Lord Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 This will be a superb test for our batsmen providing they yield up seaming greentops to play on. I hope Sehwag scores big and puts this endless blather about his lack of footwork to rest....for him, hand-eye coordination and batspeed is his technique and he will bring it to bear in seaming consitions as well. Likewise, I want to watch the rest of the batting pass the test with flying colours, as I well know them to be capable. The bowling will have a field day...Ishant and Sreesanth should get a bagful of wickets. Sree?i dont think he will even go to NZ. RP singh should be first choice for 3rd seamer,followed by pathan n patel
satishg Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 one reason why we will win the series..OUR PACE ATTACK
fineleg Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 RD ?? This is a joke' date=' right ?[/quote'] its not a joke. both SRT and RD need to be in good form for india to post respectable totals on greentops. They are the ones with technique to handle the types of pitches. if either one of them are not in form, then batting will be a big challenge. Remember, GG and Yuvi and MSD yet to prove in these conditions, Laxman hopefully will do alright, and Sehwag - well he'll play his own way which has risk. Batting also important, not just our bowlers.

Shane Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 i think thier test team will be much stronger,u have missed Oram n martin there.but still we should win my 4 reasons: 1.SRT. 2.zak,ishant,RP/IRFAN 3.mishra if he plays. 4.sehwag Dhoni will captain em !!!
Lord Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Dhoni will captain em !!! yup, he will but i dont expect a great series from him.he has always struggled in these conditions.
Shane Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 ^^ Unlikely option ... only if Bhaj gets injured !!!
Shane Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 yup' date=' he will but i dont expect a great series from him.he has always struggled in these conditions.[/quote'] First Series in NZ
Lord Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 First Series in NZ yes,but he has struggled in aus, SA, n NZ will be similar
Shane Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 yes' date='but he has struggled in aus, SA, n NZ will be similar[/quote'] His record as captain is better ... so expect more !!!
Lord Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 His record as captain is better ... so expect more !!! hope so!:two_thumbs_up: but i will be really surprised pleasantly if he does manage to win us a game with his bat
Rajan Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 V shud not underestimate NZ. They r a formidable team if Bond is allowed to play , if ICL & BCCI ome to an understanding as widely speculated, in time for the series. Flynn is a goo test match player. has been doing well in tests, even against australia and windies apart from BD. it is not Indian bowling Vs NZ Batting which would decide the series, Indian batting should overcome the NZ pitch conditions, swing,NZ bowling. that would be crucial. besides almost every test match in NZ gets invariably affected by rain. v shud consider the tests as 4 days matches.
SachDan Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 1. Better than ever bowling lineup to exploit overseas conditions 2. Experience of Sachin and Dravid 3. Good form of our opening pair- Gauti and Viru 4. Since matches are going to be held in late March,pitches may favor batsmen.
zubinpepsi Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 too many unknown names dont sound good for India.... we usualy fkup against them... and another biggy... RAHUL SHARAD DRAVID is gonna f'kup alll yo noobs faith in this series.... im gonna hafa nice popcorn time at the cost of india's misery.. :(
Kartikey Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 And I believe RS Dravid will play some match-winnign innings in this series, u wait and watch.
Dinx - the Jinx Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 And I believe RS Dravid will play some match-winnign innings in this series' date=' u wait and watch.[/quote'] :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
Sachinism Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 We have to take P Kumar to NZ, he'll exploit the pitches and conditions
