New Zealand v India | 1st Test | Auckland | 6th-10th February 2014

[Moosa]

Gutted I'm going to miss the days play, probably a good thing considering we're batting first. Then again this is India..

Why you missing?

 

[Aman]

Looks pretty green and it's very overcast. Good Toss for Dhoni to win. NZ will do well to score 200 I reckon. These conditions are perfect for Zaheer Khan.

Why you missing?

Going out in a bit.

Ponting #Legend )

Ghanta Legend.Got owned by Ishant Sharma.Should have his legendhood revoked for that.

 

[BlackThunder]

Kiwi's will be shown their place in this game. Their only hope is a washout #secondtier #hacks #t20team

 

[Amir]

I would have loved to see India batting first. They wouldn't know what hit em. Good fortune of luck for Dhoni.

 

[London_Lahori]

I hope India loses.They deserve to.

Why do you want a billion plus people to suffer because Sharma is playing

If we're a bunch of hacks.. I've got some bad news for you

Yeah would have been good. Though this drop in pitch is normally flat. Overcast conditions is the only thing bowlers can use.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

India have a huge advantage bowling on this green pitch under overcast conditions. Even with mediocre bowlers, they should be able to bowl out the kiwis quite cheaply

 

[OZGOD]

Hobbits playing Sodhi. Wonder if he can get Dhawan and Rohit back into form

Rutherford should just Kamikaze it

I don't see him lasting long in these conditions

 

[London_Lahori]

Oh great I have to look at Steve Davis' face for 5 days

 

[OZGOD]

Shami gets his length right but his line wrong

Fulton off the mark second ball. Gets a single

 

[Aman]

Red on white...

Star logo looks hideous

 

[London_Lahori]

Just short of slip, good pace by shami.

 

[London_Lahori]

Red on white...

I agree, terrible.

Lot of swing back in to left hander

 

[Aman]

Rutherford looks dodgy

Yep, he'll nick off or get bogged down and throw it away with a big shot.

 

[DrSchultz]

Shami making the ball talk or is it the pitch

 

[London_Lahori]

I'd be pretty confident in Pakistan beating NZ in tests.

That batting line up wouldn't worry me with our bowling.

 

[Aman]

Fulton dropped.

 

[London_Lahori]

Dropped!!!!

 

[London_Lahori]

Dhawan completely misses it ) )

 

[Aman]

121k from Zaheer

 

[London_Lahori]

Next ball :4

 

[Aman]

4 next ball, ouch!

 

[OZGOD]

Zaheer nearly gets a wicket with his first delivery. He is Cloudersonesque in these conditions. Dhawan makes a meal of the catch

[London_Lahori]

Not only can Dhawan not score a run but he can't catch in the slips either

 

[London_Lahori]

Fulton failed against the windies, surely he'll fail against India as well.

 

[London_Lahori]

:4 for Fulton again

 

[jattafridi]

I like indian fielding

 

[London_Lahori]

9-0

 

[OZGOD]

If Zaheer could bowl 20kmh quicker at mid 130s he would be a handful on this pitch

[London_Lahori]

Wickets to be had here.

 

[London_Lahori]

Rahane looks like such a puny human

 

[Aman]

I'd take a 40 run opening stand.

 

[OZGOD]

Rutherford tries to throw his wicket away but fails

Rutherford drove at 5 balls in that over and hit one for four.

Appeal for LBW not given. No referral for Dhoni to waste

Can't wait till Ishant is on.

 

[London_Lahori]

We want Ishant! We want Ishant!

 

[London_Lahori]

Mr Barmy army is at the game!

 

[London_Lahori]

Big appeal!!

 

[London_Lahori]

OMG what a poor decision!!! That was plumb.

 

[MarkCooper]

Lol

 

[MarkCooper]

plumb LBW lol

 

[London_Lahori]

Mark Richardson trolls sunny Gavaskar about DRS

[jattafridi]

no drs )

 

[London_Lahori]

And here comes Ishant!

 

[Moosa]

Umpire

 

[jattafridi]

India deserve this

 

[90MPH]

No DRS

 

[Smiling Creed]

What a catch !!!!!!

 

[London_Lahori]

Sharma gets Rutherford! Good catch rahane!

 

[Saeed]

Does NZ have some deal with Espn because recently all of their matches are being shown liven on cricinfo.

 

[OZGOD]

Ishant gets Rutherford caught in the slips to a woeful shot

 

[cricketjoshila]

NZ are trolling us.Giving wickets to Ishant.

 

[London_Lahori]

Shami - 5 overs for 3 runs.

Creating the pressure.

 

[Moosa]

Good bowling by India so far.

I'll wake up a bit later, get in later and blame it on the tube

[MarkCooper]

Pitched outside leg?

 

[London_Lahori]

Fulton looked dead, just dead plumb.

 

[OZGOD]

Fulton

 

[London_Lahori]

They are two very poor opening batsman

 

[London_Lahori]

Fulton

Terrible terrible player. Would struggle to get in the Bangladesh team.

 

[ahamedirshad123]

And the batting begins now

 

[trogger]

Surely the kiwis have somebody better than fulton to open?

He doesn't even have age on his side.

 

[Moosa]

Oye oye Oye

 

[Moosa]

Ross Taylor...please get him out

 

[London_Lahori]

Ohhhh Zaheer cuts Taylor in half.

 

[London_Lahori]

Would loved to have seen India batting on this pitch.

 

[London_Lahori]

The ball is moving both ways off the pitch and is swinging in the air. Sharma isn't even hitting the seam and the ball is jagging around.
