New Zealand (402 & 110/2) secure a comprehensive 8 wicket win against India (46 & 462) in the first Test to lead the 3-match series 1-0

Overcast conditions reveal the true quality of the so called world class batsmen.

 

[Banda298]

Is 36 AO safe?

42 tha usse pehle. anything possible

To be fair, they are world class in Indian conditions. These alien conditions, they are.. mouse class.

mitti ke sher. true asian quality. not even bangbros pak lanka afgh wud do any better. get shot out under 100 evety9ne

 

[jnaveen1980]

India utterly blown away in these uber bowling friendly conditions. Indian top order is failing like millionth time except there is no late order batsmen to bail out anymore. India will have to do catch up job because India has picked just 2 seamers hre.

 

[sindhiboy]

Kohli's average since Covid outbreak is now under 33 in over 30 tests.
He has had few chances too many.

 

[nish_mate]

***????

 

[Rajdeep]

What shameful batters Kohli and Kela are by god. Failure after failure and sense of entitlement is second to none.

Rohit on the other hand was never a test batsman. He only try to play these quick fire cameos to hide his own technical deficiencies. Coming down the track and swinging blindly in every game is not the job of a test opener.

India need to rope in Abhimanyu Eswaran opening with Jaiswal.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They always leave the job to lower order. They cannot bail them ou t.

atleast they are world class in some conditons , unlike their neighbours who fail in all domestic conditons. Dhobi ke ..... na ghar ke ghaat ke

Gambhir will definitely drop him but we all know it won’t be just because of his poor form.

 

[Varun]

Can we even make 100?

 

[Vikram1989]

33-5. Can you imagine India being in this situation in India.

I would blame the person/persons who thought batting first was a good idea!

Harsha was commenting that they picked kuldeep instead of akashdeep. Therefore they have decided to bat instead of bowl.dont understand the fascination with the team composition and deciding. It has to be otherway round.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bounce was like perth. Swing was like headingley, seam movement was like any other conditioon. Made the conditions nightmare.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Newlands massacre of Australia where they were reduced to 24/9 was like this.

 

[Rajdeep]

Can we even make 100?

Impossible unless Ashwin anna saves us again

Then again, Kiwis are no minnows like BD for letting it happen

 

[Ahmed216]

What's going on here? Something wrong with the pitch or overcast conditions?

75 international centuries , sponsor money, trp ka khel , champion trophy final mei kamaya hua black ka paisa all moving around to keep his career afloat so he can play 100 tests and score 10k test runs. ..

He lost his reflexes in 2019 mid , covid came and saved his ass but got exposed again and again.

If Jay Shah Hardik Pandya Bumrah werent there and surya hadnt taken that catch... he wud have paid for his wrongdoings and gotten the worst gaali filled farewell this t20 wc. needs to be retired from tests altogether

u started watching cricket two months ago or what ?

its Kohli Bkl kela rahul rohit sharma jadeja at their best ... getting 0s and 10s. laying eggs adding pressure on other batsmen .

usual story of indian test cricket since 2018. with few exceptions

 

[RamLakhan]

Chinnaswamy stadium looks like anti-IPL here! 1.5 rpo in contrast to 10+ rpo

 

[Banda298]

Gambhir will definitely drop him but we all know it won’t be just because of his poor form.

he cant . Kohli has outgrown almost all legends today . unless the call comes from jay shah who still rules bcci only then it can happen.

kohli is like Salman Srk. has lots pf money trp sponsors star sports etc riding on him

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

gee whiz....NZ getting conditions they want in our turf and our batsmen coming up short.....
hope we get 100 even that looks so far

 

[Banda298]

Bounce was like perth. Swing was like headingley, seam movement was like any other conditioon. Made the conditions nightmare.

bhai itna maska mat laga. havent watched any dismissal but heard no hit sharma , sarfaraz kohli bkl rahul jaddu all played their aukat wali **** shots.

bowling maybe very good but not unplayable like scoreline shows.

 

[Croma]

gee whiz....NZ getting conditions they want in our turf and our batsmen coming up short.....
hope we get 100 even that looks so far

I am still angry! Why did Rohit decide to bat first? Doesnt he know he and others in the team cant bat when ball swings?

 

[Ab Fan]

India’s best right handed batsman on current form up next and will be alongside India’s best left handed batsman. Still if India tries and if Ajaz and other spinner will bowl, India can get to 200.

 

[Banda298]

Now everything depends on this 7th wicket. Lucky Rishabh and Youtuber Ashwin have to do something now onwards.

Bumrah might be the only one who might be licking his lips, but he would be bowling to NZ batters in NZ-like conditions and he and Siraj and the three spinners would be at a serious disadvantage.

I hope to see Pant score some interesting runs

bhai Give ashwin atleast some respect not even Bcci has given him till now

he is as big a legend like Kohli ,Bumrah , and a bigger legend than Rohit Sharma will ever be

 

[DeadlyVenom]

gee whiz....NZ getting conditions they want in our turf and our batsmen coming up short.....

As long as Pant is there you guys can score a decent total even from this position.

 

[Josh]

NZ will have to restrict india below 150. Spinners will be very tough on this surface

 

[Croma]

bhai Give ashwin atleast some respect not even Bcci has given him till now

he is as big a legend like Kohli ,Bumrah , and a bigger legend than Rohit Sharma will ever be

i have immense respect for Ash. Tremendous cricketing brain. I watch all his videos irrespective of language

 

[Devadwal]

England ki Swing + Australia ka Bounce + South Africa ki seam = Bangalore Pitch.

