Lyon thrives on turn and bounce (as does any offie) not going to happen on a dying sub continent pitch, O'Keefe (trying to establish himself, although experienced at domestic level) does not have much international experience. The Indians will get after him, so they have no hope imo... (obviously I am biased lol)

O'Keefe was unhappy about your comment so he decided to put you in your place :lol:

Just seen he took 6 scalps in 24 balls... wow... thats the proper way to show someone who doubted you that they are a tosser lol...

OMW... that must make me a double tosser... ok ok, I wont doubt Okeefe anymore lol.... India were humped...

Now the series is on, India will come back strong at Bangalore in the 2nd test. Big problem will be if they should stick or turn with the type of pitch.

They couldn't prepare the same type of shit pitch if they tried

Just amazed that Aus showed much better batting application

At least the arrogant Indian commentators will be quite for a while

best thing to happen that oz win first test will set up series nicely..being such an important series i am shocked they play a test at a venue thats never been used for test cricket before and secondly the crowd turnout was very poor ...indias fielding and catching was shocking and my biggest concern for them is how will kohli as captain handle the loss as this is the first time he will be under pressure as test captain and he doest seem the coolest and laid back of characters which might have a negative effect on the team ..in fact as far as temperaments go he is the exact opposite to ms dhoni who in my mind was a superb leader of men

Unfortunately I missed the NZ innings today, and my o my, I wish I didnt. Even though it was against SA, any score of 180 not out must be a spectacle and a privelage to watch... The one thing that has always amazed me about Guptil is the stark contrast in performance between the white and black clothing.... its actually quite amazing...

SA bowling was poor as they gave him so many free hits by bowling half volleys. He could hardly run toward the end of his inning. Was a great knock though and NZ fully deserved the win. The final match at Eden Park should be a run feast as the straight boundries are very short. Looking forward to the 3 tests

Imo, there is only 2 possible results for the tests... 1- S.A whitewash NZ. 2- Williamson and Taylor have stormers (which isnt out of the question as they are both great batsmen), and make the series a 2-1 win to the Protea's. Thats the only way I see it going.

Have you taken rain into account. Dunedin where the first test is to be played loves a rainfall.

Final one dayer at Eden Park, have a feeling that 400 will be the score to beat. Straight boundries are very short so expect to see plenty of big shots.

West Indies v England on now should be a close match.

NZ need to score at 15 runs a over to get to 400 (only 4 wickets left)

Barring the 2 dropped caught and bowled chances, our fielding was absolutely superb...

That was like a training session.
