India [204/4] beat New Zealand [203/5] by 6 wickets in the first T20I to take 1-0 series lead

[jnaveen1980]

This team couldn't get the ball of the square and are hitting India's bowlers all around the park. Second and third tier mate.

Yes Australian grounds is the same as NZ ground. T20 is the same as Test. We castrated that attack.

 

[Space Cat]

Jonty Chahal with the diving save.

 

[Aman]

Yes Australian grounds is the same as NZ ground. T20 is the same as Test. We castrated that attack.

Yeah, by winning the toss. When it matters Aus always has your number.

 

[Space Cat]

To be fair when Australia chased that 245 down it was helped by Ben Wheeler completely forgeting how to bowl. Was hard to watch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yeah, by winning the toss. When it matters Aus always has your number.

wHAT ARE YOU talking man. They won all 3 tosses.

 

[Aman]

NZ is also experimenting it seems. But Munro is untrustworthy. He failed time and again last time India toured. This probably is one of the one-off innings.

He is ordinary against good bowling attacks. Takes bad attacks apart tho.

 

[MP2011]

wHAT ARE YOU talking man. They won all 3 tosses.

Thats why its futile to argue with him...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Chahal and Thakur has given some bonus runs (atleast 30 to 35) to NZ.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is ordinary against good bowling attacks. Takes bad attacks apart tho.

He was ordinary against INdia last time we toured. Stop trollnig man. Learn from spacecat.

 

[MP2011]

Better over from Shami....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Thats why its futile to argue with him...

Absolutely downright immature fan he is.

 

[Aman]

wHAT ARE YOU talking man. They won all 3 tosses.

Why on Earth would they set in India? It's always better to chase with dew and the wickets generally very good for batting.

 

[MP2011]

Only Bumrah in this world can stop Kiwis scoring over 200 in this innings.

 

[Space Cat]

Bumrah is going to keep this in reach unless Taylor gets him away here.

 

[MP2011]

Absolutely downright immature fan he is.

He is ax extremely bitter ex-Indian.. You get the gist...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian fielding has conceded 30 free runs with bad fielding including missed catch

 

[MP2011]

4 off first ball....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why on Earth would they set in India? It's always better to chase with dew and the wickets generally very good for batting.

that is because they lost by chasing in the previous match

 

[Aman]

He was ordinary against INdia last time we toured. Stop trollnig man. Learn from spacecat.

Nah, I genuinely don't rate Munro. He scored runs today but could have been out several times. He usually scores runs against weak attacks and fails against good teams who know how to bowl to him.

India have screwed us by giving him runs.

 

[Space Cat]

That sucks. Hopefully just a minor rolled ankle.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah injured after skidding

 

[MP2011]

that is because they lost by chasing in the previous match

lol, exposed that guy again....

 

[MP2011]

Bumrah injured after skidding

Not a great sign...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Just pack his bag and send him home. I don't want Bumrah to play here. This is just T20.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Why on Earth would they set in India? It's always better to chase with dew and the wickets generally very good for batting.

Nice to see you make excuses now for the Aussies. Don't remember you using the excuse of dew when Indian bowlers were getting lashed.

 

[Test lover]

Ohh no jassi

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Chahal is such a pathetic fielder

 

[Aman]

We're going to take Munro to another WC...

This dude is going to struggle to get to double digits and either get bowled, sky it or pick out a fielder on the boundary.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pathetic . We should not play 5 t20is here. We need to the likes of bumrah for the tests. Let the A team play instead.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Get the bad game out of the way early. Hope they get the right XI next time.

 

[Aman]

Nice to see you make excuses now for the Aussies. Don't remember you using the excuse of dew when Indian bowlers were getting lashed.

Meh, that was an actual phainty.

10 wickets and with overs to spare.

 

[Space Cat]

I love how i rarely post here maybe a only a few times a year but the tradition of Aman arguing with people in the match threads remains as strong as ever.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pathetic . We should not play 5 t20is here. We need to the likes of bumrah for the tests. Let the A team play instead.

yup he doesn't need T20 practice. He is needed for Tests.

 

[MP2011]

No need to risk our most valuable resource for this circus...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even after so many gifts by Indian fielders and Thakur they managed only 203.

 

[Belawal2014]

Pathetic . We should not play 5 t20is here. We need to the likes of bumrah for the tests. Let the A team play instead.

#5 ranked T20i team can't afford to not play their main players. Gotta climb that ladder, Nik.

 

[Aman]

No need to risk our most valuable resource for this circus...

lmao :zaman

 

[jnaveen1980]

I love how i rarely post here maybe a only a few times a year but the tradition of Aman arguing with people in the match threads remains as strong as ever.

It is not a match thread anymore once he enters lol It immediately turns into troll thread.

 

[jnaveen1980]

#5 ranked T20i team can't afford to not play their main players. Gotta climb that ladder, Nik.

I don't care even if we are ranked 10th in T20.

 

[MP2011]

lmao :zaman

lol, the only good thing for someone to cling on and troll incessantly in every match thread....

Is that the only thing you're going to remember for rest of your life? Even when it was not your team?

 

[Aman]

Munro is going to only play until the WC unless he performs. Conway is killing it in domestic cricket and is scoring runs in all forms.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Meh, that was an actual phainty.

10 wickets and with overs to spare.

Yeah right. So dew only matters when others are bowling. Its a phainty when Indian bowlers suffer because of dew

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am more into Under-19 India vs NZ.

 

[MP2011]

I don't care even if we are ranked 10th in T20.

