NEW ZEALAND HAVE NO DOUBT PLAYED A VERY GOOD GAME OF CRICKET AND SHOWN THE MIGHTY INDIANS A FEW FUNDAMENTALS OF A GOOD GAME OF CRICKET. THEY HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONAL AND CLINICAL IN THE EXECUTION OF THEIR GAMEPLAN.
ALL THIS BEING TURE IT DOES NOT MAKE TEAM INDIA A BUNCH OF NOVICES AS IS BEING PROJECTED BY THE NEW ZEALAND COMMENTETORS ON SKY TV. ANY TEAM CAN HAVE A BAD GAME BUT IT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE MERITS OF THE CRICKETERS INVOLVED. WE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A MORE PREJUDICED AND ONE SIDED CRICKET COMMENTARY BY ANY STATION ON THE ETHER THAT BROADCASTS CRICKET COMMENTARY. CRICKETERES OF THE LIKE OF MARTIN CROWE AND MACMILLAN ARE APPEALING MORE THAN THE CRICKETERS ON THE FILD. THEY ARE EVEN MAKING THE UMPIRES SEEM TO BE ALL GIVING WRONG DECISIONS ALL THE TIME.THEY ARE WANTING EVERY BALL TO GET A WICKET AND THE HOME BOWLERS UNPLAYABLE TO ALL AND SUNDRY. IT ONLY SHOWS THE DESPERATION OF THE NEW ZEALANDERS TO WIN A GAME AND EQUATE THE SERIES SCORE.
TEAM INDIA FACES TEAM NEW ZEALAND ON THE FIELD AND TEAM NEW ZEALAND COMMENTATORS ON THE AIR.
SAD DAY INDEED WHEN CRICKETERS WHO ADORN THE RECORD BOOKS OF CRICKET AND HAVE PLAYED ALONGSIDE MANY OF THE CURRENT TEAM INDIAN CRICKETERS CAN BE SO PARTISAN AND PREJUDICED JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT THEIR TEAM NOT TO BE FACED WITH A WASTED IMPOSING SCORE CARD IF INDIA CAN PULL OF A DRAW HERE.
SHEWAG AND COMPANY YOU HAVE OUR BEST WISHES WITH YOU BUT ON THE DAY MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN.
India thinks they cannot be beaten even when they do not practise. The indian team was in Auckland entertaining themselves till a day before the test at Napier. It is clearly visible in their performance. Napier is a pitch with high scores and we Indians are loosing wickets. India will not be fielding again by the way they are batting. Look at our new captain Sehwag, he has to play a captain innings and NO - he likes to just wack the ball. Did not learn from his first innings mistake and he repeats a similar trend in the second. Indian players are paid way too much and which is why they are least bothered of how they perform. I thought they were perforning good since the last few series but their behaviour here in NZ gives a bitter picture. To be very honest I am surprised this is not mentioned in the news at all of the Indian team "practise" before the games.
Only "The Wall" Rahul Dravid, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman can Save India From This Test Match...What is the role of Yuvraj Singh and Karthik in this test ?.?.?

Once Dravid and Laxman Batting,India Was In decent Position.When Darvid Fell Down,the door was left open for the Kiwis. Only Daravid and Laxman can Save India From This Test Match....
Dinesh Karthik is a burden on team India.He has been given a no. of chances to perform but failed miserably.As it is evident that India cannot win this match,atleast a draw would be a relief.But doubts will be raised for DK's inclusion in the team.

The problem is he preforms grate in domestic cricket and preforms poor when sent in international arena. This confuses selectors very much.

I would say Ur Calculation is not correct. No doubt Dhoni is a great captain but there are other Veterns in the team. Any team without practise no sucess , thats wat happened here!
