genius no doubt. What a crafty bowler he was

 

[Markhor]

India need a coaching stint from Aqib.

And another

 

[Mas-LFC]

India struggling to play spin at home. Madness!

 

[IAJ]

Its time Kohli retires from Test cricket or gets dropped for good. He is wasting a spot for someone else. He has been shocking since 2020

Should have retired with average over 50 in Test cricket. Once you average in 40s in Test you are only very good, not a great of the format.

 

[IAJ]

The lower order has saved India from many embarrassments before, can Ashwin and Jadeja do it again?

 

[Ahmed216]

If Sarfraz who's averaging 70 in Indian domestic cricket does not belong at this level then what does that prove? Indians are the least talented?

 

[Rajdeep]

Jadeja and Ashwin need to stich together a partnership like they did against minnow Bangladesh.

 

[followed]

I thought washu would score a fifty. He can't do everything by himself.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Herath is a genius no doubt. What a crafty bowler he was

Indeed. A top quality left arm spinner, he was. Wasnt the tallest of spinner but had a good action, arm speed and extreme accuracy.

 

[AAli98]

Hopefully this is enough to get him out of the test squad for good.

And

Congrats to NZ on the series win, much deserved played like champs..

Doubt the likes of Kohli tendulkar sharma Dhoni wanted to carry on, maybe commercial reasons they have to stay on.

 

[Markhor]

In all seriousness credit to NZ. Not sure how many people saw this coming after the hammering in SL.

 

[Rajdeep]

NZ played with 13 players in this match with 2 umpires in their pocket.

ICC = NZC?

 

[Kianig89]

IPl stocks of NZ players to drop down

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Rohit kohli jadeja ashwin should bow out after Aussy series

 

[Croma]

IPl stocks of NZ players to drop down

No. They will get record deals like Starc and Cummins

 

[Mas-LFC]

Jadeja and Ashwin need to stich together a partnership like they did against minnow Bangladesh.

Not happening. That was just that, against a minnow. This is against high quality bowling of New Zealand who is about to end India’s test home supremacy.

 

[batandballbattle]

Pakistan won today and India on the verge of defeat. What a perfect weekend

full maaza

 

[Mas-LFC]

Rohit kohli jadeja ashwin should bow out after Aussy series

What about Kohli? Whats he done since 2020 in test?. Surely a billion plus has options. I just dont get why India with all the talents there, keep playing players for too long. Need to rotate better and give newer players chances and not people going into their late 30s.

 

[Kianig89]

NZ beware Indian fans have history of pelting bottles, orange peels etc


Srinagar 83 v WI, Calcutta 96 v SL

 

[Mas-LFC]

Tea. 178-7. NZ needs 3 more wickets to win the test series in India. Can they do it in 3 days? Another 31 overs remaining ij the day!

Yep. I said Kohli as well

 

[sindhiboy]

Everyone here probably expected Australia to break India's winning streak at home.
The kiwis doing it after being hammered by Sri Lanka makes this even better

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sad to see the greatest home dominant side near it's end.

But all good things have to come to an end. Don't want to see any of Rohit, Kohli, Jadeja, Ash in the next home season.

Need to start afresh with younger legs.

 

[Mainul]

Oye ....

India cant play spin .
They should now start playing FC on turning pitches so that their batsmen learn the art again.
