India vs New Zealand 3rd Test Highlights Day 3
Watch cricket highlights – Day 3 – India vs New Zealand 3rd Test highlights from Wellington.
Scoreline: (midway through post-lunch session) – India 349/5 – Gautham Gambhir hundred 167, Rahul Dravid 60, VVS Laxman 61. India lead by 531 runs.
The famed Indian batting lineup on display yet again. For NZ, the real bright moment was Brendon McCullum’s catch of Rahul Dravid (detailed version). Dravid took 22 balls to add to his overnight score of 9, but after that played quite beautifully before that crazy moment snuck his wicket away.
When Gautham Gambhir first seriously came into the Indian cricket team, it was in the T20 and ODI formats. At that time, he went through this incredibly lucky and streaky phase and I like many dismissed him as being plain lucky and not to be compared with another left-hander – Sourav Ganguly – whose place he’d taken in ODI cricket. But the past year and a half have been so brilliant for Gambhir that a lot of India’s success in test cricket has stemmed from his ridiculous partnership with Sehwag at the top. Remember all those years when Dravid was a virtual opener and Tendulkar for over 18 years walked in at 20/2. And now, another series goes by with Gambhir stamping himself all over it. Super.
And of course, VVS continues to improve his record against teams other than Australia.
Just saw a statistic – this series is Gambhir’s fourth 300+runs-in-a-series in a row – the only Indian to have done this ever.

India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Highlights Day 3
Watch cricket highlights – India vs New Zealand – Day 3 highlights from the 2nd Napier Test.
Scoreline: India 305 all out – VVS Laxman 76, Rahul Dravid 83, Sachin Tendulkar 49. India follow on and were 47/1.
India resumed today with Dravid and Tendulkar bearing the cumbersome onus of battling out a draw for India.Tendulkar was divine while he was at it – Dravid was semi-vintage in patches and scrappy in others – that was still good enough to get him 83. But the best batting of the day came from VVS who pulled out all his flicks and drives.
The good thing though India ended up following on was that everyone looked pretty intent on getting on with the game and not stepping into that resigned tortured mode we’ve seen so often over the years.
Some of the NZ commentators described Sehwag’s dismissal as arrogant but it’s that sort of game that set up the recent famous win over England at Chennai. If it hadn’t come off that day he’d have looked dumb. But since it did, he was given the Man of the Match despite Tendulkar’s hundred that won the game on Day 5.
It’s still a little too early to describe this test as being gone from India’s point of view – the follow on might actually work to their advantage.
