Tbh I feel NZ fans pain a bit losing from winning positions is what Pak have done a lot Galle 2009 Sydney 2010 come to mind but this if India win will be the biggest choke in history

Galle 09 was bad but it was not a choke. It was a low scoring game and there wasn't much to choose between the two sides.

Here NZ are struggling after getting a THREE HUNDRED runs lead.

If NZ go on to lose this, this would be as bad as Sydney '10.
 
India have got all the momentum tbh if NZ got 200 yesterday this game would've been over that was a Pakistani esque performance
 
Feel for McCullum people will come for his head after this...

The follow on decision is all in hindsight now..
 
Kohli has to be patient with southee.
See him off and attack the rest.
 
Latest bookie odds are INDIA TO WIN 3/10 Odds

A gamble of 100 pennies wins 130 pennies.

India are slowly becoming favourites!

No. Plenty of posters here said at that time that it was a bad decision. Should have finished India off when they were under pressure from kiwi bowlers.

Galle was a choke SL made 300 in 1st innings and we made 340 in 1st innings not that low scoring overnight we were 71-2 chasing 168 we choked big time Sydney was worse in a way to this test as Pak fixed to lose Kamis dropped catches handed AUS the game but this will be equally heart breaking for NZ fans
 
Bad over 18 runs!

And this over :four more

India upping the rate
 
Got to feel for Brother Sodhi.

2 things are going against him.
1) He is bowling to Indians who always play leggies really well.
2) He is bowling too many boundary balls.
 
This Sodhi guy is bowling short, full tosses, down the leg side and outside off stump! Take him off and leave him off.
 
Brilliant knock by Dhawan under pressure he's on his way to shaking off the FTB tag
 
Ish is still raw, needs to play more before getting a real gauge.
 
It was a poor decision to play him against India, we should have gone with 4 seamers I said this earlier. India are just too good against spin.

He is just a terrible spinner full stop. No fight, no guile no drift in his bowling. On top of that bowls plenty of poor deliveries in an over.
 
India require another 190 runs with 8 wickets remaining

Mental advantage India have to say now.
 
If the score comes down to 150 without the loss of another wicket, NZ will choke under pressure.

Its now or never for Kiwis. They need wickets now in quick succession.
 
Wicket flattened up yesterday, we just didn't take advantage of it.


I know it's flattened out but scoring a ton in the 4th innings chasing a big score should always be appreciated
 
From Mohandas Menon: "The last Indian opener before S Dhawan to score a 4th inngs 100 in an away Test match was Sunil Gavaskar 221 at the Oval Sept 1979"


Is PP slow?

As i speak, Kohli gone, huge blow India!

Sometimes when I post it takes a minute or so.

Its not about hindsight, its a captain trying to be over smart.

His bowlers in 16 overs had just taken 6 wickets with the swinging ball.

India was under the gun, why give them a sniff.
 
It was the right move, we just batted like headless chicken.

your bowlers just took 6 wickets in 16 overs.

they are on top

the confidence of the other team is shaken

go for the kill!


you know the conditions were overcast the ball was swinging, why put your batsman under pressure.


Stupid decision

Sun was out and it was great batting conditions, we just batted really poorly and Shami bowled exceptionally. Regardless if we can't bat in those conditions we don't deserve to win.
 
What a ball, that was like the Pujara ball. Just rohit isn't as good as Pujara to edge it
 
Dhawan can't do a Tendulkar get a ton then get out and leave his team mates to get them over the line

It was bad but like I said you cant compare Galle test with this test. It was not as if we led Sri Lanka by 200 plus runs. It was a difficult wicket to bat on. Likes of Yk got 4-5 wickets in the match. Only Yousuf performed as a batsman in that game.
We did play some bad shots in 4th inns but Hearth too was on top of his game. Also this is NZ's Home game while ours was at Sri Lanka's fortress.

All in all it was bad but not as bad as Sydney (or this match if NZ do lose somehow).
 
Need a 80 to 100 run partnership to ease things up for india

Yeah I agree with you it's not as bad but was still heartbreaking for me I remember I woke up expecting to see Pak winning and saw us 117-9 with Abdur Rauf batting my whole family was in shock felt like crying then as I was only 15
 
Indian fans shouting boring in the stadium because of a maiden it's not IPL :Srini
 
I usually don't judge someone this early but I don't like what I see.

Muirhead on the other hand looks a very exciting prospect.
Oh yeah against some hacks in BBL and the mentally shot English?..
