[saqib.rai]

Conway please see out Bumrah
He can win it for New Zealand InshAllah

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Bumrah looks nervous

 

[OMB]

true batting pitch or bumrah off key?

 

[kron]

Bumrah is a choker lol. In semis and finals. Great bowler but always doesn't deliver in one off ko games like semis and finals. Until now he never bowled wides lol

Epic ....mike tasteeeng...is legend...

 

[oatmeal]

Siraj line is better than Bumrah today. Very rare

 

[kron]

Chokli and Nohit over, now Bumrah

Watch him. Bumrah chokes
2017 choke vs us In final
2021 choke in t20
2021 choke in wtc final. If india played siraj there they would have won

2019 granted he did well.
Dint play 2022-23 wtc final.

Brother, give it a rest lol

 

[kron]

Bumrah choker but knowing me, he might get wickets next over lol.

 

[Devadwal]

Need wickets otherwise NZ has enough batsman to chase the total

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

cmon india...build up some dots...they will increase pressure on themselves

 

[kron]

Bumrah reminds me of waqar. Great player but sometimes in pressure one off kos he goes blank.

 

[kron]

cmon india...build up some dots...they will increase pressure on themselves

It's all bumrahs fault. Siraj has been good

 

[Devadwal]

Superb fielding by sky .save a certain boundary

 

[MP2011]

Chokli and Nohit over, now Bumrah

Whosoever this guy disses goes on to do well

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ are doing well in seeing off Bumrah's first few overs.

NZ - 23/0 (4 overs).

 

[kron]

Chokerah lol.

 

[Ali Active]

cmon india...build up some dots...they will increase pressure on themselves

pitch absolutely has flattened out

 

[IndoorCricket]

ah.. Bhumrah.. Sometimes blanks off. Prove me wrong Bhumrah.

 

[kron]

Whosoever this guy disses goes on to do well

That's so true. But I speak based on facts. 3 or 4 failures in ko for bumrah across formats. 1 or 2 good performances.

Kind of like waqar and wasim

 

[Ali Active]

indian spinners hold key now

 

[Devadwal]

Yaar bumrah .what are doing.
Bring back shami as bumrah is off colour now

 

[7sins]

Bumrah choking?

 

[kron]

Lol wide again from. Chokerah.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ should go like this:

First 10 overs: 75.
Next 10 overs: 150.
Next 10 overs: 225.
Next 10 overs: 300.
Final 10 overs: Reach target.

 

[oatmeal]

Have to hold NZ till the pitch slows down

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wow

 

[oatmeal]

Bumrah bowling like a spray gun

 

[kron]

Number 1 chokerah. Lol.

Consistent Ko role choker.

 

[7sins]

Have to hold NZ till the pitch slows down

What if dew comes in than what?

 

[Kaptan]

Someone give Bumrah that special ball.

 

[globetrotter]

Great bowling by Bumrah and Siraj, jst unlucky not getting nick

 

[sweep_shot]

This is a flat pitch. There can be dew.

Kiwis are not out of the game. 398 is chasable here.

 

[OMB]

NZ batsmen capitalising on all loose balls

 

[oatmeal]

What if dew comes in than what?

If Pitch is gripping it will be hard even with dew. But if they dont lose any wickets and put a solid platform they can just knock it around

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah can comeback at any stages later in the game so now time for shami

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Watch him. Bumrah chokes
2017 choke vs us In final
2021 choke in t20
2021 choke in wtc final. If india played siraj there they would have won

2019 granted he did well.
Dint play 2022-23 wtc final.

did the thought ever cross your mind that he was brilliant in all the matches leading up to the KO matches, his brilliance was the reason we made the KO matches?

 

[OMB]

This is a flat pitch. There can be dew.

Kiwis are not out of the game. 398 is chasable here.

If NZ keeps their cool, they can chase it down. Dew effect not seen till now

 

[oatmeal]

Much better line now

 

[pillionrider]

Whosoever this guy disses goes on to do well

Not to worry. He will just applaud them then, hoping his past crimes remain unnoticed

Rohit has cemented his status as a legendary odi player after this knocm

They almost did it against the Aussies. Almost a similar target.

 

[Devadwal]

Some Swing now

 

[MP2011]

That was a great delivery from Bumrah, came back in sharply.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Jazz boom getting it right since he went round the wicket, line and lenght lot better now...cmon m8...knock im over

 

[MP2011]

Lol, true

 

[kron]

did the thought ever cross your mind that he was brilliant in all the matches leading up to the KO matches, his brilliance was the reason we made the KO matches?

But to be rated amongst the greatest he needs go perform in ko too

 

[sweep_shot]

Shami is in the attack.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone. What a catch

 

[JattMaula]

What a catch!

 

[MP2011]

What a catch from Rahul

 

[OMB]

Chokerah lol.

Not as good as chokli and nohit. Coin a better one pls

 

[Kaptan]

Shami first ball wicket. Wat a catch!!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Shami gets Conway.

30/1.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Shami, ma boy. Does it with his 1st ball.

 

[oatmeal]

Shami picks up a first ball wicket! Rahul's keeping has improved leaps and bounds. It's hard to see Pant making an easy comeback in the side

 

[OMB]

Why don't we open with shami lol

 

[Devadwal]

Just need rachin wicket now inside pp .

 

[MP2011]

Who says Rahul isn't a regular keeper

 

[kron]

For shami's new hairstyle with the new treatment alone he deserves something special this year. What a bowler.

Bumrah too great bowler but not sure why he always gets a bit too nervous in KO.

 

[oatmeal]

Now they need to pick 2 or 3 before dew has a chance

 

[bluevision]

Apart from that 5 wd, Bumrah has bowled well. He has a cool head on his shoulder, unlikely to carry on spraying.

Shami . Fantastic catch by Rahul Dravid as per the commentator

 

[OMB]

Danger man gone, big problems for NZ

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

But to be rated amongst the greatest he needs go perform in ko too

voh baat bhi sahee hai....

 

[oatmeal]

Danger man gone, big problems for NZ

Rachin is also a danger man

 

[RamLakhan]

Have to say KL Rahul is a far better keeper than Pant or Kishan. He is at the level of Saha or Mongia (fixer apart) or More... Doesn't have the stumping sense of Dhoni perhaps!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

NZ done and dusted, what a bowler shami bhai is

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wotta Catch...

 

[dravidthewall]

Shami you beauty...you are the champ

 

[RamLakhan]

I think Shami got that special ball...

 

[oatmeal]

It's malpractice from the selectors that Relu Katta shardul kept Shami out of the lineup

 

[kron]

Forget indian bowlers. We know they are great.
Forget batsmen. They are fantastic too.

Know praise for kl Rahul keeping skills? What a revelation. Would he be the next test keeper for India?
