India [156/2] defeat New Zealand [157] by 8 wickets [DLS Method] in the 1st ODI

[rhony]

Chahal Strikes.!! This is a gun bowling unit. First swing and now spin. Ignoring 125 mediocrity for now

 

[Chokli]

finally a team to challenge new zealand

 

[Chokli]

Chahal Strikes.!! This is a gun bowling unit. First swing and now spin. Ignoring 125 mediocrity for now

honestly, he's just there to fill the overs... and he hasn't done too bad so far

 

[JattMaula]

Miandad's record of consecutive fifty plus scores is safe.

 

[rhony]

1.Rohit Sharma
2.Shikhar Dhawan
3.Virat Kohli
4.MS Dhoni
5.Shubman Gill
6.Kedar Jadav
7.Ravindra Jadeja/Hardik Pandya
8.Bhuvneshwar Kumar
9.Jasprit Bumrah
10.Mohammad Shami
11.Kuldeep Yadav/Yuzvendra Chahal

that is a gun side tbh

Gill at 4, Pandya at 7, Kuldeep at 10 and CHahal at 11. That's GUN lineup but wont happen. Too few games for Gill to prove even if he gets a chance here

 

[Chokli]

this india line up can rival the aussies of 2000s

 

[rhony]

honestly, he's just there to fill the overs... and he hasn't done too bad so far

Thats the point. There should not be a filler bowling 10 overs. India's success is based on dismissing the opposition to sub 270 scores and chasing it. Pandya filled that role well. 125 won't cut it

they still have jadav to bowl a few,

10 from bhuvi
10 from shami
10 from kuldeep
10 from chahal

the rest you can have shankar and jadav

 

[Sin Nombre]

Not this Indian xi.

 

[Chokli]

Not this Indian xi.

few adjustments then yes

 

[charlie007]

How did Vijay find a place in the Indian team as an allrounder is beyond my understanding. 120 kph pies one after the other and all pitched half way on the pitch. Pathetic!

 

[charlie007]

Jadhav and Rayudu are the crappiest fielders we have.

 

[charlie007]

Dropping Williamson is a crime. A bigger one than dropping Kohli.

 

[Sin Nombre]

This is such a bad fielding unit. Rayadu is the worst but Chahal and Jadhav aren't much better.

 

[MisbahTheGreat]

Ordinary fielding unit without Jadeja, Raina or Pandya

 

[TheSensible]

Jadhav hahahaha

It's a crime to have this dude on the field. What's the least risky part of the field to put their crappiest fielder at?

 

[rhony]

That was a dolly!!!

 

[JattMaula]

Jadhav hahahaha

It's a crime to have this dude on the field. What's the least risky part of the field to put their crappiest fielder at?

Dugout?

 

[jnaveen1980]

worst worst worst fielding unit

 

[yuvi]

Allrounder is one category we are reallt struggling with. There are no good options.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not seen such a poor fielding unit since the 90s

 

[JattMaula]

Allrounder is one category we are reallt struggling with. There are no good options.

And one we painstakingly developed can't keep his mouth shut.

 

[rhony]

Jadhav hahahaha

It's a crime to have this dude on the field. What's the least risky part of the field to put their crappiest fielder at?

Jadav doesn't approve a wicket off 125 kph and rejected the catch!!!

 

[TheSensible]

Dugout?

I suspect it's right behind the rope line. You'd get similar usage ratings on him.

 

[Chokli]

Allrounder is one category we are reallt struggling with. There are no good options.

i think most countries are struggling with all rounders

 

[rhony]

Allrounder is one category we are reallt struggling with. There are no good options.

What about that guy from SRH, Hooda?

 

[Sin Nombre]

What about that guy from SRH, Hooda?

Shivam Dubey is your option.

 

[Aman]

Didn't realise Latham was playing, I guess hes the first choice keeper?

Just need to string together a partnership and hit out. India to their credit have bowled really well.

 

[Chokli]

this is a pathetic performance by the kiwis

smashing minnows and finally getting a challenge

 

[Sin Nombre]

Does Chahal only dive off his own bowling?

 

[TheSensible]

That looked like it bounced.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ANother one beat by drift.

 

[rhony]

Didn't realise Latham was playing, I guess hes the first choice keeper?

