It is important to remember, however, that only half the story has been written, if even that. Now New Zealand have to come out and bat in conditions that are largely the same. In fact, the big boots of Henry and O’Rourke have created some big and dark footmarks right in the areas the Indian spinners will like, especially for the left-handers and New Zealand have got three of those in their top-order. If India can hit the right areas, the conditions are definitely there to aid them too.
13:17 Local Time, 07:47 GMT, 13:17 IST: Well, what can we say, it has been a shambolic display from India. It isn’t quite 36 but it’ll feel just as bad. To think India have been bundled out for just 46 in their own backyard that too after electing to bat first is quite staggering. New Zealand didn’t set a foot wrong. They got helpful conditions and made use of them to perfection. The lines and lengths they bowled were immaculate, they didn’t try too hard and let the ball and the surface take care of all the business. They backed it up with some excellent catching too and the one simple chance that Blundell put down hardly mattered. India looked flustered and unprepared for something like this. Some of the shot selection was poor and while conditions were admittedly extremely difficult for batting, they had only themselves to blame for at least half of all the wickets. They didn’t show the application required on such tracks and looked to hit their way out which clearly didn’t work.