 

[Croma]

What is India;s lowest first innings total in India?

 

[Croma]

Ashwin departs first ball 34-7. He can go back to pavilion and record a youtube video

Utter butter humilation.

 

[kron]

Tulla tulla tulla everywhere. Pathetic.

Crap batsmen.
Crap their pants vs hint of swing. Overcast lmao.

And they pick 3 spinners here too.
Nz is one lucky team. Lmao.

Anyway nothing is over but I am very very angry at the pathetic scheduling. You knew it was going to rain earlier. Should have planned better.

 

[BouncerGuy]

This is the first time 4 of the top 7 Indian batters have got out for a duck in a home Test.

 

[gani999]

Batting first was a bad decision. Rohit Sharma has had a brain fade.

Curious to see how Bumrah and Siraj would fare in these conditions though. I feel this is going to be a low scoring match overall.

 

[Devadwal]

34/7 .36/9 looks in Danger

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Wow pretty dominant performance from New Zealand so far. The conditions seem to be perfect for their seamers

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

7 down...even 50 looks so far....
Happy days for both padosis -east and west...

 

[BouncerGuy]

I though 36 all out was safe but it looks like INdia wants to make new record today

 

[Red-Indian]

34/7 .36/9 looks in Danger

Stunning really. Looks like we've badly misjudged the conditions.

It'll be a real test of our character. I'm actually pleased. Bangladesh was too easy. This is a nice wake-up call before Australia.

 

[Croma]

Imagine this. You are a NZ bowler. You come to India dreading to bowl here and are gifted with NZ conditions first match in the series and you utterly destroy the Indian batting at their home.

What a dream start to the series.!

 

[Devadwal]

Phew! 36 benchmark cross

 

[gani999]

The prediction is rain in Bangalore for the next four days. Interesting to see how this will go.

 

[Croma]

My boy the daredevil Pant has scored more than half of team total. I am so proud of him.

 

[James]

Seems an odd decision to bat first ?

 

[gani999]

Stunning really. Looks like we've badly misjudged the conditions.

Really silly decision to bat first. I hope they don't keep getting such brain fades in Australia.

 

[Croma]

By the way, India won the AUssie series depite being shot out for 36, so please dont celebrate prematurely.

 

[Croma]

How many balls will Kuldeep survive. I will stick my neck out and say 20+

 

[Croma]

-Pant also departs. He doesnt like cool weather 39-8

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

yay...we've crosed 36.....
ab next target 50...

Baby steps - guys...baby steps

 

[Croma]

Can India bowl like this when they come out? They have selected only 2 spinners...lol

 

[followed]

Lol get them under 50. Hahaha

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Matt Henry always performs well against India.. 8 down on just 39 Padosiyo me khushi ki lehar

 

[gani999]

Pant gone. Might as well declare at 39/8 and get NZ to bat while the conditions are still favourable for bowling.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Imagine this. You are a NZ bowler. You come to India dreading to bowl here and are gifted with NZ conditions first match in the series and you utterly destroy the Indian batting at their home.

What a dream start to the series.!

NZ feeling all their X'mas Diwali Id, GurParab jayanti and Hannkkah has come at once!

 

[Romali_rotti]

My.god is this match in India or the waca of the 80s.

Please please score 60 runs. Otherwise this will go down as the greatest humiliation of all time.....

Aa jao saare khushiyan jashan banaye. Hahah.
39-8. Humiliation.

NZ feeling all their X'mas Diwali Id, GurParab jayanti and Hannkkah has come at once!

I am still flummoxed. Why would you want to bat first here?

 

[BouncerGuy]

India scoring a 50 or not???

 

[Croma]

Each and every Bangladeshi fan who was hurt in reent series will be right now tuning in to this disaster and enjoying themselves.

Hopefully not...

 

[BouncerGuy]

Hopefully not...

you got your wish...9 down.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

India ensuring their neighbours don't feel alone. This is in solidarity with Pak's home performance.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

LOL this has been an embarrassing display by India

 

[Croma]

Bumrah has come out. Poor guy has to score runs when his batsmen utterly failed miserably.

He also leaves, he is more interested in bowling 40-9

This is utter humilation for Rohit and Gambhir

 

[kron]

Matt Henry always performs well against India.. 8 down on just 39 Padosiyo me khushi ki lehar

Matt Henry has never performed vs india in tests.

Lol 40-9
Hahaha
823 hurts but 40-9 is making me feel good hahah

 

[Romali_rotti]

Is this really an Indian wicket or am I dreaming?? I have never seen bounce and seam like this even in Aus....

 

[Croma]

Indian posters have run away and are in hiding..

Now Bumrah the great has to come out and get all wickets alone.. poor guy.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wow.....epic towelling.....
now the fun starts, siraj will swing the bat like mad axe murderers...

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Last 34 balls: 6 wickets for 9 runs

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Indian posters have run away and are in hiding..

Now Bumrah the great has to come out and get all wickets alone.. poor guy.

Don't worry about indian posters m8, just look above there are several....
besides its your day in the sun - cash in...

Lol hahah in this thread Indians were laughing and saying that 36 all out is in danger but now they have gone into hiding. Hahahah

New Zealand's fielding has been outstanding

Oh you are back. Well done.

Luckily you have Bumrah and Siraj who are capable of taking revenge.

Sabr nahi ho raha
Get them out already hahah

 

[Rana]

India 40-9

Wth happened there???

 

[Romali_rotti]

I don't know why the Indians are not declaring exposing the strike bowlers to get injured.

Which clown is the Indian captain again ?

 

[Devadwal]

Really embarassing cricket by us.
