NZ probably missed a trick by not sending McCullum after Taylor's dismissal.

NZ treating the ordinairy Indian attack with contempt...despite the pitch being a 'greentop'

How do you figure that? It's much better for him to go out fresh in the morning with the pitch better for batting and all day to get himself in . . .

Early morning pitch conditions might gobble up a few like it did today.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 04:50

New ball taken.

Thats probably the only chance for us to dismiss them under 500.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 05:04

Franklin saved by Doctrove probably to even the scores for him as he was given out wrongly in the 1st test.

Yuvraj drops another one in slips.

by The One Thu 26 Mar 2009, 05:09

wtf is yuraj at 3rd slip? already cost us 150 and drops another easy one. where are dravid, laxman and sehwag? yuvraj's worth as a test player is seriously under question

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 05:09

Franklin very streaky.

Blame Eng for that.

If not for that Chennai knock he might be nowhere near Indian test team.

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 05:12

Got to say Sehwag has led the team like a bull. Like the way he used to bat.

**YUVI in katich imitation shocker**

Atleast Katich can bat.

The guy hardly averages double figures . . . not liley to be real flash, is he?

by SG Thu 26 Mar 2009, 05:15

Franklin's average in test cricket is 19.96.

Thats pretty respectable for a cricketer whose primary trade is still his bowling.

by horace Thu 26 Mar 2009, 05:18

very slow over rate...banindians to be fined...'spose the difficulty was harby was too expensive to bowl more overs

Munaf serving tasty pies.

350 up.

Gawd. Unless India collapse withing 300 runs this has got a draw written all over it..... Sleep

by taipan Thu 26 Mar 2009, 06:26

I can't believe this score.

Is Bucknor umpiring?

by horace Thu 26 Mar 2009, 06:36

no but YUVI has bowled and dropped two catches

by DJ_Smerk Thu 26 Mar 2009, 10:11

Well done New Zealand, totally out shone the Indians today.

by DJ_Smerk Thu 26 Mar 2009, 10:28

I wonder if Mishra's omission was an error by the Indian Selectors?

by JKLever Thu 26 Mar 2009, 10:57

Looked a flaaaaat pitch after the first hour.

With this being a small ground from side to side, unless the snoozers get Sehwag early there could be utter carnage later on in the game.
