India is not playing upto the best in India. If we take New Zealand we did not played well in their country but they played here like champions. Some of the batsmans not played upto their standards. We are not having bowling sources. We need two all rounders then only we can improve our standard.
Do you know? India is famous for the unity in diversity. Indian Cricketeers are always famous for bulding up the records (of course the lowest) in the foreign soil. Also they allow the visiting teams to achieve the HIGHEST records in their home soil. Example:2nd test match at MOHALI ending on 20-10-2003.
Dear mr.Fleming, Its to early to dream...If you are so sure about it then why did u declare the innings in 450 runs???
Not to forget sachin and sehwags have not scored in first test, hence they can be furious on your bowlers. even if Ian butler becomes as dangeours as Akhtar, it will be of no use. i hope u havent forgotten what sachin did to him in world cup in favoring conditions. Not to mention "The WALL".If the wall stands , opposite captain's brain stops, this is a proven fact !! watch out for them !!!
I do not understand what NZ wants to prove after continuing their play on 3rd day. They made runs with less than 2.5 run rate. We should appreciate our bowlers that they have kept run rate in control. NZ wasted plenty of deliveries. I can easily see this game going towards "draw". NZ players are not lion hearted. Overconfident NZ believes that they can all out India twice in two and half day. Wow.. Thats amazing........
It seems that NZ's chance of winning the test is very much high because,in my opinion, pitch seems to be assisting fast bowlers though Indian bowler could not capatlize by bowling right length & direction.Also the feilding was lack luster.Well ,all hopes is now on"Mr.Wall", the great Sachin.
