NZ tour of India, Sept 22- Oct 26

[Dr Cricket]

Interesting read on Cricinfo regarding the toss in the sub continent. The home team has won the toss 13 times in a row, or is it 14 times now with India winning the toss in this test.

Is this some sort of record?

Wow - that is some record. At one stage Dhoni had an appalling record and seemed to always lose the toss.

That sent him mad as well, basically made him change the pitch so the bowlers don't concede 500 again in the first innings.
he hated the idea of India win the toss win the game, india lose the toss and most likely draw the game or an harder win.

Kohli having better luck with the coin. Six in a row- according to cricinfo.

Kohli really needs to start concentration on his batting, he currently spending all his time on the captaincy and india style of play.
his batting might not be crucial in india but if he really want to be regarded in the top tier batsman of this era he needs to be scoring runs consistently and in overseas conditions his runs can not be made up by the spinners or the bowlers.
in India 2 or 3 poor batting performances can be made up since 300 is generally a winning total for India.

NZ can be happy with today's play.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Plenty on the board for India in spite of the collapse. Good for the game that NZ are fighting back. Two on his return for Jeetan.

Not many for Mo'hit and Shikhar today. Will prove a few on here right, even if briefly.

sorry to be a pain but the joke is No hit not mohit.
haven't see the game how is the pitch playing out, can't see 220 being enough at best india need 350 to make a game out of it, although neutral will love india all out for 300.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Mo'hit is my name for him. A kind of riposte to Nohit.

[Arthur Crabtree]

3-35 for Matt Henry. Well done to him. Tough start in Tests for him generally.

ah ok was going to write on that post unless I am missing the joke.
Every time you used it, always think of Mohit Sharma lol and he is an indian bowler if you don't know him.

Always encouraging to get an opposition 7 down, only for a bloke with 3 first class treble tonnes to pad up and walk in.....

actually he a slow track, spinning track bully, can't score anything on a flat or normal wicket deck.
Actually baffling how he scored 3 triple hundred really, more baffling is that he is a batsman.

[Dr Cricket]

Wow that deck is green.
india batsman had a shocker should have scored 500+.
not going to be much help for the spinners till day 4 and 5 and the little movement the seam bowlers were getting will be gradually going and the indian fast bowlers won't make use of it anyway, so a great opportunity for NZ to win here especially with them losing the toss.

Not actually seen a greener deck in my life ever in india or for the matter in england.
even the green decks in england are not that green.

Someone who scores 300's like that can bat, regardless of opposition and decks.....

[The Professor]

Pujara and Rahane surprising me with their batting in this series.

If India get another 60 I think they're on for the win.

[Dr Cricket]

Not sure how anyone can be surprised by Rahane India best batsman and the most consistent in the teams scored runs everywhere and averages close to 50.
