Match State: India win by 8 wickets
Gandhi and Tendulkar doing well to prevent any chances of a
spectacular NZ comeback
New Zealand were in the hunt for days 1 and 2 and an hour before
day 3 ended, Kumble's 3 strrikes yesterday really hurt them
Not really in the hunt, you could say they werent out of the game.
Stay on for the presentation ceremony
NZ's top order failed twice in the game and that really was the
factor
So we speculate on who the man of the match will be. Gandhi ?
Kumble ?
Yet another test gets a result in within 5 days
Fleming comes up
We had a good opportunity after winning the toss, we lost the
opportunity in the 1st innings
We fought very hard in India;'s innings but again were at 17/3
The lower order has had to do far too much work, India has had some
good opening partnerships and thats what we should do too
Vettori and Wiseman bowled well and put India under pressure
The cheers go up as Tendulkar walks up, his 4th win as captain, 1st
in his 2nd stint, 1st win after 5 draws as captain
I congratulate all the team members
Anil, Srinath, Saurav bowled very well, Anil in the 2nd innings
Devang and Ramesh batted very well early on, Rahul batted well and
solidly and then Joshi later on
We should have got at least 450 in the 1st knock and got them for
< 150
The Man of the match, the TWI commentary team, the 10fer man, Anil
Kumble
Good to get past the 250 mark
59.4-17-134-10
I'm happy that everything went off well, the first innings the
batsmen did very well
Srinath, Joshi, Harbhajan bowled very well in the 1st innings while
in the 2nd Joshi and Harbhajan bowloed well
This was a 2 paced wicket, few spots, they create doubts in the
batsman's mind
We didnt get wickets from any of the spots though
I knew if we got a wicket yesterday evening with the light
deteriorating, we could put a lot of pressure
So thats it from us at CricInfo. Join us on 29 October for the
final test at Ahmedabad, 1000 IST (0430 GMT)
India lead the series 1-0
