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

[Lethalweapon]

Just following it on here, but if i was to watch its not on Fox so I would have to be one of those pirates who are destroying cricket and watch it via stream.....

As I said this pitch is a rank turner, the 'scare' would be if they get a lead on whatever India scores.
the overcast conditions here will always make batting tough on all 5 days.
I consider 350 a winning score. I said that before Tendulkar got out.'It is a 350 pitch'.

 

[Marshland]

Grats Pujara. Half a ton up.

 

[Marshland]

I'm so half asleep it's not funny.

Ciao guys, enjoy the rest of the day.

Craig McMillan is an awful commentator. Whoever decided to give him the mic....

He speaks English and he's white. That's good enough for us. Maybe the broadcaster hopes he'll be their Danny Morrison!

 

[Sandeep]

Awesome weather here in Hyderabad..! Cloudy and just good temperature to play cricket!!

Sportive, eh?

Man it has been ages since I last saw an Indian 400+ score.

About time we made other run around a bit.

Pujara on fire

Edged

[Bhaijaan]

50 for Kohli as well.

 

[Justcrazy]

India hammering the black caps.

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is flat , india would make a big total and put pressure on NZ

 

[JibranAnsari]

Brilliant batting by these two and congratulations indians on reaching u 19 final.

Patel is a useless bowler

Indian Batting is world class , Even if Tendulkar retires ........they will out bat any one in these conditions.

Thanks for the compliment.......

But I am not the only one. Look at the True and false thread in Time pass ......some one has over 1000 posts there as well

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is a good one , I can see Ashwin also getting a hundred.

 

[Sandeep]

No need to go after the bowlers here...need to bat big and bat only once!

 

[Justcrazy]

108 runs partnership :14;

 

[MattyB]

If New Zealander's weren't so busy ****ing sheep, they could be a decent cricketing nation. They do have some good players but there are too many gap fillers who aren't upto International standard.

 

[Sandeep]

Ashwin is no mug with the bat FYI, but it feels good when the youngsters step up to the task

 

[Swaraj!!]

Going well these two but it's almost a bit too streaky at times for my liking. Would have provided teams like AUS, SA and ENG already half a dozen chances by this time. It's almost like they are tempted to play too many shots, then suddenly they recall where they are and knuckle down a bit......then forget again.

Wish they quickly learn to be a bit more solid and absolutely give no chances at all.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Thanks yar.

Good Luck

nervous 90'as for Pujara....

Go on my son!

Both of them must be anxious...they will learn with time

Hope cricket is back in pakistan soon , wish to see us play at home

[Swaraj!!]

Thing is, I can now see why Kiwis lost to WI. Too many hit me balls. I shouldn't conclude very highly in favor of Kohli's and Pujara's capabilities solely based on this outing.

 

[JibranAnsari]

These two are solid and should replace dravid and laxman with time. Who will replace tendulkar? of course after 2015.

 

[Justcrazy]

India looking unstopable now.

No one can replace SRT, but hopefully we get a decent bat in @ 4.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pujara on 95, hope he gets hundred.

 

[Justcrazy]

Patel has bowled well within himself , but is not a Test Class Bowler.

NZ were bound to struggle in such conditions.

Kohli moves on to 55.

Good partnership and mini-innings from Kohli

Nah just Indoor cricket.

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Gone, good innings neverthless

 

[Kwremb]

After looking at the way young guns have performed think it's time for Tendy to retire as well.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Kohli gone

 

[Space Cat]

Seems we were getting punished while i was away. Soon as i get back we get a wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

India have lots of batting to come.

 

[style_guru]

So Chirkut Teli departs, after glimpses of brilliance.

Che Pujara still there, like the guy he replaced used to stand alone in the middle.

 

[nish_mate]

Time to short all the deliveries now!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina walks in with a

 

[Swaraj!!]

That's what I was talking about. Just too many shots. He didn't need to play that. IMO, keeper and 1st slip catches are okay. Anything that goes to 2nd slip onwards the batsman needs to be given a kick. 250/4 isn't good on Indian pitches in the 1st innings.

 

[Gone]

99* for Pujara, good innings, he is laying the foundation to rebuild The Wall.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pujara on 99*

 

[dani2k]

Easy mate..one inning that too at home and you want the grand old man of Indian cricket to retire We have a long way to go and our first proof of how well has our team transitioned will be known in Dec 2013 when we travel to SA.

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

Pujara looks like a complete Test Player, he will do well in SA / England also.

 

[nish_mate]

Come on Pujara!!!!!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

We are going through a transition phase in TEST cricket, Kohli's knock was a decent one. Came in at 120/3 and had a 130 run partnership.

Pujara as expected looks rock solid, 100 for him!!!

 

[nish_mate]

Flipping YES!!!!!

Boys done it!!!

 

[Gone]

Maiden Hundred for Pujara, and what a innings by this man... Good going!

 

[Justcrazy]

Franklin to Raina, 1 run, drifts on the pads and worked towards fine leg, right, back to Pujara now

 

[Swaraj!!]

Congrats on Ton!!!

Good Job Pujara

 

[Swaraj!!]

And at a pretty good Non-Dravidesque SR as well.
