Sure our bowlers weren't able to take 20wickets in the last test, but India weren't able to either. infact we actually took 14wickets, Which was 5 more wickets than India managed, Although that was due to us enforcing the follow on.
I realise India are the far better side on paper.
I agree that our bowling attack is mediocre and it will take something special to draw the series |

| Insider its the bowling that is our main problem,the Indians love spinners and our spinners have not been that flash for some time now,Daniel bowls tightly but have not been taking a significant amounts of wickets for some time now,against the Aussies just before this series or the Indians,our medium bowlers have me worried also,here is hoping though. |

Totally, India are favourites for sure. Miracles the word.
obviously we want the win over all else, but I reckon it's pretty cool seeing NZ batsmen scoring 100s.
The test skill level gap between NZ and India is such that we can lose a game to India whilst making improvements. I know that mite sound a little odd, but I believe it's the truth.
I hope like hell the Black Caps can somehow win the final test starting tomorrow. I am a realist though, So I'll be happy if we can simply continue to improve and become more consistent |

| Yip it will come down to our bowlers and how well they bowl. I think our batters although still young are proving to be a good asset. |

| ambrose when last have our spinners been in the forefront ? Vettori bowls a very tight line and do not go for many runs but when last has he taken a significant amount of wickets,its not good for the kiwis me thinks.Our medium fast bowlers are only average,but Ambrose,best of luck to them all. |

I reckon Black caps will win they have to, it doesn't matter if the whole team gets below 100 runs all that matters is that they win. Draw or a loss is not an option right now.
It doesn't matter if all the black caps smash every record, what matters is we draw this series, the indians are already arrogant enough with how we have been unable to beat them in a test. Interesting how they might be taking out Patel for the last test..... what are they thinking, seriously........ two spinners are better then one? |

What does everyone reckon ?
Whose gona win ?
Can we take it to day 5 ?
Whose gona score the tons for the kiwis this time ?
Can Jessie Ryder improve on his brilliant average of 64+ and bring up another ton ?
If he can he'll probably be braking all sorts of records again |

Weather for the third and final test in Wellington looks pretty good.
Starting on Friday - sunny
Saturday - sunny but windy
Sunday - sunny but windy
Monday - sunny
Tuesday - scattered showers, 30% chances of rain
So fingers crossed we get a full five days like test 2.
Mind you we all know the weather is quite unpredictable
4 seasons in 1 day alright.
Anyhow good luck the Black Caps, Go hard! and take this test to day five just like the last |
