I think we want to not let them run to stay in the game – Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma also talked about making a comeback in the game. He said that if they want to be at the top again, they should prevent the opponent from scoring a big goal. He admitted that even though New Zealand are scoring runs, they want to restrict them as little as possible.
Rohit also said that the surface of the door is a little collapsed. He also admitted that they need to make a big effort with the bat to get out of the game. Giving a statement to journalists, he explained them as follows:
“I think we want to not let them get away so we can stay in the game,” he said. “(They scored) Lots of runs, obviously they’re 180, which is about 140 runs (134), so (keeping them) as low as possible.
“The wicket seems to be settling down a little bit, so that’s how we expect the pitch to play. We’ve got to hit big in the second and try to see if we can make a game out of it.”
A very memorable day for India – Harsha Bhogle
Noted commentator Harsha Bhogle gave his verdict on a bad day for the Indian National Cricket Team. He felt it was a forgettable day for the hosts as getting all out for 46 is unacceptable.
He added that the game was in New Zealand’s favor and that the Kiwis played with great spirit and great skill. He made a statement on his Twitter account:
“A very memorable day for India. As difficult as the conditions were, they will be the first to admit that 46 was unacceptable. If they don’t get off to a dramatic start tomorrow, this match will be in New Zealand’s corner. And well deserved for NZ, they were great they played with spirit and great skill.”
Big unforgettable day for India. They will be the first to admit that 46 is unacceptable, no matter how difficult the conditions. Barring a dramatic start when play kicks off tomorrow, this match is in New Zealand’s corner. Decent for New Zealand too, they played great…
