New Zealand end Day 1 of 2nd Test on 63/0 after India are bowled out for 242

[Aman]

It'll get faster on Day 2. Kiwis were almost forced to bowl first here for 5 men pace attack, but I do think think it's a good toss to lose.

Expected a lot more there for the bowlers so far the ball isn't moving and batsmen can play their shots.

 

[Titan24]

Agarwal was looking vulnerable agianst inswing of Boult

 

[minamino]

Did he claim so? The problem is with you, not him.

Not him but people here do.

 

[Aman]

it is swinging around though. It's definitely not flat. Would be stupid to bat first.

Hardly lol. This is what you'd usually early on in ODIs with the white ball.

 

[Slog]

Think Pujara will do well on this wicket

 

[Space Cat]

Thats not a good review at all.

 

[Heisenberg111]

Tbh, Southee has bowled poorly so far.

 

[minamino]

Thats not a good review at all.

I think Shaw is here to be blamed. He probably had the best view.

 

[Aman]

Shaw, Pujara and Kohli can cash in here.

Perfect pitch for them to score runs.

 

[Space Cat]

Neil Wagner will the only seamer around looking at this pitch saying i wish this was browner.

 

[Slog]

Bring Jamieson on

 

[minamino]

Bring in Jamieson to get Shaw out.

 

[Hitman]

Not him but people here do.

Then dislike those people, not him.

 

[Aman]

Jamieson and CdG should be brought on see if there is any seam movement there or if CdG can find some swing.

 

[Slog]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] [MENTION=131138]Space Cat[/MENTION] - mistake to not play spinner if the pitch flattens out?

 

[Aman]

Southee already going short, tells you how much sideways movement there is.

 

[minamino]

Huge question marks over NZ bowling if they let Shaw go big here.

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] [MENTION=131138]Space Cat[/MENTION] - mistake to not play spinner if the pitch flattens out?

Yes.

If India score 350+ we will lose this match.

 

[Titan24]

Bro good to see you following Indian matches as well.

Good to see you as well. I usually do follow almost all the matches depending upon timings, i enjoy watching and following cricket as a whole

The timing of this series is best for the UK. Can watch the matches late at night.

 

[Slog]

what do Indian fans think of Iyer in Tests? Was very impressed by the little I saw of his highlights. Seems like proper batsman.

They are too busy in overhyping Shaw and Gill. Someone needs to tell them that Iyer is just 25 as well.

 

[Test lover]

Boult bowling beautifully

 

[Titan24]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] [MENTION=131138]Space Cat[/MENTION] - mistake to not play spinner if the pitch flattens out?

With 5 bowlers and work horses like Wagner and CDG along spin of Williamson if required should be fine I think unless there some spin comes into play later in the test which has a low probability

 

[Slog]

They are too busy in overhyping Shaw and Gill. Someone needs to tell them that Iyer is just 25 as well.

Gill failed both internationals but he's too young and NZ pacers away is difficult assignment first up.

I think Shaw and Iyer are best from this

 

[Hitman]

what do Indian fans think of Iyer in Tests? Was very impressed by the little I saw of his highlights. Seems like proper batsman.

He hasn't played Test cricket so far. Hope he gets his due chance soon.

 

[Aman]

Not much to work with for Boult so has to use the wide ball and the one that moves back in to get a wicket here.

 

[Abhilash93]

What is Shaw doing? He had the better view and could have told him not to review. Mental midget.

Shaw hits one boundary and he becomes the next Tendulkar. This is the reason I dislike this player

They are too busy in overhyping Shaw and Gill. Someone needs to tell them that Iyer is just 25 as well.

Bring in Jamieson to get Shaw out.

Chill bro.

Did Shaw smash you around when you were a net bowler ?

 

[Aman]

Southee has bowled woefully.

Give Jamieson the ball.

 

[Space Cat]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] [MENTION=131138]Space Cat[/MENTION] - mistake to not play spinner if the pitch flattens out?

I dont think so. CDG can perform that holding role and i cant remember the last time a spinner got a wicket at Hagley.

 

[Heisenberg111]

Southee has been very poor so far.

 

[Hitman]

Chill bro.

Did Shaw smash you around when you were a net bowler ?

I was thinking the same.

 

[minamino]

I think Southee has lost it at this level. Time to give Ferguson a go in Tests.

 

[Titan24]

Surprised Southee havent tried a short ball to Shaw considering he is batting out of the crease to cover the swing

 

[minamino]

Even Sutherland was able to get Shaw out in these conditions without any hassle yet Southee keeps on bowling pure trash to him.

 

[King Kong]

Gill failed both internationals but he's too young and NZ pacers away is difficult assignment first up.

I think Shaw and Iyer are best from this

Gill is the best talent in India right now.

Gill>>>Shaw>>Iyer

 

[minamino]

Shaw showing his real aukaat in front of Boult. Pujara has been protecting him from Boult otherwise he would have been out by now

 

[globalcitizen]

Chill bro.

