What's new

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

Dont worry, when Indians come out to bat, rains will appear, it will get cloudy, batting conditions will again get treacherous. It wll be nice and sunny as long as NZ continue to bat.
 
Good that we are tonked in this test series. May just keep feet of our prima donnas firmly on ground. May augur well for the Australia tour.
 
Rachin and southee made life difficut for India now. There is no going back.
 
lmao wth are the spinners doing. aboslutely useless. get pacers in.
rachin is that good.

Not going to happen. BCCI is too spineless to do that.

These Rohits, Kohlis and Rahuls have too many bhakts, even on this forum. These nobodies think that beating a hapless BD team at home means anything.
 
what a useless bunch of batsmen we have lmao
cant play a hint of swing. go scrub the floors or something else.
useless.

bowling too. spinners are ineffective here. its not swing friendly anymore. dint take advantage of swing although it was much more of an overcast when nz bowled.
shame on these players.

now you better bat well you overrated bunch.

Indians know the writing on the wall. It looks like they have given up..


Time to get ready for next test match...

what a crucial toss to lose for NZ....
 
We need to brace ourselves for an innings defeat.
 
This kid Rachin Ravindra is a speciel batsman. So stylish and responsible batsman 👍🏻👍🏻
Ravindra, Brook, Gill, Jaiswal, Kamindu, Nissanka, Green.. Test cricket seems to be in safe hands 👌🏻🔥
 
Where is the rain? Can it save us for once as it normally saves the opposition teams?
 
Day 3: Lunch Break - New Zealand lead by 299 runs

IND 46
NZ 345/7 (81) CRR: 4.26

Initially I thought he was special but I am not so sure.

He struggled to put bat on ball in South Africa, had an ok series in Aus and below avg in Eng.

I think he has those genes of the sub continent bats struggle against pace and bounce.

Next 5 years will give a clearer picture.
 
Can it be possible after how India dismissed BD(when themselves were in good form), they took NZ lightly?
 
Ravindra has played an outstanding knock. His assurance and confidence against spin is remarkable for someone this young and at the start of his test career. Though it definitely helps that Southee is attacking from the other end.

This partnership has won the game for New Zealand unless rain intervenes.
 
New Zealand took 58 off the last four overs before lunch. Its very rare to see Indian bowlers struggling to stop the flow of boundaries in India.
 
rohit
virat
are no where near elite in tests.

rohit is around karunaratne level or maybe lathan

virat is around laxman level max.

Nah not really, this came down to making that fatal decision to bat when it was full of clouds, moist wicket which made mediocre Nz bowlers hit the jackpot.

Had Nz batted first this same outcome wouldve happened but only that Indians would be in the driving seat.


This is just nature of the game NZ got lucky with the toss and deserve to win this match...

But a class batting unit should not be all out under 50 against a "mediocre" bowling attack no matter how the conditions are
 
what happens to India every first test of every series? Don't they practice their batting before the series?

VVS was surely ahead of Kohli as a test bat.

Can happen wasn't the first time they were all out for 36 once.

Australia was bowled out for 47 in Cape Town...


Happens part of the game... When the wicket is doing a lot it is no longer about a bowlers talent. The wicket & weather did almost all the work..

Nz is a mediocre bowling attack show me stats of their best bowler on display... Tim Southe avgs what 33 ? Any bowlers that avg in the early to mid 20s for them?

Why would I need to show any stats? Did I say NZ bowling was not mediocre? I just said a class batting unit should not be out under 50 against a "mediocre" bowling unit. India previously was out for 36 but that Ozzie attack was anything but mediocre

High quality knock from a high quality Hindu player 😜

NZ management know how to handle a Hindu Batsman and when to boot him out! Hindus have good batsmen, but at the same time they also have crooked politicians surrounding them! They bother about commercial ads/sponsorships more than results (winning games). One may think Rohit's team won a T20 cup, but with a proper team, we would have won 2 WTC, 2 or 3 World Cups, last England & last 2 south africa away test series, and winning T20 world cups would have been customary! Alas we should feel happy only for that lone T20 World cup!

Agree with this.

You'd find quite a few of those gullibles here too. They think we've done something earth shattering winning the last T20 WC. As you wrote, with the amount of talent at our disposal we could have and should have won many more trophies than what we have done over last decade or so.
 
This is turning out to be very bad test for us .

Hope we bounce back and smashed them in next two .
 
Why couldn't goat calibre bumrah get wickets here? Can't swing at all. Need wickets. He always goes wicketless. His kyrptonite. So weird.
 
Oz bowlers love Hammering nz

But India for some messed up reason make a mess of it.

Also shameless batting by india.
 
Just knew Rachin was going to go big in India. The kid is something special alright!

Elite mindset from NZ as well. Southee utterly livid with himself when he got out even with such a huge lead. Was very easy to have a wry smile considering the situation but they wanted to make sure they bat only once.
 
Indian bowlers to NZ batsmen be like:

Yar cool down . They are winning a test match after 35 years .

Sometimes it can happen in cricket .
 
This defeat must put entirely on overconfidence of Rohit sharma ,even a Amateur knows ball will swing and seam with overcast conditions and damp pitch but this guy went and pick batting ,total Tully bazz🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
 
A knock for the ages from Rachin Ravindra. From 233-7 to 402. 169 runs added for the last three wickets. Surely, New Zealand should look to win by an innings now.
 
Ravindra loves batting at his second home. Bashed Pakistan in the World Cup here. And now this knock at a time when New Zealand were hurting, coming off a demoralizing Sri Lanka tour.
 
What a innings from Ravindra. Match is firmly in NZ side. India will have to play out of their skin to even draw this.
 
Biggest lead taken by a visiting team against India in India
418 - South Africa, Ahmedabad, 2008
380 - England, Chennai, 1985
356 - New Zealand, Bengaluru, 2024*
334 - Sri Lanka, Ahmedabad, 2009
333 - Australia, Delhi, 1959

250 over left. No chance of draw as weather is cleared .

According to weather forecast currently chance of rain is 80% but here bright and Sunny afternoon .

A lose is 100% predictable

Kitna losses and kitna wins in that?
 
This is worse than losing world cup final 2023

Test is supreme. Can never lose series at home.

Away Test wins matter more than world cups. Home Test wins Is also very important. Just under odi and t20 world cups.
 
Can any batter show character to pull of VVS Laxman here? That won't be enough though, someone will have to pull a Dravid too. This innings will show if India is a really champion side or not

Classic Indian fan behavior. No one is special apart from the players playing for India.

Rachin is a fantastic player, world class potential if he isn’t one already. He walks into the Indian team.

Always loved Rachin and even before the series had a belief that he'll be the MVP for the NZ team.
This is coming from an Indian so not all Indians are same and there are exceptions who value cricket over nationalities
