If you are adventurous and the odds are attractive, take a chance on Ind too.

I’m more into hedging. Looks like you’re gonna go big or go home

 you could look at any such trend, it’s like reading tea leaves. Statistically on this ground and on current form, NZ are setup for a huge victory.

 

Sri lanka won toss and bowled first last time, still got mauled. Our bowlers are not in good form and I don’t expect them to magically deliver after a 5 day break.

can't argue with that reasoning .... as Ind is the underdog .... I like to see the underdogs do well so look for things that can provide hope!

No bets .... I tried betting online - It was that game where Pak was doing well in Aus. I wanted to bet against Pak (odds were attractive too for Aus) but the Canadian credit card was not accepted for gambling/betting .... Could have made some good $$$ that day .... didn't bother with it after that :lol:

exactly..india has a chance to win if we win the TOSS and let new zealand bat first on a fresh pitch.

 

though i expect our pacers and batsman to do a better job.

Considering Virat's luck with tosses, we are losing the toss and match big time

Ishant out, Umesh in

Ashwin likely to be out, Jadeja in - thats the level of faith they have in their 'premier' spinner Ashwin. One test and out! Could so easily have used the home season to groom Kuldeep, but then short term gains are all that these jokers Kohli-Shastri care about

 

Not sure what other changes Captain Cuckoo has on his mind.

Sorry I dont follow the toss, can you tell me or anyone else, does Kohli always call heads or tails or does he swap?

 

I know its a random event the coin toss, Im just curious if he only calls heads/tails.

I dont know what he calls, but he calls it wrong all the time.

Any news about Gill getting a chance?

Not going to wake up at 4 in the morning this time. My entire last weekend was ruined for not having enough sleep, in return got to see some filthy play.

 

And people rooting for Ashwin must know that he by no means is a premier spinner in foreign land. Jadeja is even lesser than Ashwin but here is the thing - If Pant plays over Saha because he is a much better batsman with difference in the keeping standards between the two minimized in SENA, then going by that logic Jadeja should play over Ashwin as both are not going to trouble the batsman much but Jadeja will definitely bat much better and field miles better than Ashwin.

Shastri didn’t mention him at all in the pre match PC. There was news of Shaw hurting his foot in practice, no updates post that.

Same here. Whole week's body cycle gets interrupted, I was foolish enough to wake on 4th as well.

Shaw recovered according to cricinfo. No change in top 7.

IF Saha and Ashwin are not picked tomorrow, Captain Cuckoo should be asked tough questions about picking them for home series vs weak opposition when Pant and Kuldeep could so easily have been given an opportunity to play more and prepare better for these tougher challenges.

Will wake up at 3 30 to see the toss. If we lose I will sleep.
