What's new

India [252] defeat New Zealand [217] by 35 runs to win the 5th ODI and win series 4-1

Maybe the broadcaster pressure for a longer game prompted Kane to bowl dibbly dobbly of Colin and Colin :asad1 [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]
 
Really not sure why you're so concerned about India's middle order. It's not like NZ are going to make the semis to be able to exploit it.
I'd rather they carry this middle order to the WC because it's better for us if we meet India in the WC. Rather that than India bring in guys like Pant and Gill who can score quickly and have the talent to win games.

Vijay shankar is a decent test level batsman. we know that already. Just that his bowling is pedestrian.

I want you confidence man,.. you expect India to go to semis with this phattu batting line up:yk2

Even with this middle order (and without Bumrah), India easily won this series. So why do you think it will matter in the WC? The spinners, Bumrah, and the top 3 will be plenty for NZ.

Don't worry. Your boys will bring their 'A' game in WC just like how they played in the first three matches when it mattered.:salute

Ranked #2 in ODIs
W% around 70%, tied with England for 2018

Who can get to the semis over India? England, sure. Pakistan were demolished twice in the Asia cup by an Indian side without Kohli. SA lost 5-1 to India in SA. Australia lost 2-1 to India in Australia. NZ are losing 3-1 (pending) to India in NZ. Who is left?

Keep your expectations high, going to be sweeter when you get knocked out :misbah

Unless you are confident of your team reaching the final you shouldn't be making fun of other teams. Obviously you are not confident.

Eng, NZ, Pakistan, SA have better chance considering England conditions..

It's 2019, not 2005. Conditions in England for ODIs are the same as those everywhere else: flat, 300+ runways.

England should get in. I don't see how NZ or SA get in over India given their recent performances against us. The less said about Pakistan the better.
 
This Shankar guy looks like a throwback to India's batting in 90s.. like Robin Singhs, Jadejas... such mediocrity!
 
God Rayudu please do us a favor and smash Munro out of the team :djb
 
Average score is 200, so India could win this.

Would only make Rayudu's innings look better :dhoni
 
Indian fans are going to curse us during the WC :))
yeah, for wasting their time. Pretty sure your phattus are gonna do a repeat of the first 3 matches again in WC. That has been always your aukaat.:faf
 
Rayudu would drive me mad if he played for us.

Can only imagine.
 
The NZ commentators trying to convince Indian fans on Rayudu :)))
 
Jeez, Kiwis have lot of dibbly-dobblers in their lineup.Will come handy in English pattas along with phaasht-but-short Ferguson.:yk2
 
This ATR guy gets lots of sticks from Indians here, but he indeed has a utility in this team. He is probably the cult hero, who gets lots of hate through out the movie but at the end when he dies, audience do cry :) One ATR is required in this line up at 4 - I was more concerned with MSD until he made a comeback in AUS.

More or less top 6 are settled - RS, SD, VK, ATR, MSD, KJ; with DK as back-up WK and one of Gill, Pandey (Manish), Shaw or KL to make the squad; Pant probably is the loser for DK's resurgence.
 
52 off 86, smash Munro and CdG over and get it to a SR of 90.
 
Any team that concedes any runs to Rayudu has impotent bowling. They will be thrashed in the world cup.
 
Lol you're so burnt man.. Kane is wantedly bowling his weakest guys here
He's literally feeding India the part time bowlers :)))

36 overs bowled - Santner and Astle who are expected to bowl 10 overs each have bowled 4 overs between them.

Why do you think he is doing that?
 
NZ has grand total of one good bowler. They will be thrashed in the world cup if Boult doesn't get wickets.
 
Shankar was pretty good, has the potential I feel compared to Rayudu.
 
Why do you think he is doing that?
He wants to see what they can do in that role (bowling middle overs).

He already knows what he's going to get from Santner and Astle.

If he wanted to get India out he would have bowled those two.

Looks like Boult is bowling slower and dumber so Jhadav could smash him

You see how the two statements are contradictory? Unless you meant to say something else..
 
If Shankar gets the boot and Rayudu stays it would be pretty unfair imo.

Neesham, Santner and CdG are not a lock, but he wants to see what they can offer for the team bowling in these overs.
 
Rayudu dropped.

:))) :))) :))) :)))

Don't care if we lose this match, we've done India bad here.