True....

 

[Aman]

Yeah right. So dew only matters when others are bowling. Its a phainty when Indian bowlers suffer because of dew

Did any of India's wins compare to it? Nope.

Anyway enjoy it, Aus will beat you in the summer and WTC Final.

 

[Belawal2014]

Yeah right. So dew only matters when others are bowling. Its a phainty when Indian bowlers suffer because of dew

Settle down there tiger, it was an average performance from #5th ranked T20i team. No need to get upset. Also, before you go on that losing streak rant, blah blah, #1 is still > 5.

 

[Aman]

lol, the only good thing for someone to cling on and troll incessantly in every match thread....

Is that the only thing you're going to remember for rest of your life? Even when it was not your team?

Nah it's funny you called him a valuable resource when he was directly responsible for one of their worst defeats and hasn't accomplished anything meaningful for India in LOIs.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

#5 ranked T20i team can't afford to not play their main players. Gotta climb that ladder, Nik.

We are anyway not climbing that ladder as we don't have the players . Might as well conserve them for tests . Also, nobody remembers T20 I rankings, brother belawal. The most meaningless rankings.

 

[MP2011]

Its idiotic to hold a 5 T20s series, But then its Kiwis we're taking about.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a good test for Indians. They rely on top 3 in T20 as well. Once they are gone game is as good as over. Let us see how they go about it.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Settle down there tiger, it was an average performance from #5th ranked T20i team. No need to get upset. Also, before you go on that losing streak rant, blah blah, #1 is still > 5.

Billu, I was talking about the effects of dew in general and I was talking about the ODI series with Australia and Aman's stance on the matter.

 

[MenInG]

Nz 203/5 (20.0) crr: 10.15

 

[MP2011]

Nah it's funny you called him a valuable resource when he was directly responsible for one of their worst defeats and hasn't accomplished anything meaningful for India in LOIs.

So Bumrah isn't a valuable resource? Proves once more that you're biggest ever troll whose only aim in life is to troll and blabber rubbish!

 

[Aman]

So Bumrah isn't a valuable resource. Proves once more that you're biggest ever troll whose only aim in life is troll and blabber rubbish.

He's good but so far he hasn't done anything notable for India in LOIs and has an ATG L hanging over him.

Didn't Indian Police turn him into a meme?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nah it's funny you called him a valuable resource when he was directly responsible for one of their worst defeats and hasn't accomplished anything meaningful for India in LOIs.

I am sure if Bumrah had bowled to Stokes instead of Boult NZ would have won lol He can't do it all by himself. They restricted NZ to below par total. Batsmen let them down.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Did any of India's wins compare to it? Nope.

Anyway enjoy it, Aus will beat you in the summer and WTC Final.

Australia may well do that. But we won't meekly surrender like minnows like you lot and our dear neighbours did. So there's that.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Its idiotic to hold a 5 T20s series, But then its Kiwis we're taking about.

It's good practice before the world cup that too against the Kiwis

 

[globalcitizen]

Those last 3 overs has brought balance to game. Should be a good match now

 

[Belawal2014]

Billu, I was talking about the effects of dew in general and I was talking about the ODI series with Australia and Aman's stance on the matter.

Nikki, my comment still stands.

 

[Aman]

People going about the 5 T20s - here's some context, tickets were being sold for $90 each and is a really late game, still a reasonably good turnout.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

He's good but so far he hasn't done anything notable for India in LOIs and has an ATG L hanging over him.

Didn't Indian Police turn him into a meme?

By that logic what has any New Zealand player achieved in the entire loi history?
Lol.
Chokers.

 

[Aman]

Top 3 is key.

Rohit and Kohli can chase this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Southee's worst bowling record is against India. Bit like Malinga.

 

[Aman]

By that logic what has any New Zealand player achieved in the entire loi history?
Lol.
Chokers.

Back to back Finalists with Boult the leading wicket taker with Starc in the 2015 WC IIRC. Guptill was the leading runscorer.

 

[jagatk]

You really seem to be the only 1 clinging on to it, even most pak fans seem to have gotten over the win. But then again I suppose supporting a country with so many cup wins as NZ means its only other people's victories that you can boast about.

 

[jagatk]

Back to back Finalists with Boult the leading wicket taker in the 2015 WC.

Remind me what happened in final of 2015 wc?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nikki, my comment still stands.

Regardless, I never claimed we are good regardless in this format . Dew is a big factor in games in the SC and with the 2 new ball rule, ODIs are the most affected.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Back to back Finalists with Boult the leading wicket taker with Starc in the 2015 WC IIRC. Guptill was the leading runscorer.

And i repeat my question yet again.

 

[Space Cat]

Great to see big Hamish Bennett back in the side. He always performed well when picked but had dreadful luck with injuries.

 

[Aman]

Rohit gone.

Yes boi

 

[Space Cat]

Was about to write how it was a dumb move to open with Santner. Got the big wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit what have you done. You should have taken your time.

 

[Aman]

Need Kohli early, he's a beast in bilaterals.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good in a way. We have to get most out of others.

 

[MP2011]

Rohit gone.

 

[jagatk]

Rohit what have you done. You should have taken your time.

We are chasing 200 here, no one can take time.

 

[MP2011]

Poor from Rohit.

 

[Aman]

India are going to go hard, so chances will come.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Sundar may come back in the next match and open the bowling

 

[MP2011]

We are chasing 200 here, no one can take time.

Considering the quality of rest of our bats, he could've taken a bit more time.
