Useless Indians. Shame on batsmen. And pathetic tail. Absolutely useless.

Go play IPL. Quit test cricket.

Now watch bumrah bowl like a loser vs kiwis. Will he take new ball wickets or go wicketless again.

And yes blame falls on batsmen this time but still
What a joke. 46 all out lmao. Losers.

Better win the series though. I don't want to lose the streak to nz of all teams.

They got smashed by SL
Fgs.

Virat retire
Rohit should quit. Go eat vada pav everyday.
And good old siraj. Be the dsp. Cricket is not for you. Get lost.

Great fightback by India. No other team would dream of fighting back like that and winning. Maybe Australia team of Warne and mcgrath would fluke a win

Thanks Bro....
And fantastic game to your boys in Multan test....epic turnaround ....with stuff of legend - Sajid Don....
1-1 there....augurs well for next test ....will be xciting
 
Okay atleast INdia is playing on day 5. But this rain really screwed India over. It probably freshened up the pitch
 
Does India have the most fickle fans in the world? One bad performance, and they start crying like dolls. It’s as if the Indian team isn’t allowed a single off day. They bounced back after being bowled out for 46, but these fans act like the world will troll them after just one poor showing. Either they think too highly of themselves, or they have spent so much time trolling other countries that they can’t handle it when the tables turn. Learn to take what you dish out. They just can't handle things not going their way. :inti

Yes. I totally agree. And with Pak team, long time coming...Its time you sorted out whatever politics with pitches/selections etc...and focussed on cricket only to be competive, which you are well capable of ....
T20 is hit an miss...Test cricket is real thing....
Good luck for 3rd test match.

He will play, and he deserve to play in my opinion. India suddenly won't drop a player. If he didn't perform in BGT, then definately his test career will be over.

They made a par score in the second innings.

Batted well but not much of a bounce back apart from one brilliant partnership.

This performance isn’t nearly as bad as some of these paper fans are making it out to be. The harsh reality is, they are less worried about India’s performance and more about being trolled by fans from other countries if India loses. They just can’t handle what they dish out. :inti

46 all out after winning the toss at home is so far amongst the worst performances of all time with the bat.

Only some brilliance with the ball can make it less embarrassing.

I admit there are times i feel a guy of his class, shot making ability shoul have achieved more in test cricket ...he got upteen chances....he's bombed many times....
I really loved the way he kept wickets in Asia cup and WC ODI 23 and the super fitness he showed to both keep wickets and perform in Sl/Indian conditions with the bat, totally unselfish and not at all apreciated on these pages, i get it he is a totally committed indian team guy who will put team first....
but somewhere....somwhere.... the hunger is lacking....the intensity is lacking....
which is a shame as he has the talent to prosper in every format....
but now....i feel we are at a cross roads....our selection commitee has to take a calll....
he is also not at a young age....guys like Devdutt padikkal, vihari, Washi sundar, Gill, even bloomin yash dhull might have to be considered....
and if he is discarded...i will be truly sad for him -no matter what the people on this site say or have -vetiy on him....
 
Focus needs to be on why India collapses for 46. There is no need of praising them for their so-called comeback. Indian media will try to project this as a heroic defeat to cover up for their embarrassing batting vs the moving ball.
 
IND 46 & 462
NZ 402 & 0/0 (0.4)
Day 4: Stumps - New Zealand need 107 runs

KL Rahul fell at the stroke of tea as India lost their sixth wicket allowing New Zealand to crawl back into the contest. Rishabh Pant fell agonisingly short of his century as he dragged one back onto the stumps on 99 – the seventh time in his Test career that he’s been out in the nervous 90s. Sarfaraz Khan produced his career-best score of 150 as India took the lead in the ongoing first Test against New Zealand. Sarfaraz was dismissed by Tim Southee.

There was no stability left in the Indian ranks as wickets continued to fall at a quick pace, with speedsters Matt Henry and William O’Rourke wreaking havoc on the tailenders.

The pacers both scalped three wickets each as India was bundled out for 462, setting a target of 107 runs for NZ to win.

Bumrah started off looking menacing with the ball, prodding into the defense of Tom Latham. But, play had to be called off due to bad light and eventually rain, as India will now have to defend their meagre total with a whole day’s play left for NZ to seal the deal.

After a lengthy delay, rain finally relented in Bengaluru and the excellent drainage system of M Chinnaswamy Stadium ensured the ground was ready for play in no time. The second session starts from 1:50 PM with the tea break at 3:30 PM IST. The final session continues till 5:15 PM IST.

Sarfaraz struck a maiden century while Pant fifty as India dominated the morning session before rain stopped play in Bengaluru. India were 344/3 in 71 overs, trailing New Zealand by 12 runs when early lunch break was taken. The rain stopped for a few minutes but returned delaying the start of second session.

