[WebGuru]

[Justcrazy]

lead 263 runs here.

India bowled over 270 overs against Sri Lanka in Jayawardene debut game.

That was a pathetic pitch even for subcontinent standards.

 

[Minku]

Im impressed with Shami...guys got heart rest look like hot garbage going through the motions.

 

[Saeed]

If I was Mac I would continue to bat and declare before 10 overs are left on 5th day.

 

[WebGuru]

What are the most overs bowled by a team in an innings for all time?

WI bowlers bowled 319 overs against Pakistan in 1 innings when Hanif Mohammad saved the match after a follow on and batted for 970 minutes.

Ok now i think game is out of Indias hand, NZ is looking good to set target of at least 350 runs in 70 overs. Can India chase that? They should go for it like Pakistan did, they will lose series anyway otherwise.

 

[SL_Fan]

Most likely situation - NZ win if lead is 400. No way any team is going to chase 400 with 5 runs per over. Side trying is likely to get bowled out with an extremely high chance. You can pack one side and bowl negative line for 70 overs. Let Indians chase and lose this test. That's what B MAC should do. I think NZ will win it here because Indians may go after even that kind of target.

Bigmac won't do a Mathews tho I'm sure of it. He'll go for wickets no matter what. India still not out of this by any means. NZ still have to bat out 30 odd overs the way I see it to get the ascendancy. India still prolly slightly ahead in this game imo.

 

[trogger]

lol why would you declare when you are 1-0 up. Just keep grinding India into the dust.

they would be nuts to give india any chase at less than 7 an over, fightbacks like this are rare even for the very best teams so kiwis would be within their rights to not give india a sniff.

Still lot of work for that to even be a talking point, lead isn't even at 300 yet let alone 400.

 

[Justcrazy]

15 overs left

 

[Minku]

Never realized how many batting records india has against them, every where u look the top of the list will say against India.. Was just searching if Mcullum was close to highest run getter in two test series. He is still quite a way off but highest is Jayasuriya against India.

Ball has just stopped swinging.

 

[Buffet]

Ok now i think game is out of Indias hand, NZ is looking good to set target of at least 350 runs in 70 overs.

I had stopped watching the game when Indians were batting the last few overs because game was becoming too much in favor of India. Now I think it is a reverse situation. NZ is not going to lose from here and I think they will win because Indians may try to chase ridiculous target in very few overs. NZ bowling is not bad and they have 5 fast bowlers.

Good luck to both teams here! I am heading out to my fiends place.

 

[Minku]

Ball has just stopped swinging.

It got smacked like a bi***h whatelse do you expect??

 

[Justcrazy]

lead 265 runs now

 

[Saurav]

What the hell

 

[DrSchultz]

I hope NZ never declares and just plays through tomorrow.
Will be interesting. Just keep batting.. thews
All Indian bowlers will break down.

 

[DrSchultz]

macca six against jadeja

I think NZ is safe. Indians are not going to take quick 4 wickets here.

Man,I bet the bowlers were taken off in stretchers!!
Gosh 319 overs is mind numbing!

 

[Justcrazy]

The game looks out of India hands now.

 

[WebGuru]

Man,I bet the bowlers were taken off in stretchers!!
Gosh 319 overs is mind numbing!

thats why he is called the first little master 970 minutes mean almost 3 days batting is just wow after a follow on

 

[Buffet]

Where is OZGOD? He told me that he will swim across the river in cold if NZ bats for 6 sessions, LOL.

 

[Justcrazy]

lead 273 runs already .

 

[NZcricketfan]

Where is OZGOD? He told me that he will swim across river in cold if NZ bats for 6 sessions, LOL.

I saw him post that too. This needs to be done.

 

[battler]

Mccullum can break lara's record!

 

[Justcrazy]

Where is OZGOD? He told me that he will swim across the river in cold if NZ bats for 6 sessions, LOL.

[Justcrazy]

[mithun_minhas]

Pls declare quickly and let India make a dash for it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 75 runs

 

[Buffet]

I saw him post that too. This needs to be done.

Well, I am off for today but remember to catch him on this if you see him posting today.

