I was disappointed by India's unexpected poor performance. A few days ago, India performed brilliantly against Bangladesh but were bowled out for just 46 runs against New Zealand at their home ground. None of India's batsmen performed well, Ravichandran Ashwin, Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja these five batsmen were out for 0 runs which is disappointing. New Zealand's bowling line was excellent which is commendable. India's batsmen could not survive in front of William ORourke and Matt Henry's excellent bowling. The second day's play is over today will be the third day's play. So far New Zealand have collected 180 runs in the first innings losing 2 wickets. New Zealand has given a lead of 134 runs, today India's batsmen will have to bowl well, New Zealand will have to try to get all out quickly otherwise India will lose. Let's see how many runs New Zealand can score today.
That was a surprising match. I was not expecting that India will perform like that. Means really? India team has bowled out at 46 runs. Amazing bowling by the New Zealand team. There were only two bowlers who change the whole game. William O’Rourke and Matt Henry both players bowled really. Matt Henry collected 5 wickets and William O’Rourke collected 4 wickets and 1 wicket by Southee. Overall New Zealand performance was amazing. And according to the current situation New Zealand has made 180 runs and they lost only 3 wickets. I believe that if New Zealand will go above 300 runs so this will be a good lead. So let's wait and what New Zealand will do today. 
I am also shocked by this match. India did very badly getting out for just for 46 runs. New Zealand bowling was fantastic especially Matt Henry and William O'Rourke. Matt took 5 wickets and William took 4 wickets. New Zealand is now batting well too with 180 runs and only 3 wickets lost. Well done New Zealand. Their teamwork and planning are working well. Now we wonder how much will New Zealand win by? Can India come back? The excitement goes on. So let's see what they both will do? I hope that New Zealand will win this match. 
I think no one expected today's match performance because everyone expected a great exciting test match between New Zealand and India but Indian team was bowled out for just 46 runs which is actually surprising. I don't think India has ever taken such lowest runs in a test match before.
It was a very embarrassing performance for everyone from Virat Kohli to Rohit Sharma. However, Matt Henry and William O'Rourke deserve credit for this excellent performance from the New Zealand team.

The Pakistan team had a got a good lead of 296 runs that New Zealand England had to chase and some of the runs New Zealand England had chased already. They have lost two wickets for 36 runs. It is the last innings meanwhile the result waiting, with no chance of a draw. There are more chances for the Pakistan team as in the last innings, Sajid Khan and Noman Ali bowled very well.
Pakistan would want the same type of rhythm of bowling by them once again then Pakistan would win their first matches after a long time. What do you think will Pakistan make it or once again lose the chance, I think they will make it this time because they are bowling last in this test.
Well let me correct it's england verse Pakistan you had just mixed both matches hahaha, anyway in my view Pakistan scored not ordinary but a decent target and I think if they continue thier previous day performance them I am sure it's enough Target for them to defend as currently it will be totally dependent on Pakistan spin trio it will be interesting how they once again disappointed opponent batting lineup, I know it's Gona be tough for them but we has to be positive as Pakistan are really unpredictable in world so anything can happen anytime. Anyway Pakistan has very good start as england lose thier two very vital performer hope at the end of fourth day we will have match results as same bowling lineup will follow his same drill on same track against same batting lineup 😉 Pakistan would want the same type of rhythm of bowling by them once again then Pakistan would win their first matches after a long time. What do you think will Pakistan make it or once again lose the chance, I think they will make it this time because they are bowling last in this test.

Although this kind of defeat was not expected by anyone, I mean defeat because the runs they got all out made them more likely to lose in this match.It was a very embarrassing performance for everyone from Virat Kohli to Rohit Sharma. However, Matt Henry and William O'Rourke deserve credit for this excellent performance from the New Zealand team.
But if you think that this is India's lowest score in test format then you are wrong because earlier also Indian team has been all out below 50 several times in test format if you want you can visit this link- Lowest innings totals in Tests
Not only the Indian team but other big teams have written their name in this list so it is an unexpected result but not so big if you see strong countries like New Zealand, South Africa and Australia also have names in this list.
On the first test between India and New Zealand, India performed historically bad. It was the third lowest innings score and the lowest ever at home. New Zealand pace bowlers bowled really well but India is not some associate team that would crumble just because of good bowling. There had been mistakes from the Indian side too. 5 of their batsmen were duck. The pitch was not particularly bad for batting as later the day, New Zealand has already made 180 at the loss of three wickets. I hope Indian team would bat more responsibly at the 2nd innings and this game would be more balanced and competitive than a one sided one.
I was very surprised in this match that India played so poorly or the Indian batsmen were pressure that they could not hit the target hard.I don't think there will be any team in a Test match that has set a target of 47 runs. Even the weakest team targets above 100. I also know the strength of India.For this reason I also fear that India may give such a target. No matter how much pressure he want he could not give a target of less than 200.But I also think that New Zealand is strong than India, but it was so strong that I realized from this match. New Zealand bowling has play an outstanding role in this match which has surprise us all and I think they will win this first Test match.India will be strong in the next match because they were bad in the first innings due to pressure and lack of preparation in this match but they will surely give an answer.

