[battler]

Rahane should slog to his 100 now.
Don't trust zaheer and shami.

 

[Robbie]

One day I will create a thread of how many times Ive seen Dhoni being defensive has been the cause of indian bowlers not been able to pick wickets.

[prayas]

Rahane
Great inning great catch

 

[Robbie]

What a catch!!! Catch of the series. Incredible!!

 

[jeetu]

Magnificent outfield catch dismisses Rahane

 

[OZGOD]

Good ton for Rahane but now he is Boult takes a screamer with one hand

Too soon to say that. But he is better than MV or Rohit though.

 

[battler]

Lead of 246 for India.

 

[Justcrazy]

That is it , India finish with 246 runs lead !!!!

massive lead.

 

[Justcrazy]

I sense Innings win here for India.

 

[leatherface58]

Pujara > Rahane > Kohli > Dhawan >>> Vijay >>>>>>> Rohit.

 

[battler]

Pujara > Rahane > Kohli > Dhawan >>> Vijay >>>>>>> Rohit.

Even Ishant >>>>>>Rohit.

 

[OZGOD]

All out 438. Going to be very tough for the Hobbits. They will have to do their Uruk-Hai impersonations to get close to this. India may be terrible travellers but they do have a bit of class in their batting. Now let's see if the MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT can replicate his first innings heroics. This Hobbit batting lineup really only has 2 recognised batsmen in Williamson and McCullum who is hit and miss.

 

[leatherface58]

Even Ishant >>>>>>Nohit.

Indeed. Talunted should be dropped and India should play Ashwin. Ashwin is a better bowler and even he can get 'em stylish ducks.

 

[badhmash_kaka]

rahane is not >>> kohli... kohli is more consistent and did bat well in southafrica

NZ needs to bat for 6 sessions and make around 550 runs. If not then at least give Indians 200+ to chase and hope for a collapse. Wicket is great for batting right now and outfield is quick. So if you can bat long then runs will come. Problem is NZ batting having a game for it.

 

[battler]

Indeed. Talunted should be dropped and India should play Ashwin. Ashwin is a better bowler and even he can get 'em stylish ducks.

Ashwin is much more reliable with the bat than talunt.
Only down side is his pathetic fielding.

 

[OZGOD]

Which over will Rutherford get out?

 

[Justcrazy]

13 overs remaining , kiwis need to bat these out here.

 

[OZGOD]

NZ needs to bat for 6 sessions and make around 550 runs.

If this happens I will swim across the Charles River! In winter!

 

[battler]

2 metre peter

 

[MarkCooper]

poor 2 meter Peter. He hasn't been the same since that 100 against England in first Test.

 

[leatherface58]

Fulton won't even get half a ton.

 

[Justcrazy]

Zaheer strikes

 

[Justcrazy]

India on top

 

[NZcricketfan]

India on top

For the first time this series.

 

[trogger]

fulton...he is surely in the team as a specialist slip fielder?

 

[NZcricketfan]

fulton...he is surely in the team as a specialist slip fielder?

Made two centuries in a game against Englands seamers. Failed badly against Indias.

 

[Marshland]

We've messed it up.

 

[trogger]

Made two centuries in a game against Englands seamers. Failed badly against Indias.

With an averaged of just 28 and those two tons being his only ones he must have failed in nearly every series except for that one vs england.

 

[Buffet]

Rutherford is clueless here. Trying to drive it when only 10 minutes are left.

 

[Justcrazy]

10 / 1

Innings defeat for Kiwis likely here.

 

[NZcricketfan]

10 / 1

Innings defeat for Kiwis likely here.

Unlikely an Innings defeat to be honest. A loss but not by an innings These Indians are seriously delusional.
Probably think they can take on Mitchell Johnson just from this test.

 

[Justcrazy]

India bowling beautifully here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Wait and watch

 

[NZcricketfan]

Wait and watch

If this prediction is the same as every other one you have made this series then gladly.
