From what I seen, he bowled well in all fairness. However, he was lucky that Guptill and Munro was out quickly.

Back of the length stuff at 125 doesn't need a Munro or Guptill to smash. Kane and Taylor were consolidating and Kohli quickly slipped him in to the proceedings.

Didn't expect NZ to perform like this.

Also India showing why you play a specialist new ball bowler and look at the results. Whilst we used Faheem as a opening bowler .

England started in similar fashion in t20s against us. By the time the ODIs came they got used to the spinners and beat us comfortably in the last 2 ODIs. Our middle order couldn't even deliver against weak English bowling attack. Kiwi batting has quality and bowling is much better. Can't afford to be complacent.

Taylor, Nichols, WIlliamson are good players. They have seen it all. All the mystery spinners, all kind of spinners. Munro and Guptill consistently did well in recent times. Losing both fo them upfront upset their rythm and they were never able to gain any momentum. They will do much better in the next match.

People need to stop hating on Shankar, we need a pace all rounder - and If there's one better than him apart from Pandya then sure recommend him. Bhuvi is not an all rounder in ODIs - the player needs to be capable of a 130 SR innings.
