Ishant is wasting the new ball.

This is the best time to grab some quick wickets and Ishant is not even making the batsmen play at the deliveries.

Time for Zak me thinks.
 
Someone please give Ishant a haircut,this bozo has dropped mccullum due to being unable to see the ball on the follow through due to his hair :facepalm:

Biggest stupidity is, that nobody has asked him to wear a hairband.
And they are supposed to be professionals! :-X

They probably never imagined that even Ishant could get a caught and bowled lol
 
I think Ishant & co will make a De Villiars & De Plessis out of these two batsman as well :facepalm:
 
Imagine if these 2 have partnership of 200 and tail add another 100.
 
24 overs left in the day.

I am sure NZ will wipe out the lead by the end of the day.

India should make sure they get 1 or 2 wickets by the end of the day. Preferably McCullam's wicket.
 
Great job by NZ. Now they are close to the same situation where last 5 wickets for India added around 250 runs. NZ needs to do the same.
 
If NZ bat at the same rate they are batting now, they should be able to get lead of 2 runs by the time its stumps.
 
Make or break for Indian bowlers now.

If they don't get 2 wickets before the end of the day, India will be chasing in excess of 150 and it can be anybody's game.
 
kiwis just have to find some openers fast, middle order really is pretty good but they can't keep coming in at 2/20 and doing the business.

If the top order had done their job these runs might actually mean soemthing as it is it's probably just going to help avoid an innings defeat.

Do you expect the pitch to change drastically ?

100 - 130 not tough to chase.
 
MAc 13 away from century and Watling 7. Mac will probably get it before.
 
Indian trundlers are making Watling and McCullum legends of the game.

Imagine if India cannot win this game. It would be one of the biggest choke jobs ever.
 
Trail 35 now and fast bowlers are bowling almost 2 half volleys in last few overs.
 
Kohli will be kicking himself for putting down that dolly.

Nz would have been all out by now had that catch was taken.

On the other hand I will not mind to see the match tomorrow again. Will be entertaining.

You have developed a habit of getting apprehensive of your team very quickly.
NZ are still trailing and they have only one batsman left. New ball is due. Even if they don't get any wicket today they can still nip them out tomorrow as NZ won't have gotten away with the game. Still it's kiwis who are feeling the heat. India still well ahead.


Even if this partnership score 100 more India shouldn't panic,just a matter of one good delivery.

I know India are still firm favs to win this game.

I just do not want NZ to bat till tea tomorrow. It means they would have a lead of close to 150 or more.

I have become lot more apprehensive after the sting of overseas defeats India had. We have no faith in our bowlers. Once opposition starts dominating them, they lose heart and become absolute donkeys.
 
All it takes is one good delivery. Indian bowlers are letting Brendon and Watling settle on the backfoot and play it to the ground.
Shami and Zak need to pitch it up a bit more and invite them to drive.
 
Even in last innings after having NZ at 86/6 India let them double their score.

Till tea, lol are you serious! Even Indians are not that bad that they will let Kiwis bat till tea.. Chill out dude, I ll only start worrying if these two are still batting and lead is past 100.

India can chase down around 200 even though I think that's massively unlikely.

We have made legends out of nobody's and it is our specialty. :yk
 
Lol I think that might have been hitting, good work by brother steve.
 
Great ton by McCullum.

He does have genuine batting talent and ability when he puts his mind to it. Not just a hack.
