Oru bottom ranked team kitta ivLo asingamaa thOtha aprum kooda next match-la 'No changes in Playing XI'-nnu sonnaa :mad: :banghead: :argh:

Rohit should be on ODI suspension, Dhawan and Ashwin on Probabtion, Jadeja and Raina- should be given a warning to improve their batting. Ishant should be fired from the team right away.

Kohli is the only Deivam :notworthy:

Just Stating the facts.

Crowds gather to witness Rohit Sharma crash back to Earth

The Indian Space Research Organisation has confirmed that after Rohit Sharma's latest overseas batting failure, the batsman will be re-entering the planet's atmosphere somewhere over New Zealand in the next few hours as he finally crashes back to Earth.

"Cricket fans and ufologists might recall that the batsman had been flying unaccustomedly high in recent months thanks to a freak string of consistent scoring prior to the tour of South Africa," said a spokesman for the space agency. "Well, it's time for him to come home now. Clearly, his mission is over."

Friends, family members and onlookers have been gathering at a clearing on the outskirts of Napier to welcome the misfiring batsman as he falls back to Earth. Sharma's capsule is expected to parachute down safely into a farmyard of cows, sheep, and Indian selectors, whereupon tradition holds that he will be given a routine health check-up and then immediately prepped to be sent up again on yet another ill-fated mission.

There's some use in Ishanth afterall. An Indian fan gets a 100,000 NZ$(ROUGHLY 84,000 US$) after he catches a six off ishanth bowling.

Time to get Pujara into the team. We are very weak outside the subcontinent. Indha team-ai vechu next year Australia-la WC defence will be a joke.

If our selection policies do not change, I truly wish for a 0-5 whitewash. Appavaavadhu budhi varumaannu theriyala :cry:

If Dhoni continues to be stubborn, varra IPL-la I may start backing up RCB for Kohli :yes:

Kane Williamson became only the second batsman in ODIs to hit fifty-plus scores in all the matches of a five-match series. Yasir Hameed of Pakistan, who hit four fifties and a century in a five-match series against New Zealand in 2003-04, is the other batsman to achieve this feat.

MS Dhoni completed 8000 ODI runs in this match, becoming the fourth-fastest batsman to the landmark, having achieved it in 214 innings. Sourav Ganguly, who took 200 innings, is the fastest to 8000 ODI runs. Dhoni is only the fifth player in ODIs to score 8000-plus runs and effect 200-plus fielding dismissals.

Taylor has been in good form in 2013-14, scoring 1275 runs at 75.00 in international cricket and his hundred in the fifth ODI the batsman's sixth for the season - the most hit by a New Zealand batsman in any season in international cricket, beating Astle's five hundreds in 1995-96.

:clap: NZ

2-வது இடத்தை தக்கவைக்குமா இந்தியா?

சர்வதேச டெஸ்ட் தரவரிசையில் 2-வது இடத்தில் இருக்கும் இந்திய அணி, நியூஸிலாந்துக்கு எதிரான இரு போட்டிகள் கொண்ட டெஸ்ட் தொடரை வென்றாலோ அல்லது சமனில் முடித்தாலோ மட்டுமே அந்த இடத்தை தக்கவைத்துக்கொள்ள முடியும்.

இந்திய-நியூஸிலாந்து அணிகள் இடையிலான இரு போட்டிகள் கொண்ட டெஸ்ட் தொடரின் முதல் போட்டி ஆக்லாந்தில் நாளை தொடங்குகிறது. இந்தத் தொடரை இந்தியா 2-0 என்ற கணக்கில் வெல்லும்பட்சத்தில் அதன் தரவரிசையில் எவ்வித மாற்றமும் இருக்காது என்றாலும், கூடுதலாக ஒரு ரேட்டிங் புள்ளி மட்டும் கிடைக்கும். அதாவது இந்திய அணி 118 ரேட்டிங் புள்ளிகளைப் பெறும்.

