2nd Test: New Zealand v India at Wellington Feb 14-18, 2014

[Timbo]

And he's done it! Brilliant knock!!!!

 

[JJ]

that Martin stat is brilliant

Well done Neesham, a serious talent...

and McCullum, very special, very very special

 

[Timbo]

Now the question is - will the Basin empty as all the businessmen go back to work?

 

[Timbo]

And he's out.

Its funny how often that happens. Watling got out the ball after the world record partnership was set.

302, what a brilliant innings.

 

[JJ]

That was lead from the front, balls to the wall brilliance... inspirational,

 

[Timbo]

I think he's thinking 400 lead and declare.

 

[Timbo]

This would have to be the least satisfying 5-for in the history of the game.

 

[Twizzle]

nice work big Mac, extreme concentration shown

Kiwis look to be safe from here, 400 even on this pitch would require alot of luck and some crap bowling

 

[Timbo]

Sightscreen maintenance, New Zealand style: whack the shit out of it with a hammer.

hopefully some baling twine, a piece of 4 by 2, some chewing gum and a few rusty nails are available

 

[Timbo]

Looking at that sky you'd say light is going to play a part too, hard to see the game going deep into the third session.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Great knock by McCullum.

 

[Kiwi]

would be great if we have them so broken that we bowl them out easily and make it 2 - 0

 

[JJ]

67 ovrs to have a crack at them... be nice to grab a few early and make them sweat

 

[Kiwi]

considering they have to go at 6.49 front the start, it won't take long for that to creep up past 7 and then 8 even if they come out at a respectable 5 an over in the first 10 or 20 overs. A few quick wickets will really hurt them

 

[JJ]

They need Sehweg :lol:

Glad we didn't give them a sniff, I would have had no drama with us batting on - we're 1-0 up, winning a series against them is the priority - and lest we forget, two days ago most of us were resigned to a loss and a drawn series

 

[African Monkey]

Yeah agreed. We're 1-0 up and we don't have to make any of the play.

Well played to McCullum, Watling and Neesham.

 

[JoeD]

How many records broken this innings?

- Highest score by a NZ batsman
- Highest score by NZ in an innings
- Highest 3rd innings score by any team
- Highest 6th wicket partenership

Feel free to add more

 

[Mr Angry]

Highest crushing of Indian pride.
Highest exposure of overpaid soft players.
LOL @ BCCI

 

[TheParraboy]

We play India in 4 tests next summer =P~

I reckon Johnson is eyeing the 300 club during this time

Marsh will score 1000 for the series (payback is a bitch)
