India_New Zealand Test-Series

So whack whack form of Cricket is over and now its turn of more serious, patient form of the game i.e Test Cricket. So far India's tour of New-Zealand is mixture of both success and failure. India lost both T-20 matches and being the world champions that a bit of shame but recovered in a brilliant way to win the ODI series. India outplayed New-Zealand in all departments of the game and won the series despite a consolation win for the hosts in the dead rubber and created history by winning first ever ODI series in New-Zealand. India's earlier failure in New-Zealand were mostly due to the failure of their batsman but this time they just show their strength in the batting department.Sehwag was devastating and so as others. This is arguably the best batting line-up in the world right now.

But now its the time to switch to the more patience form of cricket. In this form experience matters more than anything and Team India had plenty of that. The trio of Sachin, Dravid and Laxman along with Sehwag, Gambhir Dhoni and Yuvraj will try to put as much runs as they can on the board to give a chance to the bowlers. In bowling department India too have plenty of experience with Zaheer leading the fast bowling department along with Ishant and Harbhajan in the spin department could be equally effective. New-Zealand too is a good side and they too have some class in both departments. With likes of Brendon Mcullum, Ross Taylor, Jesse Ryder they have a strong batting line up and in Daniel Vettori they have the world's best left arm spinner. So its almost a equal fight(Hoping for comfortable India's win though).Hope you all will enjoy the series and get disturbed in the early morning as the match will start at 3:30(IST).

Cheers!!!