ஒருவேளை நியூஸிலாந்துக்கு எதிரான தொடரை இந்தியா 1-0 என்ற கணக்கில் வென்றால் 5 ரேட்டிங் புள்ளிகளை இழக்கும். 3-வது இடத்தில் இருக்கும் ஆஸ்தி ரேலியாவைவிட கூடுதலாக ஒரு ரேட்டிங் புள்ளியை பெற்றிருக்கும். ஆனால் தரவரிசையில் எவ்வித மாற்றமும் இருக்காது. இந்தத் தொடர் 1-1 என்ற கணக்கிலோ அல்லது 0-0 என்ற கணக்கிலோ டிராவில் முடியுமானால் இந்தியா 2-வது இடத்தையும், நியூஸிலாந்து 8-வது இடத்தையும் தக்கவைத்துக் கொள்ளும்.

நியூஸிலாந்து 1-0 என்ற கணக்கில் தொடரை வென் றால் மேற்கிந்தியத் தீவுகளை பின்னுக்குத் தள்ளி 7-வது இடத்தைப் பிடிக்கும். நியூஸி லாந்து 2-0 என்ற கணக்கில் வென்று, இலங்கை-வங்கதேசம் அணிகளுக்கு இடையிலான டெஸ்ட் தொடர் 1-1 என்ற கணக்கில் டிராவில் முடிந்தால், நியூஸிலாந்து 6-வது இடத்தை பிடிக்கும். இலங்கை 7-வது இடத்துக்கு தள்ளப்படும்.

தரவரிசையில் 11-வது இடத்தில் உள்ள இந்தியாவின் சேதேஷ்வர் புஜாரா, 11-வது இடத்தில் உள்ள இந்தியாவின் கோலி ஆகியோர் தரவரிசையில் முன்னேற்றம் காண இந்தத் தொடர் நல்ல வாய்ப்பாகும். முழு பார்மில் இருக்கும் கோலி, நியூஸிலாந்து தொடரின் முடிவில் முதல் 10 இடங்களுக்குள் வருவதற்கு பிரகாசமான வாய்ப்புள்ளது.

That was a great fight by Dhawan & Kohli. I agree there were few bad decisions against Indians but what's the point of whining about that now? Jaddu was so stupid :banghead:

Mccullum, he was supposed to be in out of form, but only against India you can gain form and that too so strongly! Wagner was superb!!

Over all quality test cricket! Enjoyed every bit.

[venkkiram]

Yesterday's lose is unbearable one. Dhoni started facing most of the balls in a over only after Zaheer got out. How stupid Dhoni was! We all know how brittle Zaheer is.. How come Dhoni believing Zaheer's brainless shots? Once Jadeja got out, Dhoni should have dominated completely and guided till the end. Its Dhoni's match and he spoiled it beautifully. It only exhibited how clueless Dhoni was against a victory wall. The priceless contribution of Dhawan and Kohli from the second innings went in vain.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Tests are the best- Hope we get more such matches. India tried their best though.They had given NZ the advantage ery early to a level where they still came short inspite of the amazing repair work. Folding out for such a paltry score when the much inferior batting unit of the opposition got to a 500 is just plain unaccpetable. The bowlers exceeded expectations though.

I felt otherway. Dhoni should had belief on Ishanth ..

He lost his wicket when searched for a single from a short pitched wide delivery in the last ball.. he could have smashed that for a four and asked Ishanth to get a single asap ...

You cannot cover a batsman at other end and score 80+ runs in test match ...

very difficult ..instead u can make them play here and there so that they wont lose their wicket when they have to face the ball ...

[VinodKumar's]

There is a stat ...

It's almost 1000 days now since India won a tset match in abroad. It was against West Indies. Man of the match was Rahul Dravid :noteeth:.

[Russellyhd]

yes it s 992 days since last win.. read sumwhere last nit .. :(
