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

Fantastic bowling effort from Ashwin and Ojha to restrict NZ to a lowly 159. I hope bad light n rain stays away for at least one more day to have a result in this game.

ha ha.... So much effort to put india bowling down. No need. Everyone knows that. :D
 
Indian spinners have always made life difficult for touring players. I think except South Africa, pretty much every one else has struggled. If Ashwin and Ojha ( who are yet to reach the levels of Kumble and Harbie at their peaks) do this to the NZ team, this NZ side will be eaten for breakfast by Ajmal and Co. Hopefully NZ will put up a fight in the second innings and make the match interesting. Hate to see one side matches, even if the winner is India.
 
Pretty sad to see the state of New Zealand Cricket! Even Bangladesh would fare better here! New Zealand were a good team and gave a good fight during the hey days of Fleming, Astle, Cairns, McMillan, Twose.... But this looks embarrassing... None barring McCullum, Guptill or Ross could even a spark an inspiration! Indians need not jump with joy after this series!
 
Ive i was ashwin id be in the captains ear very quickly asking him for a bowl so that he can take some more easy cheap gift wrapped wickets.
 
Ian Gould used to be very good ump but off late he's been making some really horrendous decisions on the field(since Pak tour of SL). Guptill was very unlucky to be given out LBW.
 
Really? I thought that was plumb. You're looking for trouble if you pad something that's straight enough that it could be hitting

TBH, i thought the ball was turning and could have easily missed the off stump in slo mo replays.

That didnt turn much, and the bounce has been pretty low so I'm sure it would have at least clipped the off-stump.

One of those 50-50 decisions.
 
mccullum and co. just dont want to play long innings. embarassing really. oh look guppy goes. shady decision really.
 
Big dark clouds all around the ground and the light is not very good either. Ashwin should be introduced soon.
 
very interesting weather in Hyderabad here! Looks very bleak on one side and very bright on the other! But Uppal is on the wrong side
 
Today is only 3rd day , still 2 full days to go. NZ way behind India ..........India still in drivers seat.

wats the use of bringing the rankings into this thread?such a hater...
 
So, Ajmal and Rehman taking English wickets in UAE are not easy wickets and Ashwin and Ojha taking these are??!? :23: :P

There is a big difference between the English and NZ batsman. england has one of the strongest batting line-ups in the world, while NZ is probably one of the weakest. see the difference

I am sure it's broken.

Very impressed with Kane and Baz, they've seen us through to lunch

Cue one of them throwing their wicket away foolishly.
 
One session thats all needed to bundle out NZ....no need for any urgency

take your time guys
 
The umpiring is so much clearly in favor of India...
First while India was batting and now in NZ second innings...

Bloody lack of DRS for both our wickets.

tbh this decision wasn't bad. The ball hit bat and pad almost simultaneously from what I conclude from replays.
Though I agree your team has been hard done by some poor umpiring.
 
Umesh getting some nice reverse swing going, needs to bowl consistent line and length though.
