[Justcrazy]

Can india do this ?

 

[WebGuru]

59 runs in last 7 over. 8.43 RPO

 

[hamzie]

Can india do this ?

no

 

[OZGOD]

I know, but I was just pointing out the obvious exception in your point.

The overall point was that if you hadn't collapsed like girls blouses yesterday this should have been an easy day. When you let it get to this point anything can happen. Good for the neutrals though - for me in particular, watching Indians squirm and watching Kiwis squirm

 

[Justcrazy]

India will get close I think

 

[Marshland]

Dhoni has never played a match-winning knock in test cricket aside from a double century against Australia.

 

[mithun_minhas]

MSD takes a single.

Zak to face 4 balls now.

 

[Aman]

Yep we see plenty of Aussies squirming during rugby season, you might as well enjoy it now before the rugby season starts

 

[Justcrazy]

will be key

 

[Aman]

Keep it there

Zaheer bound to nick one

 

[Justcrazy]

I remember Laxman winning a game with ishant Sharma at the other end against Australia , that was sensational last wicket partnership

 

[mithun_minhas]

MSD needs to hit a bundary every over.

Taking a single of 2nd ball will not work for India.

 

[Justcrazy]

Only 77 required here , its not that much.

 

[Aman]

MSD exposing the tail..

 

[MarkCooper]

I still say this is going to day five

 

[WebGuru]

MSD exposing ZAK again and again

 

[Aman]

Wagner can clean up the tail, I'd give him a go soon.

 

[Justcrazy]

Zaheer survives !!!

 

[mithun_minhas]

How long will Zak hang around?

Surely he is going to try to lash a few around.

 

[Marshland]

Wagner should be in about now.

 

[Aman]

Zaheer should swing, there's no point blocking he's going to nick one eventually.

 

[asadee]

MAc is overbowling Southee..time for Wagner

 

[Aman]

Good shot from Zaheer..

 

[Strike Rate]

Where are the dam yorkers gone from cricket? we see tail defending and scoring freely these days

 

[mithun_minhas]

Cow lashed for a big

 

[Marshland]

Lol is that the only shot Zaheer Khan has in his arsenal?

 

[MarkCooper]

Tailender hogging strike from Dhoni lolll

 

[Aman]

Full and straight..

 

[mithun_minhas]

Single taken.

Zak trying to protect MSD by taking a last ball single

 

[jattafridi]

India winning this match for sure
They all can bat

 

[mithun_minhas]

69 to win.

 

[Justcrazy]

69 required now

 

[EarthBoltX]

Zaheer has his average, time for him to go?

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis batted poorly in second innings and let India in the game.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Match will be over today.

 

[mithun_minhas]

25 overs remaining,

69 to win for India.

3 Wickets to win for NZ

 

[asadee]

Get this Zak out please

 

[Marshland]

Tailender hogging strike from Dhoni lolll

Dhoni is a tailender in test matches as well.

 

[Aman]

Can't NZ take an extra 30 mins if India are 9 down?

 

[mithun_minhas]

Zak leaves 4 balls.

2 to go.

Cow lash coming on its way......

 

[MarkCooper]

Look who is in next!

 

[WebGuru]

Can't NZ take an extra 30 mins if India are 9 down?

yes they can ask the umpires and they will decide based on light

 

[Aman]

Shami should bat ahead of Ishant

 

[mithun_minhas]

Zak survives well.

Still 69 to win.

 

[Justcrazy]

keep updating score guys

 

[Justcrazy]

Ishant can defend well

 

[Aman]

Need 68 more.. 3 wickets left.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Again MSD takes a single of first ball.

 

[Marshland]

Lol why does Dhoni run first and second ball?

 

[mithun_minhas]

68 to win.

Zak to cow lash now.

 

[EarthBoltX]

339/7

 

[mithun_minhas]

2 runs taken.

65 to win.

 

[MarkCooper]

He is now batting above his average!

BREAKING NEWS: he should be out soon lolll

 

[Aman]

Bring on Wagner

 

[asadee]

NZ has no strategy..they just go with the flow

 

[Justcrazy]

will win this here , he is desparate.

 

[mithun_minhas]

2 more to Zak

63 to win

 

[mithun_minhas]

sorry 64 to win.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis have always stumbled on crucial stages.

 

[jattafridi]

NZ has no strategy..they just go with the flow

That's why they are number 8 team

 

[Marshland]

Bring on Wagner. Southee has had enough.

 

[MarkCooper]

sloggggggg

 

[mithun_minhas]

Zak survives
still 64 to win

 

[07sanjeewakaru]

Wonderful Test...!What a comeback by INDIA..!
I think If IND win this..It is the largest deficit to overcome in a Test..previous 291 by AUS vs SL at SSC in 1992....
Hoping for a Tied test........

 

[MarkCooper]

If india win this they will win the next test and take the series

 

[mithun_minhas]

Del

 

[Marshland]

Zaheer has a brain, turns down the single.

Pure comedy.

 

[MarkCooper]

helicopter shot

 

[mithun_minhas]

Now MSD takes a single.

 

[mithun_minhas]

63 to win

3 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need 3 good deliveries here

 

[mithun_minhas]

1 run

62 to win

 

[mithun_minhas]

Appeal

Leg bye

61 to win

 

[Marshland]

That was a good over from Boult.

 

[mithun_minhas]

346/7

61 to win

 

[joly]

that period of play where dhoni gave away Kiwis 25 extra runs by bowling Rohit sharma may just be the difference in the match

 

[Justcrazy]

India would be disappointed to loose from here

 

[blackanhyellow]

you turn down a single off the first ball of an over, to take a single on the second ball? captain cool needs to re-access his game plan.

 

[mithun_minhas]

that period of play where dhoni gave away Kiwis 25 extra runs by bowling Rohit sharma may just be the difference in the match

Good point.

NZ were 80/9 and they went on to score 105.

Those 25 runs could be crucial.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwi bowlers failing to deliever the final punch here again.
