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

[Hyperion66]

Lol another one, Pandu is love!!

 

[rhony]

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.

Subtle changes of length and pace. For example Nichols had no other option. He didnt want to leave the ball. Latham was beaten in the flight. Kane got out to a stunning catch

 

[rhony]

Pandya's pace is down

133 vs 138

Can't see the same performance in the WC.

Writing this off as bad form, none of our batsmen have looked good and have gotten out to innocuous balls trying to force the pace.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

India has managed to choke the runrate in death overs by taking wickets. Amazing stuff. Hard to believe this match is in New Zealand, where 300 is considered a small total.

 

[yuvi]

133 vs 138

I have seen him bowl 140+ in SA.

If you are out of excuses, maybe time to credit the Indian game plan

 

[Hyperion66]

That refugee guy needs to get laid man, har thread pe aake rota rahta hai!!

I think Guptill is key. He is out of sorts. Kane has been unlucky. Ross can't carry the team always

Your batting will be fine come world cup but who is going to pick wickets in that bowling unit of yours, they have been poor against India, routinely conceded 300 against SL.

 

[rhony]

I have seen him bowl 140+ in SA.

Hes's playing after a long time. Will get into rythm slowly

 

[Hyperion66]

Good over Bhuv

 

[rhony]

Shami's death bowling credentials are dubious.

 

[Aman]

Taylor is carrying us atm.

Guptill's form is worrying, outside his return match he has struggled since returning.

Need him to get it together before the WC.

 

[Hyperion66]

Arrey pad pe mat dalo re Shami bhai!!

 

[Justcrazy]

213 . 6

36 balls to play with , kiwis need at least 50 runs here.

 

[Hyperion66]

It is impossible to judge after one and half match but I think Bracewell has a better game against spinners, NZ probably missed a trick by not promoting him up.

 

[yuvi]

Hes's playing after a long time. Will get into rythm slowly

Yeah his run up is lacking the usual energy

 

[rhony]

What a catch that was from Pandya to get Kane..

 

[Joseph Gomes]

No wonder Taylor is only second to Kohli in ODIs. Carried the batting by himself so many times for NZ.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Taylor is covering for all the inconsistent batting performance of others. He himself couldn't get going. But he hung around.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last 14 ODIs Taylor 1000 runs averaging over 90

 

[rhony]

Excellent comeback from Pandya. 10-0-45-2 and THAT Catch!!!

 

[MP2011]

Taylor gone now.

 

[JaDed]

Deserved a ton unfortunate.

 

[rhony]

Got him!!! Did he?

 

[Hyperion66]

Well done Pandu!!

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Heartbreaking for Taylor. Missed out on a well deserved hundred. Easily 2x better than any other batsman in his team.

 

[rhony]

Why did he review??

 

[MP2011]

Instead of finding fault with NZ bats, people should learn to appreciate Indian bowlers as these were same bats on same pitches who were hitting SL bowlers into oblivion.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Taylor taking review tips from Pakistan )

 

[rhony]

Thats the difference between 280 and 240 right there

 

[jnaveen1980]

No clue why he reviewed that hahaha Just for checking noball?

 

[rhony]

Shock!! India and bowling?? People can't still believe it

 

[Hyperion66]

Shami may go for runs sometimes but is an out and out wicket taker.

 

[jnaveen1980]

4 catches for Karthik. If you add the one that evaded him once.. New zealanders are edging a lot to the keeper. Shami always has some movement of sort to catch the edge.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need some big overs here

 

[MP2011]

Shock!! India and bowling?? People can't still believe it

Well, they should start associating India with bowling as well. Barring some exceptions, this Indian bowling lineup will give scares to almost any batting lineup in world cricket atm.

 

[rhony]

Shami may go for runs sometimes but is an out and out wicket taker.

He has improved a lot

 

[jnaveen1980]

New Zealand batting powerhouse is up against a smart bowling line up. THen they don't have their leader Bumrah here as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is tailing back for Shami.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

He has improved a lot

He was always a gun bowler in ODIs.

 

[MP2011]

Excellent over that from Shami.

 

[MP2011]

He was always a gun bowler in ODIs.

