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

[jnaveen1980]

When the pressure is on, Kiwis are faltering like they always used to.

NZ consistently punches above their weight. Atleast they used to be home track bullies against opposition. Now they are HTBs only against average and mediocre teams.

 

[Dingolfy]

If he wanted to get India out, he would have bowled Santner and Astle. Those two are wicket taking bowlers.

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

Lol.Santner and Astle are not good enough to get the wicket of any decent spin player from India or even Pakistan.

Rayudu batting at 4 for India in WC

 

[dravidthewall]

Trent boult looks like drop it purpose fully

 

[Sachin136]

Boult wantedly drops Rayudu lol... the plan is clear from NZ.. Operation Rayudu )

Are you accusing these players of deliberately underperforming?

 

[Aman]

Lol.Santner and Astle are not good enough to get the wicket of any decent spin player from India or even Pakistan.

Didn't Santner roll India over in the T20 WC IN INDIA.

 

[MMHS]

If KJadav bats at 48 SR after 20 odd balls, ATR is actually racing with 64 SR - definitely going isn't that smooth there and you don't get a side at 18/4 every day. Another 85, we have a good game at hand.

 

[Aman]

Trent boult looks like drop it purpose fully

Rayudu has had two sitters dropped this series.

A couple of runouts too

 

[Dingolfy]

Misfields again. Kiwis showing their aukaat now and possibly a trailer of how they will play in WC.

 

[JaDed]

Unbearable to see Rayudu play, he would probably only do well only against PCT,Kiwis or Lanka against others he ll defn flop.

 

[Dingolfy]

Didn't Santner roll India over in the T20 WC IN INDIA.

Steve Okeefe rolled over us in Pune and what happened then?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rayudu has had two sitters dropped this series.

Fact that you needed India trying out some new combination to find your voice explains the status of your team. You should be embarrassed to gloat when India is not playing world no.1 bowler and world no.1 batsman. If iw ere a kiwi fan i would be modestly hoping to find some improvement.

 

[Justcrazy]

153 . 5

66 balls left. India would want another 80 runs

 

[Rahul1]

Unbearable to see Rayudu play, he would probably only do well only against PCT,Kiwis or Lanka against others he ll defn flop.

Rayudu is good enough for minnows like our neighbors but not good enough for world class sides.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Are you accusing these players of deliberately underperforming?

no i haven't accused anything

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Nz team is chicken hearted and so are their fans.
Bangladesh team has more chances of winning a WC than kiwis. At least they have that passion and spirit. Ban will beat Nz this WC while kiwis will be collecting yet another fair play award.

 

[Dingolfy]

116 Kph dibbly-dobbler on the 40th over! Jeez, Kiwis have a pathetic bowling dept.

 

[jnaveen1980]

These trundlers will be massacred by Alex hales, Eion morgan for record score.

 

[Sachin136]

Munro's economy is 3.7 while Santner's is 6. And it is well known that Rayudu is a decent player of spin. But some people are still not sure why Kane is underbowling Santner and posting random theories.

 

[Dingolfy]

And even Rayudu dispatches him to SIX.

 

[Dingolfy]

AND AGAIN.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ should take a break from cricket hahahaha

Rayudu hitting Munro out of the team

Rayudu offered two chances in Santners first over...

 

[Shandarchowka]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION].. 1 shot and 2 birds.. Rayudu and Munro

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rayudu hitting Munro out of the team

Just like Perea hit southee out of the team.

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION].. 1 shot and 2 birds.. Rayudu and Munro

25 more runs and this guy will be in the Indian team post WC )

 

[Aman]

Just like Perea hit southee out of the team.

Dude, you're acting like I care. I'm happy to see Rayudu smashing Munro because he's killing his utility value and keeping him out of the WC squad.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Rayudu hitting Munro out of the team

What's the advantage of that?
Your all time eleven can't win a world cup let alone this team.
Bangladesh will knock u out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Astle is the worst leg spinner in the world? 4 drag downs in a row? hahaha

 

[Shandarchowka]

25 more runs and this guy will be in the Indian team post WC )

He looks better than overhyped Gill and Rahul

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dude, you're acting like I care. I'm happy to see Rayudu smashing Munro because he's killing his utility value and keeping him out of the WC squad.

Well your other hack Guptill couldn't score more than 20 against us.So we knocked him out of the team as well

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dude, you're acting like I care. I'm happy to see Rayudu smashing Munro because he's killing his utility value and keeping him out of the WC squad.

You don't really know how silly you sound. You are trying to tell us monroe is in the side as an all rounder not an opening batsman?

 

[Stalin]

This is why Williamson did not bowl Astle. Look how he's being treated.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Brilliant innings by Rayudu!

 

[Justcrazy]

Raydu playing innings of his life here

 

[Dingolfy]

Boy, KIWI bowlers are gonna chase some leather in WC.

 

[yuvi]

He looks better than overhyped Gill and Rahul

Yeah. Better than any other Asian batsman currently. Gill is young will improve. Rahul needs to sort out some technical issues.

