Hope Im wrong but my fellow Indian brothers in India will be awake in a few hours to a living nightmare.

 

NZ should get 3-4 wickets before lunch.

 

Overcast day with drizzle and wind blowing across the pitch lol. Welcome to NZ conditions.

 

The next time NZ come to India, I want my Indian brothers to blow up the pitch so that even a player like Vihari will turn it sideways lol.

On this pitch it is expected to have top order collapse. Kohli will be key between 150 and 250 imo.

Pujara is the bigger key, he is the entire key.

 

If he can block one end, it could make the difference between winning and losing the series in the 1st session.

Indian line up is pretty good. Only toss up is between Ash and Jaddu. Given that how Jaddu is increasingly darting Ashwin was probably preferred. Apart from fielding they are more or less equal overall.

When it swings and seams, kohli is better player by miles.

We can defeat them in India in pretty flat conditions too.. no need to strain ourselves on the pitch lol

This is where ugly survivors are needed.  Who can do that?  Low backlift, loose grip, play late.

Hmm wonder who that is... chepurahavihu

surely more balls than tons hit by thala overseas.

Your midget doesn't even have a single 250 in his whole career :phehe:

Good team fielded.. Not all of us can be satisfied  all the time .. but this is nice.. Ash and Vihari are spin options and both have test hundreds.. Pant playing... Shaw playing.. wish Gill could somehow get in.. but probably  will get a shot if one of the openers fail in both innings 

I predict a straight swap for Mayank in the next match