If Pakistan wants to win this match then the batsmen as well as the bowlers need to perform well. One of the reasons for Pakistan's defeat in the first match was the bowlers not performing well.
Pakistan hadn't lost the first match for poor bowling performance actually. The pitch had nothing for the bowlers. They have made the perfect pitch in second test match. Pakistan is favourite in the match after the end of day 3. I hope they will be able to completely turn the match in their favour in the first session of day four.On the other side, I never imagined such pathetic batting performance from this squad of India. They don't have any chance in this match now.

Did India make a mistake in building their squad? Or have New Zealand's bowlers performed unexpectedly well? India have two pace bowlers in their squad. Bhumrah and Siraj have two experienced pace bowlers in India's squad. And India have kept Yadav, Ashwin and Jadeja in the squad.
On the other hand we saw New Zealand use their three pace bowlers. Among them, Matt Henry and William O'Rourke picked up 9 wickets. These two pacers of New Zealand have done great bowling. On the other hand, New Zealand lost three wickets but India's two pacers could not pick up a single wicket.
M.Chinnaswamy Stadium is a new stadium. This is probably why India was not well aware of this pitch. The pace bowlers are capable of bowling brilliantly on this pitch. We got proof of this in New Zealand's performance. However, we did not see the two Indian pace bowlers bowling very well. Indian spin bowlers have taken all three wickets. So I don't think there was any big mistake in making India's squad. India management is very experienced, and they have prepared the best XI.
But we were not prepared to see such a performance from the Indian batsmen. It was this team that set a huge target of 298 runs against Bangladesh in a T20 match a few days ago. And scored only 46 runs in this match. India has no chance of winning. The Indian team will definitely lose this match. New Zealand has already taken a lead of 134 runs. My guess is New Zealand team to take a lead of at least 300+ runs.
Even in Ranji, conditions were favoring seamers here so clearly Rohit made a big mistake choosing to bat first and he accepted this in a post-day interview that he was completely off with his decision.
It's just one of those days when everything goes wrong. The toss decision and a humiliating batting collapse with clown catching in the slips (Again Rohit and also KL Rahul) but still after all the fucks up, this team is good and hungry to perform and win matches. There is a high possibility of embarrassing defeat but this team knows how to fight back so my fingers are crossed and would be happy with the hard fought draw.
PS: I am actually happy that curators are creating result oriented pitches.
(Andy, Garam Garam Andy ly lo😂😜😂) lol that was terrible, to be honest no one expect that kind of results from Indian team especially when they recently white wash Bangladesh team at home ground in two different format series. But I think they way indian coach G.Gambir give statement that now we should focus on bowling but not batting
Guatum Gambir said to focus on bowling and not batting but he did not say to completely forget about the batting
India has to play their natural gameplay. If they would play in this way then they would never ever win against the big teams. We were waiting for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma but they both played poor innings, Virat Kohli was out on zero while on the other hand, Rohit Sharma was out on two runs.
After the World Cup these legends are not playing in a good way as we have examples of such series, in the recent test matches, these both players has not made the good innings while in August when they had a series against Sri Lanka in one day matches there was not any surprising thing that was produced by them in that series too.

My guess is New Zealand team to take a lead of at least 300+ runs.
Don't know why but I am still hoping the Indian team may come back and the reason for this is that we have seen in the last series of India, they did very good comeback after the first innings, At the time same condition was there for the Indian team.
India was losing their wickets in the first innings but later in the 8th wicket, they grabbed the game and this time they failed to stay on the wicket but I think in the next innings, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will make a great century individually and not only these two players, I am looking that the full India team will perform like their prime 2016. Let's see.

It's an instance of realization for the Indian team that they do have competition and they need to focus on performing on every matches and on every sectors. Even though it's an entirely different team than what played with Bangladesh, this one is the proper team. The way they played is much different. Holding wickets is the key in test matches but they failed to do so.
Except one all of the wickets of India were caught out and only one of it was caught by the keeper. Which means 8 of the wickets were due to wrong shots. No doubt the bowling was impressive but if the Indian batters had defended those 8 balls in proper way, they would have not lost the wickets. One innings of one test doesn't decide anything but the records set are going to be there forever.