 

[Tyler Durden]

If Rayudu scores 100 today, he will surely seal that #4 spot and he deserves it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Why is Astle listed as a batsman in Cricinfo team information ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

This guy is a sure shot now. Atleast let this hack gets some practice.

 

[jnaveen1980]

wide not given. blind umpire

 

[Shandarchowka]

This is why Williamson did not bowl Astle. Look how he's being treated.

2-0-10-0 is treatment?

 

[Tyler Durden]

The real hacks have been Rohit and Dhawan. Best openers in the world? My foot!

 

[jnaveen1980]

How bad you must be to reverse swept by Rayudu lol

 

[Sachin136]

The real hacks have been Rohit and Dhawan. Best openers in the world? My foot!

For failing in two matches? They're easily the best openers in the world, especially Rohit.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have to this Astle is getting lucky with drag downs, full toss. Terrible leggie getting lucky.

 

[Aman]

You don't really know how silly you sound. You are trying to tell us monroe is in the side as an all rounder not an opening batsman?

Munro's spot is under threat, he's bowling overs to see if he can contribute as a bowler so it's worth keeping him in the team hoping he clicks with the bat and can bowl if needed.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Good to see him ambati rayudu performing well.go get them rayudu

 

[Shandarchowka]

I have to this Astle is getting lucky with drag downs, full toss. Terrible leggie getting lucky.

Telling that to yourself with heart on hand?

 

[Aman]

This guy is a sure shot now. Atleast let this hack gets some practice.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Telling that to yourself with heart on hand?

Yes. you are saying those drag downs deserve any respect? Any good batsman would have dispatched out of the ground.

 

[Aman]

10 away from a historic century from Rayudu.

 

[Aman]

Damn

That should be enough to get him into the starting XI for the WC.

Here's hoping the top 3 shield him until the WC KO's.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Damn

That should be enough to get him into the starting XI for the WC.

Here's hoping the top 3 shield him until the WC KO's.

Chasing totals like 200 Rayudu, Dhoni will be enough.

 

[Sachin136]

Top stuff from Rayudu. At 90 runs but still trying to hit out.

 

[Justcrazy]

henry breaks the partnership

 

[Aman]

Jadhav actually looks good, he should be in the starting XI.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Whatever India post now kiwis Wont chase. terrible captaincy. Decent knock from rayudu after struggling initially. Kiwis don't have the bench strength. Need atleast two more bowlers if they wanna compete at wc. Seems kiwis and pakistan have alot in common regarding bits and pieces players. England too in tests. Hopefully we see teams adopt to playing specialists. Seeing bits and peices players breaks my heart.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ landers bowling beamers

 

[yuvi]

Yes, but he's not firing.

Why else is he bowling 10 overs today? They want to see if it's worth persisting with his hit and miss form (it's miss 99% of the time in ODI's) if he can bowl tight or crucial overs. They're trying to evaluate players to see what they bring to the team.

Munroe bowled well today. Better than Ferguson who can only bully teams like Pakistan who can't play short ball.

NZ are testing out players or Southee would have played here.

Guptill is injured so Munro got another chance, they bowled him out to see if he could add value there. Neesham didn't get much of a bowl and CdG is another who needs to be evaluated as an option in the middle overs.

Pretty obvious this is a game to evaluate bowlers first than to win.

10 overs 47 not bad. So he will play? lol

We all know why southee doesn't play. He has his worst career record against India. He was dropped after conceding 25 runs in a single over.

 

[Aman]

Well if he scores nothing with the bat, definitely not.

If he scores he may get into the squad.

 

[Shandarchowka]

4 dots in 45th... Kane didn't bowl Todd in entire innings..

 

[Aman]

He took 7 here against England in the WC... his bowling would have suited here.

 

[Aman]

Everyone knows what they're doing, they're testing the all rounders/part timers here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India doesn't even play Kuldeep today.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Rayudu isn't a bad player, if he played for pakistan he would have been second name on the sheet but we had yuvraj, peak dhoni etc in middle order previously so we have more expectations from a middle-order batsman.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He took 7 here against England in the WC... his bowling would have suited here.

England strugglest against everyone. Not the gold standard.

 

[Justcrazy]

Henry gets one with slow ball.

 

[Aman]

He swung the ball around hoops....

 

[jnaveen1980]

So India is not testing? by restin Kuldeep, Kohli, Bumrah?

 

[yuvi]

Everyone knows what they're doing, they're testing the all rounders/part timers here.

Yeah just like we are testing our middle order. Otherwise our top order is good enough.

 

[Aman]

I never said they weren't?

 

[Shandarchowka]

Pandya getting lucky..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Monsterous 3 sixes in a row hahah Astle so much for testing. Pandya back after a long time. second match. just massacring astle

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandya getting lucky..

yes going over the rope is "getting lucky"

 

[Aman]

Monsterous 3 sixes in a row hahah Astle so much for testing. Pandya back after a long time. second match. just massacring astle

Now it's massive sixes? Before the ground was the size of a bathroom
