India vs New Zealand, at Chennai, , Feb 16 2011 - Match Result

That's it from us then. Keep tuning in as the tournament gets underway for all the coverage. Till then on behalf of my colleagues Sriram Veera, Nitin Sundar and Sanjay Murari, this is Abhishek Purohit signing off. Cheers!

Dhoni: "Difficult wicket to rotate strike. We have hitters down the order, and were able to achieve a total that was above par on this track. In the past few games I have been in a hurry, but my game is different. I take my time, and then like to stay till the end for the slog overs. You have got to remind yourself of your strengths. Good to see most of the batsmen getting runs. Crucial for the part-time spinners to bowl well when you go with only four bowlers. We have asked our seamers to not go all out, and save themselves for the main games. May be that is what is reflecting in their performances. But hopefully, they will do well once the tournament starts."

Ross Taylor: "Got to give credit to Dhoni, he took the game away from us. We got a good start but need to work on some things. Spinners are going to be a big part of the World Cup, and we have got to improve against them. We haven't played well over the last 6-7 months. Our game against Kenya will be at the same ground, and will be a day game, so hopefully we can do well."

kamal: "You have to adjust either Sree's stare or Nehra's smile... Nevertheless both will leak a lot of runs... Both together would be the worst thing.."

kgopinath: "i think indian bowling selection becomes easier after watching the seamers getting whipped around.."

India win their second warm-up game. Bowling worries for New Zealand. And some in batting too. For India, Dhoni hit a furious hundred, and Gambhir and Raina hit fifties. The spinners dominated but the seamers continued to disappoint.

Hang on for quotes from the post-match ceremony.
