What's new

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

Ian smith is at his wit's end to explain this lol He was super confident after first match that NZ will never see a drop in performance again.

Ian Smith makes me empathize with Aman.

If that's their home commentary, I can see that making him bitter.
 
Didn't know NZ set the world record of highest runs in a series against Srilanka. They made 1054 runs against Srilanka !!! wow

They have to be the most biased lot I have heard, even the channel 7 guys sound unbiased in comparison to this lot.
 
Don't know who this commentator is, but he's dumbfounded by NZ batsmen's ability to score and their performance in the 3 games so far, and is talking about everything, except that MAY BE, Indian bowlers are just that good.

You can't get lucky 3 games in a row like that if it weren't for the bowlers...
 
They found the way to counter Wristies as series went on. Let's see how both of them do to prepare for English batters in WC.

You can never be safe against wristies. You could dominate a match or two You could struggle against them in the next match.
 
Do compare the stats of Aussie bowlers to India before sharing link. Only bowler who would get into current India side is 2015 Starc.

I do not need to compare anything, even James Faulkner their 5th seamer had better average then Bhuvneshwar Kumar who is one of India front line bowler. Shane Watson was way better than Hardik Pandya. I don't need to bother explaining the rest.

You are saying Hazlewood, Starc, Johnson, Faulkner will do well everywhere? you gotta be kidding

Yeah just bizarre. Junior is stupid but the Aussies also have some reasonable commies unlike this lot.

???? Bhuvaneshwar is the worst bowler in Indian bowling, he's playing because Bumrah isn't. Please explain the rest lol.

No! You don’t need to bother explaining.

No, I do not know how they will do in every single places and I don't think that's important. I do however know that they destroyed two of the best teams at that time in WC Semi and Final which is worth more than countless ODIs being played everywhere. Their 5th seamer had better average than India's one of India's front line bowler. Their allrounder at his peak was the best ODI all rounder in this century.

On the other hand, the current India bowling attack(give and take few players) gave away over 330 runs to Pakistan in a CT Final.
 
Pandya boy is just showing how valuable he is to the team. Great going
 
Starc has declined in all formats. He used to average below 20 couple of years ago. Still the best ODI bowler of the decade for me.

All of Starc's records have an asterisk next to it.

His decline has coincided with missing sandpaper.

Your (give or take) is where the actual difference is. Kulcha vs Ashjaddu.
 
NZ is going through a rough patch of form. Top order not clicking. I guess better now than in the world cup. India have peaked early,m I can see another cup ending in tears

Last year

7 average 37.36 ER of 6.13

In 2017

He did well only against Bangladesh and Pakistan

He had a couple of good years. May be sandpaper is not there to help him anymore

They scored 1000 plus runs against Srilanka lol It is not allowed to click. Batting won't automatically click.

Shane Watson was never ever considered the best odi A/R let alone of this century. All 1-2 games in home conditions albeit at the biggest stage don't make a bowling greatest, otherwise debashish mohanty and venkatesh prasad would be considered better bowlers than akram and akhter because how they played against Pakistan.
 
They have decided to carry him even if he's on crutches.

Maybe the management has seen something that the fans haven't.

Not giving an opportunity to Gill is criminal though! He should play the 4th and 5th games. But somehow I think even though Gill might play in the XI, he wont get to bat much.
 
???? Bhuvaneshwar is the worst bowler in Indian bowling, he's playing because Bumrah isn't. Please explain the rest lol.

Sure, we can certainly discuss when the current Indian bowling lineup wins a crucial WC Semi and Final instead of giving away 330+ runs to Pakistan in a Final.
 
we are not expecting india to win the wc.
we know our middle order is weak.
we will happy if we make semis.

Yea, disaster we are not playing Pant/Gill surely even Shaw wont be taken if he was available. I think we need to wait till WC.

Maybe they need a No.4 who can score 35 to 40 runs at 80 to 90 SR. I don't know man. We are all trying to find reasons why he is in the team

Are you teling me this line up played in the CT Final? lol Kuldeep and Chahal came into picture only after that match.

Gill if he plays will bat at 3.
 
How is it aimed at Taylor, he is just expressing his frustration you guys need to get out of this victim mentality.


Hold on what...who is acting the victim? I was making a joke, i personally have no issue with Sarfraz ban, PCB should have banned him in the first place.

But who is he calling BC? He is calling the batter BC or the umpire...basically what he said "if it hit the bad, then he was in front BC" that is either directed at the batter or umpire...nonetheless it is a trash mouth for no reason whatsoever...
 
NZ picking up steam. Hope they score 320 for a good match
 
Feeling pity for Rayudu now, kinda feels like he knows he might not be in team and is under tremendous pressure, he should Learn from Rahul who after having a disastrous overseas tours still went like a stud on Koffee with Karan.

Pakistan lost to freaking Bangladesh in Asia Cup lol. Flukes can happen once in a while. Doesn't change actual fact.

It's a bit sad when a BD fan has to resort to another team in order to malign team india. Carry on. I just find it a bit ironical. :D

Another prediction from the inhouse nostradamus, good good.

Also just to get you into reality, since the CT loss India have played 11 series including this one, only lost series was against England in England. That is one long peak.

This is a 320 pitch. These guys know the angles , dimensions of the ground eyes closed. Generally they steamroll any bowlers here. But they are struggling big time to get going. Now they are moving on. i think once the ball gets older they might start hitting.
 
Taylor's on the move. He's been in rocking form for a few ywars

Basically lost the one series that matters - against England in England.

It is a way people speak in Mumbai, mc-bc is like the f-word for us, it can be used to express any emotion.

They should. I am hoping india to win but rayudu must get exposed.
 
Your (give or take) is where the actual difference is. Kulcha vs Ashjaddu.

Bumrah was playing though. India has been trying various different combination including that of Khaleel Ahmed and Umesh Yadav.

India will not be able to play both Kuldeep and Chahal together for that long. Come WC time, it has to be either Chahal or Kuldeep. Every team is going to bring their A game in the tournaments including WI who was hammering on average 300+ runs in the first three games before losing consistency in India.

Your point is we wont make it to semis in WC? Please be clear on what you are saying?

Thank you didn't know there was 1 series that mattered over others odi bilaterals especially for pak supporters when it isn't even their team playing, you learn new things on pp everyday.

No. On dry pitches in Eng, It will be Bhuvi/Shami, Bumrah, Kulcha, Pandya. Thats the lineup. What makes you think India isn't bringing their A game. They've been winning without their gun players. Asia cup without Kohli, Bumrah's been rested for a few. Bumrah didn't play Eng series

Oh yes the usual they haven't had bad games yet but come world cup they suddenly turn rubbish, bd fans being bd fans, how's the nagin dance going these days.

Let this weak Indian bowling unit win against mighty Bangladesh. Bangla has been thrashing this weak Indian bowling since a couple of years and winning matches against us for fun with their D Squad.
