BTW IMO in NZ its very hard to get a single win for INDIA
The boring part is it will be on Set Max.
I don't like watching cricket on set max/neo or DD sports
ya you are right i think they buy the rights only for broadcast the ads not the match.................The boring part is it will be on Set Max.

But India is a better looking side than NZ this time........i think we have not played in NZ before 40 yrs......

No, its on Set max for sure, don't know if this is coming on star as well.
I know that, but thought, i will be more easy to make him understand.
ok yaar i got the thing now dont start conversation on this..........it means 1st time selection on team
we have been making history recently ... its time to get the NZ job done ... but its really gonna be tough ... the conditions in NZ are tougher than england,sa and england ... i hope indian batting fires ... coz the bowling department looks quite strong now specially when they will be getting friendly bowling conditions ...
aap to born intelligent hoji
if india was able to compete well in aus last year then i think this series will be definitely in india's bag........
you can't actually predict anything about cricket, you never know when Zaheer will hit 4 sixes in an over
and also dont forget what Dougles marilier did with INDIA in Jodhpur....you can't actually predict anything about cricket, you never know when Zaheer will hit 4 sixes in an over
new zealand tour is supposed to be tougher than australia.
reasons:
1) india has not been to new zealand in the last 6 years. almost all the players are visiting NZ for the first time
2) india's performance in the last tour of NZ was pathetic
3) conditions there are very tough ... tougher than australia. you dont get batting pitches in NZ like in australia.
ya you are rite.........on all points.....
and in NZ all the time winds are blowing so from one end if bowler can bowl on 135Kmph than from other end he get 5-6Kmph extra because of that wind factor........i read that somewhere on news paper by a player.........

dunno abt the test team....but with dravid in....i ve my doubts for India to win....
but ODI & 20-20 looks like we r gonna beat em for sure....!!!! as such being an Indian i totally support the Indian Team.....!!!!!
well atleast setmax is better than neo for sure.........on neo sports i feel thy show the advertisements n if theres time thy ll show the match......
Dont count wat u lost, cherish wat u ve & plan wat to gain...coz past neva returns but future may return the lost! Think-Decide-Act!!!!
India can win because :
1 ) Since past 2 years India is playing a lot better on foreign tours ...
2) India managed to win the Perth test which is one of the most bouncy tracks......completely different to ehat we have in India
Thanks for the info Ramesh, I found the local NZ time so didn't paste it over here to avoid confusion. Thanks for you help mate
well ... i dont want to start a long discussion about dravid ... but he was one of the very few good performers from india on their last tour to NZ ..dunno abt the test team....but with dravid in....i ve my doubts for India to win....
but ODI & 20-20 looks like we r gonna beat em for sure....!!!! as such being an Indian i totally support the Indian Team.....!!!!!

New uniforms, strangely SAHARA is more easier to see, while INDIA is not that clear. Also too much orange.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
the color looks good ... nice change
but i like the old one colour.......which is ocean Blue....
the new jersey has many features:but i like the old one colour.......which is ocean Blue....
1) new color - looks cool to me ... better than the previous one, unique
2) the collar, numbers, text "India" - in orange color - good use of a true indian color - these things were previously in yellow
3) the jersey is lighter than before
4) more scientifically designed - will keep the bodies of players cool in humid conditions and vice-versa
and above all - A change was needed .. that color was being used for many many years ... all teams have changes their jersey colors to different shades at some point of time or other ...
I am really looking forward to this series..It will be a really good one. Indian team is in good form & the conditions in NZL won't be that easy. I always believed that its tough playing in NZL than playing in Australia & South Africa.
The grounds in NZL are small, so it will to the advantage to our hard hitting batsmen...

India is going to win this tournament big time, Indian team now under the coach Gary Kristen(used to be one of my fav players) is more balanced and confident. Players like rohit sharma,yosuf n irfan pathan, ishant sharma, dinesh kartik dhoni,sehwag provide a dynamic and strong look to indian team. I also wish Sanchin Tendulkar n dravid open up and do what the team needs them to do, i doubt it if tendulkar has anymore cricket spirit left in him moreover he doesnt fit well in the team now(saying all this about sachin with all due respect).
Which witch wished which wicked wish? :tt2:
T20 matches will be starting at 11:30am, atleast this time, I will be able to see the matches, before my office
too early to predict buddy ... lets see what happens ... take my word ... some matches will be really exciting ... very close matches are on cards ..
i missed "i think"..
Which witch wished which wicked wish? :tt2:
i also think so dear.........
well yes i m looking fwd to this series as well.....shud b gr8 fun watching it.....since our boys r doing extremely good!!!!
i dunno sumhow preffered the earlier ocean blue coloured tees....but neva mind...this ones good n bright too.....
Dont count wat u lost, cherish wat u ve & plan wat to gain...coz past neva returns but future may return the lost! Think-Decide-Act!!!!
Sachin Tendulkar alone has scored 3263 more Test runs than the whole New Zealand Test side put together.

what made you say this........???
he is such a great player.........
i missed "i think"..didnt get you?
Are you talking about tendulkar?? I mean who will say that there's no spirit left in tendulkar.. As rameshjee mentioned sachin has scored 3263 more runs than new-zealand team together... How many times he need to prove himself..
Ofcourse you've all the right to say anything but in this context i don't agree with you, though you all said with all due respect to sachin
well i heard sachin wont be playin the t20-20 eva....
Dont count wat u lost, cherish wat u ve & plan wat to gain...coz past neva returns but future may return the lost! Think-Decide-Act!!!!
1st T20 --- India Vs NewZealand
Gambhir falls early but sehwag got blistering start.. 3 sixes on first 3 balls he faced..Damn good stuff from sehwag.. He's absolute butcher..
P.S
Sehwag gone for 26 in 10 balls.. India 32 for 2 in 3.1 overs.
sehwag hit 4 sixes ... and just now raina opened his account with a six
@ saurav
Are you follwing the match on TV??
Another six by raina and sharma... It seem that indian are dealing with sixes only.. So far 7 sixes and 1 four..

very insensible batting from indians ... already lost 4 wickets ..
And now dhoni is also out ... score - 62/5
Damn dhoni is bowled by BUTLER.. What's happening..
yousuf pathan hits 3 sixes in a row
and he is also out now

everyone is trying to do a Yuvraj.... :
Never Underestimate the Predictability Of Stupidity