 

[NZcricketfan]

As a New Zealander used to seeing batting collapses pretty much every match this definitely isn't boring.

Bahahahaha let's see if he's a man of his word.

 

[mithun_minhas]

If they bat after getting more than 350 lead, I doubt MSD will let his phast bowlers bowl.

You can expect Rahane, Nohit bowl for the rest of the day. MSD is not stupid if Kiwis want to troll him

 

[NZcricketfan]

In these two tests Mccullum has scored 10 % of his test runs.

 

[mithun_minhas]

As a New Zealander used to seeing batting collapses pretty much every match this definitely isn't boring.

Tired of seeing singles taken and crowd clapping and Indian bowlers barely able to run.

 

[Buffet]

I saw him post that too. This needs to be done.

I think it was when Rutherford was batting and I said NZ can try to bat for 6 sessions and then NZ will be safe. Don't know how to find it. I think he won't deny saying it so no need to look for it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mac must be tired , Test is all about concentration , he is approaching a big milestone here.

 

[mithun_minhas]

In these two tests Mccullum has scored 10 % of his test runs.

Big hearts

 

[Strike Rate]

BCCI just called ECB they want to delay the upcoming series. Reason the world class bowlers are tired

 

[SL_Fan]

in these two tests mccullum has scored 10 % of his test runs.

lol

 

[Buffet]

Bahahahaha let's see if he's a man of his word.

It's very cooooooooooooold. I will settle for even 2 minutes of swim.

 

[Justcrazy]

10 overs left now

 

[mithun_minhas]

Nohit into the defense.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharma bowling here , I mean Rohit.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis would bat out today , and think about declaration tonight.

 

[SL_Fan]

It's very cooooooooooooold. I will settle for even 2 minutes of swim.

Below freezing all over US last I heard. Must be fun!

 

[Fallen King]

[kinventor]

Which indian fielder was that? Hahahah

 

[jattafridi]

300 lead what a come back from Nz

 

[WebGuru]

Macca now batting at 275* second highest score by a NZ batsman in Tests.

 

[SL_Fan]

300 lead now still can't believe it. Amazing!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Reham karo Kiwi bhai log!!!!

Enough of this torture. Just go boom boom for 5 overs and then declare with a 350 lead.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Neesham will also score a century if Kiwis bat enough.

 

[jattafridi]

Unbelievable performance Nz

 

[NZcricketfan]

How long before we see a report in the media with Sunil Gavaskar crying.

 

[SL_Fan]

Match in the balance now I would say. Still any one's game.

 

[battler]

India should resign!

 

[jattafridi]

India still can win it

 

[WebGuru]

India should resign!

Dhoni should resign from Test captaincy.

 

[battler]

U cannot torture endangered species!

 

[battler]

I think we need to tour namibia,to register our next over-seas victory.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 overs left

 

[WebGuru]

50 for Neesham. Well played!

 

[trogger]

So where do you kiwis rate that partnership?

Up with the best ever for nz?

 

[mithun_minhas]

Trolling much??

Anyone's game??

 

[NZcricketfan]

And people were calling Jimmy Neesham a tailender.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think we need to tour namibia,to register our next over-seas victory.

The series against Kiwis was the best bet , I doubt India can win in England or Australia. Though they should draw a few games . The problem is that the pitches will be like , that you have to win or loose.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Forget Neesham.

Even if Boult comes, he will score a century too.

Pitch is dead and so are the Indian bowlers.

 

[SL_Fan]

5 overs left in the day. A wicket here especially that of Bigmac's and India are back in it. If not it will be hard to pull things back tomorrow.

 

[WebGuru]

So where do you kiwis rate that partnership?

Up with the best ever for nz?

It should be there with the best. 352 runs partnership after 94/5 is something really special.

 

[trogger]

This is boring brothas.

Pls declare quickly and let India make a dash for it.

If you found the last 5 sessions boring then test cricket ain't for you.

 

[battler]

Dhoni should resign from Test captaincy.

Indian bowlers should resign!

 

[Justcrazy]

And people were calling Jimmy Neesham a tailender.

Kiwis Lower order has always been good. I remember Mills used to bat at number 10 / 11 , that guy was good enough to get 30 runs.