I remember him doing great in all pre SF matches in WC'15, only to go for plenty in the semis.

 

[rhony]

He was always a gun bowler in ODIs.

With the new ball yes. But had SR issues at death

 

[Hyperion66]

New Zealand batting powerhouse is up against a smart bowling line up. THen they don't have their leader Bumrah here as well.

Not just smart, skillful and best in the business.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not just smart, skillful and best in the business.

Those slow balls are really good from all 3 bowlers.

 

[Hyperion66]

Brilliant over from Shami

 

[rhony]

New Zealand batting powerhouse is up against a smart bowling line up. THen they don't have their leader Bumrah here as well.

Well said. It's a smart bowling unit. They dont over attack or over defend.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

I remember him doing great in all pre SF matches in WC'15, only to go for plenty in the semis.

Can happen to any bowler. Shami delivers 8/10 matches, his average is top notch.

India was absolutley dominating in 2003 world cup until the final where they were unable to bowl on the flattest road .

 

[rhony]

Shami is bowling a lot of slower balls compared to last time he was in the team. Bowling coach should be credited

 

[MP2011]

Sodhi hits a six off Shami.

 

[rhony]

Punjabi power!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Should have bowled a slow bouncer.

 

[rhony]

Lost his balance!!!

 

[MP2011]

India was absolutley dominating in 2003 world cup until the final where they were unable to bowl on the flattest road .

Yeah, Aus has been responsible for ending many our dreams in WCs. I can remember, WC '99, '03, '15. We also ended their WC dreams in WC '11.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli drops a catch lol let us stop the world. In recent times he doesn't drop much

 

[TheSensible]

When will Shami stop bowling bouncers to bowlers??

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yeah, Aus has been responsible for ending many our dreams in WCs. I can remember, WC '99, '03, '15. We also ended their WC dreams in WC '11.

2003/2015 reason India didn't bat first. When you play on a pitch that is absolutely flat offer nothing to bowlers you bat first.

 

[MP2011]

Shami gets his revenge on Sodhi.

 

[Hyperion66]

Friggin tailenders from every team can hit a ball or two only ours are pure duds!!

 

[rhony]

Redemption for Kohli. Will NZ bat 50 overs?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Normalcy is being restored!

NZ are not as weak as we made them look in the first two matches. They whitewashed PAK, SL like minnows

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami got him out twice

 

[MP2011]

2003/2015 reason India didn't bat first. When you play on a pitch that is absolutely flat offer nothing to bowlers you bat first.

Did we win toss in WC '15 SF? If yes, absolutely unpardonable from Dhoni.

 

[Hyperion66]

Shami gets his revenge!!

 

[rhony]

Friggin tailenders from every team can hit a ball or two only ours are pure duds!!

One of Chahal's ambitions in life is to hit a sixer. Go figure

 

[MP2011]

Shami got him out twice

Yeah, as per some Pak fans.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Did we win toss in WC '15 SF? If yes, absolutely unpardonable from Dhoni.

I think they won the toss. In crucial matches you bat first. No matter how good you are a chasing side batting first is like winning half the game.

 

[MP2011]

Bracewell gone as well.

 

[rhony]

Bracewell Gone. Thats another 6 to 10 runs saved. Boult can smash sixers though

 

[MP2011]

I think they won the toss. In crucial matches you bat first. No matter how good you are a chasing side batting first is like winning half the game.

Yeah.

One of the major reasons why we lost CT '17 final as well.

 

[Hyperion66]

Imma lose it if Boult hits six again today!!

 

[MP2011]

We were thinking that we'll have to chase 320-odd and here NZ are struggling to reach 250!

Well bowled by all our bowlers!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Slower balls absolutely killed them.

 

[Aman]

2nd highest partnership 24 fpalm

 

[Hyperion66]

LMAO don't know what to say!!

 

[MP2011]

Yeah.

One of the major reasons why we lost CT '17 final as well.

However not sure whether we'd have won WC'03 had we batted first. But surely, would've competed better against that ATG Aus team!

 

[Aman]

Pathetic batting again, these are nothing balls our players are hitting straight up.

Should have batted out the overs.
