ICC World Cup 2023: India (397/4) convincingly defeat New Zealand (327) by 70 runs securing their spot in the World Cup final

[vprasanna83]

This is astounding bowling . Not much swing but astonishing seam movement. Purely skill

 

[Devadwal]

There was no none under lights it does more been the case throughout the world cup

They were get seam and Swing at dharmshala also when bowling first.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami reminds me of asif.
Bumrah is like waqar.

No substitute for hardwork. Built a ground in his village with 3 different pitches practiced for hours to master his craft.

 

[7sins]

This match is over rrr almost 9 an over not much batting left after this pair all are out of form or inconsistent

 

[Devadwal]

Bring back siraj and give rest to Bumrah

 

[kron]

This bakwaskane what is he doing? Test cricket?

 

[7sins]

They were get seam and Swing at dharmshala also when bowling first.

Dharmshala is a totally different case due to the surroundings and cool temperature you get movement there

 

[Buffet]

Why boult and Southee were unable to swing the ball but Indian pacers are getting swing and seam in every match .

Two reasons,

Indian pacers are better.
They are bowling under lights.

 

[sweep_shot]

This match is over rrr almost 9 an over not much batting left after this pair all are out of form or inconsistent

Yeah. Seems like it.

I think NZ should start slogging. No time for consolidation.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have seen Boult under light at Wankhede in the IPL. He was never like this. He needs genuine overcast conditions. Shami is not a swing bowler technically. He is a seam bowler. He lands on the seam.

 

[castortroy]

Said from the beginning of the tournament that India would go unbeaten

 

[nish_mate]

nah, for me - we should move away from artificial razmattaz of bollywood and those artificial paan masaala plugging advt hungry actor/tresses....Ahmedabad is a worthy place to hold a finals....move away from the big metros - bad air delhi and over hyped mumbai

Delhyis never really hosted big ticket WC matches...and shouldnt

 

[JaDed]

This is astounding bowling . Not much swing but astonishing seam movement. Purely skill

Exactly, I have realised an average person just doesn’t know the difference between seam and swing and I have stopped wasting my time with them due to conspiracy theories.

 

[RahulBose]

Lehraa Do...Lehraa Do....

Finally TI got it's own circketoing anthem

I thought Vande Mataram was our anthem.

 

[mominsaigol]

Shami reminds me of asif.
Bumrah is like waqar.

Shami has bowled better then bumrah this tournament.

 

[oatmeal]

Delhyis never really hosted big ticket WC matches...and shouldnt

No one will be able to see anything in the smog

 

[castortroy]

Playing India in India is equivalent to playing the Aussies in Australia in the late 90s and 20s

 

[U$ofA]

Did they change the pitch again for the second innings?

 

[JaDed]

Shami has bowled better then bumrah this tournament.

They both together are creating havoc, that’s what matters.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball after ball he is landing on the seam perfectly. Sreesanth was the last guy to do that. But he was not accurate like this

 

[nish_mate]

No one will be able to see anything in the smog

Even pre smog era, Ferozshah never hosted anything in WC of importance

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

I have seen Boult under light at Wankhede in the IPL. He was never like this. He needs genuine overcast conditions. Shami is not a swing bowler technically. He is a seam bowler. He lands on the seam.

True, shami is seam bowler without any wobble, great art.

 

[oatmeal]

Williamson isnt even trying to rotate the strike

 

[Devadwal]

So far 15 runs from Wides

 

[Buffet]

Rachin played like a tail ender as I expected before the start of the world cup. He over achieved

Nah, it's just top class bowling with ball moving both ways. Very few batsmen can play it well. He is young and had a great WC.

 

[7sins]

Lol check out the movement whoever wins the toss in the final will win the match

 

[Swashbuckler]

Look at the seam position of all our pacers, no other pace unit in the world comes remotely close. This is like test match bowling, adapted to ODIs.

 

[OMB]

nah, for me - we should move away from artificial razmattaz of bollywood and those artificial paan masaala plugging advt hungry actor/tresses....Ahmedabad is a worthy place to hold a finals....move away from the big metros - bad air delhi and over hyped mumbai

Even before Ahmedabad, Wankhede was bot first choice, or was let’s Eden gardens (due to capacity)
NM ahmedabad stadium will be a great venue, like a supergiant colosseum

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Delhyis never really hosted big ticket WC matches...and shouldnt

yeah...that stadium in delhi is one of the all time ugly stadiums worldwide...it looks lika glorified car park stand....
one saving grace is they removed the ugly nasty and in your face paan masala advts from the stands and replaced it with WC colours....
The politics of the DDCA are legendary....one big mess of a snake pit they are....

