India need a leggie badly in the squad.
Off spinners and left armers can only dart it in these conditions,we need a guy who can turn it,we need a leggie.

Mishra can turn the ball a long way.

But India has more faith in Zak.

Even in SA series we could have won the first test if our bowlers had supported a bit ....


We need a fresh bowling attack who are at least avg :facepalm:
 
If Sodhi can work the bad balls out of his game he will be a good spinner. He just offers a boundary ball every over that releases pressure.
 
So which team really belongs to the second tier? New Zealand or India!?
 
This is supposed to be a commentary thread but no one takes the pain to post the scores.
 
If India has any sense, they would drop Zak and bring in Mishra.

Sad to see Zak trundle this bad and get smashed for boundaries left and right.

Mishra has a pretty good Wrong'un too. He would have been very useful on this surface.
 
Very pitiful performance by India.. BCCI should shut the - up after watching these overseas performances..

Mishra is very good against poor/mediocre players of spin but average against good players of spin.
Kiwis aren't really renowned to play spin.
We should have given mishra a go I reckon.

He has been riding the bench for soo long, his bums must be sore.
 
Are people really saying India should have gone in with 2 spinners Jadeja and Mishra on this pitch? Are you out of your minds? Look at how good fast men make the ball talk! #Respect

We shoudl play real spinners.

Fake spinners like Zak should retire.

We made the ball talk in the first 10 overs too.
 
Long ways to go in this test and after seeing the Kiwi trundlers at work a draw is the most likely result here. We just have to play out Southee and milk the rest, Kiwi's ODI attack is much better than what they have put out here in the first test #trundlerglore

No.Should have played mishra for jadeja.
 
Can India avoid the follow on :13: ?

With Pujara and Kohli gone, India are staring at huge trouble.
 
Why does NZ keep playing Wagner who averages 39 in test cricket and keep some one like Bracewell out of the side?
 
Shami
Yadav
Pandey
Mishra
Should be our attack for the next test.

and you think Dhoni will drop Ishant in next match after a 6fer in this innings? a friendly advise forget it for at least next 10 Tests ;)
 
Sad to see our neighbors playing so poorly.

It would be best that India team go back home and regroup. However, the fact that Asia Cup-World T20-IPL (all 3 in friendly conditions) is not really going to help India one bit.

Try playing any team against India in India, you will see how dominant we are

We struggle overseas and time out there in adversity is the best medicine we require..
 
Ripper of a ball from Wagner and Vijay goes after looking assured at the crease.
 
How the hell did he miss that straight delivery?

It did not even move in the air.

Pretty poor for Vijay.

Any team? Forgot how England beat you last year?

I tried to mean more like concentrate on being able to perform overseas. Thats why i said that the cricket in the next 3/4 months will not help much, since they are mostly T20s to be played on SC dustbowls

Preferably they would need to play some FC cricket on the pitches on mohali, but sadly, the problem starts with the fact that they don't face any quality bowlers starting from the domestic level. This is not only India's problem, its also our problem. Our domestic setup barely prepares our batsman or bowlers for the next level. County cricket will really help Indian players like Rohit and Dhawan IMO
 
That ball is why Boult hasn't played more ODIs. He tends to swing the ball way down leg occasionally.
 
In a way this is good for India. They may as well deal with this now because when they play Clouderson and Broad in England in conditions like this they will know what to expect.
 
But I have noticed Mithun has gone bitter since Indian batting started and has been playing down the efforts of kiwi pacers so I believe that Wagner did ball a beauty.
 
What The!!! Whom should I believe.

It was a good ball.

Not unplayable.

Wagner bowled wide of the crease with the angle coming in. Ball did not do much. It moved slightly. Vijay should have covered that easily. He is already set.

Vijay was late and made the ball look unplayable.
 
It was a great ball. Left arm around the wicket, Vijay expecting it to angle in as it should but it just straightened a touch and hit the top of off stump.

Did he play outside the line of the ball? If he did then must have been a good delivery.
 
I always thought Wagner was a 140km guy when he was on the domestic scene but then when he made NZ team he just trundled at 125km to 130km. Now hes bowling 146km on a pitch that is not particularly quick.

Vijay has concentration problems,I have seen that in past. May be underestimated the bowler.
 
Rohit wakes up with a couple of beautiful shots.

Wagner as usual bowls one beauty and then tries to emulate it every ball.

No one is feeding you, troll. So how about you shut up and stop behaving like a complete idiot.
 
Why are there so few people at the ground? Weather? Because it's a Friday? I see more people at NSW first class cricket games. Will there be more people on the weekend, especially with India on the ropes?

Makes you really think about what a thrill cricketers get when they play Boxing Day Tests at the MCG in front to 80k people eh.

Wagner was bowling rubbish until that ball.

Vijay did not expect that from Wagner.

Credit to the bowler. He produced a good delivery after bowling a load of rubbish.

Now wagner is getting spanked by Nohit.
