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

[Adamant]

Looks like indian fans have already given up.Man up dude

We are surely in with a good chance just need to hop to 150,150+ is definitely a good score.

People here really do not realise how difficult batting in 4th innings can be.

160+ and they will fold .

The reality is far different. Indian tail is notorious for folding like a pack of cards in foreign conditions. Especially given Kiwis are giving Indian batsmen chin music, they will play a few shots and will get bowled out before scoring 20 runs. Kiwis will win with 8 wickets in hand.

It's case with all teams. Tailenders score in home conditions.

If india scores 200..we will win.

Even 190...v have a chance to win.

Between 160 to 190..its even Steven's.. there will be tough fight and anyone can win with small margin.

Less than 160..v vill loose.

If v loose..some batsmen need to be blamed.

Shammi bumrah will fight.

If umesh trundles he should be thrown out.

We will fight n loose a close battle or we will win.

 

See the game ...maan.

NZ curators have done their country proud, ofc if Indian curators roll out pitches where result is decided in 3 days we know what ICC will do, don't we?

our players can't play spin properly  so it might backfire

This is what pisses me off the most about world cricket.

 

They complain about India's low dusty pitches, yet celebrate and rejoice on tracks that are full of bounce, swing and seam.

 

I hope Indian curators prepare slow low turners from ball 1 of the 1st test. I also hope India field 4 spin bowlers. I swear I remember one series Ganguly as captain was calling the shots on the pitch and the curator helped him out. India fielded 4 spin bowlers and Ganguly with his slow medium pacers opened the bowling and took 2 wickets? Am I making this crap up or did it not happen???? v Australia??? Year ago???

We dont want a spinning wicket lol. We want a slow low slightly turning pitch for Jadeja and Ash to take 10 wickets.

[SRT100]

I wonder if this game will be over before the end of Day 3???

 

I cant see India surviving till lunch.  Its too much for our batsmen to face 130kmhr bowlers in SENA.

 

I would give anything to see Pant couterattack and score a fast match winning 100. It would be legendary. While it may save Kohli's arse, it will also question his non selection throughout the NZ tour making Kohli look foolish.

If pant scores a hundred, they will just take credit for picking him over Saha .

Unless our bowlers tear NZ a new one in the second go, this game is done as far as our batting is concerned.  I hope I'm dead wrong, but don't expect a Pant 20, far less a 100.   I expect us to fold at around 130-140.  Then it's on the bowling.

Game on for NZ to bowl India out for less than 100.

It will about around 125 I think. NZ will make it with no more than loss of 3-4 wickets.

 

phuck Bewda, Choke on Kulli

Washing my eyes after seeing the present team batting in NZ tests. That straight drive off Chris Cairns.

 

[Kothili]

Both Chepu and Rahane need to be dropped along with Psycho. His onfield antics would put street urchins to shame. Worst moment was his reaction to Kane Williamson's dismissal. What an ugly mofo he is!

We can rant all we want. But both these Aholes are grinding Indian Test cricket to the ground. Will Dada have the balls to do them is the $Million dollar question.

yet a few dumb asses had the audacity to place Kohli above this legendary batsman . In a phase he scored 13607 runs(still larger than the 2nd best)  &  averaged 59.41( home 57.33  & abroad 61.48)  with  more runs abroad (7071)  & with the lowest average  44.66 in Pakistan.He did all these amid intense pressure of expectations and facing far better set of  quality bowlers  Add to that his equally brilliant ODI record !!!!!!!... Let alone Kohli, no current  batsman can come any where  close to him .

A Neil Wagner could reduce Smith to  half the batsman he has been, imagine him against ATGs of the 90s.  .

Sachin was on a different level altogether. Grateful for the memories!

As for today: I hope the players come in with the same sort of the drive the bowlers walked in at the start of yesterday's proceedings.

Vihari needs to take inspiration from his first innings efforts and look back at what grit/determination did back by Gambhir during Napier 2009!

As for Pant & Jaddu, they have to score the boundaries and open up the field. Getting NZ to put fielders on the boundary will be the best way to prolong the test match and increase the lead.

They certainly have the potential to add another 100+ runs. But that potential/fight hasn't been on show thus far except by the bowlers earlier today.

I just hope it is not a surrender like last Monday!
