Indian Spinners dominate the 2nd day !!!!

India VS New Zealand(2nd day 1st test - 24/08/2012)

Quiet an eventful day today thought India would make more than 500 but they got bundled out for 438,New Zealand bowled very well today to contain India and started off well during their turn to bat with a boundry and were looking very positive in their intent but after 7 odd overs Dhoni got in the spinners and it was all downhill for them.The pitch really looks like its helping out the spinners in a big way so the odds look very much in India's favor to win the match lets see how it goes hopefully there should not be a problem for India to pull this off..One of the best part of the match was when Sachin Tendulkar came to bowl towards the end of the day there was a huge roar from the crowd which shows how much love and respect people have for him.Below is the full score card of the 2nd day
