This loss hurts

[mani sha]

Off all the series losses in have seen in last 20 years , this one hurts the most . 
 

Causes - 

 

clearly our batting . Rahul , kohli have been failing us time and again . Rohit is old now . 
 

y jaiswal bailed us against England with jurel and bit of khan . Kohli should have been dropped but nobody seems to say it out . 
 

Hope to see the last of kohli and rahul at least for Aussie . 
 

Bring in rinku , promote sundar , play Samson in tests . Our batting failed us . And yes , batting first in Bangalore will be the worst decision tactically India has ever made

[tweaker]

Sarfaraj and Akashdeep would be the scapegoats and Rahul and Siraj will be back. 

 

Rinse and repeat

[Number]

Happens Manisha ji.

 

[Lord]

Was bound to happen

 

This is worse then Eng 2012

[vvvslaxman]

We got outplayed thoroughly. We do run into a test like this from time to time. But the first test shouldn't have happened.

The most important thing is that Bumrah bowls stereotypically Indian since January 2020. 

 

Until August 2019, Bumrah bowled like he wasn't even Indian. He hit the deck and generated extra bounce.

Would've loved to see how 2019 Bumrah bowled in this Test.

We should get use to such losses

Yep and showed more fight atleast in the losses.

[cricspirit]

It does hurt.

 

We have no business getting bowled for 150 here. We should have taken 100 run lead at least.

 

Batters to blame for the series loss.

This is not one of those series where you can say "If we had done XXXX... we wouldn't have lost". There is no XXXX here. We were comprehensively thrashed. We were failing in many areas even when we were winning. We just chose not to address it. We thought we would somehow keep winning series after series.

The lower order of Ashwin/Jadeja/Axar have been saving us time and again. Now they failed we are completely exposed. Even today Jadeja and Sundar looked best batsmen among the ruins lol

Remember the match against Australia where Axar and Ashwin added 100 run partnership out ofnowhere. If Axar had not shown up in that series we would have lost a home series even back then.

If you get out for 46 and 156 in the first innings of a test match at home, your chances of winning are very slim. This test NZ scored 250 batting first and that is not a big score. Does not matter if Ash/Jaddu did not take wickets in this series. They have won India enough series at home. But please go ahead blame everyone else other than pampered superstar batters.

Definitely not bowlers fault. It is mostly batsmen. Ashwin/Jadeja are not some gully mohalla bowlers.  NZ players came with good plans for these pitches. Indians didn't use feet, didn't use depth of the crease, didn't use sweep. It was all hands or frontfoot plonking  most of the time. Distinctly poor batting technique.

This series shows that we can't do well in spinning conditions or seaming/swinging conditions. NZ outplayed us in both kind of wickets

Not just the technique which is exposed but the mental strength. No patience to play time, desire to fight it out or ability to build partnerships. This is not a T20 match that you throw away like nothing by slogging. Hit out of trouble does not work when opposition is prepared and have discipline.

I was expecting Sundar to bat much higher - maybe at 5 to keep the left right combination going.

Wonder why they batted him so low at 9, and he ran out of batting partners.
