If it is not your day, it is likely it wont be your evening either. On the first day of the Kolkata Test, New Zealand woke up to the news that Kane Williamsons illness had not subsided, and that he was not going to play. Some fans might have thought a new captain might at least win the toss. The new captain, Ross Taylor, thought he had, but reality struck immediately. Match referee David Boon told him Virat Kohli had. It was a commemorative coin, Taylor said suggesting he didnt quite get the head and tail on the coin right. Thought Id won it. Then Boonie said Kohli had won.For a while it did seem like a good toss to lose as the bowlers picked up early wickets, but once the Indian lower order took them across 300, it was always going to be a losing battle for New Zealand. The toss here didnt play that big a part, though. Taylor agreed. [Would have been] nice to bat first but dont think that wouldve had made too much difference, Taylor said. They put us under pressure at times, and we werent able to sustain it with the bat.Indias first-innings score gave them a 112-run lead, which meant New Zealand couldnt afford to attack for too long even when they had India down at 43 for 4 and 106 for 6 in the second innings. Id hark back to being 100 runs behind in that first innings, Taylor said when asked of a third straight failure to run through Indias tail. In hindsight it would have been nice to score a few more runs and if India were 3 for 40 and their lead wasnt as much. Any time you are playing catch up from that far behind, there is a lot of what-ifs.We could go through every session. At the end of the day we were beaten by a better side. Our pacemen were definitely positive and even the way [Mitchell] Santner and Jeets [Jeetan Patel] bowled. Jeets coming in, wasnt easy [for him] after only being in the country for a day and a half. To bowl as well as he did in that first innings and score some valuable runs, [without which] we could have been even further behind the eight ball. Yes we are disappointed, weve got to take the positives and hopefully we can play better in the next match.One of the positives was their bowling, which improved from Kanpur. The bowlers fought throughout and thats something we can take to Indore, Taylor said. It was pretty hot and humid out there. I liked the way they kept trucking in asking for the ball and the hostility they bowled with sometimes. Were seen as a friendly team and still are, but as a fast bowler you need a bit of mongrel. So for Henners [Matt Henry], who hasnt played for a while, to come and get six wickets on that wicket was good. Were still fizzing to go for Indore, hopefully we can play some fear-free cricket to put India under pressure.Taylor rued not being competitive for long enough. Winning key moments was important, Taylor said. The way Saha came out in both innings when the game was in balance, those two fifties put us on the back foot. Rohits innings was outstanding but full credit to our bowlers running in. A similar wicket would be good and hopefully Kane can win the toss.There was at least that bit of good news for New Zealand. Williamson came to Eden Gardens on the fourth day, and has shown signs he might be ready for the Indore Test, which begins on Saturday. Anytime you have your skipper and best player out it is disappointing, Taylor said, but there has been times when Kane hasnt played one-day internationals and this probably isnt going to be the last time, with injuries; the team has to step up.We cant rely on Kane all the time. It was good to see him walking about [today]. Im sure hell be a bit lethargic over the next couple of days; its still pretty tiring losing a few kilos and being stuck inside. But there are positive signs hell be ready for the next match, and it will obviously be good for the team to have our skipper back.Losing a few kilos is not just Williamsons concern. He might have been down with fever, but the others have never played Test cricket in such heat and humidity. These are some of the earliest Tests in an India season. The summer temperatures have hardly started to go down. It has taken a toll on New Zealand, which can partly explain some of their failures to get the tail out.Definitely up with hottest test series Ive been part of, Taylor said. A lot of their bowlers and batsmen were tired too. Pretty hot and humid. [In an] ideal world, [we would] send players [early] and get exposure. Comes down to funding but lucky some players come into IPL who mix and mingle with the stars of today to get knowledge.Kohli says its cooler in Indore so Im happy.

Air Max 95 Cheap Free Shipping .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Karnataka 414 (Gautam 63*, Agarwal 56, Nair 53, Samarth 53, Sood 4-80) beat Delhi 90 (Aravind 4-12, Gowtham 3-26) and 164 (Sood 41*, Gowtham 5-35) by an innings and 160 runsScorecardDelhis coach KP Bhaskar lamented how batsmen these days, particularly in domestic cricket, undermined the use of technique in search of flexibility. Back in our days, technique was most important. Then came potential, and fitness was third. Today, technique has gone to number three. On Saturday, the third day in Kolkata, his batsmen did not do much to disprove that theory as Karnataka won by an innings and 160 runs to walk away with seven points. That Delhi were nearly bowled out twice in under a session each time, even as Karnataka stacked up 414 showed the Eden Gardens surface was not to blame for the batting debacle. This was a classic case of what Daljit Singh, BCCIs chief curator, termed the middle wicket that assisted seamers early on, eased out for batsmen to make merry and then took turn. By being bowled out for 90 in the first innings, Delhi did not give themselves a chance to make best use of the surface, where as many as five Karnataka batsmen made half-centuries.If it was S Aravind, who ran through Delhis line-up in a fine exhibition of seam bowling in the first innings, offspinner K Gowtham, playing in only his second first-class game in nearly four years, did the bulk of the damage on Saturday. That he had the luxury of attacking fields helped him lure the batsmen repeatedly with flight. And batsmen fell into the trap of trying to break free. The end result was a maiden five-wicket haul.After a failure in the first innings, this was an oopportunity for Gautam Gambhir to knuckle down and bat long.dddddddddddd If match time was what he wanted, he could not have asked for a better challenge. Abhimanyu Mithun, darting the ball both ways, and Aravind, coming off a four-for in the first innings, tested Gambhirs front-foot play. But three plays and misses later, he poked at an away-going delivery that was gobbled at second slip by Robin Uthappa. Mithun had two in two when he got a ball to deviate late to square up Dhruv Shorey and hit the top of off stump.Nitish Rana held fort briefly for 28 runs, but was foxed by a straighter one from Gowtham. Delhis lack of application and match awareness increasingly became visible when Rishabh Pant, coming off a triple-century in the previous game against Maharashtra in Mumbai, started with a six, but fell soon after when he was sucked into a drive that carried to second slip. Unmukt Chand, the vice-captain, tried to fetch a slog sweep from outside off, only to top-edge to Karun Nair at first slip. At 94 for 7, there was a possibility of the match finishing before lunch.That they just managed to stretch it beyond was largely due to Karnataka switching off briefly as the interval approached. It took them little over 10 overs into the second session to wrap up the match, when Aravind, quite fittingly, had the final wicket when the ball beat Pawan Suyals slog to send the off stump on a cartwheel. Varun Sood swung his way to 41 not out in the interim, when Delhi needed to bat out 180 overs to save the game. ' ' '
