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

[maniac]

I have a feeling we are going to have a looooong day 2 and 3

[SrinjayDutta]

How can a team's tailenders bat so pathetically? In this day and age. Every teams lower order have batsmen who can add 10 odd runs each.

[Sandeep99]

Jamieson came in and destroyed India every single match he played. What a find. Wrecked bratass into retirement thoughts 

[Stan AF]

Kiwis are returning the 5-0 favor in kind to us spread out over ODIs & Tests.

Giving me vibes of Trent Bridge 2018, boys have showed gumption but man Vihari, WTF was that after batting so well?

 

Somehow get to 300-320 and I see us having real winning chances provided weather doesn't play spoilsport. I say this with complete confidence (being rational, not 'Bharat Sipahi' mode) despite the nature of NZ pitches in recent past, we will bat once again when it is at its finest and day 5 is tough for any batting unit irrespective of pitch cos mental battle and all that. Law of averages too have to catch up at some point of time, Bumrah-Shami will breathe 

Bhai tu rehne diya kar

 

This is more like TB 2011

this team deserves no support after the way they have performed like headless chicken this tour 

[zen]

In ODIs/T20s some of these guys don’t show much intent and in tests, they encourage others to play like this

On the other hand, terrific effort by Kiwis .... 5-er for Jamieson 

Not terrific honestly. 6 7 wickets were gifted.

[jf1gp_1]

Just sad to see beside Virat and Rahane everyone else has thrown away their wicket. 22 runs and 6 wickets. 

[Stan AF]

All of these fellows are already in IPL mode.

[SrinjayDutta]

Could have easily been 270 -4 today.

nd then contradict that by judging oh of india score some runs it has yo be batting track hehe.. Look at the footwork and see where the runs are being made where is the bat meeting the ball. See whats going on there. 

I'm not seeing any exaggerated movement, or odd bounce.  I'm not saying its a flat track, and definitely India had the worse of the conditions thanks to the toss.  But the conditions weren't insurmountable.  

 

Anyway, now you and others claiming 300 would be an excellent outcome don't have anything left to argue about.  Tent folded.  Opportunity handed over to the kiwis on a platter. Again.

Should have been.  Incompetence.

[vvvslaxman]

THis is such an amature batting approach by India. No mixture of caution and aggression. Just blind slogging.  Worst i have seen in years

[maniac]

our tailenders are so brainless 

[Stan AF]

2011-2020 has been the single worst decade in terms of away test tours for us.

[nitinbwj]

BC when Vihari was on 47 off 66 and India approaching Tea, we should have shut stop. Pujara didn’t guide Vihari. Wagner was bowling lots of knuckle balls and short stuff. It was predictable. Utter brainless cricket by Pujara and that crap after tea..
 

Pant is a glorified tail ender so that was expected .

this is a nothing track, bowlers will have to earn wicket. lets see if kiwis gift us a few wickets. 

[Norman]

I'm not watching the game. Are we still in there or we got bowled out?

[vvvslaxman]

I wonder who came up with this batting plan with no-common sense.  I bet that drunkard has some input to it.
