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

[chazam]

Everything is 1080p in NZ. We live in ultra HD

that's true.... NZ is a beautiful country... its a series of wallpapers

 

[jnaveen1980]

More than 1/3 of the runs have coem from one bowler in 2.2 overs lol

 

[andy0204]

Navdeep saini should be an obvious choice if there is no Bhuvi. Hope Kohli learnt the hard lesson.

If he has learnt the lesson he wouldn't have taken Thakur and Jadeja in first place.

 

[Test lover]

What a pathetic ground in nz

 

[chazam]

Kohli can make wrong decisions but why are you bringing his wife in the discussion... what's she got to do with cricket.. disgusting mentality...

 

[Space Cat]

Catching practice that one.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One hack gets out to another hack lol

 

[chazam]

Proper middle order and late order bats are an issue for us. Kohli being the egomaniac that he is doesn't want anyone who may threaten his place as captain. Dhawans wife and anushka plastic sharma are friends that's why he keeps picking him even if hr has no future until say the 2023 wc. There was no reason for someone like iyer not to play at least 20 Odis at number 4 from 2016 onwards which would have given him assurance and the team stability. OTOH we didn't even stick with a rayudu who had been a middle order mainstay in the wc despite having played there the most leading up to the tournament. Pandey and jadhav type picks are those that are of no threat to existing apple cart so they find favor with him.

Kohli can make wrong decisions but why are you bringing his wife in the discussion... what's she got to do with cricket.. disgusting mentality...

 

[ind_win]

kohli and favourites/biased selections...

 

[jnaveen1980]

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.

 

[andy0204]

Now Thakurs place is fixed.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a flat wicket. May be slightly on the slower side.

 

[Space Cat]

Unfortunately thats enough runs for us to be stuck with Munro for another year.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another one down.

 

[rollingstoned]

Kohli can make wrong decisions but why are you bringing his wife in the discussion... what's she got to do with cricket.. disgusting mentality...

The idea was not to bring his wife into it but to show why he favors someone. No need to be a complete snowflake and get triggered over it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Unfortunately thats enough runs for us to be stuck with Munro for another year.

He is not a reliable player. When a pie bowler like Thakur bowls in the zone he can cash in.

 

[Test lover]

heck CDG gone

 

[Test lover]

Can India restrict nz to 180-185??

 

[sharmaji]

Thanks. Makes sense.

The air quality i guess... I live in Melbourne and though its grey and recently it was smoky because of Bushfires... but on a Sunny day you can see clear sky.. Subcontinent has lots of haze and dust in the air..
also whole of subcontinent is an unending construction zone due to development.

 

[chazam]

The idea was not to bring his wife into it but to show why he favors someone. No need to be a complete snowflake and get triggered over it.

Well you seem to be backtracking from your statement above.. You clearly said he is selecting someone because of his wife. You don't need to be so insensitive as well..

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Dubey is purely on trial mode.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have no confidence in Dubey's bowling even though he goes only for 15 in 2.1 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Irfan is a better commie than this Sanjay Manjrekar

 

[chazam]

I have no confidence in Dubey's bowling even though he goes only for 15 in 2.1 overs

he will be smacked all around the ground in Australian pitches as his bowl will just sit up..

 

[Space Cat]

Oh dear that would of been out.

 

[Test lover]

Why Chahal not on boundary even boundaries are short

 

[jnaveen1980]

oh my god Chahal. What an idiot. lol You have to stand on the fence. It was an easy catch. he was well inside the boundary

 

[MP2011]

I have no confidence in Dubey's bowling even though he goes only for 15 in 2.1 overs

lol, he promptly gets hit for a maximum...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian fielding coach Sridhar must be fired.

 

[chazam]

man these grounds are baby sized.. if Rohit gets going.. it would be fun..

 

[MP2011]

oh my god Chahal. What an idiot. lol You have to stand on the fence. It was an easy catch. he was well inside the boundary

Chahal is a mental midget...And an awful fielder to boot...

 

[rollingstoned]

Well you seem to be backtracking from your statement above.. You clearly said he is selecting someone because of his wife. You don't need to be so insensitive as well..

How about..No? I mentioned his wife is a part of it yes, they are friends. And that is the disgusting tidbit of information for you?

 

[Space Cat]

Dube has actually bowled pretty well considering the ground.

 

[Space Cat]

Ross out there having a net at the moment.

 

[MP2011]

Even Williamson is hitting it at close to 2 runs per ball....

 

[rollingstoned]

Indian fielding coach Sridhar must be fired.

Our fielding has sucked ever since he got appointed. We have dropped catches for fun in all formats of the game.

 

[Space Cat]

Ross with his cheeky back of the bat shot he does.

 

[jnaveen1980]

lol he hit back of the bat for four

 

[Test lover]

Ross out there having a net at the moment.

You said few sec earlier

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami is rusty

 

[andy0204]

Why didn't we hire Jonty Rhodes,Jonathan Trott during Coach appointment?
Instead Bcci picked Sridhar and Vikram Rathore.

