I hope Vihari scores some runs here. He is a good player to back in long run, 50+ average batsman in Asian conditions. Just need a good innings to stay in the XI.

Feisty player. But not technically sound against short ball, rising balls.

Indian team overseas becomes like chelsea football club... clueless

Gill should replace rahane in future

[Scar]

It's saying something about defensiveness of Pujara that it feels like he is playing attacking cricket today.

 

Rahane is such a big let down that this should be his last test for a long time.

 

Kohli is not even mentally present in the match. How can you miss straight ball ffs

Kohli doesn’t even care anymore. It shows on his face. Bewda gives him pep talks in the dressing room while drinking rum from a coke bottle.

If India can get to around 300 by close of play. Its got to be considered a win by them for the day.

 

Problem with India, once one falls, the all come tumbling down like an avalanche.

 

India can easily go from 4/150 to all out for 200 in a blink of an eye.

Replace Iyer with KL. And switch KL to #4 and Gill to #5. You need a stroke maker at #4.

Without spinner NZ's over rate is gonna be low. Kane might get banned for match but series will be over so won't matter much to us?

NZ has picked up its intensity .... trying to make something happen .... crafty customer, the kiwi

Pulled powerfully? (these Kiwi commies must be smoking some serious stuff)

 Captain Pujara took Ind past 50, 100, and now 150

Vihari not looking  very comfortable  but hanging in there.. Puraja seems to have settled  after the initial nerves.. 

 

INDIA 150/4 looking way better than first test where we were 165 all out ... plus at toss the green pitch gave the impression  that India will  fold under  150.

 

 

This 150/4 can quickly become 200 AO ,not much difference than the previous two outings especially when nzl are keeping on the Continuous pressure with their 4 main Pacers and conceding an inch .

This batting pair followed by the rest will have to grind out the kiwi bowlers and fight out hard ti reach even a total like 300 ,that is how limited our batting has become
