I like Jesse not sure he's at test level again yet.



India all out, and not enforcing follow on,

If I was nz I'd open with Anderson or mcullum and be a little attacking, just kill as much of the Indians spirit(if they have any left) as you can.

I would let India graze in the field for as long as possible.

You can do that after a 20ball hundred.

Rather incredible that India batted pretty well in South Africa, and blunted Steyn and Philander for much of that series. Only in the second Test Steyn went through them.

Yet here in New Zealand, against a workman like attack, they've thrown in the towel.

I'm feel for their fans, paying loads of cash to see such a meek batting effort 

India hasn't won a Test outside India since Sabina Park in 2011. Since then they are 0-2-9 and on the way to a 10th defeat.

It's ok, they will win in England this summer and then play a million matches at home to restore batting avgs

As most probably know on here, I love a good stat.

So here goes:

In their 60 odd year history of playing Test cricket, India's won two series in England 

Unless they suddenly unearth a couple of high class bowler to partner Shami Mohammad, there's more chance Tim Hennan will come out of retirement and win Wimbledon!

Absolute carnage in the Kiwis second dig.

15-4. Shami bowling nicely. He seems to be the only Indian fast bowler able to learn on his feet. Jadeja is some fielder. India needs to ditch Khan and select the pacey Yadav in the future.

Still can't figure out why McCullum decided to bat on...

India could still make something of this, if they bowled NZ for a 100 odd.

On a side note, I think one of the reasons questions are not raised over India's generally woeful performances overseas is that people don't expect much - if they win its a bonus. As long as they remain champs at home.

I do think its a crap way to go about things though, if you really aim to be a proper number one, you have to win everywhere. India don't really have an excuse either, 1.2 billion people, where cricket is by far the most popular sport (for example in other countries cricket has to compete for talent with plenty of other sports eg football/soccer in England), and still can't create a world beating team despite all of those demographics being so much in favour and all the money involved. I could go on and on about this topic, so I'll leave it at that.

NZ are looking very good, the best I have seen in a long time. Could do very well in the upcoming T-20 world cup.

Good fight back from India, but too little too late?

Managed to get Ross Taylor out, so there is some hope if they can wrap it up quickly - which is not something they have done too well in the past. Hopefully they manage it this time, will set up this match beautifully if India have to chase 400 odd with 2 days to go - both teams then have a good chance at winning the match.

Oh dear the days of old are coming back to haunt me…

Lucky for the 500 in the first innings. Should still win.

I don't know... one thing Indian batsmen can do is bat on a low, turning track... 407 could be done

India could do it, although according to the commentators only been done 4 times in 2,000 odd tests - I'll back go do it!