Just need to string together a partnership and hit out. India to their credit have bowled really well.

Of course. Wonder why he hasn't opened

 

[Chokli]

that didn't look out

 

[jnaveen1980]

That looked like it bounced.

Finger under it. Third umpire took like 2 seconds to give that out. It was that obvious.

 

[yuvi]

Shivam Dubey is your option.

Dubey bowls around the same pace as Shankar.

 

[Aman]

this is a pathetic performance by the kiwis

smashing minnows and finally getting a challenge

You obviously don't watch us much, we tend to lose early wickets and then rally back from a partnership and low order burst.

 

[JattMaula]

What about that guy from SRH, Hooda?

We have plenty of finger spinning allrounders. We need a pace one to play both our wristies.

 

[jnaveen1980]

that didn't look out

What you want to see vs what you see Always there. Anyway third umpire didn't even waste time like you would see in doublt decision. He didn't even say inconclusive.

 

[JattMaula]

Shivam Dubey is your option.

Dubey is only marginally better bowler.

 

[Dingolfy]

Thats the point. There should not be a filler bowling 10 overs. India's success is based on dismissing the opposition to sub 270 scores and chasing it. Pandya filled that role well. 125 won't cut it

LoL at Desi fans hyping up Pandya. He has a bollwing average of 40.95 with an economy of 5.55. and bowls mostly short of length deliveries. Hadly anything great to write about. And being 'Phasht' doesn't mean nothing in this age of pattas unless you have the skills and accuracy to go with it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Chahal forces the batsman to genreate speed. Atleast he is getting wickets despite pathetic fielding and useless batting. But this Rayudu is such a waste of space. Can't collect balls even on 3rd attempts regularly.

 

[TheSensible]

Finger under it. Third umpire took like 2 seconds to give that out. It was that obvious.

Naw, I agree with the decision. I was talking about right as it happened, I thought it bounced as after it hit the bat.

 

[rhony]

Chahal seems to have worked on return catches. He missed a bunch of them in the last few months

 

[Chokli]

You obviously don't watch us much, we tend to lose early wickets and then rally back from a partnership and low order burst.

i have watched you but you people haven't faced a quality bowling line up in a while.

smashed minnows last january 5-0 pakistan.

drew 1-1 against pakistan in uae, should have won 2-0 tbh.

you folks haven't had any other odi series' have you? there was an england series in march 2018 iirc?

anywho, i think india is taking this 3-2/4-1..

bangladesh series should be very interesting, wish it was 5 odis instead of 3

 

[Chokli]

What you want to see vs what you see

honestly, that's true

He's a third seamer and averages 40 runs a wicket with ER of 55. In an average score of 300, he gives away 55 runs and picks up a wicket. He can score 30 quick runs at 115 SR and is a gun fielder and a clutch player. Those are priceless stats for an AR in ODIs

 

[Dingolfy]

Kiwis played Kulcha brilliantly last time in India. Especially Latham have sweeped them well. But looks like today they are struggling.

 

[Chokli]

if india is looking for those credentials in their all rounder slot then you honestly can't argue with that.

 

[rhony]

We have plenty of finger spinning allrounders. We need a pace one to play both our wristies.

Oh thought Hooda was a medium pacer. My bad

He is a good enough 6th bowler, will be a liability on good pitches currently. But it is easier to improve on line & length than pace. He has the pace hope he can improve his cobtrol.

 

[rhony]

This is a key partnership. Nicholls has been in terrific form of late

Despite his antics, he got a good work ethic and works hard. He will improve

 

[Chokli]

mixed pakoras

 

[charlie007]

Jadhav will not be effective in NZ. These pitches have good bounce so any short length will sit up nicely to be hit.

 

[Chokli]

is that even legal? he's legit throwing the ball

 

[yuvi]

Yeah but he has beem hyped too much. Seems it is getting to his head.

In average score of 300, he would got 60 runs and more from 10 overs. Bhaijan, have you seen him bowl? Most of his deliveries are hit-me-short-of-length and batsmen feast on them on today's pattas.
And his batting has been huge flop after the Australia series in India. He is a gun fielder but so is Jadeja. But both are useless otherways in LOIs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is ugly. But legit. It is similar to malinga. Low arm action. But it doesn't bend. Actually it is quiet difficult to bowl accurately.

