NZ batsman showed zero respect for 10 Wickets in an innings by Patel. Surely India will come out victorious in the match. Kohli is struggling to regain his form, he need some more time probably. Only rain can save NZ, is there any rain forecast for coming two days of play?
India just need 5 wickets to wrap up the match and two days time to pick those wickets, knowing that New Zealand was able to defend loosing their final wicket in the first Test match when i really thought India would wrap up the match easily, New Zealand showed a fighting spirit but in a situation like this it is impossible.

The previous match was almost in the hands of India, but New Zealand played in a much better way and it ended with a draw as there is no more time. This time two complete days left for five wickets to be taken confirms the winning of India. As said, only rain can help them draw the match. Right now Southern part of India is full of rain, and there is no rain for the particular state in which the match is going on.
I was sure about this India going to win this series by 2 - 0 because at home with spin wickets right now India is invincible for SENA countries but sadly first test draw due to bad light but in second test they give a good lesson to visitors even Ajax Patel achieve historical record, but it's all in vain with New Zealand bowled out on 62 and then 167 which is very poor from their standard but its already end and India having another good series win at home.
In second test between Bangladesh vs Pakistan it's already going for draw with after end of 3rd day play Pakistan 188/2 so in just 2 days having any result is not possible, so a test series win for Pakistan with some good points in WTC table.

So India have already won this match with a huge margin of 372 runs with newzealand getting all out in 167 in their second innings with ashwin and jayant yadav getting 4 wickets each.
Azaz patel got a historic record in this match and apart from that it was a match to forget for newzealand specially their first innings getting out only for 62 runs was not expected from world champions. Overall a complete performance from team India.
I thought India did exceptionally well, especially the captaincy. Virat Kohli, congratulations on your great captaincy; you recorded the biggest win margin ever! There were great displays of spin bowling by both teams, but the Indians dominated by winning the match. While I'm sorry for Ajaz Patel, Cricket is a team's game. Congratulations to the Indian cricket team on their 14th consecutive test series win at home!

After reading your old posts I was feeling you are good aware about cricket rules but after reading this one now I am feeling you have no knowledge about this, or you are really upset with this result draw
Dumb statements. You clearly have no idea how much knowledge I possess regarding Cricket. Also, I am clearly upset with these archaic draw rules in tests which I have expressed through some of my earlier posts.

You judged it right. As long as indians are winning, they like the rules but as soon as they see that indians are unable to win, they try to find excuses for the loss/draw and even want to change the rules of the game for their benefit  Cheesy
Hilarious. Don't you ever get tired of repeating the same nonsensical crap again and again? Grow up already!

And Home domination continues.. In last 2 decades India has lost only 2 series at home. 1 against Australia in 2004-05.  1 against England in 2012-13.

https://i.imgur.com/liGg3a0.jpg

Most consecutive test series wins at home. Let's see when this streak comes to end, my bet would be on Australia if Lyon clicks in next tour but again India has Ashwin-Jadeja-Axar trio as all rounders, it won't be a easy task but not impossible either.

Thats really big and it isn't easy achievable. Such a long list of wins on the home country shows the potential of Indian cricket team on test cricketing. At different captaincy the team have played cricket and has won the 14 series. So, every captain have done the best of their ability and contributed to the win. The upcoming series will make things interesting, because everyone will watch whether the win continues or gonna get stopped.

And it will surely gonna continue for a long time as india has the most complete test side. It is not easy to beat India in test matches even in away conditions, they have beaten Australia in Australia and England in England and when it comes to india it is nearly impossible to beat india in India. Because no need In the world right now play spin that well and dont have quality spinners in their side as well.

I am also feeling in same way this tour is completely waste of time and having some serious threat for players in current situation but as BCCI announced they will go ahead which is really shocking why they are insisting for this tour because Covid cases are rising very quickly many concerns and voices also rising, but we have to wait for official announcement from them in next few days what they are doing about this all.

Today India completely dominant in third day of match and now need just 5 more wickets to win this test and series Ashwin destroying batting line up very quickly like a champion bowler and now leading test wicket taker in this year.

Posted this couple of days back and that's a close reason of this tour getting green light according to SA's media and recent announcement is official. BCCI can't just leave Proteas in middle of crisis, they are already facing so many off-ground problems.

There is no question that players safety is must but it won't be a straight forward decision. CSA is in deep financial crisis and withdrawal from the Australia-England didn't help either so they are expecting BCCI to pull them out from this situation as this tour is worth almost half in value, what CSA receive from the ICC.

And then their is some political angle too. This tour is the 30th anniversary of South Africa re-entry to International Cricket after they faced a ban, coincidentally India was the first country to host them. India A and South Africa A already playing each other so it does look like that both boards don't want to cancel the tour, let's see what happens.