 

[globetrotter]

Umpire has secretly handed over the chip-ball to Shami. Bye bye Rachin

In fact BCCI installed invisible fan at non-striker end and due to it’s air flow ball is swinging

 

[Rajdeep]

TBH it was very good toss to win. Batting under lights in Mumbai is difficult and Boult/Southee would have caused some issues to our batsmen as well.

 

[7sins]

Nah, it's just top class bowling with ball moving both ways. Very few batsmen can play it well. He is young and had a great WC.

Yeah he had a top top world cup but if you go by his domestic stats and all and stats before the world cup for me he over achieved

 

[Rajdeep]

Shami is bowling like he did in Gabba test 2018

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Hopefully , Siraj Miyan will step up in the finals

Siraj may have taken wickets lately but still has lot to learn. But Shami is one best RHB at the moment. I guess he debuted in 'Anay dho series' vs Pak in 3rd ODI and India ended up defending 170 odd in delhi.

 

[globetrotter]

Williamson 4 runs in 16, but everything is quite

 

[Devadwal]

Williamson is beaten around 10 times in short innings so far .

 

[bluevision]

Tuktuk Williamson. Just buying sometime hoping the dew-nizam will come to rescue them.

 

[nish_mate]

yeah...that stadium in delhi is one of the all time ugly stadiums worldwide...it looks lika glorified car park stand....
one saving grace is they removed the ugly nasty and in your face paan masala advts from the stands and replaced it with WC colours....
The politics of the DDCA are legendary....one big mess of a snake pit they are....

Those crooked stands, really get my goat. City like Delhi deserves a Big bulaand in your face fatty awe inspiring stadium, not this stoopid crooked stadium

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Ball after ball he is landing on the seam perfectly. Sreesanth was the last guy to do that. But he was not accurate like this

yep....when i think of Sreesanth...i think what a waste of a talent he was....had everything....but had a fickle temperament and an ability to rub people the wrong way...else he had he been ruthless with his focus...he could have achieved great things

 

[RahulBose]

Shami has bowled better then bumrah this tournament.

United they stand, divided each one falls.

 

[Buffet]

Yeah he had a top top world cup but if you go by his domestic stats and all and stats before the world cup for me he over achieved

Yah, no one expected him to have this kind of WC so you can say that. A very good prospect for NZ.

 

[kron]

How tall is shami? 5'7?

Looks very short.
Proves that bowler can be short and still great. What's the excuse for our boys. Shaheen 6'6
Rauf 5'11
hasan yes shortie bur still taller than shami surely.

 

[nish_mate]

I thought Vande Mataram was our anthem.

Vande Matram's not a cricketing anthem though right....its non cricketing

Previously used to be Chak De India, but thats a hockey anthem tbf that Cricket nicked

Lehraa Do is cricket based and cricket inspired.

 

[bluevision]

Those crooked stands, really get my goat. City like Delhi deserves a Big bulaand in your face fatty awe inspiring stadium, not this stoopid crooked stadium

Delhi and Bangalore need new stadiums. Heard they are planning one in Bangalore Airport side.

 

[Devadwal]

Agression by Mitchell

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bangalorean Agent Rachin conceded runs at 8.6 and batted at less than Strike rate of 60.

Well done agent , Rachin. True servant if the motherland

 

[oatmeal]

Commies calling out the lack of applause . Good. Crowds need to be a bit more sporting

 

[Buffet]

NZ needs to play shots.

 

[oatmeal]

Bangalorean Agent Rachin conceded runs at 8.6 and batted at less than Strike rate of 60.

Well done agent , Rachin. True servant if the motherland

His dad is a huge Indian cricket fan too

 

[Rajdeep]

Bangalorean Agent Rachin conceded runs at 8.6 and batted at less than Strike rate of 60.

Well done agent , Rachin. True servant if the motherland

He is the reason they are in semi finals in first place...else either Eng or Pak will be here.

 

[Leeon1994]

Should have dropped Rachin for this match. Native country factor went against NZ.

