afan Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 The template will take some time to set, we have to ensure that the likes of Shaw, Mayank, Shubhman earn their stripes..I do agree that this is an investment for the future, considering the fact that not too many Indian openers have the set the grounds on fire in SENA countries barring a Sehwag and few others here n there. What is worrying is that the runs are not coming from the likes of Pujara, Kohli and Rahanes and couple that with the form of Bumrah and Shami we know exactly why India is where they are at the moment in this Test. Nothing significant is going to change for the second one as well, as we dont know where the runs are going to come from? (India might stretch them a lil if they bat first though.) Lets hope that the take back from the series is not lost..Shaw is playing and i hope Shubhman gets a look-in as well. Saini needs to get a game, i hope he does along with Jadeja in the second one.

We need to learn from the green bros a bit on how to chest thump and get behind the team. If we don't pressurize we'll end up giving company to green bros at #7 in the rankings. Norman 1
Deleted_User_1 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 All that we can hope for is how much NZ will have to score to win the game. Or will they? There are still 39 runs to score. India can still lose 6 wickets in less than that.

ICF has some fans who will whine and complain during the game for any reverses, they will swiftly jump into bandwagon and celebrate if there is a win as well. Typical Indian fans i guess, often do not have patience to see a proper test game so it is the norm, more suitable for T20 and ODI match viewership.
Sandeep99 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Will try to wake up at 3am (middle of second session) to check the score if the match is over (ideally I expect us to fold by lunch). Hoping for a miracle.
rageaddict Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Would be surprised if this isnt the last day of this Test.
Stutter Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Nice analysis of Pujara's negative batting mindset just now in pre-match. Hope someone shows this our players.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 148 runs in 66 overs, after 14 overs new ball will be taken. We shudnt even play this slow that by the time new ball comes there isnt even much of score on board
Kothili Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Tuk tuking will not save your ass. Stupid tactics.

The reluctance of Pujara to score and his lack of intent resulted in patting down even half volleys (the pitch map correlation was impressive). That lack of intent kept his weight backwards and made him try to leave the ball more than try to put it away, eventually resulting in his dismissal via poor leave.

Kothili Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Get these d!ckfaces out of here. Chepu, Rahane. Get them out soon.

Was checking the pace at which dravid use to bat in nz his s/r was around 43 and pujara is around 23 Cricwala 1
Prabhdeep Singh Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Pujara, Vihari and Rahane have batted like glorified night Watchmen. You can have max 1 batsmen like this in a batting line up. Vickydev and Vilander 2