If New Zealand spinner is able to pick 10 wickets and trouble Indian batsman who are known to play spin better in this pitch, you cannot expect any team to hold against the world class spinners India has and that is what we saw with New Zealand.

the vaccines that India had were given to elderly people first then the young people and they were just considering giving it to the kids, but before they do that the new variant of coronavirus has been detected and if India tours under these circumstances, I think it will put the whole Indian nation at risk. But I honestly do not think that they will go through with their decisions and probably will cancel the tour later.
Right now it's not all about vaccination there are many other factors also working western media is exposing how these big multibillion medicine companies doing hypocrisy and having double or treble their profit in the name of this vaccination as effected peoples number increasing very quickly recently in many countries, and now we have this new Omicron which is the more problem right now specially in African countries can create serious troubles so better avoiding and staying at home is much better because always safety is very important but BCCI never thinks about this as they have their own agenda and money greediness which is now having some trouble for their players those are really important for their greediness.

Omicron situation is getting worse day by day not only BCCI but almost all the cricket board should consider this as a great threat to the health of the players and possibly cancel all the near future tours.
I do not think they will cancel all the upcoming matches but may take a decision of playing behind the closed doors. The Ashes series is going to start from 8th December which must be one of the highly awaited one hence I also will vote for playing by not allowing any audience rather than cancelling it.

To be honest I am going to be blunt and I think that Duckworth Lewis is the shittiest thing that could happen in cricket. This rule needs to be renovated really soon.
There were alternatives have been suggested but not sure when ICC will nod for adapting a new algorithm for setting targets for interrupted matches. In my D/L rules are practical with at least 5 overs left; otherwise you may get impossible targets for balls.
In my view test cricket don't need any changes because it's already doing very good as now after introduction of twenty/20 and 10 League we have very good changes so its need to going as it's having right now for better results. In near future ODI are going to be dead or end with these both short formats are going to have big impact on this game good entertainment and quick results peoples love these both and these can bring some more markets for cricket because surely peoples will love these both test could be just in hand of 9 or 10 countries with just top 6 will be good and others will struggle like right now we have West Indies. Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan.

*STOP NOWHERE*
If there was no draw result in test cricket, we would clearly obtained a result(India winning in this case). India literally wrapped up the match, but these stupid archaic rules impeded their win.
Test matches clearly need a Duckworth Lewis type of system in order to minimise draws. Draw result should only be applied in the test format in specific situations(Weather related issues etc).
After reading your old posts I was feeling you are good aware about cricket rules but after reading this one now I am feeling you have no knowledge about this, or you are really upset with this result draw because these are not new rules all applying for all teams with same level so if this match end in draw then nothing new happen because we have many matches like this ends in draw even one team was superior to win and having some good advantages.
You judged it right. As long as indians are winning, they like the rules but as soon as they see that indians are unable to win, they try to find excuses for the loss/draw and even want to change the rules of the game for their benefit  Cheesy
Coming the 2nd test between Pakistan and Bangladesh, it seems that rain is spoiling the test and we are heading towards a draw. If we have full three days matches, then Pakistan first has to make 500+ runs and then take 20 wickets in about 2 days, a tough task at present.

To be honest I am going to be blunt and I think that Duckworth Lewis is the shittiest thing that could happen in cricket. This rule needs to be renovated really soon. And I have to say that the system of winning losing or drawing in the test match is really found at this moment. because if we put Duckworth-lewis in this situation in a test match where it was supposed to be drawn, I think that it will cause more problems because then the losing team will have absolutely no chance of gaining anything from that match.

I think the health of the players and public is more important than the cricket tournaments. Since the new virus variant is originated from South Africa, it perfectly fine for the Indian team not to visit the infected country. Indian cricket board and other authorities should make the decision in the best interest of the players.
If the Indian team goes ahead with their plan to tour South Africa later this month, then it is going to have extreme consequences. The most worrying aspect is that the majority of the Omicron cases in South Africa are among children younger than 5. If the Indian players come back with this mutated strain to India, then it is going to start the third wave of COVID in India. And here in India, none of the children younger than 18 years are vaccinated (unlike the case with the majority of the developed nations). 
India recently marked its one billion vaccination two months back. Then onwards the government is planning for the vaccination for kids, but nothing has reached a conclusion and kids aren't vaccinated. Maybe if the South Africa tour is conducted surely this can lead to some complications. Cricket boards will surely take this into account.

Yes, you are right and that has happened because the vaccines that India had were given to elderly people first then the young people and they were just considering giving it to the kids, but before they do that the new variant of coronavirus has been detected and if India tours under these circumstances, I think it will put the whole Indian nation at risk.

I don't think that India will be able to tour South Africa. The COVID cases are exploding there and yesterday they reported more than 16,000 cases. One week ago, this was in the 2,000-3,000 range. Omicron is destroying South Africa, and I am sure that the situation will get worse in the coming days. I don't know what was Jay Shah smoking when he announced the tour. Even if the tour goes ahead as planned, many of the senior players are going to pull out. And no sporting activity is happening in RSA right now. Everything is stopped.
I am also feeling in same way this tour is completely waste of time and having some serious threat for players in current situation but as BCCI announced they will go ahead which is really shocking why they are insisting for this tour because Covid cases are rising very quickly many concerns and voices also rising, but we have to wait for official announcement from them in next few days what they are doing about this all.

New Zealand currently needs 400 runs to win against India and they have already lost 5 wickets for 140 runs. There is no possibility in my mind where Newzealand wins this match.
