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

[Seen Sheen]

Probably last over of the spell for Southee.

 

[Zero]

From what I'm reading, Southee seems to be bowling beautifully.

 

[Snow]

Kohli is not scoring

 

[Seen Sheen]

Kohli didn't look too comfortable there. Feet got stuck in the crease.

 

[London_Lahori]

Kohli looks so out of touch, hasn't got any swagger about him.

 

[Supporter of Pak legends]

I haven't lasted long enough into the day's play to see Ish Sodhi bowl (for the past few days, I've had sixth-form the very next day). Is he any good and plus, after how much time is he usually introduced into the attack?

It must be late in the day, given the swing bowling conditions that have been present in the past three days.

 

[Snow]

Southee will bowl one more over.

 

[London_Lahori]

I'd bring boult from Southee's end and then give Sodhi a go.

He gets turn and bounce, also has a good google. Potential there.

 

[BlackThunder]

One good partnership and the Kiwi's backs will be broken #slamthem #braketheirbacks #power

He was bowling in the end yesterday, and his last over was good, esp the last ball of the day to pujara was a beauty!

 

[Seen Sheen]

From what I'm reading, Southee seems to be bowling beautifully.

He hasnt bowled a single bad ball in this spell. Attacked the stumps on most occasions while every now and then bowled one outside off stump to lure the batsman. All in all has been a superb display of swing bowling.

Dude, calm down.

One more wicket and we will be in real trouble.

Match is very much in favor of Kiwis. Things are not easy for the batsmen out there. Ball is moving around.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wagner has been gun barrel straight, not doing anything with the ball.

I bet you post without hash-tags on Twitter.

 

[Seen Sheen]

A Kohli special. A beautiful cover drive. 4 runs.

 

[London_Lahori]

:4 Kohli nice drive

 

[London_Lahori]

I bet you post without hash-tags on Twitter.

probably doesn't even have twitter.

 

[Snow]

What a shot!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Only from Southee's hand.

Anyways I am going out to celebrate the victory enjoy the winning moments, its been fun #cheers

 

[Seen Sheen]

probably doesn't even have twitter.

Then the Twitter is crying out loud for him to sign up.

 

[London_Lahori]

:4

 

[Gone]

kohli looking better now

 

[London_Lahori]

Nice drive, didn't go through with it

Don't know what to say man.

 

[London_Lahori]

LOL fielding

:4 more

 

[Seen Sheen]

Kohli is flowing. Good news for India.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Woow!!!

BJ Watling got a rough decision there.

Ishant clearly overstepped.

Was it Davis?

 

[London_Lahori]

Wicket to fall after the drinks break.

 

[mithun_minhas]

India 121/2.

 

[London_Lahori]

Was it Davis?

Must have been lol

 

[Seen Sheen]

Must have been lol

I am sure as well.

 

[Haz95]

on a side note, is it weird that bowlers as talented as Southee, siddle, anderson etc average 30+...
all average less than 30 and play on flat wickets

 

[Gone]

Whos favourite right now? I think its no advantage to anyone atm!

286 Runs lead, pyschologically looks a lot better than 300+

India have 8 wickets too!

But I think if Nz get 2 or 3 more now, then Nzs

So cant say who yet!

 

[mithun_minhas]

I say 3rd umpire has to automatically check for No-ball when ever a wicket falls.

 

[Haz95]

Actually bolt averages 26 but hasn't looked amazing...hmmm

Its still NZ's game to lose.

Until the target comes down to under 200, you cannot say who is winning it.

Kiwis are just Kohli's wicket away from a major win.

 

[Haz95]

Boult is bowling at 128....Trundler level

 

[Haz95]

It's boring watchin people bowl wide of off stump

 

[kinventor]

No swing at all, nz is ****sed

 

[Bilal7]

India got this. They have two days to chase down 286, if the Pakistani batting can chase that score down in two sessions, why can't the much vaunted Indian batting?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Must have been lol

I just inspected, it was indeed Davis who missed that no ball. God, he is a pathetic umpire.

 

[London_Lahori]

Overcast conditions and a bit of rain (leading to moisture) and the ball will start talking.

 

[London_Lahori]

Lol, he even has the option to check with the 3rd umpire. How inept can you get.

 

[Seen Sheen]

136/2 .
270 more required.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Lol, he even has the option to check with the 3rd umpire. How inept can you get.

Probably was napping at that time.
Have noticed he thinks too highly of himself.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Decent first over by Sodhi.

 

[Seen Sheen]

125 kph from Anderson.

 

[London_Lahori]

NZ need a wicket here.

 

[London_Lahori]

:4

 

[London_Lahori]

140/2

Dhawan on 66 and Kohli on 31

 

[London_Lahori]

Another :4

Full toss.

Sort it out Sodhi.

144/2

 

[EarthBoltX]

Sodhi taking some lessons from Imran Tahir.

 

[Gone]

Kohli back to back 4

 

[MarkCooper]

My bookie currently has India 4/5 odds to win.

So if you bet 200 pennies you would win 360 pennies.

 

[Gone]

50 partnership, good stuff from these boys

 

[London_Lahori]

Kohli takes Sodhi for 14 in that over.

150/2

 

[Gone]

4 more...

This over 14 runs by Kohli, 3 fours!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Sodhi taken to the cleaners by Kohli.

 

[MarkCooper]

 

[Glory Of '09]

I think kohli will finish this today. They need him soon otherwise he will destroy them .

 

[Seen Sheen]

Poor control by Sodhi.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Cut away over gully for four by Dhawan.

 

[MarkCooper]

Bookies are making odds of india win more likely.

Now 8/13 so gamble 100 pennies and win 161 pennies.

 

[London_Lahori]

He keeps bowling the odd long hop. May as well bowl Williamson a couple of overs.

 

[Gone]

Kohli brings up 45 with a four!

 

[MarkCooper]

 

[Gone]

Both batsman looking set and boundaries coming!

 

[Gone]

India require another 245 runs with 8 wickets remaining

#WhatAMatch #AmazingComeback #HistoryInTheMaking

I love #HashTags too

 

[Bilal7]

India ahead as long as this partnership continues.

 

[asadee]

easy win for India

 

[mithun_minhas]

easy win for India

Still a long way to go.

 

[Gone]

Kohli in the last 12 months is averaging 55 in Tests, and in the last 2 years, is averaging 53.

His overall Avg is 44.

I think he has finally set his foot on the Test Stage, after a blistering start to ODI.

Whatta Player!

 

[Gone]

Still a long way to go.

I think its time for us indians to be optimistic.

 

[amax]

Historic Indian win on the cards.

 

[Gone]

Before this match: Dhawan Avg: 45.57 Now Averages: 49.12

This is Dhawans second highest score and first 40+ score after a terrorising debut.

I hope this is the match dhawan hits form.

 

[Gone]

Want Aman here, no fun without him!

 

[Gone]

Deficit less than 250.
