New Zealand V India | Second Test | Wellington | Day 4 | 17th February 2014

[anakwalajinn]

Don't really follow Indian cricket, so a question here for guys: is Jadeja really your first choice spinner in tests at the moment? Why?

 

[prayas]

Watching Indian bowling is more boring than watching Misbah tuk tuk

 

[London_Lahori]

Pujara ko usee keliye rakha hain.

Tali bajane keliye nahin.

I laughed when I heard that. MSD is doing something good, he's supplying some laughter for his players.

 

[London_Lahori]

Because ashwin is terrible outside of India!

 

[Saeed]

Double :century for Mac and 2nd one in this series.

 

[anakwalajinn]

What does that mean in english?

"That's why Pujara is placed there, and not for just (standing there) and clapping (around)".

It's cooler to say that phrase in Hindi/Urdu rather than English.

 

[London_Lahori]

:4 and 200 for McCullum!!

 

[London_Lahori]

Double hundreds in back to back test matches. His third against India.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Because ashwin is terrible outside of India!

Should bring back Harbhajan Singh, then, no?

 

[prayas]

Nope
In ODI OK as part time

 

[EarthBoltX]

Another big score for the big Mac. Well done.

 

[Ahson8]

200

 

[mithun_minhas]

What does that mean in english?

I placed Pujara for that shot. Not to just clap around.

Hard to explain in English for that situation.

 

[anakwalajinn]

120 km/h wide ball from Zaheer Khan...

 

[London_Lahori]

Should bring back Harbhajan Singh, then, no?

think he wasn't that good outside India anyway. He was better then this though.

In all honesty, they should give Ojha a go.

 

[London_Lahori]

What was that noise?

 

[anakwalajinn]

Zaheer's action looks like he is really cranking it up

 

[NZcricketfan]

Mccullum gets a lot of criticism at home. Big up for this innings.

 

[Saeed]

Z khan's average is almost 33.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Snicko showing a blip even though the ball was qute faraway from the bat.

Technology fail

Comedy tea with MSD

 

[anakwalajinn]

400 up. This must be furstrating. Kind of like the Sydney test for us...

 

[London_Lahori]

There was a sound though! I heard it in real time and I also heard a noise the last play and miss.

Creaky bat handle maybe?

 

[London_Lahori]

400 up. This must be furstrating. Kind of like the Sydney test for us...

Yeah, I've compared it to Sydney a couple of times in this thread today.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Should throw the ball to

 

[anakwalajinn]

Yeah, I've compared it to Sydney a couple of times in this thread today.

Just joined have an assignment that I need to finish in about 9 hours time. It's almost 3 am here. Not even started...

 

[mithun_minhas]

This is boring.

Like watching paint dry.

 

[prayas]

Zaheer's action looks like he is really cranking it up

I think this is last test match in this season..

 

[mithun_minhas]

Suddenly Kiwi commies showing some life.

Yesterday Doull and McMillan were literally crying.

 

[battler]

Zak was bowling well and they took him out

 

[EarthBoltX]

Suddenly Kiwi commies showing some life.

Yesterday Doull and McMillan were literally crying.

Can't really blame them.
For either.

I think BMac won't be satisfied unless this partnership alone chalks up at least 100 more.
The pitch is playing wonderfully for batting.

 

[prayas]

Dhoni to Mac : "mere pass kohli hai,dhawan hai,pujara hai,rahane hai
Tumhare pass kya hai"
Mac to Dhoni : "mere pass ishant,zak,jadeja,shami brigade hai"
Dhoni to Mac : "OK u won match"

 

[Minku]

Loving this fightback reminds me of Razzaq and Kami in Mohali but that was only for a day, this is almost 110 overs already

 

[London_Lahori]

:6 lovely uppercut

 

[London_Lahori]

Just joined have an assignment that I need to finish in about 9 hours time. It's almost 3 am here. Not even started...

how many words?

 

[battler]

Ishant is bowling pies please kick him out of the attack.

 

[London_Lahori]

Zak literally can't move in the field )

 

[London_Lahori]

:4

Lavvvly cover drive

 

[NZcricketfan]

Zaheer didn't even chase that.

 

[mithun_minhas]

'problem for India is Jaddu is not getting any assistance.

