Test India v New Zealand (3 Tests)

[Pakenhamsaint]

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

We do tend to have a bit more bounce in our decks

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

India has a habit of keeping old blokes around way past their use by date because of the celebrity/ god-like status a lot of these established guys have over there. Just means the rebuilding phase that they will need to go through at some point just keeps getting put off.

Maybe a series loss at home will see the penny drop.

Gambhir is a coaching fraud. He'll ruin Indian cricket. Knew it was a bad appointment from the start.

Well done NZ, thoroughly outplayed India. They were happy to play proper test cricket while India really couldn't care less.

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

England with 114. Their lowest ever in Pakistan.
Bloody great day for Aussies

Sri Lanka's series win in South Africa in early 2019 was an epic underdog series win away from home but it's still a few notches below this.

Nah, this one is better. NZ without Williamson. Pretty compressive test cricket played.

If they get beat 4-0 or 4-1 over here I reckon he will be gone.

He has always had that face you would like someone to smash in as well.

Katich that time when he got elbowed by Gambhir should have grabbed him by the throat and throttled him ala Pup.

Winning in south africa is different to winning in India.

Maybe India's B team beating us at the Gabba where we hadn't lost in 33 years to win the series.

But this one here has been incredible.

Tom Latham as captain and Mitchell santner the destroyer ffs who would have thought.

 

[BStaff17]

Mohammed Kaif anyone heard from him yet.

Did the best team lose again.

 

[Westend]

Fantastic by the Kiwis......

Winning the toss and batting on a green deck in the first test....will haunt Rohit for years

Bad?

If it ruins indian cricket it's wonderful.