It was a bad day for the Indian team and they would want to forget it as soon as possible.
I think that Rishabh Pant could have played a good innings and may able to set the game meanwhile he could let the game in the favour of India but the problem was that he came to bat at that time when the whole team was losing wickets, That caused pressure on him and he was out too, he was the only player in the team who scored 20. By the way, also have to give credit to Jaiswal because he was also trying to do good for the team but due to pressure, he was out. I think if Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant would have played together then maybe these players could have stabilized the game by making a great partnership.
I was completely surprised by India's first innings performance in the Test match between India and New Zealand. A few days ago, this team whitewashed them with a great performance against Bangladesh and won the series, now they are performing badly against New Zealand. Indians set yet another new record by being bowled out for short runs in the first innings of the first Test in Bengaluru, becoming the first Asian nation to be bowled out for just 46 runs on Asian soil. In a match held at the Oval Stadium in Adelaide in 2020, the Indian team was bowled out for just 36 runs by Australia. In a similar fashion this year too they were bowled out for just 46 runs by New Zealand at their home ground.
One of the examples of the batting failure of the Indian batsmen is these five batsmen, experienced batsman Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. All these five batsmen were dismissed for zero runs and returned to the pavilion leaving their team in shambles. Moreover, the condition of all the other batsmen is the same, Rishabh Pant is the only Indian batsman to reach double figures.

New Zealand is going in for the kill, but don't rule out the Indians just yet because they could push this one to a draw thanks to the firepower that they have. Pujara could have been useful in this particular test.
On the other hand, Pakistan looks like they might take the second test as long as they don't mess up which they have been doing on a regular basis these days.

Just checked England vs Pakistan, and Pakistan have done same poor batting in second innings as they did in 1st test, could have been worse for Pakistan had Root did not drop Salman at 6 runs as he went on to make 63. Kamran didn't make any milestone today, but he looked good in his little inning.
Match is getting interesting as Crawley and Duckett out already, I'd say 60/40 chances for England and Pakistan respectively.

The pitch is not in favor of the batsmen in today's game as wickets are falling fast. As both Pakistan and England teams scored huge runs in the first match, although Pakistan team lost but every batsman performed well. But coming to this second test match, Pakistan team has given a target of 366 runs which is a small collection for a test match, but England team has collected 246 runs for 6 wickets in 56 overs. Thus, if the England players continue to lose wickets, then there is a high probability of losing the first innings of this second match, as Duckett scored 114 runs from 129 balls, which was the best performance of the match among the top order batsmen.
He has only shown patience but let's see till the end of this match how long the partnership of these two batsmen Jamie Smith and Brydon carse can last and we have to wait for whether they can decide the win of this match.

The Pakistan team had a got a good lead of 296 runs that New Zealand had to chase and some of the runs New Zealand had chased already. They have lost two wickets for 36 runs. It is the last innings meanwhile the result waiting, with no chance of a draw. There are more chances for the Pakistan team as in the last innings, Sajid Khan and Noman Ali bowled very well.
Pakistan would want the same type of rhythm of bowling by them once again then Pakistan would win their first matches after a long time. What do you think will Pakistan make it or once again lose the chance, I think they will make it this time because they are bowling last in this test.
I was disappointed after seeing the first game between Pakistan and England where Pakistan made 556 and still lost the game that is why I was not very interested in this game and when I heard that at the start of the first innings, Abdullah was out then I thought Pakistan going to lose again but when I saw score recently I was really surprised.
Sajid Khan did wonderful bowling. Now I am glad that Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi are not in the team. That is superb. The Pakistan team is going to win this game as they bowled. The New Zealand second innings have started and Pakistan is having good lead.
The venue is more comfortable for the Indian squad. This had caused overconfidence, and they might've misunderstood New Zealand as Bangladesh. Here it is the performance of New Zealand bowlers that made India players unable to face them. Because one or the other should have performed, here almost every player faced the same and was unable to stand against the bowling of Matt Henry and Will O'Rourke. Let's see whether India can do something better in the second innings. As the first day of the match ended without a ball being bowled, there are chances of the match ending in a draw depending on the performance of Indian bowlers in the upcoming days.
India has broken their own record, if you remember some years before the Indian team had a series of test matches against Australia and there the full Indian team were all out on 36 runs that creating a history. And now today another such history has been created in the match between India and New Zealand. By the way, such an incredible bowling by the New Zealand team.
Previously, they were just suffering from the loss of the two test games against Sri Lanka but now I think they are back in order as they played today, their batting is also looking good. I hope they will retain this lead as we know that the Indian team have a tendency to come back in the game from any situation.
