India [245/3] beat New Zealand [243] by 7 wickets in the third ODI, lead series 3-0

[jagatk]

Apparently 260 is par. Thought it was 330 based on last game's commentary

Same pitch used 2nd time in 2 days, won't be as easy.

 

[MP2011]

I think India will be chasing a score in excess of 330-odd.

 

[Mahee]

it is now NZ's game to lose

 

[jnaveen1980]

14 runs 140 means 311 runs. Can they do it?

 

[jagatk]

it is now NZ's game to lose

I suddenly have more hope for India thanks to you.

 

[MP2011]

Chahal sort of panics under the pump. Not sure if he improved

May be. But you can't expect him to do well in every game he plays.

 

[rhony]

14 overs from Kul n Cha and only 1 wicket with both going at 5 rpo..

spectacular!

That's less than par. Par seems 260 to 280. Shami and BK's death bowling is key

 

[jnaveen1980]

So far they have only punished bad balls from Kuldeep Chahal. When they bowl a good one they still are not sure about committing to the stroke.

 

[MP2011]

Taylor upping ante, ominous signs for us.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Off day for Kulddep. Bowling wider balls. Not the same impeccable Kuldeep today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not sure they pick kuldeep with 100% certainty. Last 2 balls he was unsure.

 

[rhony]

Off day for Kulddep. Bowling wider balls. Not the same impeccable Kuldeep today.

8-0-39-0 is off day? Just a tad unlucky. He's done well

 

[yuvi]

Smart batting by NZ today. It's not impossible to play the spinners. Should look to attack the death where India is weak.

 

[jnaveen1980]

8-0-39-0 is off day? Just a tad unlucky. He's done well

IN terms of landing it was an off day. Otherwise the figures are still respectable.

 

[Justcrazy]

for Latham

Very good innings

 

[Shandarchowka]

Latham

 

[rhony]

CHahal Strikes!!!

 

[MP2011]

Good..

Chahal gets Latham.

 

[Nov15]

Rayadu didn't spill that one #miracle

 

[jnaveen1980]

Slow ball.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

NZ should go all out now. No point blocking anymore.

 

[MP2011]

Unlucky way to get out, being caught by Rayudu.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rayadu didn't spill that one #miracle

He was praying and catching simultaneously if you look closely lol

 

[MP2011]

Bracewell should be sent up the order.

 

[rhony]

NZ should go all out now. No point blocking anymore.

They gotto bat 50 overs first. They missed that in the last two games.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Unlucky way to get out, being caught by Rayudu.

??? He is operating under 100 strike rate. He had to go. Chahal slowed it up.

 

[BobbySharma]

Looks like the kiwis have worked out that Rayudu is a slow mover on the field.. Almost every time the ball goes to him, they scramble a two.

 

[yuvi]

NZ should go all out now. No point blocking anymore.

Should wait for the pacers.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looks like the kiwis have worked out that Rayudu is a slow mover on the field.. Almost every time the ball goes to him, they scramble a two.

SLow moving is just one the minus point. picking the ball, Throwing.. lot of other issues lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good thing about these two guys is they keep flighting. They try to deceive batsman in flight. They don't dart like Jadeja or other spinners in the world.

 

[MP2011]

??? He is operating under 100 strike rate. He had to go. Chahal slowed it up.

I was not casting aspersions on Chahal's bowling, rather that he was caught by none other than Rayudu.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a tight single. He ran really fast.

 

[MP2011]

How many will NZ get in last 12 overs, 120? That'll mean a target closer to 310.

 

[rhony]

Good thing about these two guys is they keep flighting. They try to deceive batsman in flight. They don't dart like Jadeja or other spinners in the world.

They are always in the hunt for wickets. Kohli doesnt care about runs contained by these two

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tip and run cricket by Taylor. Almost cost a wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow. As per NZ trainer Henry Nichols is the quickest in the team. Any other batsman would have been run out then.

 

[MP2011]

Well bowled by BK so far.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ is missing Tisera perera's bowling i guess lol

 

[yuvi]

Should attack Buvi. Bit predictable now a days at the death. Mostly using slower balls.

