India - New Zealand Upcoming Series.

[itsmemad]

Dhoni won the toss and elected to field first... Vettori said he would have batted first had he won the toss, as the pitch looks good to bat on...

After that what happened on the pitch was mayhem... Lethal bowling display by Indian fast bowlers... Black caps are tottering on 61 for 6 wickets at lunch... :clap:

Ryder is on 18 and Vettori is yet to score his first run of the series...

Your prediction has come true so far dhaneshv...

P.S. - Bhajji hasn't bowled a single over so far(25 overs)...

[Rameshjeee]

NZ 170/6 ; Vettori* 69(103), Ryder 53(105)
Partnership: 108 run...A very good comeback by the NZLanders....If they both could bat till the EOD, then they (NZL) would be pretty much happy with the first day's play.


NZ 213/6
Ryder* 63(123), Vettori 100(139)

What a knock by Vettori... :clap: :clap:
Poor Men in Blue...... They dunno what to do.....

[gothic_coder]

All credit goes to vettori and ryder..Superb comeback.. Though they manage to score 279.. India on other hand replied strong by putting 29 on scoreboard in quick time

Hope we can take healthy lead tomorrow... Neverthless well played india..

[Rameshjeee]

EOD 1: NZL 279 all out. India: 29/0 ; India Still trail by 250...
Seeing this, We may say that India has gained the upper hand at the EOD 1.
But if we look at the day's play..I could have been better for the Indians...
Well Played Ryder & Vettori...

I almost forgot the match, The NZ scoreboard looks terrible but Ryder and Vettori spoiled the fun. But still its not a very big score, now its india's turn to bat well and give them a lead of atleast 300 runs. Sehwag is playing his natural game 22 on just 18 balls with 5 fours, great. Lets wait till tommorow and see India's reply.

Bottom Line: India did a great job.

[The One]

Great work by Indians!!! :thumbup1:

Thanks maddy for the comment!!!

There have not been big scores scored in NZL...Lead of 300 is to ahead to think of..Sehwag will hold the key tomorrow..

[gothic_coder]

India ended the day with steady progress.. Had sehwag not get run out, the scenario would be different...

Indian 278/4.. Sachin on 70.. Hoping to see another century from master...

[aashaka_gandhi]

whts de last score...?

[gothic_coder]

278/4.. Sachin on 70.. Yuvi on 7 or 8...

[Dragon]

hope master scores another ton

[Sid]

if india plays sensibly now then india can win the 1st test.....

[Dragon]

ofcourse, as i mentioned before a lead of 250-300 will do it right

[newprouser]

Altho we haven't lost wickets, our scoring rate is comparatively lower too.... but then again this being a test match, its to be expected.

I hope the kiwis are getting frustrated

[Dragon]

Exactly, but we still got some keyplayers with us, so if india play sensibly we can dig more pits for kiwis

[Rameshjeee]

hope master scores another ton

ofcourse, as i mentioned before a lead of 250-300 will do it right

You wish is granted..........

[gothic_coder]

Hmmm...So we saw another amazing, flawless, well paced century from master.. India got lead of 241 and till now india has upperhand after clinching 3 kiwis wicket...I really enjoyed last wicket...

I just hope they wrap up kiwi before i woke up tomorrow..Well done India..


P.S
Did sachin badly hurt??

[Dragon]

Wonderful inning by master - 160 Runs, truely amazing

Almost every one played well and contributed in the total.

One should not forget Zaheer's inning

Dhoni's and Laxman's strike rate disappointed me bit, but when its a test match so its fine.

By the end of days plays Kiwis lost their 3 wicket with 75 on board. Kudos to Indian bowlers

Regarding Tendulkar injury, i found this:

Those who are worrying about Sachin Tendulkar's injury, well then it is just a bruise and there is nothing serious. We can expect him to be back on the field tomorrow.

[Rameshjeee]

Men in Blue on track to win the first test. We can see the result tomorrow itself...Beating NZL within 4 day in NZL....will be gr8...

[gothic_coder]

Absolutely...The way indians are progressing, winning on fourth day is possible, I'm keeping my finger crossed...Way to go dhoni brigade...

[Sid]

hope to get Ryder early........he has been in good form in ODI as well as Tests........

[gothic_coder]

Vettori also

Wonderful inning by master - 160 Runs, truely amazing

Thank You! Thank You!

Don't worry guys!!!

I will probably be there on the field tomorrow.

[newprouser]

Thank You! Thank You!

Don't worry guys!!!

I will probably be there on the field tomorrow.

He was talking the one and only Sachin Tendulkar not "the one" and "sachin tendulkar"

Damn... our lead is over...

Brendon McCullum seeems to be only lone warrior for NZ now... I hope he ends our misery soon

[gothic_coder]

So finally india won after 33 years and that's absolute stunning win.. Had it been by innings, I would've been more happy... Neverthless man of the match sachin shows what he's capable of... Also bhajji bowled real good in second inning

WAY TO GO INDIA..WE WANT CLEAN SWEEP IN TESTS