 

[mominsaigol]

United they stand, divided each one falls.

Yes but he was comparing waqar and asif.

Shami has been the waqar this tourney lol. Bumrah asif

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Mitchell standing out of his crease facing Siraj....to negate the swing on offer....just shows if you are skilful and think ahead, you can also combat the others who are equally skilful....good tactics....i feel for us this partnership -is crucial, if we manage to put in some dots....will increase pressure....but now siraj goes for 2 boundaries.....hope dew does not kick in...

 

[kron]

Mitchell is a class player

 

[bluevision]

Why Shami is going out of field after every over he bowls

 

[Kaptan]

Those crooked stands, really get my goat. City like Delhi deserves a Big bulaand in your face fatty awe inspiring stadium, not this stoopid crooked stadium

True. Especially when in the recent past some truly legendary players have come out of Delhi. If I am not wrong in WC2011, most of the players were from Delhi NCR.

 

[OMB]

yep....when i think of Sreesanth...i think what a waste of a talent he was....had everything....but had a fickle temperament and an ability to rub people the wrong way...else he had he been ruthless with his focus...he could have achieved great things

I feel he wasn’t all that talented tbh
I have seen him bowl.
Was wayward and for a seam bowler being wayward is dangerous. Part from his antics, he also didn’t have a fine cricketing brain.
Though I liked his fighting spirit

 

[Devadwal]

Four and free hit from Jadeja.

 

[7sins]

Kane with all the experience and playing like that? Mitchel is trying his best

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Commies calling out the lack of applause . Good. Crowds need to be a bit more sporting

Yes. am glad they are calling out....i feel the same way watching indian cricket for so many years. ..but i do not feel it is for lack of sporting spirit....indian crowds do clap oppositon landmarks....its more an indifference to opposition efforts...its almost as if 'oh...did he reallly it it for four/did awesome fielding/wicket gone....??? never mind ...next ball will be better'

 

[bluevision]

The team is trusting KL for reviews. Marrying Suniel Shetty's daughter has done wonders for his career.

 

[RehanG]

What is Williamson doing .

 

[BaaliSoda]

Two of the most effective(sometimes destrcutive) players of spin at the crease.

Gotta get rid of them before dew settles in.

Siraj looks the weakest among the bowlers so far.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Why Shami is going out of field after every over he bowls

to get the software of pitch change tuned.. !!!

 

[7sins]

The team is trusting KL for reviews. Marrying Suniel Shetty's daughter has done wonders for his career.

And our players going downhill since they got married

 

[nish_mate]

True. Especially when in the recent past some truly legendary players have come out of Delhi. If I am not wrong in WC2011, most of the players were from Delhi NCR.

Sehwag, GG, Kohli are the only ones proper Delhi & NCR

Raina, Bhajji were Northern belt, rest East/West & Southern India

 

[OMB]

Anotha babhi huh?
Is that also a BCCI plot?

 

[nish_mate]

Too many boundaries for liking....need a wicket

 

[7sins]

Too many boundaries for liking....need a wicket

Where are too many boundaries

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Would dew be setting in ?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Would dew be setting in ?

By 8 pm local time.

 

[OMB]

kane has got lead feet, hardly moving

 

[7sins]

They should bowl 2-3 more overs from shami

 

[bluevision]

Anotha babhi huh?
Is that also a BCCI plot?

But this bhabhi is not into movies and staff

 

[dravidthewall]

This match is not over yet....NZ still win this

 

[globetrotter]

Partnership looks dangerous with willamson’s 10(25)

 

[Kaptan]

Sehwag, GG, Kohli are the only ones proper Delhi & NCR

Raina, Bhajji were Northern belt, rest East/West & Southern India

Also Nehra. 4 out of 15 is very good.

 

[RamLakhan]

Delhi and Bangalore need new stadiums. Heard they are planning one in Bangalore Airport side.

Bangalore can get rid of Chinna (Small) swamy... Its in the middle of city and they can adopt it to multiple commercial complex... Yes a new stadium in outskirts will be good... (free from traffic and bit of pollution perhaps)

 

[OMB]

And our players going downhill since they got married

Maybe get the remaining ones married to Indian bhabis, a la maxwell, see his meter rise

Problem with Blore is travelling to that faraway stadium
