yes it was very disappointing the way the match ended in a draw. But what can one do if that was what the rain gods had in mind for the indian team. And as a whole it was one of the best days for indian cricket as the team managed to win a tes series in new zealand after 41 long years especially after the drubbing they got when they last toured neew zealand this was a very pleasant result to say the least. And the whole tour was very good as india managed to win the odi series as well.

It was one of the worst decisions from MSD as a captain.Rain was forecast for the final day & even after knowing that he should not have carried on the Indian batting in the second innings.I think 450 was a good enough target for the Kiwis as all know that its impossible to chase that much score on a fourth innings of a Test match.
MSD wanted to shopw to the world that he won the series against New Zealand after 41 years.He did not want to give a chance to the Kiwis to win & level the series 1-1.But overall a bad decision by MSD not to declare the Indian second innings early.

The fact that India has already won the series is some solace to us fans…winning it 2-0 would no doubt have been much better. Yes, the weather gods don’t seem to favour India much. This brings to my mind the Champions Trophy (I think) played in Sri Lanka…the final was played for three days and on all the days it rained so India had to share the winner’s trophy.

Its really disappointing to watch India not winning the third test. The final day play which has got interrupted because of rain have ruined all the joy. But we all know cricket is the game of uncertainity. But I give an ovation to the Indian cricket for their fabulous performance against Kiwis. After all they have registered a historic series victory after a long span of 41 years...

well my opinion is that it was sad yesterday when we didnt declare and kept on and on knowing fully well what the weather forecast is for tomorrow.. it is we indians safety first attitude that has let us down so many times.. do u seriously think we needed this big a lead in second inning. This is really shameful and that is why Australia and South Africa would and should always be ranked above us.
