What's new

India [135/3] defeat New Zealand [132/5] by 7 wickets to win 2nd T20I, lead series 2-0

We've made the last 2 Finals of the last 2 WCs.

Drew one and lost the other to the GOAT cricket nation on their home turf in our first ODI game in Aus in years.

The last time India made a WC Final outside India, Bumrah was still in his diapers and George Bush was still president of the USA.

Drew one, Come out of the bubble..
Talk about clutching at straws 😂
The thing is nz team is the biggest chokers,They should take the elite title now, Yet to win zilch in their life time 😂
 
We should ideally send our u19 team to this side. Waste of time. Giving free revenue to minnow countries smh. Would rather have given it to Afghanistan or Ireland. Similar competition.

What an arrogant post. This minnow team beat us in the ODI World Cup last year. And they actually have a pretty good head to head record against us in both meaningless bilaterals and meaningful T20 World Cup matches. :inti

Congrats on winning the "defeating India In WC" competition. As I said small teams have small fans who small mentality. Harping about a match like as if you'll get a trophy over it. Christ.
 
BCCI should fast track Iyer to Tests too.
Good win from Indian team. Cannot ask much from you guys.
Team confidence is high. It should be throughout this tour.
New Zealand batsman are struggling against our bowlers. This is an another good sign.

Lol what? We also have fans who chest thump after winning matches against Pakistan in World Cups. And some of them even claim that its bigger than the World Cup trophy.

Does that mean our team is also small because we have those small mentality fans as well? :inti
 
I still can't believe they keep Shardul in the picture for world T20. This guy can lose the match in one over. Saini should be backed unless they think Thakur is an all rounder.
 
NZ should worry about their world T20 campaign. It is really an aged side. Guptill, Taylor Williamson. Munroe is a hack. You can't rely on him. CDG is not reliable either. Collin Munro is ranked no.4 in T20. But he never plays like one. He just swings from hips hoping it would connect. TA BOult is a poor T20 bowler with an ER of 8.64. Ferguson has a decent record. But he has played all his 8 T20s in NZ.
 
The top 4 is set for Team India which is great because each one of thme on their day can win the match single hand. Also the option for 5 6 7 are also not bad with Pandey, Pant, Pandya, Dube and Jadeja in mix.

Bowling is started to take shape as well. Bhuvi will come back at some time.

Overall, we are on right track for our 6th consecutive ICC event semifinal...hope we are 6th time lucky winning the trophy.

Bhuvi and Chahar will be back

Thakur atm offers better utility
 
I have this feeling India may just win 5-0. They are looking unstoppable (no matter where they play).

We wont be a factor this WT20, we're usually pretty dire in Aus. It should hopefully see the end of Kane, Taylor and Munro in the format. Then we can start bringing in the young players and specialists for 2021. Guptill is definitely still good enough.

The good thing is these games are exposing these weaknesses. It's up to the selectors to correct them, although Kane and Taylor is not going to happen. There may be a chance of Munro getting dropped but that is pretty small too.

England would have slapped you up.

england would self destruct. I highly doubt that. they are lucky dhawan dint have to play post australia game. England would beat us like how? they beat us in 2013 in England haha.

we may lose to n.z but not England who are a very overrated odi side. I still don't see England as the true winners of 2019.

Why you want Kane to get dropped in t20s.He got the game for t20s and opening is best slot for him.I have seen him playing excellent innings in ipl and even comes so close to win ipl trophy.

Workload and he doesn't have the game for T20. There's games where he gets bogged down and gets us into a hole.
 
What other teams do you support
Barcelona and NZ Warriors.

Oh and my all time favorite wrestler is in his last years doing nothing for his career and got injured tonight.

As long as Messi is healthy and motivated, Barcelona may still end up winning La Liga and the CL.

At least, they are no United.

I feel for Messi, he's all alone there. It's him or nothing with Suarez out and Griezmann not fully integrated and you can't rely on one player to do it all, it's impossible.
 
Yeah, he's done nothing the last 2 years and his best WM match so far was against Shane =\

He did well against Y2J at his first wrestlemania,I liked his match against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series,Best Lesnar match since against Cm Punk at SummerSlam 2013.
