Wonder what people are making of this game. I am thinking that a small back of NZ and a lay of the draw may be the way to go. I see that the prices for this game are a lot closer than game one where here India are the favourites just. I do not think their last performance justifies that. However it looks like Ross Taylor will be out for NZ (his wife is about to drop; a baby) and he will be a big loss. Talk either Tom Latham and or Martin Guptill to fill his boots. Should be an interesting game nevertheless.

can you imagine if it was Aus v Eng?
An Englishman would have walked since it is a gentlemans game.

And the sporting Aus would withdraw the appeal!

Dont talk to me about Gilly!
All very well walking but appealing when you know it is not out is just as bad!

what would Injera's son do?
Did we get the answer last summer? I think he would have waited for the Umpire's decision.
the modern style with respect has really come to stay! more's the pity!

Exactly. The sport is so contradictory.
I got enough shocking decisions in my time playing, that I'd gladly accept one or two that went for me.
about not walking i mean!
I think the pro's play a different game to us

Yeah. They do. Try playing some of the Bradford leagues. You and the umpires are nigh on bullied into walking/giving decisions.

Lol. I'm watching on my paid-for Sky!
I nearly punched someone for calling me a cheat. i was convinced it was a bump ball and didn't walk. then the comments started from behind the stumps and I got really angry. someone bowled a half tracker which i missed as i wanted to put it onto the road but it was dead straight and stayed low, lbw. Not happy but I never lost my temper after that.

if kholi know he edge the ball he should walk, and he is cheat
i think if you've been on the end of a few poor decisions as a batsman , then you're less likely to walk as your career progresses

I don't like all that banter. If i want to be insulted i could stay at home and if i want a fight i could have gone to some of my local pubs. I played the gentleman's game. generally most do. League cricket is a different animal. I like to win too but cheating is not winning in my book and verbals is like cheating to me. i am too soft i guess. Wouldn't have made the northern leagues for sure! or if I did i would have got beaten up a lot! i had some lip when i was younger but never been good at fighting!

I once had the near opposite. I caught and bowled somebody and walked straight back to my mark to bowl the next ball. I never realised he'd hit the ball into his own foot, so though I never appealed, my captain did. Was about the unluckiest dismissal I've seen.

So would you call "not walking" cheating? And would it differ if you thought you hit it but not sure, or you know you definitely hit it.
Gavaskar hit the nail on the head 'batsman are now getting smarter, they are not turning their head once they know they have hit the ball' . So in a way it gives the impression they have not nicked it (showing a good poker face)
Mind you Im not a Poker player, not into casino games either
I think the game is different now. Injera had a talk with his son and his son said that after he considered all options he wouldn't walk. I just made the decision that if i knew I hit it I would walk.
I would call not walking cheating but am not precious about it anymore. Some do some don't. I just get annoyed when non walkers complain about bad decisions and also complain when others dont walk. Like when an Aussie complains about Broad not walking it doesn't make me laugh it makes me mad

i wouldn't call 'not walking' cheating ....maybe not in the spirit of the game , but if the umpire doesn't raise the finger , what to do ?
That makes a lot of sense. I think that's why I didn't walk. I got some bad decisions very early when I played and realised sometimes you get it your way, sometimes you don't. It wasn't something I did purposefully, but merely out of self-protection.
If I was not sure I wouldn't walk. Once i didn't walk when i knicked it to second. I was like spaced as i couldn't believe i knicked it. i didn't feel it but i heard the sound loud and it went to second but the umpire gave me out and saved me from embarassing myself!
the problem with not walking is some people can't handle it and they are usually the ones that don't walk!
so what happened when you didn't walk nicky?

India play well in Asia only but no good in Australia, NZ, South Africa and England. Maybe they need to prepare more bouncier type wickets back home in India to get them up to speed with other teams, its been like that for 30+ years.
4-0 and a 1-0 loss is a very poor result against new zealand
Was just about to say this game is heading for a draw and TIMBER!
If India are 4 down at tea, then NZ will feel like they are in with a sniff

I can answer that one for you. As i have stated before when i was eleven I thumbed a bouncer while trying to hook and it went straight to the keeper. they appealed and the umpire said not out. i said to the umpire " but i hit it Sir " and he said loudly " not out! " so i stayed at the crease.
After the match the teacher / umpire took me aside and said either i walked or i left it to the umpire to adjudicate. he said to me he didn't care either way but it was one or the other. He had no moral problem with me not walking but unlike Injera's son from that day on i decided i was a walker.
We still have a game on here!

