Morning and mid day... Change in fortunes

The first day of the first test between India and Newzeland produced one of the best display of a sporting pitch and a great fight back ever. Mahi won the toss and chose to field first only for a reason that it might help the seamers in the first hour or so and so it did. 61/6 is what the score was when players went for lunch the indian quicks have removed the top order batsmen for just a score of 61 during lunch mainly because of the assistance the pitch provided for a while, and the conditions where used very well by the team. this is the reason why this time around the Kiwi's did think about a green top wicket in front of the indians. this team will strive in green top pitches for sure. best examples are the loss teams like England and Australia had in their own back yards. 

but after lunch it was the time for the brave to show off their grit and persistance. the kiwi captain victory and ryder put one of the best stance we would see in the test cricket for sure. Victory who is a lower middle order batsman showed a lot of fighters insting and attacked the indian bowlers with the attacking and more dangerous Ryder played a composed test match innings which showed his skill and tallent in display proving he is a asset to the Kiwi's and a future prospect. one could not realise their eye when the captain reached the ton first before he got an under edge from a munaf delivery, and the next ball he cleaned up mills for a duck. the stance between Danial and  Ryder was the best 7th wicket parternership stance against india. fianlly india cleaned up but it was really a tens and rib tickling to see Martin face baji with Ryder standing on the non sticker side on a score of 98. the following over he scored a four off ishant to reach his maiden test ton and perished the following ball trying send the ball out of the ground.

Walked in Viru and Gautham, the usual parterners in crime for india. Both played few nice looking shoots and end of the day the score stood as 279 all out NZ and 29/0 India.

the days play saw both the extrimes for sure, one session 6 wickets fell and then a good batting performance by the Kiwi's. A score of 279 only with 2 centurians in the team shows a lot about what a great test playing day it was..
