I expect Mccullum to go in aggressive mode post lunch. Bad times ahead for us :(
 
Only one team can win the other will do what they do best away from home :p
 
McCullam is in a bit of a bother. How long does he continue to bat and at what pace? The Indians can turn this into a draw if he doesn't get his decisions right.

Dude, do you not realize that Jadeja's century is not included in those stats. Talking of Jaddu and Ajmal in the same sentence is disturbing though.



Then you are here why?

I was referring to NZ as a whole..
 
Moosa seems confused. He talks about India going through one of their worst phases and there being a crisis within the ranks but still compares Jadeja to Ajmal and talks about the #2 ranking with pride.

and now he is EX BCCI Spokesman lol check his signature before it was BCCI Spokesman
 
Why are people pressing for NZ to declare? They've only batted four sessions lol. Let them keep India out there and demoralise them further. Get to 550, the rate they're batting they will be there about an hour after lunch and then can declare.

Bhai I never even mentioned Ajmal...let alone comparing. It was Strike Rate who indulged Ajmal in this comparison which was unnecessary.

A fool would compare Ajmal and Jaddu as a bowler :facepalm:

Spot on..but he has came up with some gems.
 
Credit to Moosa for lasting this long.

Black thunder as usual has run off after a session of embarrassment.

By tea it will be troll free.
 
Dhoni should be banned for the second test. Then we'll have some real fun.

Strike Rate wasn't referring to you. He was referring to some other well-known trolls who jump up and down with exciting whenever Ajmal performs below expectations. I appreciate that you have come to a sensible conclusion though. :shafiq

Sc what do you think? Bat till all out or declare?

I would keep batting. Sodhi, Wagner and Boult can all do damage with the bat.

The Eden Park drop in always goes flat like this so the best course is to pile on runs and attack 2 days to bowl them out twice.

Is your username Space Cat? :jf

I think the Kiwis should look to get to 550 as quickly as possible and then declare. The Indians are on low confidence right now and might fold out.

It will be tough on the bowlers though but thats the only way we're going to get a result.

In Canada its up to date. Don't know why it is lagging in the UK though.
 
Great stuff that last over from mccullum, kiwis have scored fast enough to give themselves a shot in this game just hope the rain doesn't ruin it all.

If it's at home NZ have a chance of winning, they will get thrashed in the UAE though

I don't know about thrashed but you should be favored over there. Our batting has improved in that region but we lack a spinner to bowl sides out.

Rain will be a factor we'll likely have 200 or so overs to bowl them out twice.
 
The weather is the only obstacle for India. Our batsman will grind the Kiwi to a halt on this road #feastonkiwis #cantwait #rain

Williamson, Taylor and McCullum would go good batting wise but the bowling would be a worry. Pakistani batting isn't great though so we could sneak away with 1-1.
 
It's early days for him but will be interesting to see how jadeja responds for the rest of the tour, this is really the first time he's been completely dominated at test level.

You get to the indian spinner when they are away from home and the quicks really looked buggered so quickly, india badly need control from the lone spinner or that 4th seamer overseas.

Yea in NZ its going to be 50/50. Last time we won when we toured but now there are many changes in both team.s

With Misbah and YK and I think we'd edge a series in NZ or at least get a draw but without those two I'd expect a whitewash

I was worried for a sec but you've eased my nerves we will win for sure now :)
 
I don't think Sodhi is an Indian. How can an Indian playing well outside India? :))
 
60% chance of Rain tomorrow while 4th and 5th day looks Partly Cloudy with 10%/20% chance of rain.

Your batting in spin friendly conditions is poor against Ajmal and Rehman I'd expect NZ to flounder

Taylor and Williamson went well against Herath and Narine.
