***Official*** New Zealand in India 2012

[Blakey]

Oops looks like I may have spoken too soon

 

[Athlai]

UUuuugggh

 

[Flametree]

Spoke too soon...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So much for a tight finish. Sehwag to tee off and make the target look small.

 

[Mike5181]

Yeah, definitely not going to win from here unless we can randomly suck 75 runs from these last two partnerships.

Ah, get ready for the T20s guys.

 

[Athlai]

This is pretty much how the win against Australia went FTR. IT was an emotional roller coaster.

 

[silentstriker]

This is 4th innings in India not on a flat pitch. I think you guys are underestimating how hard it will be to chase 250ish.

 

[Blakey]

The kid from the invetweeners needs to open his shoulders and go for a tonk.

 

[Athlai]

Jeets guys. Jeets.

 

[straw man]

**** me that scorecard is a joke, every single one of them should hang their heads in shame. Threw this game away completly.

awta. work so hard to stay in the match all game and then throw it away as soon as you have a sniff

 

[Meridio]

We're stuffed. 230 not a big enough target on this pitch. We're going to be relying entirely on swing with the new ball to knock them over.

 

[Mike5181]

Nah, when you consider the speed at which this test match has progressed India won't be batting much, if at all on day five. We definitely needed quite a bit more.

 

[Athlai]

Jeeeeets!

 

[Athlai]

Should've come in ahead of Southee FTR.

 

[nsniks]

Cmon guys wrap it up quickly

 

[silentstriker]

It's not going to be as bad as day five but there is already enough uneven bounce to make any chase tricky.

 

[Agent TBY]

Spinners take wickets in two consecutive overs. What next? Replace one of them with a pacer, of course!

 

[Athlai]

Yeah we're still in with a chance with about 250 but we really needed 100 more to be on top in this game. I'd say 300-320 is about where honours would be even.

 

[straw man]

Slightly pleased we will still bat tomorrow.

80/4 wasn't enough with the new ball last innings - we pretty much need India 6 down with the new ball before it flattens out.

Prediction - India to chase this 3 down.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I suppose at 111-4 NZ would have taken this but again it is a case of what might have been for them. Get the score up to 260 and they may have a chance, got to fancy India though.
