India Tour of New Zealand !!

Can't control my tears.....sniff..snif...sob... Waste of time for me..

 

no matter who wins
but the match was great and newzealand played really WeLL
Welldone Newzealand!

 

Whatever...
Kolkatta Knight riders imo shouldn't at all entertain Mccullum and outcast him and treat him badly.. that should serve him well....if i get the oppurtunity i'm definitely going to suicide bom myself taking him and the rest of the team as well....

 

What a match,McCullum deserve match of the match.

 

Batsmen have been letting us down since last 2 consecutive matches!!

Bowlers are doing just great....when will these top order batsmen stand up and get counted!

 

looks lik India is nt doin so well in NZ..lost both T20 matches..

 

Don't worry, It's enough to boost them to win Odi Wins and Test wins and I am sure you will see different results in both series.

 

Hey, don't see future matches too much positive, see few days when they play matches. What we told about T20 before few days. Most of guys said "I'm sure India will win T20 matches". But finally what was happening.
Cricket is depending on many factors. (Not only with words from our mouth)

 

Well we knows only New Zealand is team who never lost against India in T20. India lost only 4 T20 matches and among them 3 against New Zealand.

 

I have not lost hope on India doing well....I am more worried for the style and attitude of the Indian batsmen..They are playing as if they are still playing on Indian sub-continent!

They need to adapt to the New Zealand pitches and atmosphere....quickly!
till then..they should please avoid cross batted strokes!

Nope.. Catch was dropped by Rohit Sharma...

Let's see how India play in the first ODI..

 

Rohit sharma is in out of form

 

No doubt, he is out of form in batting...but it seems he is out of form in fielding..as well...

He was very bad in even anticipation and could not go behind on time to make that catch...though he had ample time to do so....
In the end, he messed up badly!

Damnnnnnnn....India lost 2 T20..

 

Six Indian players will be staggered over two rounds of New Zealand's State Championship in a bid to get some practice ahead of the three-Test series, Niranjan Shah, the Indian team manager has confirmed. Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Amit Mishra and L Balaji will play the matches between March 6 and 9 while Dhawal Kulkarni and M Vijay will join the competition for the next round beginning March 13.

There was doubt over their participation because two of the state sides - Canterbury and Auckland - include ICL players and the BCCI's stance on the banned league prevented their players from joining any side that had cricketers from the league. However the scheduling is such that the Indians will avoid playing alongside or even against ICL players. This is a lucky escape for the BCCI which was in danger of being put in a compromising situation over ICL for the second time this week after they withdrew Sachin Tendulkar and Dinesh Karthik from a charity game which included ICL's Hamish Marshall.

Auckland and Northern Districts have ICL players - Daryl Tuffey and Hamish Marshall - in their four-day squads but they already have the one permitted overseas player. Canterbury contracted its ICL players Shane Bond and Chris Harris only for the one-dayers and Twenty20s. The first round of games featuring the Indians has Auckland playing Northern Districts. In the next round, Kulkarni and Vijay will play the match between Central Districts and Wellington. They are yet to be their assigned teams.

Heath Mills, the New Zealand Cricket Players' Association (NZCPA) chief who had earlier said the players' body would block any move to pull out ICL players from the state sides to facilitate the games, said he was happy with the outcome. "Each major association is allowed one overseas player under our contracting environment which is something we have always supported and encouraged."

Justin Vaughan, New Zealand Cricket's chief executive, said he was pleased that the associations and NZCPA had been able to work constructively with the board to meet India's request of game time for the players.

"There have been a number of issues to work through, including the involvement of ICL players, NZC's rules around overseas and qualifying players, player allocation, scheduling and travel arrangements," Vaughan said.

"This is an excellent solution that means we're able to offer the incoming Indian players appropriate preparation in first-class conditions - and at the same time give our domestic sides an incredible opportunity to play alongside some of the great names in international Test cricket. For some of our young players especially, the chance to spend four days on the park and in the dressing room with players of the calibre of VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid is priceless."

India's coach Gary Kirsten felt NZC's gesture to accommodate the players set a good example for other boards.

 

wow...don't tell me you realized it today..

 

Yes and may be he will be out from team in ODI as we have good players who can perform well.

 

Yes, He has been out of form , in fact i have never seen him bat sensibly, he's always trying the odd shots and getting himself out in crucial part of the game I wish he stays out of the team like sreesanth

 

Our batting bench is full of talent and so people not performing would be shown the door immediately. Rohit Sharma has to show a positive attitude and perform or else he would join the likes of Robin Utthapa...sooner!

Yes Robin uthapa can play well than Rohit sharma.
