Rob' date=' how do you rate our latest impressive win at Centurion? To beat South Africa so convincingly at their fortress is nothing short of amazing in my opinion.[/quote'] Let us stick to this awesome topic? :((

This feels like Kolkata 2001, except the Indians being at the receiving end. If somehow NZ win tomorrow it will be hailed as one of the greatest tests ever.

From the Indians standpoint yes, but I was speaking from the Kiwi circles. They are BERY ecstatic right now.

India was down 0-1 in the 3 match series and were on the verge of losing the match and series. Worst NZ could go was a drawn series. 2. Aus team India faced had 2 ATGs in McGrath and Warne and even the other bowlers (Gillespie & Kasper IIRC) were pretty good. NZ faced Indian bowling who all together are not fit to lace McGrath's shoes. But yeah it will definitely be in the Top 3 comebacks of all times if NZ can somehow win the match.

It goes to show that finishing a side off is really underrated nowadays. I'm glad we didn't let that Amla/ de Villiers or de Villiers/Duminy partnerships to develop and beat South Africa ruthlessly.

It's the bane of Indian cricket throughout our history. In Tests we can't finish teams off and the main reason for that is lack of bowling firepower and wkt taking bowlers.

One thing I've learnt during the last 2 years is that Indian cricket suffers from a lack of integrity or accountability whatsoever. It's truly shocking to see that the players have no remorse for the thrashings. There is a lack of willingness from the players to man up to their mistakes. I think the whole structure is dysfunctional.

The rot starts at the top. When BCCI and selectors don't have any accountability and when son-in-law of BCCI's head, who runs Indian cricket and will run ICC, is caught match fixing with no repercussions, it's tough to blame the players.

The last 3 years.....Indian Test team have gone downhill at a fast rate...specially when playing away from home (at home also its not that better). IMO the Indian team and its management needs to be properly looked at....and changes needs to be made. This thought of continuality has damaged the team a great deal. Some people needs to be sent packing. Or...India needs to stop playing outside. Just play 6 months of IPL following by some home series. Its freaking depressing to see this team at such a great level of mediocrity yet the players and management walk around like nothing has happened & that somehow they will be there again & again to show off the same level or improve that mediocrity. Just hoping that NZ bowling cut through our freaking batting lineup to show that its not patta wicket that is hurting. BS Bedi once said that something like that the team should be droped into the Pacific Ocean. I think its time to do that.

Gavaskar was enjoyable in this series.Very good when separated from Shashtribot
Agree again...been watching the games...& Gavaskar has been very good on the mic...as a commentator is supposed to be....instead of blah blah blah that he do when he is commenting for BCCI production.
