New Zealand V India | Second Test | Wellington | Day 1 | 14th February 2014

[London_Lahori]

Huge appeal

 

[London_Lahori]

On field call, just clipping leg.

 

[London_Lahori]

I know you are desperate to see Indian FTB's struggle on this pitch

Loll, just so it's fair for both teams.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ishant is bowling non-stop.

 

[London_Lahori]

49/4

24 overs

 

[Space Cat]

Good shot Kane.

 

[London_Lahori]

Ishant is bowling non-stop.

Dhoni must be thinking this doesn't happen every day, better make the most of it.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Ishant is bowling non-stop.

India have no other choice.

 

[London_Lahori]

Corey is struggling.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Loll, just so it's fair for both teams.

You will get enough fodder to troll Indian posters when we bat

 

[London_Lahori]

Being a left hand bat myself, got to admit that angle from around the wicket is troublesome when the bowler can move the ball away in the air and off the seam.

Shami can also nip it back.

 

[mithun_minhas]

India have no other choice.

This is one reason why he gets picked in the team.

Ishant is like a work horse. Can bowl really long spells.

Someone like Shami or Bhuvi cannot bowl more than 5 or 6 overs in a row.

 

[mithun_minhas]

I cannot believe Zak was picked a head of Bhuvi in this game.

 

[London_Lahori]

You will get enough fodder to troll Indian posters when we bat

I'll be asleep, tucked up in my warm bed when India are batting lol

 

[London_Lahori]

up for NZ

50/4

 

[NZcricketfan]

I cannot believe Zak was picked a head of Bhuvi in this game.

I would have gone for Panday.

 

[London_Lahori]

Noooooo it's a no ball!!

 

[London_Lahori]

Sunny Gavaskar trying it )

 

[Space Cat]

That should be a no ball.

 

[London_Lahori]

Lol! Zak finally gets a wicket and it's a no ball

 

[London_Lahori]

Brilliant ball though.

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 up for nz

 

[Space Cat]

Phew! thats a big let off just before lunch.

What a ball by zaheer though.

 

[London_Lahori]

That should be a no ball.

Did you hear sunny )

 

[Moosa]

Great session for India. Showing to the world why we are ranked 2 side

Top team.

 

[mithun_minhas]

LOL

Zak can't buy a wicket.

 

[London_Lahori]

Phew! thats a big let off just before lunch.

What a ball by zaheer though.

I just started a thread about Kane Williamson being world class, was literally just about to hit post thread when he got out.

I cancelled it to come in this thread .

I'm not going to make the thread now, might curse him.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Great session for India. Showing to the world why we are ranked 2 side

Top team.

The BCCI isn't North Korea you don't have to be delusional.

 

[Space Cat]

Did you hear sunny )

lol yep but at least he admitted he was bias.

I don't mind Sunny these days. Hes chilled out a lot.

 

[Space Cat]

Time to cook myself a feast.

 

[Buffet]

Great session for India. Showing to the world why we are ranked 2 side

Top team.

By taking 4 NZ wickets, LOL. You got to win games and series.

 

[Moosa]

The BCCI isn't North Korea you don't have to be delusional.

What delusional? We are ranked 2 team...you knw that right?

Our team is new so it will take little time...but a team for future for sure .

 

[London_Lahori]

The BCCI isn't North Korea you don't have to be delusional.

he might be watching doctored TV

 

[NZcricketfan]

What delusional? We are ranked 2 team...you knw that right?

Our team is new so it will take little time...but a team for future for sure .

So? early 2000's NZ was ranked second in test matches and nobody would say we were the second best team in the world.

 

[Moosa]

This test will be over in 4 days. Kiwis trolled themselves with this green track

Backfired

 

[Buffet]

So? early 2000's NZ was ranked second in test matches and nobody would say we were the second best team in the world.

In all probability, Indians won't be ranked 2nd after their Eng series. 2nd best team tag is fair as long as rankings puts you at 1/2 spots for an extended period.

 

[Moosa]

Lol again umpire cheated India. Williamson was clearly out

 

[Buffet]

Lol again umpire cheated India. Williamson was clearly out

It looked not-out to me. Not 100% sure but there is no way it was certainly out.

 

[London_Lahori]

Top edge for four to start the session.

 

[London_Lahori]

Commies reckon NZ will be happy with 150-200.

 

[London_Lahori]

Pitch will get faster on days 2/3

 

[London_Lahori]

Anderson looking to get into OD mode.

 

[London_Lahori]

61/4

28 overs

 

[London_Lahori]

Lovely drive for 3 by Williamson.

 

[London_Lahori]

Anderson gets away with a hack, it goes straight up but alludes mid off and mid on... Gets two.

 

[Adil_94]

Just turned on the game the pitch is as green as the field this is just as bad as making a rank turner

Can't just rotate 3 seamers all day. They will get tired.

 

[Bullet Drive]

India haven't bowled well. Any other attack would have about 7 out by now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

That's what Anderson should do. Smash the bowlers!

 

[London_Lahori]

What a shot from Corey Anderson.

 

[London_Lahori]

He's come out with the right mindset after lunch. He's attacking the Indian bowlers and it may take them off their line.

At this stage a quick 40/50 from Anderson would be huge. It could get them to that 200. He should carry on playing like this.

No ball now from Ishant Sharma.

80/4

31.2 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

Woah. Hit so hard.

 

[battler]

Anderson hacking it

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great way of batting. Wish PAK had this mindset too.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Those two shots change a lot. Ishant under pressure.

 

[London_Lahori]

:4 what a shot down the ground from Anderson!

This reminds me a bit of Adam Gilchrist walking in test matches for Australia when they were 4/5 down sharpish. Good counter attacking.

 

[Bullet Drive]

84-4. Hope NZ can get too 200 real fast here.

 

[London_Lahori]

Anderson hacking it

Hacking would be across the line, which was what he done when he top edged it and got away with it.

Since then he's been hitting straight.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Zaheer Khan back on.

How rubbish is this lad.

 

[London_Lahori]

84/4

32 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

Played 90+ tests and still cannot control a swinging delivery. Tough for Zaheer out their.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ishant looks tough to play

 

[Bullet Drive]

Unlucky way to go.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ishant takes another. Loving this!

 

[London_Lahori]

Sharma gets Anderson caught in the slips! Edge onto his pads and into Kohli's hands.

Sharma now has 4/25

NZ 84/5

 

[Adil_94]

Ishant 4fer ATG doing it again hack shot by Anderson

Ishant Sharma - trolling Indian cricket since 2008.

 

[London_Lahori]

Watling has a good average. 33.68 is good for a keeper.

Would be happy I think if he gets that's average.

 

[Adil_94]

Played 90+ tests and still cannot control a swinging delivery. Tough for Zaheer out their.

At his peak Zaheer was a very good swing bowler but he's past it he should have retired after the World Cup in 2011

Wow it's 1.30AM GMT.... Completely lost track of time.

Time to go bed in a bit.

 

[Adil_94]

5fer for Ishant absolute ripper

[London_Lahori]

Watling goes!

 

[London_Lahori]

Sharma gets a 5fer

 

[battler]

5-fer for Ishant!

 

[London_Lahori]

Time to play some shots boys!

 

[Buffet]

NZ needs to score some runs here. This surviving game won't take them to even 200 runs.

 

[Adil_94]

Ishants 5fers are like buses you wait years coming for one then 2 come in succession

Williamson is the luckiest guy on earth.

 

[Adil_94]

Ishant and Zaheer both get Williamson on a new ball fixed

Another no-ball
I might die of anger