Normally the last 2 days, Spinners should get something from the pitch. But nothing here.

 

[prayas]

Bedi says last night
"Jab tak Bharat match nahi jitata tab tak mai bharosa nahi kar sakta phir chahe ek wicket kyu na baaki ho"

 

[anakwalajinn]

how many words?

No minumum or maximum. Need to pass this though to qualify for the exam.

Don't know what I will do to be honest.

 

[London_Lahori]

I want to go sleep 2AM, but if I move I'm worried a wicket might fall.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Pitches don't deteriorate in New Zealand.

 

[mithun_minhas]

BJ Watling should be added to the long list of Lallus whom India made to look good.

 

[London_Lahori]

No minumum or maximum. Need to pass this though to qualify for the exam.

Don't know what I will do to be honest.

Get an extension, go to the doc and get a sick note.

 

[Space Cat]

It took 147 overs for a fifth bowler to be finally used.

 

[NZcricketfan]

BJ Watling should be added to the long list of Lallus whom India made to look good.

He was our best batsmen against South Africa. Give people credit where they deserve it.

 

[London_Lahori]

Sharma sledging Watling in Hindi

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ishant should get Watling here. He is bowling well to him.

 

[prayas]

Dhoni after retirement
Mai aur mere bowlers kabhi dressing room me baate karate they iski wicket gayi hoti to kya hota,iski catch pakadi hoti to kya hota......mai aur mere bowlers....

 

[London_Lahori]

418/5

Lead by 172

How comes you're always double posting?

 

[London_Lahori]

Ok I'm going to bed.... Goodnight all.

 

[Space Cat]

If NZ manage to bat out the rest of the day the bowlers would of had 2 days rest.

 

[Saeed]

Kohli to get Mac out.

 

[London_Lahori]

If NZ manage to bat out the rest of the day the bowlers would of had 2 days rest.

If NZ bat out the day, they win this test.

 

[prayas]

How comes you're always double posting?

Dont know yaar even on some mobile forum,fb its double post
Its network problem i have always that problem as use sastawala and freewala net of uninor and airtel

 

[battler]

India waiting for second new ball

 

[mithun_minhas]

NZ cannot lose it from here.

I sat they should bat till the end of the day, have a lead of over 300 and declare.

Indian batsmen will be mentally tired and will choke.

 

[trogger]

If NZ bat out the day, they win this test.

If the kiwis bat out day 4 the draw starts to become a real chance, although they would also need to bat a fair bit of the 1st session day 5 with how flat the pitch is.

 

[prayas]

India waiting for second new ball

Correction third new ball

 

[NZcricketfan]

But the longer New Zealand bat the higher the required run rate to win goes and India have to go for the win.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Its draw or NZ win.

I will be surprised if India can even get a wicket here.

 

[London_Lahori]

If the kiwis bat out day 4 the draw starts to become a real chance, although they would also need to bat a fair bit of the 1st session day 5 with how flat the pitch is.

India would have been in the field for over two days. That's mentally and physically shattering. NZ would stand a chance.

[trogger]

Agreed, no matter who is bowling a number 7 batting 350 balls in this situation is top draw stuff.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Its over people.

Z won the series.

Unless something dramatic happens in the next 1 hour, it will be a tame draw.

 

[Space Cat]

McCullums back must be killing him out there.. Tough SOB.

 

[Space Cat]

3rd new ball not far off.

 

[Space Cat]

Fly slip in for Rohit Sharma.

I think Dhoni needs a drink of water.

 

[Extreme Pace]

Why India play Z. Khan (well past his expiry date) and I. Sharma (38 avg bowler after 50 Tests). Umesh Yadav and Ishwar Pandey should have been playing.

 

[Space Cat]

Lmao gavaskar becoming very sarcastic.

 

[Space Cat]

Keep going Brendon.

 

[mithun_minhas]

I think both teams should wave white flag and call it a draw.

India is not chasing anything close to 300.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Watching Rohit and Kohli bowl is cringeworthy.

 

[Anfield]

I like Dhoni's stamina.

 

[Space Cat]

McCullum clearly in pain here. Has an arthritic back.

 

[mithun_minhas]

I like Dhoni's stamina.

He is very strong for an Indian man.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Wheres the Indian propaganda brigade today?
