Test India v New Zealand (3 Tests)

[Plugger35]

Southee taking the catch to win our first test series in India.

History in the making.

 

[eltrain]

Unbelievable achievement by the kiwis. Massive respect. Wish it was us that took the Indians down at home but hey, I’m glad someone did it.

 

[Mr Platinum]

India in crisis, plenty of self immolation incoming in Madras and Bombay. Also a great sporting crowd, not.

 

[MJG14]

This achievement cannot be underestimated. India are so hard to beat at home and always seem to find a way when they are under pressure. A brilliant series win for New Zealand, and they do it without Williamson. Pretty comprehensively as well!

 

[sherb]

Well done New Zealand!

 

[Mr Platinum]

Santner will never bowl like this again. He's just spun one further than if he bowled wrist spin.

Jason Kreza and Steve O’Keefe areas.

 

[RookiePick]

Amazeballs.

Well done NZ.

Eabod India!

Reckon we are in for a real challenge now. 5 tests and a pissed off India. Could be epic.

 

[eltrain]

They’re raging over on the ICF forums. Almost as big a meltdown as we’d have on Bigfooty if we lost a home series to NZ.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Amazeballs.

Well done NZ.

Eabod India!

Some of these Indian players look spent, Ashwin looks 100 years old and Kohli is cooked. Would expect Australia to win comfortably.

 

[Belnakor]

It remains one of the great mysteries how NZ always pluck and plug away against everyone in all formats.

Yet whenever they see a Baggy Green Cap they melt like a violet crumble.

We have seen them beat India in big matches in white ball cricket and WTC final in the past 6/7 years.

Now they have India on the canvas for a famous series win in India.

It’s all mental. The only time they have beaten us at home in the last 40 years was on a greentop when were were rebuilding. And they nearly bottled that too.

 

[Marshland]

Pumped!!

This win came out of nowhere. We didn't even have KWill.

 

[Belnakor]

They’re raging over on the ICF forums. Almost as big a meltdown as we’d have on Bigfooty if we lost a home series to NZ.

Haha. They are within their rights to be ropeable. They took this series way too lightly after the bangas series they thought they were untouchable.

They’re completely demoralised. Ashwin is done. Kohli will be a walking wicket. Shami for some reason isn’t in the squad. We will belt them.

We have England and India smashed in a test match on the same day.

 

[NYRB]

We are witnessing history....

Isn’t shami injured ?

I know kolhi loves the test format and I love him for it but he should be playing a farewell series. He’s actually in danger of being dropped if he totally fails in Australia.

 

[RookiePick]

I hope the positive lads are right.

I think India are mature now and have great depth under the starting 11. Maybe they will roll the dice with some of their selections.

Going to a couple of days of the Perth test. Positively salivating.

We can end Kohli's career

Just like Dravid and Laxman in 2012

Bravo Kiwis

 

[NYRB]

Im not sure if we will see another team in history win 18 series on the stretch again in our lifetime......



Its like climbing Everest. And ive been watching test cricket for a good 3 decades plus.

Do understand alot of these pitches, wickets were favourable to the home side but you need alot of things to go your way, and truncated series eg 2 matches , 3 matches makes things just tricky if you go 1 down early in a series.

And the Kiwis drawing with us in 2001 split that 10 x series stretch between 94 and 08.

On our decks though?

On our decks though?

Flat? Nothing much to challenge their quality of bat judging by the past several summers.

Bravo Kiwis

Signals the end of the Indian juggernaut at home

Ashwin gone, Jadeja fading

Kohli and Rohit gone too

They have the youth to replace the batting but replacing Ashwin and Jadeja will be tougher