India fought back valiantly with the bat and trail New Zealand by 125 runs. With the rain staying away, the hosts will look to take it session by session, starting with seeing off the crucial first hour on Day 4. On the other hand, New Zealand will look to wrap up the Indian innings soon and possibly before India even post a lead.

Day 3 began with India picking up four wickets within the first hour. Rachin Ravindra and Tim Southee though combined to bash Indian bowlers all over the park. Rachin scored a brilliant 134 and along with Southee’s 65, propelled New Zealand to 402, finishing with a commanding lead of 356 runs.

i agree with the first part.

the second part is more your recent bias based on your recent threads.

I fully expect the indian media to dissect the embarrassign 46 AO and i fully expect Gauti Gambo to absolute bollock the indian prima donnas inside the dressing room with double barrells...
Lastly, assming we loose tommorow....i would really doubt if the indian public at large would be sold out on fightback etc, yes will celebrate the fact that we fought back but also dwell on the end result.

As New Zealand batters Tom Latham and Devon Conway came down to bat, the already rain-affected match saw clouds hovering over the stadium. Jasprit Bumrah bowled only four deliveries in which he troubled Latham. But just then, the umpires deemed the light not enough for play to continue and NZ batters went off. The Indian players led by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were livid as they argued with the umpires regarding the decision.

India played well to take lead. But, they should have play sensibly against new ball.
Rishabh Pant is victim of nervous 90s. He just throw bat blindly whenever he is in 90s.
India should have taken lead of atleast 150.
Still, im hopeful of Indian win ..Cheers
 
These umpires forced us to play under lights for most of the game yesterday and even extended the overs. That last over extension cost Kohli wicket. Today, they don’t want to continue play while New Zealand is batting.
 
God save Indian cricket from these no name worthless trolls who surely don't have best interests of Indian cricket in their hearts.

I didn't watch the full match was more focused on Pakistan game previously but dipped in here and there.

Going off seemed the right decision. I didn't see the phase in too much detail that you are describing yesterday so can't comment whether it was right or wrong.

Anyway it rained after the bad light call so maybe we missed out on 1 over.

Good try to build up the saazish narrative....but wont work...

As an indian fan i would say if we were beaten tommorow and high probability that we should....
They played better, bowled some unplayable deliveries in 1st innings which got wickets - credit to the opponents.
If u r 46 AO you are forever playing catch up...
We had our moments when NZ batted but i felt Jazz-Boom and Ash did'nt get their lengths right a lot of times....that won't happen everyday....
Siraj much like KL is skating on thin ice and needs to deliver big time...
When we batted in the second dig a lot of our guys got carried away and played champagne millioniare shots...
the real kicker was VK getting dismissed on the last ball of the day day, the absolute godawful shots by Rav jadz, the not so fortunate knee inljury to rishabh
but full credit to NZ the- way they came back with the 2nd new ball was exemplary to claim the last 7 wickets....
You learn more in defeats and in adversity than when the sun is out shining and all the flags are flying....
Hope team management and our guys learn....and learn quick ....and come out chomping at the bits the next time.
 
NZ should win this one easily. I thought it would be an inning win but anyway win will be a win.

It has been a thrilling test match.

It will be the first test win for NZ in 50 years or so in India.

If handled correctly, if given the correct backing, if coached correctly, if workload managed... he has all the portents to be a successful and be the guy who lends a different dimension, a cutting edge to the BD pace attack....am not a pace technical expert myself but i guess the coaches will work out his footfal at time of delivery and co-ordinate this with the hand release, if that is sorted out i guess another 5k improvement of pace along with his body becoming stronger with excercise and practice, we should see a real bolter, a future star...

Coz these things happen some times... It is only a issue if it happens often.

Again you are showing the basic lack of enough sample size and jumping to conclusions on the a basis of a single event.



No need to stilt any wrists yet.
This is top tier team on wtc.

It is a good comeback.
 
I had hopes from Indian lower order. They failed.

NZ should win this with 7 or 8 wickets.

The first innings collapse of India was too much to overcome for India in the end.
 
The irony is that nobody whatsoever in New Zealand either knows or cares that this match is even happening.

Even rugby is completely off the agenda: the entire country has been focussed on the America’s Cup in Barcelona.

And just as the sailing has brought back memories of Sir Peter Blake winning with Sir Russell Coutts in San Diego in 1995, the Test in India for me evokes memories of Sir Richard Hadlee’s extraordinary bowling performances aged 36 in India 36 years ago.

Funny how the America’s Cup shows us that there is a sporting event even older and more prestigious than Test Cricket.

Test cricket is clearly dead in NZ. Future is white ball everywhere.
 
