It's impossible to increase the playing area on those pitches. Will be better if we develop stadiums in other places. Those should just be Test match/tournament venues
 
Should have played it straight, instead of trying to hit it across the line.

He used to bat so well against Ajmal, Mendis and so many spinners. Look at him now. Regressed seriously post pandemic.

Kohli out to spin once again. His batting against left arm spin in particular has taken a beating

India has abundant left arm spinners these days. They are simply dominating the domestic. He could have anyone bowl to him. Problem is he is not picking the length. That is something that goes down as you get older.
 
NZ still has not had an ODI series win against India in Asia. 4 against Pakistan though - 3 since 2009. Not sure how PAK have lost series after series against these guys. :inti
 
Looking at the composure of Gill, one can clearly witness next generation taking over the mantle from previous generation atleast in ODI cricket. If he can show this improvement in Tests as well , transition will be smoother.
 
And Pakistan lost to this lot at home.

Dear me!
 
What a below par ordinary this NZ side is, only Pakistan made them look invincible at home.

Pakistan would have put a better fight against India than this Kiwi team.
 
Rohit Sharma anchored India's chase with a fine-tuned 51 as India registered a series-clinching win over New Zealand on Saturday.

Chasing a paltry target of 109 at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Cricket Stadium in Raipur, India reached home in 20.1 overs with Shubman Gill also playing a solid knock of 40 not out.

Earlier, Mohammed Shami took three wickets, Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar scalped two while Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav claimed one each as India bundled out New Zealand for 108 runs.

Host skipper Rohit Sharma had won the toss and elected to bowl against the Blackcaps in the second ODI.

India have now taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match series.

They had registering a narrow 12-run win in the opening game in Hyderabad.

So a close win for India in the first ODI which has shown that NZ are not to be scoffed in Indian conditions

Todays results showed that the first match result (NZ getting close) was an aberration a fluke thanks to an unbelievable innings by Bracewell.

Today things reverted to type.

Oflate India has been slack in closing out the game. 4 or 5 games like that in recent times. THey take the foot off the gas and let the opposition sneak in.
 
india will move to 1 in icc odi rankings if they win the 3rd odi v nz. india is currently at 3. top 4 sides are closely packed in ratings now.

England - 113
NZ - 113
India - 113
OZ - 112
Pakistan- 106

Those 4 sides should be favorites to qualify for the semis in the World Cup

If SA gets their team right they have an outside chance. But they shouldn't choke. Most of the south africans are familiar with Indian condtiions due to IPL. But their bowling often wilts under pressure in Indian conditions.

India A :- Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Shreyas, KL, pandya, Jadeja, Shardul, kuldeep, Siraj, Bumrah

India B : Gill, Shaw, Kishan, Tripathi, SKY, Sundar, Axar, Chahar,Shami, Umran, Chahal

Conclusion - Forget 15 or 18, Sanju Samson is not even among the 22 best Indian players in the country. Yes, the 73 average meme won't work any long here when you are not good enough to find a place in India B team lol :91: :inti

Why are you so obsessed with Sanju? And currently he's injured, no? He's not playing ranji trophy either..

Dangerous? How? This New Zealand side was missing some key players.

India are not favorites. England are favorites.

England are favorites. But NZ has never won a ODI series in India. India is also missing Bumrah, Jadeja. Even with full strength they got thrashed. It is very hard to beat India in India even with well below prime Kohli.
 
Depends on

Jadeja , bumrah comeback
Fitness if Shami , siraj , Malik
Correct selection
And most imp - sky getting more chances . He will win u matches out of nowhere
Last - dew factor . The first game clearly showed that few changes everything . If they change timings , india are favorites with Sri Lanka as a dark horse and New Zealand an ever present threat with aussie .

Pak will remain unpredictable but is a good odi team if shaheen is fit and batters are in form .

I still don't know the venues. Indian pitches are helpful for any type of bowlers depending on where you play. So all top teams can beat each other depending on toss, surface. Kohli is like 10 or 20% of his peak form. That is the major problem. If Kohli is as good as he was during his peak, India would be a resounding favorites. Same way Rohit is also not the old Rohit that played in 2019 world cup. KL Rahul is a choker. He will keep and lose matches with his keeping.
 
I wouldn't get carried away by our performances and results of JAMODI series.

Use to take these seriously and give importance to the results as I thought they'd dictate how we'll perform in the WC. Thought we'd bomb in 2019 WC and the WC last year given our form and performances before those tournaments but the team performed admirably in those tournaments and progressed a lot further than most imagined.

What I've learnt over the years is the team are really methodical about their preparation, planning wise I don't think there is a team that as good. By the time the WC is here the team will have things worked out with their best XI and they'll be playing their best cricket, if not close to it.

Taking Finn to the WC would be a mistake. Need to look at Young and possibly Mitchell.

He's just too careless up the top and not someone who you can trust to tough it out when conditions aren't favorable.

There are no outright favourites in this format. Top 4 sides in the rankings should make the semis. Pakistan have an outside chance and thats all we can say now.
 
India's concern is death overs bowling and Bumrah's fitness doesn't give the confidence that he will be back to his best by the time World Cup comes.

Siraj is good upfront with new ball.
Shami is inconsistent but when he gets his rythm right, he can be dangerous.
Umran has pace but still a rookie.
Shardul is bog mediocre.

I think India should try Mohsin or Tyagi also because there are clearly lack of options assuming one more pacers injury.
