NZ have probably got their two best batsmen in, other than Vettori so If these two can't take them to 3 figures on this pitch they can count themselves as royally f*cked

by HH_pink Wed 25 Mar 2009, 23:13

Both Zak and Munaf bleeding runs now.

by philcric Wed 25 Mar 2009, 23:32

Tailor and Rider batting well now.

India needs another wkt to own this session.

by DJ_Smerk Thu 26 Mar 2009, 01:06

Ross and Ryder are class.

Guptill needs to up his game because NZ need a decent start to matches.

by JKLever Thu 26 Mar 2009, 01:11

Ryder definitely has talent. For a fattie.

Taylor is always going to have spells where he can't buy a run - it's the way he plays. I don't think i've ever seen him have a chanceless innings over 50

by Basil Thu 26 Mar 2009, 01:15

Ryder's good. Just don't think the lift goes to the top floor on a regular basis though.

by furriner Thu 26 Mar 2009, 02:32

F*ck me if it ain't 215/3.

by Henry Thu 26 Mar 2009, 02:48

Taylor and Ryder both have a lot of talent. New Zealand could have 2 batsmen averaging mid 40's in their middle order i these 2 fulfil their potential.

by furriner Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:07

Well done Taylor.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:23

Great counterattack from Ryder and Taylor.

Ryder simply has a wood over us like so many other left handers.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:23

NZ run rate is excellent.

by The One Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:28

what just happened? no dhoni, nz 28-3 to 250-3 and going at over 4 an over. poor bowling, great batting or poor captaincy?

all of the above?

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:32

Probably all of the above.

But isn't this so predictable about successive Indian teams?

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:36

Partnership is now worth 237.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:37

Bhajji clearly showing why he is sh!t away from home, that fluke perfomance in last test notwithstanding.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:42

Ryder completes 2nd ton in successive tests.

by Bradman Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:53

That pitch is a farking road. How did they get three wickets?

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:58

NZ is playing 2 spinners so it may turn later.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 03:59

Munaf is fully exhibiting his crapness stakes so probably that performance in the 1st test was one off.

by Bradman Thu 26 Mar 2009, 04:03

Farking Harby.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 04:04

Bhajji gets Taylor for 151.

Super innings.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 04:05

Apparently Yuvraj was the fielder who dropped Taylor in slips when he was in single figures.

So about 140 runs too late.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 04:06

Karthik too dropped Ryder early on in his innings.

by HH_pink Thu 26 Mar 2009, 04:15

If India wanted to play on bl00dy roads they would've visited Pak, SL, Aus, or WI, or played in the comforts of home, instead of going all the way to Snooooozeland.

by Bradman Thu 26 Mar 2009, 04:19

Well they even take a risk at home nowadays. Neutral umpires and all.