I cant work out why anyone in this situation would want to back the draw at 1.13.
But 1 more wicket and NZ will keep on going. I just wouldnt for the payoff.
Just like the INdian backers at 600, but at least you get some value for money. Im not laying that mind, but backing short odds for me is the way to the poor house and I just do not do it.
me neither but obviously people lump and to make a quick few hundred quid
yeah far too stressfull. Just look at this game, plenty to be made laying short odds, not backing them
don't get me wrong, I think the draw is pretty much nailed on, just not going to put any money on it. Anything below 1.30 I am loath to back unless I percieve it to be huge value.
Every outcome has its price. I don't mind backing short odds/laying long odds, but I won't do it with so long left of a match just like was matched in this match.
southee claiming that is nearly as bad as kohli not walking
NZ really need 1 more wicket before Tea here.........id give them every chance to knock remaining 6 after tea here
Yep if NZ can have India 4 down, and preferably Kholi, they will really think they have a chance
new zealand should have declared 10 overs earlier instead of wagner block 30 balls and doing nothing fact
its worth remembering that if both captains agree a draw they can shake hands with an hour to go , i remember that happened once in england for a test match and there was plenty of 1.02 and 1.01 to mop up

They were only interested in NZ's record Test score.
Talking of mopping up. India need nigh-on 10 an over for the best part of 350 runs. Never, ever happening. Still money backing them though.
Nicky, they can also stop at tea, but they need the match ref to be in on it.
mcullum wont stop to early the man has pride in his leadership you know
well at Tea there will be still 36.0 overs left in the match. So, if what you guys are saying are right, the 'handshake' can occur 1 hour into the Tea session, is that right? Tea is usually 2 hours, with an allowance of 30 minutes to squeeze all the overs in
They won't stop at tea but if the captains want to and the match referee agrees they can stop after this Boult over.
the hand shake with an hour to go usually only happens when say ( in this situation ) india were only 1 down and chasing a notional target that's impossible to get with the remaining overs
I layed aus at 1.3 just to get out of the game with a small green even though i was pretty sure they would win. I just escaped from losing after backing SA then the draw first so was happy to live another day. This comeback is something special even if the pitch was ok. very rare but just shows the risk of low odds backing. ttese guys who do it must have plenty of money because it is usually easy money. we are just too poor to take advantage of it!
But if at say 5pm (NZ time) and India are 150/3 both captains can shake hands and that would be it. No match ref required then.
Hours of play (local time) 11am start, Lunch 13.00-13.40, Tea 15.40-16.00, Close 18.00
yeah , exactly , its nothing to do with the umpires when there's an hour to go, its a captains agreement
can't see the one hour hand shake yet. the game can change quickly in the last session of a five day test but a win is still unlikely for NZ
OK so I think there will be at least 1 hour of play left in this game still........(which is around 13-14 overs out of the 36)
kiwis will play on , even if these 2 are still there with an hour to go , they'd be mad not to , but i've seen it happen before ,unexpectedly
australia pick up 6 wickets on last session of test match against sri lanka like 2 years ago funny thing happen
But the more wickets NZ can take in that first hour after tea, the more likely NZ will want to stay on the field
think NZ will want to say on the field if they can get 2 wickets in the 1st hour after tea

That was on a very difficult pitch where the ball was going through the top. Also Aus had a new ball that finished SL off
Id be surprised if all 36 overs are bowled tonight
NZ don't have any specialist spin bowlers to bowl all of those 36 overs in 2.5 hours & of course the 'hand shake' opportunity may arise after the first hour
Best play for me here is to Back NZ @ 16, and probably hope to trade off around 7.00
and look to get a split profit of 125% for either outcome
Asunder = to separate into pieces . My new word of the day
English language is hard....so many new things to learn, to read, its such a rich language, Im beginning to appreciate more and more everyday. I mean I speak English fairly well, but I sometimes struggle with things like poems, poetry, understand the technical conventions/techniques of writing but all I can is I'm looking to improve.
You have to be good at English in order to get a good job, if you can't communicate or write to a professional level you won't get hired here in Australia
Its an Asian language but I was born here in Perth, I went to a school with a lot of Chinese and Indian students , not an elite private school/selective school here....so the standards are a bit lower
If I had the money in my bank, I'd lay the lot of the money trying to back India and stick at least half of it on New Zealand hoping they split asunder the Indian batsmen.
Well. That would have been shortlived. All that money now taken!

I only spk one asian language, not easy with the different alphabets to learn
who is backing India at 1000? I just put up 10 and it got taken. I know what I said about backing short odds, but India should be at 10,000
the only way India can win this is if they lose a wicket or 2 in the next 5 overs otherwise captains will shake hands. But if they do lose wickets..... less chance for the runs required.
Anderson to RG Sharma, no run, around the wicket again, full and wide outside off. Left alone. "Enough," asks BMac and enough it is. The match has been called a draw
what odds on new zeeland and the draw after 3 out and the dropped catch?
