Our 4th innings is Pant or nothing. If Pant scores we get close else we're done.

Under Gambhir, they muddle up his game as well by slotting a keeper into a top order batting slot where he is singled out as "match ka mujrim" if his approach costs a wicket even while all the "proper" batsmen slink away

lol, he did survive two of them.

Wish we had a wicket taker in Henry and extremely annoying and difficult bowler to get away in Jamieson.Henry has blown away Eng. On Good pitches ,NZ has the batting and the bowling to defeat Eng all the time. Eng are struggling with newcomers

Kiwis ko sorry bol, prevented his 100.

 

Root has plundered India the most, distant second will be Pakistan. 

[The Realist]

McCullum is going to leave England cricket in the gutter.

 

Appropriate as that's where Stokes ends up after his drinking/nights out.

[Gollum]

Crushing win, well done Kiwis. Series beautifully poised. Best thing is most Indian fans will enjoy no matter who loses.

Bhai cannot support Kiwis.. Hopefully England wins and their big guns return.  Stokes Smith Atkinson Robinson 

 

This a smug bunch of Kiwi players as well.

[putrevus]

Root has abused Indian bowlers like anything.Nearly 3500 runs and 13 100s.Sachin should be blaming Indian bowlers the most if he ever crosses him.

[vvvslaxman]

Matt henry abused England. A bowler like his gold.

[Nikhil_cric]

The bowlers who have really punished NZ in the last 4 years have been Robinson, Carse and Atkinson.

 

They were all out of this Test match. 

 

Atkinson and Robinson are likely to come back next match .

 

If England can play Archer, Atkinson, Robinson and Tongue/Fisher, that will really test the Kiwis once more

What exactly banning Stokes for one test achieve.It was just done to appease public.They were out after winning the test, why was there any need to have curfew in first place.

 

They lost Ashes as they were not good enough not because they went to Noosa  after losing first two tests as moronic Botham put it.

Team curfew makes sense on game days but Stokes went when there was no game right? What's point of curfew on such days? 

[Sgattick10]

Root is a terrible captain and an unlucky one, should have given it to someone else

Whatever information I got was they went out after they had won the test.

Stokes doesn't deserve a place in their first XI. Specialist captains make no sense unless you are a minnow.

Atkinson and Stokes are back as BaZ said.

Robinson is unclear probably won't make it.

What happened to Carse??

No idea.  Think he was carrying a couple of niggles during the Ashes

If he bowls I don’t think he is bad, he was the best bowler who kept leash on run rate last year against India.
