How much lead do we need?

[Ranjha]

I think 400 (score 593) lead by lunch day 4 and then declared (Assuming we wont be bowled out)

[asterix]

The two maharathis who are batting now will waste lots of time to get proper individuals scores and then we might see a batting collapse with Bhajan and Santh batting in the end to win the match for India..

[Ranjha]

Tendulkar needs to pick up scoring now...low 30s sr right now.

[hari504504]

we'll get to a lead of 400 by early Day 4.. we should give ourselves atleast 2 days to bowl em out... with our bowling you never know..champions one day..minnow the next..

[Ranjha]

Ideally we shoulddeclare end of day 3 tomm with 400 lead but by end of tomm we will be 325-350 ahead the way we batting.

400-500? lol the kiwis are not going to give it to us on the platter. This is a very slow wicket and playing shots here is tough unless you are Sehwag. So dont think its going to be that big a lead here. Any lead of around 200-225 should be fine.

Lol at 200-225...r3ally? We had 125ish lead last time...what happened? Lolll need min 300-350...ideally 400 and that too in a quick time... Nothing wrong with pitch..watch when vvs comes.

2 big individual scores are exactly what team needs. Go back to 20/20 watching. Clueless.

[ZodiaC]

300+ minimum.. Innings defeat FTW

[King Tendulkar]

Bat all od day 3 and see were we end up. It will be massive score, near to 600

[diegovegaz]

yes, get a lead of 400, and look to bowl them out, to lift the series

[EnterTheVoid]

300 run lead and I predict an innings win.

[urbestfriend]

Hopefully by EOD tomorrow we'll have a lead of nearly 400. We'll have 5 sessions to wind up Kiwis.

Are people takin the piss? even 'with the maharathis batting slowly for individual scores' as some put it we will add another 300-350 on the third day. That is a 400-450 lead. whare people complainin about?? :dontknow:

[Sir john]

i guess tomorrow we will score around 250-300 in whole day. :bubblegum:

if SRT and RD bat for 50 over more tommarow than we can not going to score 300 in day.

[Hindustani]

even a lead of 300 would be fine...just hoping for a result here..I mean Indian victory :winky:

lead of 350 is enough, India should also consider possibility of rain and should make kiwis bat 15-20 overs tomorrow at least

[Ranjha]

I think 400 lead will be perfect...nz are not gonna crumble again..we need runs on the board to put pressure on them.. Dravid needs to pick up his scoring rate first thing in the morning.

dude!!

[VRV Singh]

We are in an ideal position, therefore I dont think we should set targets, we just need to take tomorrow as it comes. Raina and Dhoni are pretty much the ideal batsmen to hammer home an advantage so whatever lead we have by end of day tomorrow will inevitably be substantial.
