Today second test match between NZ and WI has started already. West Indies won the toss and elected to field first but NZ is doing quite good so far in this first innings. They already scored 173 runs and lost three wickets. I think NZ can easily score more than 400 runs in this innings which will be tough for WI team to score. Most likely NZ will this match comfortably.

New Zealand struggled to make a great start and lost around 5 for 180 and from then on a good partnership helped them get close to 300.The run rate could have been better after the 6th wicket partnership, anyways credit to WI for a good first-day bowling.
It was very sad for the cricket lovers especially for the fans of New Zeeland when the match begin because they were suffering a lot at the start of a match and it seemed that the pitch was only a balling pitch but not the batting pitch. However, West Indies had a strong batting but their bowling line is very weak as much I know but still they played outstanding and proved that they are improving their bowling as well.

NZ is 183 runs behind from the winning margin.So I think they are quite on a good position.They need to bat sensibly from now.Two most experience player Guptil and Taylor are on the crease.But the sad news is Rain stoped the game now.

Pakistan need to take quick wickets after game starts.We all know Pakistan have worlds most dangerous bowing attack.So they can turn the match towards anytime.

New Zealand won this match by 8 wickets based on D/L method and still, there were 7 balls remaining in the innings. Both Guptill and Taylor played a very good inning after losing the two quick wickets. Both guys run rate was more than 100% in this innings and that's why they can able to win this match based on D/L method. Now NZ is leading this series with 2-0 and both matches were won by D/L method.

The second one-day match between NZ and Pakistan started. Pakistan scored 246 runs in 50 over by losing nine wickets.Also, Pakistan has started bowling nicely because they already took first NZ wicket just for four runs in three overs. As we know, Pakistan strength is their bowling so they can do some magic to win this match. The score is not so high that's I still think that NZ may win this match.
The target is not high, but Pakistan has very good bowling lineup they can have the ability to restrict NZ and win this game. NZ lost the 2nd wicket, and the score is 62 runs, now Martin Guptill is playing with Taylor if they make some good partnership NZ can win this game. My prediction is 50 - 50 because Pakistan is an unpredictable team.

That was another easy win for Australia and that made it 2 test matches where they only had to bat the once to win the match. I really thought England would of been a lot better this series but Australia were just too good for them even though England were in 3 of the games but couldn't go on with it. If Stark was playing in Melbourne I think Australia would of won 5-0 as he is the match winner for Australia even if he doesn't take the wickets most of the time but he roughs the batsman up with his bowling and opens the door for Lyon or one of the other bowlers to take the wickets. Congrats to Australia on winning the Ashes and now we move onto the ODI series where I hope England will be more competitive.

I absolutely agree with you. Even I expected England to be more competitive and this series to be a cracker. But as it turned out it was not that competitive. England were there in three of the matches, but familiar collapses haunted them. I also agree with your fact that Starc is a match winner for Australia. He is the one who opens the gates for Cummins, Lyon and others. I am also excited for the ODI series

What a turn over in the match right now . SA in very difficult position and if ABD fails to bat well and put up good score then Indians might win this match . Anything above 250 will be difficult to chase in this pitch but very possible with the current Indian side, SA must waste as much balls as possible and try to score only when they get loose balls.
South Africa won the game with a wonderful bowling performance from Philander and a day in which we saw 18 wickets fall,it was a difficult pitch to bat but i expected some fight from the famed Indian batsmen but after the fall of Kohli they could fold them pretty easily and was a disappointing first test and hope the series will be like this.

Pretty predictable result, the first innings of South Africa's rival was saved by the bowlers and end players. But constant bad performance in the second one also made it easy for SA to bag the first win. Mr. Kohli seriously needs to focus and hold his wicket for more and change the batting order might help, its still unbelievable none of the other batsman could stay for long, the SA bowlers were awesome and catches taken was good as well.

The result was predictable, but not the way it was achieved. Nobody would have guessed that you would have hardly 18 wickets falling in a single day. The rain yesterday did have a huge impact and made the pitch helpful to the bowlers. You can criticize the Indian batting, but the South African batsmen were blown away too.

It truly was a great game but it was over after the beginning inning in my opinion. Kohli needs to improve his game and make sure he holds onto the bat harder because India could have won.

It is always a shame when one player ruins it for everyone. I'm not talking about just cricket, but in every sport. Like when a keeper plays bad depsite his team dominating offensively and defensively, it is a real bummer.

India have lost by 72 runs against SA.It was really a bad performance from India as they all out by scoring just 135 on second innings.Philander got 6 wickets, he was superb on this match.

India should try to change squad on next match.Because Ashwin getting no help from the pitch.Maybe he will be replace by a fast bowler on next match.

I hope india will come back strongly on next match.
A wonderful test game. Yes, must mention Vernon Philander, he takes career-best figures of 6/42 such a great bowling display against Indian Cricket Team. Indians played well, it's not easy to win against SA in their homegrounds. Wish IND come back next game.
Today as India Start in second inning I was sure its golden chance for them to take lead in this series because they came here with too many wins but as Philander done at the end this was very outstanding because he was on fire and complete for South Africa in absence of Dale good work and good win by home team

This is bowling pitch so Batsman is struggling to make a big score. India lost one more wicket 103/7. need 105 runs i think it is not possible. SA will win.

Guys, it's over. India bowled out for just 135, with Vernon Philander taking six wickets. I would have bet on India and lost my money, but fortunately I decided to skip this match. And BTW, I don't know why they are including Ashwin in the playing XI. He is good only in Indian conditions. He can never perform in countries such as South Africa and Australia.
I think they are soon going to change the playing XI Ashwin was kept in because he is the best spinner India has. Turn in South african conditions is really difficult thing to do. But in this match I think it was the Indian batting squad at fault. I mean there wasn't even a single person except Bhuvneshwar Kumar who was able to judge the swing in the ball. I think its better if they bring Rahane in he is a better batsmen of tough conditions but it will be a hard choice to make that who will skip the match.
I think they will not drop Ashwin he is the only spinner is playing on the Indian team, maybe they will drop Murali Vijay and bring back Rahane in his place. This is the only option left for Indian Team.

Congrats South Africa.

SA played like a champions. In spite of getting all out in 2nd inning for just 130 runs they never gave up the match and as a result their bowlers were all fired up and started to  pick wickets right form the start. Bowling was led Phil who bowled some amazing deliveries and Indian batsman failed to rise up again in second innings.

Anything above 250 will be difficult to chase in this pitch but very possible with the current Indian side, SA must waste as much balls as possible and try to score only when they get loose balls.

Even 200 is going to be a difficult chase on the final day and SA being the best when it comes to the second innings bowling.India needs to have someone fire like hardik in the second innings to get close to 200.

This match is very interesting and excellent bowling from Indian side they made SA all out just 130 runs in 2nd innings. This made India win this match easily, but SA also gave a shock to India by picking 3 wickets just for 50 runs. Now India needs 156 runs to win this game 7 wickets in hand. Kholi and Sharma are playing SA manage to pick these two wickets quickly then they will get chance to win this match. Let 's see who will win.

Lol, whats happening in this test match. First SA bowled out on 130 and now India has already lost 6 wickets on 81runs, they still required 130 runs to win this test match which seems very difficult at the moment. South Africa need only 4 more wickets to win this match, why wickets are falling every minutes ? Day 3 was washed out due to rain but still this match can be finished on day 4 itself.
Well yes and most probably it looks like SA will be the one on the winning side. I think its the humus on this pitch due to some rain which has actually taken this game towards South africa as you can see it was the first innings lead which will actually make them win. But its still a long tour India can surely fight back once they adapt themselves with the conditions.
