India tour of New Zealand 2014

Nz batting collapse if nothing new....happened regularly in the past

[Switchblade]

Yeah the fellow cant see beyond limited overs cricket that's his problem to be frank - but I would def play him as a wk-bat.

He's stubborn and headstrong I feel that he wants to prove that the team he selects is better than what all of us think and just my feeling that he wants to prove us wrong

[vvvslaxman]

India's last 5 wickets are worth only 20 runs. So NZ is still in driver,s seat

[kaptaan]

If they don't get pujara out in the first hour of play tomorrow then they will panic :winky:

[Switchblade]

:haha: Yeah I would say you win dost but now get the hell out - but no seriously he is stubborn and not exactly 'good' stubborn yeah.

Its like in a game we pick someone who for us is the man to defeat our opponent but the opponent is one step ahead and keeps defeating us again and again but in our minds we become desperate to win with the same player just to satisfy ourselves and to prove that we can get it done.

[Yoda-esque]

No ,we will be 4-5 down by Lunch for 150

[saneindian]

Long way to go. NZ clearly have to have to a 95% chance of winning this. Just hope we do not collapse in a heap like in the 1st innings. No gifted wickets please

[I6MTW]

30 runs? This isn't T20 son.

30 runs not 0t.

and tics has become a full crack from being a half crack

[Sachinism]

Basically - Who will win?

[putrevus]

So let's get this straight...India bowled short for this pitch in the 1st innings and yet did not realize this for 500 runs until we saw NZ bowling us out cheaply. Even if the captain missed it' date=' our senior players ( Zaheer being the only senior player apart from Dhoni in the side), what were the coaches and support staff doing? NZ played 120 overs..so there was atleast 3 breaks for these people to have chimed in.[/quote'] their theory was right but execution was horrible. All the kiwis except Brendon are vulnerable to short pitch bowling , that short pitch bowling has to be on to their bodies and not half trackers or outside the leg stump which is what all of them delivered in first innings. this is where coach staff and captain needs to come in and say guys you three are not able to execute the plans stick to your strengths and mix in odd bouncer.

[velu]

abort.

[adi B]

but zaheer is sh1t,needs to be dropped ASAP

[putrevus]

zaheer needs to be dropped asap he has become too much of liability.

[zep1706]

One of these days Zaheer will break down midway through a match leaving India with only 2 bowlers.

[fineleg]

India's actual current score: 120-6 (not 87-1) Tail and few walkng bats (incl msd) togethrr can score 20? 25? 30? Runs? Tail scores 3, 0, 3, 2 anyway So around 120-6 and hope remaining ones can show a fight

[putrevus]

One of these days Zaheer will break down midway through a match leaving India with only 2 bowlers.

did we not see that happen already on more than one occasion.

[ThePhenomenal1]

zak ought to be included in the POOL of bowlers, where we rotate. dont play him every match he isn't fast enough.

[Debutant]

You guys should charge money for your crystal balls

[BlueBee]

WTF. Then where will Pujara and kohli go? Won't they score anything
