do people still watch test cricket  Grin, i just watch the score card to know the results,thought New Zealand could manage to score some runs,but when the top order fails to score big they just lost it all.

Yes I have always watched Test Match cricket since I was 8 years old and have not stopped as it's my favorite form of cricket. Even though in recent years Australia has not been as good as it was in the late 80's and all through the 90's and early 2000's I still watch and support my country. I know sometimes it can get boring for people when a team is trying to draw a game but that is part of test match cricket and I don't mind watching when this happens.
Australia is role model team for every decade they will bounce back from this bad patch very soon they need some positive mind all players are good and giving 100% but just time is not going with them

India has good lead of 276 and still batting in 2nd innings. If India want to win this match than it must declare the innings before lunch break. Than it will get lead around 400+ runs and I think it will be good decision to invite New Zealand for batting. 4th innings always has huge pressure for any team and I am quite India will get succeed to win this match.
Yes, India must declare his innings before Lunch. Because already India leads by 276 runs, tomorrow they want to play fast innings to make a big score. And yes 400+ runs are enough to win this match. Now New Zealand batsman also looking strong. So need some time to make them all out. So taking declare before lunch break is a good idea.

Bangladesh vs England 3rd ODI Which is series decider will took place in Wednesday. I think BD is going to win this series though it will be a tough one but there player is in very much in form and last time with SA, BD win the series by winning on 3rd in Chittagong, Bangladesh. And it's happening again and I think BD will win again.

Yes, nowadays people are addicted to Test cricket because the short time cricket T20 match will come daily, so people are bored with this format of cricket. And nowadays Test matches also giving a lot of surprise results. Before all most all matches will end with Draw very rarely, we see the full match results. But now it's changed match will not play up to 5th day, in 3rd or 4th day itself we are getting results. So now test matches are becoming popular.

Yes what you said is correct now a days as most of Test Matches are showing results so every one is getting interested and we can see lot of dramas in the Test matches.
New Zealand have not performed well in first Innings but if in the second innings their top orders perform well then we can see draw or new Zealand winning the match.

Yesterday Bangladesh Spinners outperformed and won the 2nd odi against England.
I think fast bowler done great job than spinners yesterday. Because,  Mashrafee took 4wickets total but got 3 in Powerplay 1 & give pressure on the batsman.When Buttler was trying to take England on a good position fast bowler taskin took him to the pavilion. Though spinner did a good job but fast bowler help the team to win.

Test cricket gets boring if the other team struggles to get runs in the 1st innings and then they follow on. I prefer watching 1 day or T20 where the game's result is known faster else only Aus-Eng test matches are worth watching. New Zealand was struggling for their runs and the winner is already known. Still they will drag it till tomorrow.

This is official end of New Zealand's inning at 299 runs. Now there is no need to make comment as everything is clear by itself. India is unofficially has already won since there is nothing what can stop it now. There is time what can not be dragged which make this test result oriented so New Zealand better luck next time.

But in cricket anything can happen so NZ still got a chance to come back in this test match because there are many matches first innings scored very badly and still they manage to win the test matches. But it all depends on how NZ team will play in the second innings. If they continue like the first innings, then India will win.

New Zealand 6 wickets down and still 341 runs behind in its first innings, I think now India is in very secure position and getting close to win this last test match, it looking India will restrict New Zealand's innings before end of 3rd day still 31 overs left for current day and will lead around 250+ runs like this.

New Zealand has lost already 9 wickets for 295 runs and trail by 263 runs with 1 wicket remaining in the 1st innings. Indian spin bowlers did a very good job for India. Both spin bowlers took 7 wickets and two of them are run outs. It will be even difficult to play next innings because pitch will turn more for spin bowlers.

I still am watching this match between India and New Zealand. As whole situation and things are not in favor of New Zealand but it is game after all and any partnership can change everything. I was waiting for right moment and still I am not satisfied on any thing. I will keep following if there will be chance jump else will let it go away.

We were expecting to see this happening in test match this thing after what India finished at that high score. I am more amazed at the match between Bangladesh and England played yesterday. Bangladesh fought badly first in batting then in bowling and it was totally failure of English team to not be able to chase successfully.
In absence of main batsmen its happen they done some hard work but need some more effort from top order which completely fail in chasing this target but they are still good and can win this series

India is back into this match in last 10 overs got 4 wickets for 25 runs because Ashwin is on fire, New Zealand again into deep trouble as expected, it seems now India has more great chance to whitewash the New Zealand in early session has very big when draw was looking more favorite.

Yes and like I said if India got some quick wickets I think they will win. It will be interesting to see if New Zealand can get another 154 runs to avoid the follow on and if India get the last 4 wickets before that will they enforce the follow on. Either way I think India win and win easily in the end.
