That Kohli knock has basically kept them in the game.

An attacking 60 or 70 with Sky and Jadeja playing attacking cameos for the remaining balls would have been more useful to the team's cause.

They should have scored 400+ against both South Africa and NZ. Unfortunately one of their players was playing for milestones instead of trying to help his team win the World Cup.

It's sad because Rohit has sacrificed personal stats for the teams cause

I despises stat padders. After watching how pitch played out and given how bad indian tail is, I can totally understand vitals innings. Could have do e slightly better. Tbf india have away 25 extras.
 
Well played Williamson, selfless innings that. Took pressure of Mitchell at times even though he was the aggressor. Kohli should take notes here

If a team can't defend 400 runs then other team deserve to win. It's lots of runs.

Not necessarily. The wickets column is key.

You can't be going at less than a run a ball for your hundred especially when the platform was laid.
 
Fantastic for NZ, crazy to send Latham out there.

Phillips is the match winner along with Mitchell here
 
Shami >>>>>>>>> buttrah choker.

Shami as good as waqar if not better.

Buttrah is like asif

We all despise stat padders too. Just that we know who they are
 
All 4 go to Shami. Every new batsman will face this issue. NZ already hit their peak and best part is dew isn't here yet
 
It happens after a long partnership. You get one and you get another.
 
Now comes the danger man. India needs to get rid of Glen Phillips ASAP else he will take the game away.
 
Shami is such a good bowler. Imagine if they had Pandya instead of him with Bumrah having a poor game, would easily be NZ's get to lose. Specialists are key

I think he played fine given India has a very poor tail. Indians have been batting like that and Kohli has been told to play run a ball till the end and others go big. That way they can't get bowled out so cheaply that game is over. At least that's what I have observed. I think here, Kohli could have taken more risk, but I won't blame batting when team is getting 400 runs.
 
Once india have a sniff don't think they lose. Now wait and watch for kuldeep and jadeja to choke runs and take wickets
 
Excellent build the pressure now, Shami and Siraj need to improve their fielding.
 
At least people may not complain BCCI, Pitch-doctoring/fixing/shifting, Slow Pitch, Advanced Techno-Ball Tampering, Chemical invisible terraforming of pitch, etc, etc, what not...! Thank God we got some kind of close game instead of NZ bundling out under 100....

Thank you NZ for your efforts!!! We have some breathing space here on PP...

No Kohli was selfish. Williamson had to drop anchor because they lost early wickets and the wicket was swinging in the first 15 overs.

That was initial stages, kohli scored 117 off 113,
think like this, Williamson should have emulated that and stuck to crease. But do we say he failed NZ? Look at what happened after departed

Not many overs left for them, need a part timer to squeeze an over
 
As long as Mitchell and Phillips are there, game is not done yet.

But, RRR is slowly getting out of hands. Need a few big overs.
 
Kane Williamson has costed NZ this game by scoring a slow 65 of 73 deliveries with bat, he got 4 extra runs by Jadeja. That's why you need naturally more aggressive player. He is just slow and if he was playing for India or Pakistan, he would have been treated harshly by fans and critics for such a slow knock in a 397 run chase.
 
Mitchell losing his head a bit here. He needs to calm down a bit