William O’Rourke said during the post-day 4 press meet:

"I wouldn't say it's an easy win from here. We've got a world-class team going up against us. But we've got to be confident going out there tomorrow.”

"Hopefully, for our sake the rain stays away and we get a chance to have a crack at it."

"My first time here so probably had a little bit more bounce, a bit more pace than what we probably expected coming over here which obviously suits a bowler like me."

“It's obviously pretty special getting someone so great, one of the greats of our game, out like that. Obviously, you grow up watching those guys. So, to come here and take that wicket, it's probably right up there.”

“So, good to Timmy (Southee) getting that first breakthrough (Sarfaraz) and then lucky enough to get a chop (Pant) there to sort of give us a bit of momentum going through.”
 
New Zealand long wait for a test win in India is about to end, for sure. Unless rain saves India. When you get bowled out for 46 at home, you don’t deserve to win or draw a test match.
 
Was expecting an innings defeat, but Sarfraz and Pant saved us with some top-order heroics.

Overall, a forgettable game for Indian fans—unless the Kiwis collapse chasing a modest 107 on an eased-out track.

Focus should be why 400 was allowed after 220/7, bowlers cant get a free pass. In 1999 test, they were bowled out for 215 after dismantle India for 83.
Bowling had few decent 200+ Scores to defend in SA and 380 in Eng but couldn't deliver.

Rahul doesn't even average 35 despite playing over 50 tests. It'll always be a mystery how come a non talented man can play so many tests for a premier test playing nation like us.

Is there such paucity of decent enough batsmen in our ranks?

Sadly yes... After Sachin, Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly, Sehwag, Gambhir - our quality went down in terms of batting (test batting to be precise). But then at least Pujara, Rahane, Kohli, M.Vijay, etc were mid-range quality... Now things are looking very bad. But during this time we have improved so much in bowling... Hence we are winning many overseas tests also (while our glory team Sachin, Dravid & co were somehow not able to do it). Bowling is key!

In terms of batting only "Pant" is our lone warrior. In fact, he is the first of its kind, a wicket-keeper batsman whom we are relying so much in test-batting (even Australia was not so dependent on "Gilchrist"). But anyhow moving forward I have hopes on guys like Jaiswal, Gill, etc... These guys should be groomed properly (yes even Sarfaraz)... All their weakness should be finetuned... They all can form a formidable unit, we should be sensible with our team selections!
 
Speaking at the post-day 4 press conference, Sarfaraz Khan:

“We knew Rishabh was nursing a knee injury and was in some pain today, so we agreed to be cautious with our running. After calling for two, I recalled his condition mid-run, hence my reaction. Thank God, he survived that.”

While speaking on a local media outlet, Former India captain Anil Kumble has questioned New Zealand over their strategy in the second innings of the ongoing 1st Test in Bengaluru:

"New Zealand are clueless. They came out in the second inning thinking that whatever they did in the first innings would work but things have changed, the pitch has changed, the conditions have changed... In the 70 overs that they have bowled, it didn't look like they have any kind of plan."

"Sarfaraz Khan has hit them in uncanny positions. Even to Rishabh Pant today, they didn't know how to control the flow of runs. If they can't do that, India will keep hurting them. They are still in front but only just. If they don't come up with a way to stop Sarfaraz, India will go up."

"The way things are, India can easily be 200 runs ahead by the end of this day's play then New Zealand will be under a lot of pressure. Because Jasprit Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja won't make the same mistakes. They will bowl differently."

Win the series? Lol Just say that it's your wish.. India will be more cautious even if there's any more overcast conditions. India will bat them out in the next two tests. Only overcast condition can narrow the gap but I bet there won't be any. You won't see India get bundled out for low totals for another few years.
 
New Zealand always do a good job of giving India a reality check whenever they get overconfident.

They have done it 5-6 times over the last decade across all formats.

Hubris much? I guess India need more 46s, 36s, and 152/0s to reduce hubris of Indian fans.

NZ are quite capable of winning a series against India. NZ whitewashed India last time India toured NZ.

Capable yes for sure. Even ban is capable of doing it. Reality though, Ind will come back strongly next 2 games. After being out for 46, to come back and even have a shot at victory is remarkable. Next 2 games, Ind will come back stronger and anything other than a 2-1 result in favor of Ind will be a massive upset.

Yea.. THey get two innings as against India's one innings practically. But i still expect them to win this one as India misses an extra seamer on this pitch. THis is not a spin pitch. India couldn't even read their own conditions and pick the right team. Overcast cool with rain around going in with 3 spinners was ultimate stupidity.
 
India needed Shami/Akash to support these two to make a match of it. You cannot win with Ashwin/Jadeja/Kuldeep on a track that hardly received any sunshine.
