It won't be easy for us when we face nz i don't expect India to win any match 

Making the ball old is imperative. Scoring 40 over 300 runs won't help us.

India will win if we score 300 in fact on those snake mambas they will dish out.

We need a solid number three  Baba Indrajith or players like him are the better choice  Sai will just be a walking wicket

If we get 300 our bowlers will deliver

Usually on day 1 it behaves that way then it flattens out. We lost two tosses there last time. But last time we sucked in 2nd innings too. 

 

But in the previous tour when NZ batted first we shot them out for 192 and wemade 438 in reply.  In the 2nd innings NZ was 92/5.  

Key reason  at 78/3 this happened

Shami to McCullum, no run

dropped at silly mid-on! Kohli, that was a relatively easy one! It was fullish and McCullum went through with a drive even though he wasn't to the pitch of it. It went to the left of Kohli but he snatched at it with his left hand and doesn't hold on. Came a lot slower than he expected. How costly is that going to be?

 

Ideal scenario would be field first shoot them out for low scores, pile up runs and use spinners in the 2nd dig to create problems. Problem for us is we played a grand total of 2 tests in NZ during our test domination period

They are showing a segment on Nepal. It is pretty inspiring stuff. Hope INdia sends some team to Nepal and uplift them. Very passionate cricket team and fans

In 2020 they gave us snake pits all around in both Wellington and Hagley.  The ball never stopped moving around.  Add to that we lost both the tosses.  Same venues this time as well.

 

In 2014 we came close to winning both games on good tracks of Eden Park and Hamilton but they don't hosts tests in Eden anymore and don't schedule India tests in Hamilton.

India needs a bowler who can bowl the ball in and take it away to trouble NZ.

India tends to struggle against left handers that is our problem.  

Siraj doesn't moves the ball away from round the wicket.

Bumrah does but NZ is his bogey side.

Need someone else to do the heavy lifting

You need to practice with kookaburra turf ball before going there. India always does htis. If you look at Indian domestic, Duleep Trophy uses Kookaburra balls to give Indians a feel of the ball.Hope they practice enough to get their line and length right from first over of first test.