Did Shaw smash you around when you were a net bowler ?

He definitely has inferiority complex looking at some one so young achieving something in life. LoL

 

[Titan24]

Gill is the best talent in India right now.

Gill>>>Shaw>>Iyer

I rate Gill higher than both as well. I think he wasnt treated well as he was dropped after couple of difficult ODIs’s in NZ in last tour. Though its been sometime I have seen Gill bat so not sure how is his overall setup now

 

[minamino]

He definitely has inferiority complex looking at some one so young achieving something in life. LoL

I am 21 as well. I don't need to be jealous off him.

 

[Space Cat]

NZs most successful spinner at this venue is Kane Williamson with 1 wicket.

 

[Titan24]

Unlike Pujara shot

 

[Space Cat]

Big Colin has the ball. Dangerous period.

 

[minamino]

When will they give the ball to Jamieson?

 

[Space Cat]

Screw the pitch lets get Wagner on and start bumping everybody.

 

[Titan24]

NZ havent bowled well till now to be honest, too many loose balls and not enough pressure created

 

[Aman]

Green mamba my foot.

 

[Aman]

When do we resort to bringing in Wagner and bouncing India out?

 

[Space Cat]

Shaw has played quite a few games at this venue now. U19 world cup was held here and most of the India A games.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Well nz can only prepare green mamba which they have done now its not in their hand how it plays out.
They have world class bowlers like southee, grandhomme, jamiesin and atgs like boult and wagner im sure they will get us out below 180 on this green mamba.

 

[Test lover]

Jamieson is real threat here

 

[Space Cat]

Jamieson the first one to get movement out of the wicket.

 

[minamino]

Well nz can only prepare green mamba which they have done now its not in their hand how it plays out.
They have world class bowlers like southee, grandhomme, jamiesin and atgs like boult and wagner im sure they will get us out below 180 on this green mamba.

Since when did CdG become a world class bowler and Wagner an ATG?

Are you high on the 'medicine' which Shaw took?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Are you high on the 'medicine' which Shaw took?

Cough syrup?

 

[globalcitizen]

I am 21 as well. I don't need to be jealous off him.

One can feel for you. You have a nonsense thread against someone who has played 1 damn test until now. So you know will be a laughing stock here if it does not come true. So fire those nonsense statements. What next black magic LoL

 

[Aman]

Way too high, review wasted.

 

[Aman]

Awful review.

Both teams have thrown their reviews away.

 

[Aman]

CdG and Jamieson bowling well now with the ball moving.

Southee was garbage and given Shaw 30 runs.

 

[OhTwadi]

Wagner requires ASAP

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Ball is moving, the conditions are surely bowling friendly.
Southee wasn't using it well enough and shaw was batting well.

 

[Aman]

Shaw is a grade A hack.

Looks clueless when the ball moves.

 

[Abhilash93]

Jamieson is getting the ball to seam around here

 

[Space Cat]

I thought Wagner had him there.

 

[minamino]

Seriously how can you let Shaw score a 50 on this pitch?

 

[MMHS]

Marvelous start for India - almost have taken the lead in this game. There will be enough movement left on Day 2/3 to press on. IND should reach 350+ from here after this start.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Ruthless 50 on a green mamba.
Shaw You absolutely beauty!
World class talent

 

[Space Cat]

That was a great knock by Shaw. Need Kohli early here.

 

[minamino]

Bitterly disappointed by NZ here. They have done pathetically in this session and I don't think they'll do any better in next sessions.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ruthless 50 on a green mamba.
Shaw You absolutely beauty!
World class talent

He simply thrashed their line. He stood well outside the off stump. These trundlers rely on green pitch, movement. Moment there is no green pitch in Australia they were sucking balls lol

 

[minamino]

YEAH!!!!!!!!! Shaw the OVERRATED IS GONE!!!!!

 

[sindhiboy]

good innings from prithvi,

 

[HydratedTurnip]

Annddd.. whattay catch! But well done Shaw, 50 runs opening the batting on a fresh surface is like a daddy hundred anywhere else

 

[jnaveen1980]

YEAH!!!!!!!!! Shaw the OVERRATED IS GONE!!!!!

Aren't you embarrassed to celebrate getting out to 54 on a green pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That wicket belonged to that slipsman. one hande left handed catch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India cannot win this match. But they must try to draw the test if they could.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wish Shaw taking on Wagner a little more. He is a strong backfoot player.

 

[minamino]

Babar scored a 90* in his second match in NZ and yet people think Shaw is more talented than him lmao and Babar scored it when Southee still had some gas left in his tank unlike now.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

This is the first time i was watching shaw in test match and boy is he entertaining.
He can bring back the sehwag factor in our team, these quick 50 runs will really help us if somehow New Zealand also scores big.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar scored a 90* in his second match in NZ and yet people think Shaw is more talented than him lmao and Babar scored it when Southee still had some gas left in his tank unlike now.

Don't worry Shaw will overtake everyone very soon and leave you in misery lol His Test average is still wellover 50.
