Big come back from NZ... very unexpected

[cleanbowled]

I kinda expected this after they failed to break the partnership yesterday. India have a habit of letting this sorta thing happen. Didn't think it would go this far though.

Being an Indian fan is one of the most frustrating things in the world! How we have managed to throw 4 tests in a row is quite remarkable.

I think the issue for India is that they have forgot how to win abroad. They was in a very good position, and I bet talk of a victory came out, not just on the field/in the dressing room, but pressure then built. And they've thrown this away.




Tomorrow will be interesting, people will say tis against cricket blah blah, but if I were mcullum I'd bat tomorrow and get 300 for myself. And them continue batting and aim for Lara's 400.
Draw means a series win.

They do not wanna declare overnight. India have the batsmen to make 325 in a day easy to win. Plus the pitch looks very batsmen friendly, and I don't think nz will bowl India out on it, which means a draw or a loss anyway.

So you might aswell let mcullum attempt the record. And have some huge celebrations regarding.

If he gets 400 I'll open a bottle Marlborough Sav Blanc, who am I kidding I'll do it if he gets 300........ Ok I'm going to do it regardless!

Wouldn't mind seeing Dhoni bowl again!

I think for comedy purposes, dhoni should start referring to himself as the "5th" bowler when he's questioned on his sides selection in press conferences.

Same for Warner, Clarke should always say "we've gone for this side as Warner being 5th choice  bowler adds balance to the set up"

[13th Man]

Hmmm but the Aussies are winning!

I did watch that 1 over then he went back to keeping.

McCullum breaking Lara's 400 or Crowe's 299 is a joke in itself.

A fairly average player, averaging 35/36 prior this series, it's laughable that he's got two scores over 200 in the space of 7-9 days.

What a hater! How is it laughable that a person has scored two 200's in 7 days? He's in the form of his life. Please don't be jealous because your team is getting owned. Let us Kiwis finally bask in some sort of glory, its been a very long time.

Hater? What are you 10 years old...

McCullum in the form of his life? You sound as deluded as Iain Smith. He's been dropped 3/4 times.

South Africa could lose 0-3 to Australia, will I burst into tears? No chance.

Why is it laughable that he has scored 2 double tons in one test series against the 2nd best team in the world? 1 would be impressive, 2 suggests he is a very, very good player in very good form. I find that worthy of respect not amusement.

India aren't the real number 2 ranked side.

I'm not sure how the rankings work, but aside that hasn't won a Test away from home in nearly 3 years shouldn't be ranked 2.

Very, very good player? Don't be silly. Average player, flogging a terrible team around.

Unless you missed it, just 4 weeks ago, this same attack nearly conceded the world record chase to South Africa.

[smilley792]

Some people just can't come to praise someone for achievements.


Me, well I'd give my left bollock to be in a position to score a double ton against India, never mind actually doing it twice.

Anyone good enough to do it should be applauded, to belittle it is pathetic.

Did you have chips for tea Gerry?? There seems to be one on your shoulder...

I would have been prepared to have had a nice conversation on this subject had you not called me silly and not referred to India as a terrible team. Neither are a accurate so I'm not going to waste my time. Have a good day.
