NZ vs Ind | 2nd Test | Christchurch | Feb 2020

[Vilander]

All 3 need to go a bit more full in same line. Kohli or pant needs to tell them.

[Vilander]

Better length from bumrah

[ShoonyaSifar]

Nearly 42% on short of length - criminal waste of the new ball on this pitch

[SUMO]

Isse acha smriti ka batting dekho. How elegant glorious lefthander she is.

[vvvslaxman]

Lengths are messed up. only 6 balls hit the stumps for us. Both Latham and Blundell played Bumrah off the backfoot. They leave the ball on height. New ball wasted. 

[Vilander]

What is shami trying ? 143 outside off 

[vvvslaxman]

With no Ishant not sure who will get wickets Jaddu is another darter.

[vvvslaxman]

Our kaptaan is such a stupid. Never has any plans for batsmen. 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Where has the fake aggression of Captain Cuckoo disappeared?

His shell life as a captain is ending.  Clear signs of that.

[sandsaims]

Looks like an innings defeat coming up. Indian bowlers not looking like picking any wickets.

[vvvslaxman]

There is no attempt to change things up much like how he did in the ODIs. Thakur, bumrah, Thakur, bumrah, shami, Bumrah, Thakur   .. KL Rahul took over captaincy. He brought on sundar upfront got  a wicket. This guy is probably the worst captain within the team. Shami probably might be better than him.

[vvvslaxman]

India should have had 5 bowlers. 

[Vickydev]

Look at Kohli...explaining how to take catches to fellow slip fielders, an apt leader for a bunch of nincompoops.

[Frustrated]

There should be some introspection after this series.   Our team has failed in every dept in both ODIs and Tests series.   Shameless captain Loli should resign from at least one of the formats. Preferably odis. He should just focus and play as a batsman.

The answer is in your post. It was fake after all.

he will go into post-CT 2017 final mode....will be seen discussing animatedly with new best fraand Kane about hotspots in NZ. Will be the perfect gracious losing captain to host broadcaster, but give tetchy, defensive, "we are a good team, one series loss and external noise notwithstanding" replies to Indian media. Shastri will remind journos that this same team beat Australia in Australia, and others might give up on the team but he won't, he will wave aside any pressing of 'panic button'.

 

Sadly, public memory is short so IPL song & dance followed by whipping SA in home ODI series will mean 'all izz well' until the T-20 WC and Aus series arrives.

This is the longest India have been wicketless with the first new ball since the SCG Test in Jan 2019

 

LOL Indian bowlers back to basics.

[Scar]

Thats why I hate watching our team play overseas. When opposition bats it seems like a wicket will never fall while when we bat it feels as if a wicket is just around the corner.

 

I took a break from cricket after our semi final loss, should have continued that. 

 

This dufus Bhuvi will be fit to play all the kitply, cycle agarbatti cup and gets injured where we actually need him eg: Eng, NZ.