 

[JattMaula]

How many will NZ get in last 12 overs, 120? That'll mean a target closer to 310.

310 is above par.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Should attack Buvi. Bit predictable now a days at the death. Mostly using slower balls.

Until they attack him he should bowl length at normal speed. He unnecessarily bowls slower ball and gets the batsman into some sort of flow

 

[rhony]

Last ball messed up the over. But 6 rpo is decent at this stage

 

[jagatk]

Bad field placement ruining the over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last ball messed up the over. But 6 rpo is decent at this stage

Although it is an edge, line is the reason why it was even a possibility

 

[yuvi]

Can Pandya control the no. of half trackers he bowls

 

[jnaveen1980]

Here we go again. NZ hype machine going on about Taylor haha.

 

[jnaveen1980]

So many third umpire not out today for New zealand

 

[rhony]

Golden Boy Strikes!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

slower ball did him in.

 

[MP2011]

Pandya gets Nicholls.

 

[rhony]

I wonder if Kohli would have picked Pandya to bowl if he was on the field

 

[MP2011]

I wonder if Kohli would have picked Pandya to bowl if he was on the field

Kohli is off the field?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is Bracewell not in?

 

[MP2011]

From CI,

That is Pandya's first international wicket since the first innings of the Southampton Test

 

[MP2011]

Why is Bracewell not in?

Santner is also a good hitter.

 

[Hyperion66]

Shabash Pandu

 

[rhony]

Kohli is off the field?

Yeah. Rohit was captaining for a while there

 

[MP2011]

Well bowled & fielded by Pandya so far in his comeback game.

 

[rhony]

Terrific over by Pandya

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow. Pandya's slow ball bouncers are very deceptive.

 

[MP2011]

Yeah. Rohit was captaining for a while there

I fear all is not well with Kohli.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have not seen the main page. I am guessing someone bumped Pandya vs Faheem thread religiously?

 

[TheSensible]

Yeah. Rohit was captaining for a while there

They should make Rohit the Captain. Dude's got a 100% win record!

It may be ruined for the last 2 games since NZ got nothing to lose and they'll go balls out to win the games.

 

[rhony]

I fear all is not well with Kohli.

Hes got back issues. Hence the rest. He should skip IPL

 

[MP2011]

Hes got back issues. Hence the rest. He should skip IPL

He should but he won't!

 

[TheSensible]

Kohli's had back issues since the Aus Tests. No clue why he's been playing these ODIs tbh. Why risk a significant injury before the WC? It's not like he's been out of form...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hes got back issues. Hence the rest. He should skip IPL

He is the poster boy for his franchise. But i think he should hand over captaincy to ABDV and play just as a player.

 

[MP2011]

If we can get Taylor in next few overs, then NZ won't be able to reach 280-odd.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Kohli's had back issues since the Aus Tests. No clue why he's been playing these ODIs tbh. Why risk a significant injury before the WC? It's not like he's been out of form...

ODIs are not the issue, IPL will be.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli's had back issues since the Aus Tests. No clue why he's been playing these ODIs tbh. Why risk a significant injury before the WC? It's not like he's been out of form...

Its good that he is going home after this ODI. At least then, we'll know what stuff Gill is made up of.

 

[MP2011]

Another great over by BK.

 

[Hyperion66]

I have not seen the main page. I am guessing someone bumped Pandya vs Faheem thread religiously?

Faheem is an archetypal nobody outside PP. Only in Pakistan you can get so many matches riding on practice match performance that too against BD.

 

[rhony]

Pandya will probably finish off Kulcha's remaining overs

 

[Justcrazy]

India will be chasing around 260 here

 

[rhony]

Golden arm strikes again!!!

 

[MP2011]

Pandya gets Santner as well.

 

[yuvi]

Pandya's pace is down

 

[Aman]

We're getting out to nothing balls here.

Not sure what is going on, it's as if the batsmen have forgotten how to bat this series.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandya strikes

 

[MP2011]

Great comeback by Pandya.

How about him being hosted by Karan Johan in another episode of CwK before WC?
