New Zealand tour of India, 1st Test: India v New Zealand at Hyderabad

Ashwin's 2nd 10-fer in 7 tests.

Both in Indian conditions, still a decent effort!

--

Ah nvm he had 9 wickets in his first test, so its his first.

Nz are not helping their cause but this is some crap crap umpiring. I feel sad for NZ even though I'm india supporter. :(
 
guilty feeling winning like this.Bracewell wasnt out.too many wrong decisions against NZ.we need DRS
 
After that first innings disaster I honestly thought we'd buck up and show some fight in the second and put up at least 250 to make India bat again. Kane and Baz started the process but the rest of them.....jeez. Of course, the DRS and home umpire bias doesn't help either.
 
feel sorry for nz they were cheated here just like pak was at galle.

??? Lol, its not like they have lost by 1 run or even 50!! Innings and 115 runs... one bad decision...or even two would have meant nothing

McCullum was given out incorrectly.....he looked good for a solid 80 there.
 
Poor cricket from NZ. lots of quality players retired in a short period of time so it was gonna be difficult for a small country with Cricket being lower in the priority among all the sport.
They need to shift their attention from Rugby to Cricket as things are going bad to worse for them
 
Well done India. Just too strong for us. Honestly don't see us bouncing back. Lack of fight shown is worrying.
 
What. I had gone out for an hour and game over. Good umpiring would have reduced the margin of defeat though. DRS please, India.
 
Gotta say I hope NZ get their house in order soon.

Seems they are going going through a WI type all time low.

Although they haven't been consistent world beaters fora while, they were always capable of beating any team on their day in the past.

This string of drubbings must be concerning for NZ fans.

What to do NZ?

Bring back your version of KP ( Ryder )

And find a REAL quick like Bond ASAP!

I have always looked forward to NZ v Aus matches as the rivalry usually produces unexpected results *thinks Adelaide test* - but the way the team is looking now,they don't appear to be worth watching....

they seem to be low in confidence.Taylor of all people,pushing n prodding.

Adam Milne is supposed to be quick,innit?

A lanky right-arm medium-fast bowler, Adam Milne made a dream first-class debut as an 18-year-old in the 2009-10 season, taking a wicket with his second ball and finishing with 4 for 52 against Canterbury. The call-up only came because Michael Mason was called up to the New Zealand team due to Jacob Oram's injury. Milne was included in Central District's Twenty20 squad for the Champions League 2010 even though he didn't play a single game for them in the domestic HRV Cup. He played two matches in the tournament and impressed with his pace.

Milne was included in New Zealand's squad for their Twenty20 series against Pakistan in December 2010. He was taken for runs in that series, and injuries disrupted his first-class career, before he returned to the headlines, being picked in New Zealand's squad for the 2012 World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.

Still young, but how quick is he??

NZ remind me of WI pre: Roach

Full of half paced, mediocre hit & miss triers..
 
NZ and Spin....

I am disappointed ....NZ is one of my fav team....not like this yaar...:(


Congrats Team India and all the fans...Its India day today in cricket .....:)
 
Adam Milne has fallen by the wayside of late but I still expect him to get a go once Marto moves on.

I still maintain that the media comparison of his style to Bond's early on in his career has not helped.
 
New Zealand need a spark of inspiration desperately out of somewhere... It is the very mindset of players that is letting them down! Ross or Bazz should go all out on the opposition without inhibitions for a change!
 
Really impressed with our catching! Made a huge difference! I always regarded Viru as very good catcher, good to see him do well! And of course Kohli is brilliant fielder ... so nothing surprising there.

Atrocious umpiring by Steve Davis continues! And someone tell me why is he still in elite panel! :facepalm:

This was very good test for Ashwin also very good test for Ojha too. Though, NZ were batting poorly, this performance by Ashwin and Ojha will help them set the tone for up coming tests.

And of course impressed with Pujara and Kohli's contributions. I expect better from other batters, against tougher test team, this performance won't do.

Good week for India! So far so good!
 
Was barely even a contest.

Quite disappointed in the standard of cricket.

Granted India still played well, however, one has to say that NZ played some really poor cricket.

Ryder does not deserve a recall at this moment. Full stop.

I don't get this obsession with picking a fast bowler for the sake of it. If he's one of your best five anyway, then great. Otherwise you should just pick your best performing bowlers, if they tend to be medium-fast swing 'n' seam type guys, then so be it. Our bowling has been pretty good anyway, it's the batting and fielding which are of serious concern.

He's brisk (early to mid 140s), and should be nowhere near the team in any format. Our half paced "triers" have been pretty good actually, pity they never have anything to defend thanks to our woeful batting.
