New Zealand v India | 1st Test | Auckland | Day 4 | 9 February 2014

[Marshland]

What the heck we're just gifting away as many as EIGHT runs every over!!

 

[Aman]

Jadeja clutching it

 

[OZGOD]

You can't cowlash your way to a fifty against new ball.

Yes you can. Just need to get lucky. How else do you think Afridi has scored runs opening in Test cricket?

 

[badhmash_kaka]

now that's a shot of a lion hearted.. jadeja the man

 

[asadee]

NZ lack killer instinct

 

[mithun_minhas]

Jaddu attacks Southee and lashes him for

 

[OZGOD]

They want to do it quickly.

 

[hamzie]

nooooooo cmon nz

 

[Aman]

Raining boundaries, c'mon

 

[mithun_minhas]

2 more to Jaddu

 

[Aman]

NZ lack killer instinct

Minnowitis...

Australia would have wrapped it up.

 

[OZGOD]

Southee spraying it around like an uncontrolled fire hose now. Where are the length balls outside off stump?

 

[London_Lahori]

Positive cricket. India are going to win this.

 

[Aman]

Bring on Wagner.

12 from the over

315/6

 

[OZGOD]

Southee too straight. He's not bowling to his field

 

[Marshland]

Minnowitis...

Australia would have wrapped it up.

No they wouldn't. I remember one occasion against VVS Laxman recently when they were clueless going down to the wire, just like this.

India were like 8 or 9 down or something.

 

[mithun_minhas]

+100

 

[mithun_minhas]

92 to win.

but this test match has the thrill of one dayer or t20

yes yes yes yes

 

[Aman]

That's VVS.

Jadeja and MSD are not VVS.

 

[OZGOD]

RR of 6 the last 10. Enzed getting hammered

 

[Marshland]

Macca, stop looking at Sodhi. He's not the guy needed in this situation AT ALL!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

This is NZ mate they only have 500 people playing cricket in the whole country. Everyone else is playing rugby. They don't have world class fast bowlers by the dozen like you guys.

I was talking about their leg spinner, Sodhi. He lacks control and doesn't spin the ball much. Nz must be better off sending him back to domestic cricket otherwise Indians could kill him mentally.

We also don't have dozen world class fast bowlers. All up and coming are unproven. Hope they do become world class in coming years.

 

[Aman]

Wagner will have to come on soon.

Can't go to Anderson, Sodhi or Williamson.

 

[mithun_minhas]

No-ball now.

 

[akamaka]

Bowlers don't know what to bowl , too many leg side deliveries

 

[Aman]

Six

Expected I guess.. we were never going to win a close one.

 

[Marshland]

India will have choked if they lose it from here, only 89 left.

We need a hat trick here.

Edit: make that 85!!

Edit: 83.

 

[mithun_minhas]

by Jaddu

 

[badhmash_kaka]

jadeja what a shott 66666

 

[OZGOD]

No they wouldn't. I remember one occasion against VVS Laxman recently when they were clueless going down to the wire, just like this.

India were like 8 or 9 down or something.

We would never get into a position where we had a 300+ lead going into batting again and then fold for 100. That second innings collapse may yet come back to haunt you. And Sir Jaddu is a hack, not a Very Very Special player. He can cowlash a few though. Spincters tightening time for you guys now I think.

:6 for Jaddu

 

[MarkCooper]

Why did he not enforce follow on! It Swung all day yesterday!!!

 

[Aman]

Out!!

 

[Aman]

Sodhi takes the catch!

 

[Aman]

GO you beauty!

 

[mithun_minhas]

this time

Jaddu gone.

Game over.

 

[hamzie]

yes yes yes yes bye bye loser!!!!

 

[Marshland]

Got him YEAH!!

Told you he's a hack who'll fall sooner rather than later.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Yes you can. Just need to get lucky. How else do you think Afridi has scored runs opening in Test cricket?

Afridi actually played pretty sensibly in tests. The famous ton he got in Chennai was scored against the likes of Kumble. He didn't attack the new ball as far as I remember. Waited for spinners to come on and then changed gears.

 

[WebGuru]

Sir gone

 

[OZGOD]

And

goodnight nurse

 

[mithun_minhas]

Good effort from Jaddu.

Time for Tail to play around MSD

 

[WebGuru]

So time for Dhoni to go band bang

 

[akamaka]

Dhoni still there, guessing india will keep going on like this

 

[jattafridi]

Dhoni will do it for India

 

[Marshland]

We would never get into a position where we had a 300+ lead going into batting again and then fold for 100.

Except against South Africa in Newlands.

 

[sam_ahm]

wow! what a game this has been so far, one shot too many there by jadeja.

 

[mithun_minhas]

83 needed

3 wickets remianing.

 

[OZGOD]

I can hear McMillan in the background with the mikes off during the break saying "he didn't have to do this! he already had 5 on the over" and Sunny saying "yes he got carried away"

 

[Aman]

India will have choked if they lose it from here, only 89 left.

We need a hat trick here.

Edit: make that 85!!

Edit: 83.

Thank you

 

[Marshland]

Zaheer Khan is a bigger hack than Jadeja.

 

[badhmash_kaka]

jadeja out.. match gone

 

[Aman]

Zaheer should swing, he won't last blocking against a newish ball.

 

[mithun_minhas]

324/7

 

[Seen Sheen]

this time

Jaddu gone.

Game over.

Not as long as Dhoni is there.

 

[joly]

Mccullum's trick of delaying proceedings have worked,very smart from the kiwi skipper

 

[Aman]

Zaheer Khan is a bigger hack than Jadeja.

Who are you supporting

Your predictions have all gone wrong <.<

 

[kamal]

good contest between two evenly matched teams.

 

[Seen Sheen]

this time

Jaddu gone.

Game over.

Mode of dismissal? Went for one shot too many?

 

[Aman]

Dhoni needs to take strike and hit out.

 

[Marshland]

Who are you supporting

Your predictions have all gone wrong <.<

Short one almost squares him up!

 

[Aman]

God damn it

6

 

[OZGOD]

Except against South Africa in Newlands.

You really comparing Steyn, Philander, Morkel and Kalliszz to Shami, Zak, MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT and Sir Jaddu?

 

[MarkCooper]

I mean

:SIX

 

[mithun_minhas]

Zak cow lash

 

[OZGOD]

:6 for Zak

 

[Marshland]

[Aman]

Short one almost squares him up!

[mithun_minhas]

Tried to loft him for six.

Mistimed it to short long on.

 

[akamaka]

Zaheer backing away

 

[Marshland]

You really comparing Steyn, Philander, Morkel and Kalliszz to Shami, Zak, MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT and Sir Jaddu?

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

 

[Seen Sheen]

Who are you supporting

Your predictions have all gone wrong <.<

What about yours?

 

[OZGOD]

If each of the tail gets 15 and MS gets 33 more they will win it

 

[MarkCooper]

Zaheer showing all three stumps lol

 

[mithun_minhas]

329/7

78 to win.

 

[Aman]

What about yours?

Yep but they've favored us

I'll be gladly wrong if it results in us winning.
