cowboysfan Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I am glad ishant is playing,he will get great bounce and he will make batsmen play with his inswingers. Link to comment
Gollum Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Saha may have played his last test against BD. Happy for Pant, he deserves selection, hope he gets a big one here. Link to comment
putrevus Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Playing a sixth batsmen gives so much room for error.If so called bits and pieces allrounder was playing instead of Vihari and Saha instead of Pant, we would be looking at long tail now. We now atleast have batsmen till no8. Edited February 21, 2020 by putrevus Link to comment

putrevus Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 That was such a stupid shot.Three of four wickets have been due batsmen errors. SRT100 1 Link to comment

NZ will put up a total of 500 It is easiest to bat on days 3 and 4, there will some juice till tomorrow tea I guess, afer that flattens out considerably. If we can get 300 and put them to bat tomorrow morning, with overcast conditions we give ourselves a chance to bat again when it is damn easy. Then set a target and hope 4th innings run chase pressure sees us through. Link to comment
SRT100 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 lol Top order capitulation at its finest. Overrated Indian Test team. Not surprising. I just knew this team would struggle outside India. I hope Pant bats well. Team management deserves a kick up its arse over his non selection. Link to comment

Useless, meaningless poor shot in the context of the game. All he had to do was bat till tea when the wicket would hopefully settle down. Indian batsmen making the same mistakes overseas. Bunch of morons. Link to comment

A score around 150-175 is on the cards here. nitinbwj 1 Link to comment

Yeah I said 300 will be a top effort, not that I expect them to. Idiotic shot selection after all the hard work. Link to comment
SK_IH Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Pujara was the key wicket I guess. Nothing was expected from the King Kohli anyways. Hard to follow these test match in NZ. I hope this turns to out to be a competitive match, no predictable plot. Link to comment
putrevus Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 The problem with this sort of batting is these guys are never in nor they are keeping the score board ticking.Mayank did all the hard work only to throw his wicket away. Aussies in 2000s never changed their tempo , they attacked from ball 1 and put the pressure back to bowlers.Our batsmen are not doing that also, they are simply prodding and going nowhere with this approach.

zen Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 1st day. Ind in. 100/5 kind of situation. Nothing new .... I thought Pujara was batting well but got a good ball. If he had played out the session, it would have been a different story. I won’t be surprised if gets a 100 in this series Now we will have to bowl well. Hope likes of Ishant are fit enough to bowl at full steam Link to comment
SK_IH Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Vihari always looks absolute class. Elegance of Andhra batsmen remains intact. Link to comment