 

[Wahid1234]

This indian team is unstoppable literally steam-rolling new-zealand in their own backyard is not something you see. pakistan coudn't beat new zealnd in UAE never mind in new zealand pitches where we always get hammered. This indian team has all basis covered and should win the world cup

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes. He has to achieve a lot more.

if you have bumrah, shami and bhuvi... i don't think there is a need for pandya, you can stick to jadeja

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nicols looks in very good touch. His reactions are precise from the get go.

 

[rhony]

Yeah but he has beem hyped too much. Seems it is getting to his head.

Of course it got to his head. But he improved nevertheless. It's that west Indian Pollard and Gayle's influence and he started thinking he's got that same swagger.

 

[Chokli]

This indian team is unstoppable literally steam-rolling new-zealand in their own backyard is not something you see. pakistan coudn't beat new zealnd in UAE never mind in new zealand pitches where we always get hammered. This indian team has all basis covered and should win the world cup

they are definitely making the finals

Too early to say that. NZ still can get to a good score if they can have their batsmen batting in the last 10. We have no bumrah.

This InDian team is a well oiled unit. Well...for the most part with questionable selections like Rayudu. Without Jadeja Fielding looks weak though

 

[Chokli]

Too early to say that. NZ still can get to a good score if they can have their batsmen batting in the last 10. We have no bumrah.

you do have a kohli, dhawan and a rohit that can chase down any score

 

[jagatk]

if you have bumrah, shami and bhuvi... i don't think there is a need for pandya, you can stick to jadeja

And who bats in last 10? Jadeja is a useless hack who can't score more than run a ball, the not so golden oldies aren't going to go hell for leather, playing pandya isn't an option it is a necessity not to mention if all 3 Pacers play we can't play both leggies which hurts us in middle overs.

 

[rhony]

if you have bumrah, shami and bhuvi... i don't think there is a need for pandya, you can stick to jadeja

India needs Pandya's batting, bowling, fielding in that order

 

[desi_launda]

Jadav the Kiwi Nemesis strikes again!

 

[yuvi]

you do have a kohli, dhawan and a rohit that can chase down any score

Well they have been exceptional last couple of years. Law of average suggests that they will get into a lean period soon. And the middle order can't win us matches.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jadhav lucked a wicket lol But good catch though. That was well timed. But he couldn't pick the gap.

 

[JaDed]

Cannot bear Jadhav honestly! Why is Rayudu playing when Gill can make it..

 

[Chokli]

edit del

He's clutch whereas Jadeja chokes. His bowling is alright. His batting is good at 7. Without him, India can't play Both wrist spinners. Pandya also has a knack of breaking partnerships.

 

[Chokli]

And who bats in last 10? Jadeja is a useless hack who can't score more than run a ball, the not so golden oldies aren't going to go hell for leather, playing pandya isn't an option it is a necessity not to mention if all 3 Pacers play we can't play both leggies which hurts us in middle overs.

as if pandya is setting the world on fire with his batting.

jadeja is decent enough and pretty sure bhuvi can hold his own with the bat.

rohit, dhawan, kohli, dhoni, karthik, jadav, jadeja

that is more than enough fire power amongst the available candidates..

all pandya has done is 76 against pak where he molested shadab

krunal is also an option but i think he needs to have a stellar ipl first... but i think he might just be a t20 specialist

 

[jagatk]

you do have a kohli, dhawan and a rohit that can chase down any score

What happens when they can't, you don't pick teams expecting the best from everyone otherwise we might as well pick 8 bowlers because barring the top 3 no other Indian batsmen are reliable.

 

[Chokli]

Well they have been exceptional last couple of years. Law of average suggests that they will get into a lean period soon. And the middle order can't win us matches.

i just hope they are not fatigued because of ipl

 

[rhony]

Jadhav lucked a wicket lol But good catch though. That was well timed. But he couldn't pick the gap.

Bro every wicket from Jadav from times immemorial seems lucky. He's a thinking bowler. Remember Dhawan saying in an interview that he's very difficult to get away in the nets and Indian team started testing him in ODIs
