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

[Justcrazy]

India looking good , Trail by 137 runs only

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs coming easily now.

 

[Sandeep]

Great length..

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 61 already

 

[MarkCooper]

NZ must be struggling. The commies have started moaning.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis getting nothing here , These two bringing Kiwis on knees

 

[Sandeep]

What a shot! Nice :4

 

[Sandeep]

Dhawan is getting on terms with overseas conditions now..

 

[Electron]

Dhawan has improved for sure. Last inning wasn't a fluke.

 

[Electron]

:6 Dhawan

 

[badhmash_kaka]

6 take that..now that is dhawan we know

 

[battler]

Brilliant from dhawan.
Nice 50.time for a big one!

 

[Justcrazy]

INDIA trail by 108 runs with 9 wickets in hand

 

[Justcrazy]

12 overs remaining , Kiwis would be :12 :

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhawan 64 not out , super innings from him

 

[Buffet]

NZ needs to get Dhawan quickly otherwise he will simply take the game away.

This no ball business is funny. Umpire missed two consecutive no balls and nothing was done because no one was out on those two balls, lol.

 

[Sandeep]

That dance of fool Ranvir Singh is cringeworthy!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara gone

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ahhh!!

Pujara goes.

 

[battler]

Pujara .
Huge blow!

 

[battler]

Ishant is the night watch man.

 

[mithun_minhas]

That dance of fool Ranvir Singh is cringeworthy!

Never understood the hype for these useless movies.

 

[badhmash_kaka]

time for pak fans to come out

 

[Sandeep]

Sharmaji.. )

 

[battler]

Kettleborough is an awesome umpire!

 

[Justcrazy]

11 overs left in the day.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ian Smith very disappointed.

 

[Sandeep]

Making use of night watchman, the right thing to do

 

[mithun_minhas]

Sharma can hang in there even though he looks hopeless with the bat.

 

[Buffet]

What a contrast between two umpires. Richard is spot on all the time and Davis makes one mistake after another. Not making this comment based on this series but just a general observation.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Where is kohli

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by exactly 100 now.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Where is kohli

He chickened out and sent Ishant in

 

[Justcrazy]

Good decision here , Sharma can easily hang around here.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Dhawan in 70s here

 

[Ibad17]

Indian team looking for a solid score..

 

[mithun_minhas]

Is Dhawan still an FTB?

 

[Buffet]

Is Dhawan still an FTB?

I think it's meaningless to give any kind of tag to any player after 3-4 tests.

 

[badhmash_kaka]

only ftb in this team is nohit and rahane

 

[Sandeep]

Is it stumps?

 

[DrSchultz]

Why doesn't Dhoni ever lose the toss?

 

[loves_cricket]

We are Bangladesh,We are Bangladesh,We are Bangladesh,We are Bangladesh,We are Bangladesh,We are Bangladesh,We are Bangladesh,........ remember that!

 

[ahamedirshad123]

only ftb in this team is nohit and rahane

didn't watch rahane in sa?

 

[Justcrazy]

Indians have played well , great effort

 

[Eye_Done]

Is Dhawan still an FTB?

Against teams with half decent bowling attack yes he is. There's a reason NZ is ranked number 8 test side

 

[Justcrazy]

India should get a good lead here , and then roll over Kiwis , a 4th day win here on cards.

 

[Justcrazy]

is damn lucky for toss , he is on a real roll at winning toss

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis would have wanted at least 4 wickets by stumps today , had they got rid of ishant today it would have been somewhat good for them

 

[Buffet]

only ftb in this team is nohit and rahane

He played well in SA. You can't start putting random tags after 2 poor showings when he has hardly played much cricket. Based on what I saw in SA series, he looked a solid batsman to me. Indians should give him an extended run in test side.

Sharma has also not played much but I kind of doubt his attitude. He doesn't look hungry enough for runs like Pujara or Kohli.

 

[battler]

Dhawan has been excellent.very happy to see him back in form.
Make no mistake,this pitch is green and nz have pretty decent seamers,he's scored at a brisk rate as well.

 

[loves_cricket]

Still long way to go into this match, just slightly better day in office for us today.

 

[loves_cricket]

Any ways when I had seen only 6 pages on this thread, I knew we must be doing good today!!!!1

he made couple of half centuries there but never looked in control anytime in those innings. always look tentative in middle. I hope he proves me wrong. I find murali Vijay to be more confident player

Well, I was only able to see highlights due to the time difference but he showed great application by taking blows on his body and leaving the ball well. I think he has it in him to do well and needs to given a long run. I was simply talking about my impression here and that had nothing to do with how much he scored. Parallel example, Pujara was playing solid in this ongoing test. He got a very good ball and got out after 20 odd runs but simply looking at him you can tell that he is cut for test level.

Sure, all guess works won't come true.

 

[Moosa]

Only 6 pages on this marvelous day

 

[IndianWillow]

What a day for India, New Zealand 105 and 192 in two consecutive innings. And what is happening to Ishant??

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good day for India, Kiwis self destcuting with the bat once again, nothing new there. India should be looking for a healthy lead here on 1st inns

 

[Sandeep]

No self destruction, it was good bowling on a good pitch

 

[Sandeep]

I wish India gets more of these kind of pitches so our bowlers can do better!

 

[Moosa]

Good day for India, Kiwis self destcuting with the bat once again, nothing new there. India should be looking for a healthy lead here on 1st inns

Lol at self destruction

 

[London_Lahori]

So NZ got to 192, not bad considering where they were.

Dhawan doing well for India, batting at a good pace. Early morning session tomorrow holds the key.

 

[saiyan0312]

India,s day. They destroyed the kiwi,s so far. alot depend on day 2.