 

[Space Cat]

You said few sec earlier

Ive got 3 guys going now with reverse jinxes lol.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is Chahal standing there lol

 

[andy0204]

Why is Chahal standing there lol

Where is that Mean and Green guy?

 

[Space Cat]

Why didn't we hire Jonty Rhodes,Jonathan Trott during Coach appointment?
Instead Bcci picked Sridhar and Vikram Rathore.

And maybe a kids coach to show Chahal the fielding basics.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Super patta wicket. lol You have to say Dubey got away

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India getting destroyed lol. Eden park is the 2nd fastest scoring t20i venue though .

 

[Space Cat]

Bit of old school Ross Taylor coming out here. Ive missed it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India getting destroyed lol. Eden park is the 2nd fastest scoring t20i venue though .

India lacks batting depth. Upto top 3 to do 90% of the scoring

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rose Taylor rolling back the years and batting like he did to end Akhtar 's career.

 

[MP2011]

lol, no wonder we didn't win any WT20 after the inaugural edition..

We are not good enough at international level...

 

[Kingpin786]

Best bowling attack in world getting destoye by kiwis

 

[MP2011]

So many misfits in our T20 team!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India lacks batting depth. Upto top 3 to do 90% of the scoring

We are rubbish in t20is and we have a dreadful record against and in new Zealand as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pathetic stuff by chahal. Seriously. he is such a scaredy cat. bowling wide and short to avoid getting hit for six

 

[andy0204]

I won't be surprised if the Newzealand scores 250.

 

[Space Cat]

Just remember 245 has been chased on this ground lol.

 

[MP2011]

Pathetic stuff by chahal. Seriously. he is such a scaredy cat. bowling wide and short to avoid getting hit for six

He has been found out at this level, at least in T20s...A nothing T20 cricketer...

 

[MP2011]

Just remember 245 has been chased on this ground lol.

That was Australia, no? We're nowhere near that Australian team....

 

[jnaveen1980]

A fearful ball got a wicket lol He was so scared that bhe bowled so wide. Seriously this guy is nowhere close to Kuldeep

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Best bowling attack in world getting destoye by kiwis

Not the best in t20i's. Anyway it's difficult to say who's the best at anything in this format. No.1 ranked team has lost 9 out of their last 12 matches .

 

[MP2011]

No.1 ranked team has lost 9 out of their last 12 matches .

lol, that was brutal....

 

[Nikhil_cric]

A fearful ball got a wicket lol He was so scared that bhe bowled so wide. Seriously this guy is nowhere close to Kuldeep

They are both good in their own ways. This is T20 on a wicket where 240 odd was chased and NZ conditions are terrible spinners.

 

[Aman]

New format and a far weaker bowling line up has certainly helped.

 

[MP2011]

He was so scared that bhe bowled so wide. Seriously this guy is nowhere close to Kuldeep

lol, no wonder Chahal is yet to play test cricket and Kuldeep already has.

With attitude like this, Chahal will never ever play the highest form of the game....

 

[Aman]

Indian bowlers are grossly overrated.

Best in the world *****.

Munro scored runs against them )

 

[Aman]

Are you talking about Chalal not going for the catch? That was really bad.

 

[Zeshan547]

The gap between Bumrah and rest of the bowlers is astonishing, it's like Ferrari vs rickshaw.

 

[Aman]

They are both good in their own ways. This is T20 on a wicket where 240 odd was chased and NZ conditions are terrible spinners.

Yeah, by Aus. One of the most powerful batting line up in the world.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Best bowling attack in world getting destoye by kiwis

Just check the average ER rate, strike rate, avge then say who is better unless you say OZ is better who were taken to cleaners

 

[Space Cat]

I know we are picking on Indias bowlers now but Bumrah still amazes me. Fantastic bowler.

 

[MP2011]

What a legend this Bumrah guy is?

 

[Aman]

Bumrah fortunate that full toss didn't end up in the stands.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian bowlers are grossly overrated.

Best in the world *****.

Munro scored runs against them )

You were arguing for Australia lol But you disappeared when they were getting thrashed last week. Now you are back on the horse on a flat short boundary wicket against a jet lagged team.

 

[MP2011]

I know we are picking on Indias bowlers now but Bumrah still amazes me. Fantastic bowler.

He is best in business, in all formats combined....

 

[Aman]

You were arguing for Australia lol But you disappeared when they were getting thrashed last week. Now you are back on the horse on a flat short boundary wicket against a jet lagged team.

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

 

[MP2011]

You were arguing for Australia lol But you disappeared when they were getting thrashed last week. Now you are back on the horse on a flat short boundary wicket against a jet lagged team.

lol, you're replying him....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah 3 overs 19 runs 5 wides. Impressive.

 

[Aman]

Half century for Shami.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yeah, by Aus. One of the most powerful batting line up in the world.

I hope you are talking only about t20is. Because you went missing as usual when India beat Australia recently, Aman.
