Struggling Mills hopes for a turnaround

When India came to New Zealand, the hosts were desperate to get the injured Kyle Mills back. He was their best and most experienced new-ball operator then

Munaf responds to captain's call

If Munaf Patel goes through the series with the same intensity and results, the final block of this largely settled team could fall into place

Moles promises sterner test for India in Napier

Andy Moles, New Zealand's coach, has vowed that in Napier India will face "a lot sterner examination than they did in the first Test match"

Ruthless Dhoni eyes series win

In the end it didn't seem like it had been 33 years in coming. The Indian team hadn't lined up at the picket fence waiting for the winning runs nor did they rush onto the field to soak up what they hadn't experienced on several previous tours - a Test win

Turning it on, Harbhajan style

One of the criticisms that Harbhajan Singh has had to live with is his performance overseas. After all, how many times had he won India a Test outside the subcontinent? One has to strain the mind to think of such instances.

We have been outplayed - Moles

Andy Moles, the New Zealand coach, was not a happy man after his team had looked dispirited throughout the third day and faced a strong possibility of going down 1-0 in the series

Sachin evokes his prime

Bring back Shane Warne, Shaun Pollock and Wasim Akram because we have a conundrum here that only they can solve. The way Sachin Tendulkar has batted on this tour, and in the matches leading up to it, it seems he has hit the kind of patch he did in the mid

Tendulkar's catch attracts controversy

We've got our noses ahead - Dravid

Rahul Dravid has carried his form from the Mohali Test before Christmas and the Indian domestic season on to New Zealand. He put India on the right track before missing out on what could have been his fifth century in his last seven first-class matches

19-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Hamilton

A slow yet absorbing day

India scored only 249 runs and lost only four wickets. But what the second day lacked in drama, it made up in intensity

'We stuck to how we both know to play' - Vettori

Daniel Vettori can be an irritating tailender, robbing the game of all its momentum, playing little dab shots, with soft hands, and taking single after single. But he isn't. He gets to play very little for Northern Districts, his state side, given his int

Wish you were here

It was an exhilarating day's play. Six wickets in the first session, followed by two superb centuries, a good comeback by the bowling side and a blazing start by the visitors

The drama around Ryder's maiden century

The hapless Chris Martin came in to bat with five balls to go in the Harbhajan over, with Ryder looking on from the non-striker's end, two short of a maiden Test century.

New Zealand take no passengers

Plays of the Day from the first day of the Hamilton Test between New Zealand and India from March 18 to 22, 2009

18-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Hamilton

Dangerous underdogs

A tough series will maintain the credibility of New Zealand's Test side, a win will set them forward by leaps, but they can't afford to get outplayed

17-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Hamilton

Buoyant India unfazed by dismal record

They may not have a Test win in New Zealand since 1976 but India are focused on winning the series instead of worrying about past performances

17-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Hamilton

The Tests are here

The first thing Daniel Vettori did upon arriving at Seddon Park, two days before the first Test, was to have a look at the pitch. He inspected it for a good five to ten minutes and then chatted with the curator Karl Johnson

A tale of two comebacks

If the two teams needed any motivation before the start of the Tests, it has arrived in the form of L Balaji and James Franklin
