New Zealand v India | 1st Test | Auckland | Day 3 | 8 February 2014

[Adil_94]

Mate you'll be lucky to score 300 in the next innings

We've already won the game, we'll have to play poorly for India to make 300 here.

Don't count Indians out yet NZ are clear favourites atm but if your batters carry on choking an India win is not beyond the realms of possibility

This is a new ball track.

India should make the most of the new ball. Certainly better than what they did in the 1st innings.

Indians fielders let them down if they didn't drop.Williamson this would be a very different match the bowlers were good with the new ball but as soon as it lost its shine they started being pathetic as usual

MCCullum was dropped by Vijay in the 1st innings too.

 

[Saeed]

Wow, anyway good fielding.

 

[London_Lahori]

[BlackThunder]

Kiwi's crumbling and we give them another chance #noworries #chokeison

[London_Lahori]

Wth was that run!!

 

[razabbas]

Mculum commited sucide HUH

 

[Gone]

Not getting cocky, calling it how it is.

You struggled to make 200 in the first innings but you expect to chase down 400+ in overcast conditions on day 4 and 5?

Not expecting india to chase 400+...

BMac gone! Big blow!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Woooow!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Vijay must be the happiest guy on earth right now.

 

[Adil_94]

Brain freeze from McCullum here before lunch.

15/4 Thats a good start for india!

 

[London_Lahori]

87-10 in the session

 

[Gone]

If india manage to even draw this game, then il:

 

[OZGOD]

Macca ran himself out. That shows they weren't sure about the follow on and am not sure how to score the 200 runs they want.

 

[Adil_94]

This is why NZ will never be a top team they are good at being the underdog but as soon as they are on top they flop

Wow!

 

[London_Lahori]

Ahh well bed time...

When I wake up I expect to see NZ 200-8

 

[Saeed]

10 wickets have fallen today.

 

[razabbas]

NZL commited sucide :/ they should enforce for follow on

 

[mithun_minhas]

15/4

Excellent stuff from India.

If India can get Ross Taylor out cheaply, NZ will not score more than 100 in their 2nd innings.

I still expect India to lose badly, but at least the bowlers will have belief that they can do well at this level.

 

[BlackThunder]

Get them out under 100 and we have a chance to chase this, forget the draw a win is on #kiwischoking

 

[EarthBoltX]

Weeeelll welllll welllll, Kiwis.
You're handing over the game on a silver platter.

Nice troll

India will still lose this.

We are not going to chase anything in excess of 300.

India will lose this test match by about 150 runs.

I would be interested to see what india can do in the 2nd innings, but if bowlers can up their game, and batsman show a bit more fight then will put in confidence in the team!

 

[OZGOD]

Definitely an entertaining game for the neutrals. With so much time left and NZ having nearly lost half their side in their second innings already, I feel like all three results are still possible - India win is very unlikely but they have a sniff because NZ lost 4 wickets and it's only lunch on Day 3. Don't underestimate the value of batting time, because India will have a lot of it if NZ are rolled today. This next session will determine if we can rule out an Indian win or not.

Not an Indian fan I genuinely think if NZ are bowled out under a 100 you have a chance

 

[mithun_minhas]

That is what I am hoping for too...

As long as this mental midget team goes down fighting, I will have no issues. Will be a good thing for the future.

This Indian team has no self belief in test matches especially in overseas conditions.

 

[saadsahabjee]

India didn't played well in the first innings but paid well in the second.

As long as weather doesn't save the Kiwi's

 

[Adil_94]

As long as weather doesn't save the Kiwi's

Your batsman still need to step up that first innings display was pathetic but if Pujara and Kohli perform to their ability India have a chance

 

[Aman]

Good thinking from McCullum, have India play the same team for second Test

 

[battler]

Ahh well bed time...

When I wake up I expect to see NZ 20-8

Fixed

 

[Aman]

We still have plenty of batting...

Taylor, Anderson, Watling, Ish, Southee, Wagner and Boult...

Just need one fifty to kill off game for India.

Thank god Pujara isn't batting, we just need to bat time till it starts to rain and juices up the pitch.

 

[Adil_94]

Shami is bowling some rippers

 

[Saeed]

Good for their confidence.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Everyone's quiet, means a lot of tuk tuk going on.

 

[Adil_94]

Shami is bowling a beautiful spell unlucky not to get Taylor

 

[Adil_94]

Shami gets Anderson with a beauty game on

 

[mithun_minhas]

Defense is not Anderson's Forte......

 

[Snow]

Wow, what a ball

 

[Adil_94]

Shami has been exceptional in this spell has used the new ball perfectly

 

[BlackThunder]

Shami has been destructive #whataplaya

 

[On_the_up]

Could this match be over by today?

 

[mithun_minhas]

Nice to see an Indian bowler bowling beautiful line with pace after a long time.

Shami, tussi great ho...

 

[BlackThunder]

Dhoni needs to keep Ishant away forget about his 6 wickets we cannot leak runs here #keepupthepressure

 

[Adil_94]

Shami has been outstanding in this spell sir Ishant should follow his example

 

[BlackThunder]

Shami my boi #ripperafterripper

 

[mithun_minhas]

Shami has been outstanding in this spell sir Ishant should follow his example

Ishant is not good enough to even tie Shami's shoes.

 

[Adil_94]

Ishant is not good enough to even tie Shami's shoes.

He has 150 test wickets don't disrespect this future HOF

 

[Adil_94]

NZ have choked so badly to collapse to 26/5 on this wicket is pathetic

 

[Snow]

Shows India messed up first inning when bowling.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Slip fielders should come at least a meter in.

 

[NZcricketfan]

NZ have choked so badly to collapse to 26/5 on this wicket is pathetic

Same can still happen to India.

 

[Adil_94]

Same can still happen to India.

Yeah but to be 26/5 vs Indian bowling attack should be a criminal offense

 

[Adil_94]

Shami bowling a Jimmy style spell

 

[Myrmidon]

Cannot believe it. might start taking the contact I know seriously after this. Boldly said a few hours before the match, NZ will collapse and be bowled out very cheaply but still win the match.

I also now believe his bashful statement about the two finalists of the T20 World cup and Asia cup winner

 

[OZGOD]

Enzed doing their best to let India back into it. Talk about having no killer instinct. I guess they haven't been in this situation before.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Shami bowling a Jimmy style spell

How can that be? He is taking wickets.

 

[OZGOD]

Nobody is saying that NZ is losing the game.

If India can get Kiwis cheaply at least once, their confidence will be back. Will help them in the 2nd test.

Yes the Hobbit charge has been slowed. They won't want to give India some self belief back.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Mop man into the attack.

 

[OZGOD]

How can that be? He is taking wickets.

Lots of humidity and clouds. Hence a Jimmy spell.

 

[mithun_minhas]

If only Shami had Ishant's height.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ball getting old.

India needs couple more wickets quickly.

Do reveal his future predictions. Money to be made

Why not all five remaining!!

We are Indians bro.

Lower expectations when it comes to bowling.

 

[Adil_94]

In swinging conditions Jimmy is a different kind of beast :Wasim

 

[Seen Sheen]

Last recognized pair batting. India can't relax.

 

[Saeed]

Who is expecting 200 runs partnership now?

 

[BlackThunder]

Ishant needs to keep it tight here cannot afford to give away runs #mightyishant
