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

[Abdullah]

Not really sure how much we can leave for the A/Rs.

They're not consistent and who knows what they'll do today.

Kanes job is to get this to 200 off 44 overs.
He can do as he pleases to get there because you will lose if he doesn't make a score.
Doesn't matter how deep u bat or the time he is taking

 

[yuvi]

Seems dew is kicking in. NZ will win easy.

 

[Justcrazy]

56 runs Partnership so far.

Both batsmen set.

 

[Stalin]

Kuldeep is miles better than Chahal.

 

[yuvi]

We are missing strike bowlers Kuldeep, Bumrah.

 

[Aman]

So so dumb by Kane.

Time for the A/Rs to step up.

 

[Stalin]

terrible way to get out.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Williamson is so weak!

 

[Joginder_Sharma]

Lol Jadhav's dance after bowling an absolutely rubbish delivery and getting a wicket.))

 

[Shandarchowka]

Babar will wipe the floor with this mental midget anyday

 

[Tridibans_16]

Now I feel we are winning this

 

[boomboomcheema]

Kane Williamson is so poor in Odis and no match for Kohli and Smith.

 

[boomboomcheema]

What a great time to get dismissed, just when the asking rate has touched 6 rpo.

 

[Justcrazy]

Williamson gone , India back in the hunt

 

[Justcrazy]

Kane Williamson is so poor in Odis and no match for Kohli and Smith.

No one is match with Kohli in OD

 

[abhay]

Babar will wipe the floor with this mental midget anyday

why didn't he do the wipe last year when he had the chance?

 

[happydavy]

Bhuvi is Australia ODI series - 8 wickets at 17 with strike rate 21

Shami in Aus ODI series -5 wickets at 30 with strike rate 35

For some reason Indian fans are extremely biased against Bhuvi to the extent it seems staggering. Any excuse to want him out

When it comes to test, Ishant's RECENT form is considered for him to be selected over Bhuvi, Bhuvi who has a career average of 26 in tests after over 20 games. But when it comes to ODI's recent form is not

Pace is often touted completely ignorning his increase in pace. In fact he was the fastest bowler last match, on par with Pandya

Some sort of ridiculous biasedness

Bhuvi 103* matches, 113 wickets
Shami 59* matches, 108 wickets
The reason for this bias is called 'wicket taker'

 

[Aman]

Up to Latham to guide this chase.

 

[introvert]

Pathetic innings by Williamson

 

[TheSensible]

NZ isn't going past 200 from the looks of it lol

 

[Aman]

NZ isn't going past 200 from the looks of it lol

Still some batting left, it's whether they show up or not which is the issue.

 

[SamNJ]

Kane has to open for NZ thats the only place for a batsman like him. May be Munro can be pushed at no. 6.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Lol Jadhav's dance after bowling an absolutely rubbish delivery and getting a wicket.))

I how he gets these wickets is a mystery for me. He has no skills, just a part timer but still
His bowling avg is quite impressive and he seldom disappoints.

 

[Sam99]

Bhuvi 103* matches, 113 wickets
Shami 59* matches, 108 wickets

He is big time bhuvi fan. If you ask him who is better bhuvi or bumrah then expect bhuvi as answer.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is over 6 now. India would be looking to put it up further.

 

[Aman]

That was outside the line?

 

[SamNJ]

Jadhav bowls half trackers with batsman having a year to decide where to hit and in the end they end up hitting it to a fielder.

 

[Aman]

What was that?

pitching outside.

Shocking, no review again.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Nz team is overrated.

 

[Joginder_Sharma]

119/5

 

[Stalin]

Pathetic Cricket from New Zealand today. Should have reviewed the Taylor one and now Latham too .

 

[Justcrazy]

Chahal strikes

 

[boomboomcheema]

Well Done Latham follow the Captain.

 

[Aman]

Nvm that was out.

 

[Tridibans_16]

pitching outside.

You guys are horrible. Losing to India D team without Kohli, Bumrah and Kuldeep.

 

[Aman]

Nah, it was out.

 

[Aman]

Where was this excuse when you were beating Aus without their 2 best batsmen?

 

[Joginder_Sharma]

CDG is suspect against googly.

 

[RamLakhan]

You guys are horrible. Losing to India D team without Kohli, Bumrah and Kuldeep.

That too after giving toss decision advantage also! Still couldn't capitalize... These are practice matches for India though!

 

[Aman]

Just don't know what you're going to get from the A/Rs.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Interesting game, I thought NZ will chase this easily, bu they have lost their way in the past half hour. Can their all rounders get em home?

Home smashes Pandya for 2

 

[Aman]

That too after giving toss decision advantage also! Still couldn't capitalize... These are practice matches for India though!

We gave India 100+ runs, if Kane wanted to end it he would have bowled Boult and Henry out and then used Santner and Astle in the middle when India were looking to accumulate.

None of his bowling rotations were optimal and had the upcoming WC selections behind it.

 

[SamNJ]

All in all, Aus with their D team gave India tough time. NZ on the other hand have got totally owned.
NZ are not a sure shot SF contender imo.

 

[Tridibans_16]

Where was this excuse when you were beating Aus without their 2 best batsmen?

True. We are a bad LO side. Which proves my point, how terrible you guys are

 

[jnaveen1980]

Too much dew. Chahal balls don’t turn as much

 

[Aman]

Good thing to come out of this is Munro and CdG failed, hope neither waste a spot.

 

[Justcrazy]

spin doing damage again for kiwis

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wrong un

 

[Joginder_Sharma]

CDG is suspect against googly.

And gone against Straighter one / Googly.

 

[Aman]

Neesham, Santner, Astle and Henry, need them to see us home.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hard to grip the ball Credit to Chahal forlanding them well

 

[Unleashed]

Can't beat India even when we are without Bumrah, Kohli and Kuldeep. Our three world class players. Smh

According to Aman, they're just warming up and this is a fluke so this is all according to plan.

 

[Tridibans_16]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] I have nothing against the Kiwis bro. If anything they are a likeable group. Its fans like you with so many excuses (just saw your posts after the 1st ODI) that makes us feel weird. I mean, there is poor display, then there is this performance against a poor Indian side.

It's funny Indians go after me then throw the same line of playing your d team when you were all offended by the notion of Aus being weakened without their two best batsmen.

Both teams have treated this like a warm up, India batted first again when conditions were good for bowling and NZ used their A/Rs in the middle when they should have looked to bowl India out for under 100 again.

 

[jnaveen1980]

No issue with other India opting to field first as it is a good challenge for them to defend dewnconditions

TBF I'd quit watching cricket if i start praising our biggest cricket rivals in order to hide the pathetic performance of my team. I really feel for you.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One thing is clear 2019 world Cup belongs to wristies

 

[Aman]

Cricket is a secondary sport here, there isn't much of rivalry in cricket because of the wide gap in quality and interest.

 

[TheSensible]

They're too far out. If they were closer to 200, I'd give NZ a chance. It's an inevitability now tbh.

 

[Aman]

If they can handle the spinners they can do it. Neesham is pretty solid, not sure of him against quality spin though or in a situation like this.

They need to be able to finish games in these positions, there isn't that much run rate pressure.

You can ignore his posts too. Kyun trigger ho rahe ho faltu mein?

Lol. You're losing it pal . How does it matter that "Cricket is a secondary sport" for the rivalry?
Even in England, Cricket is secondary but their rivalry with Australia is well known.
Atleast speak with a meaning.

If there isn't much fan fare obviously it's going to hurt it. The little that is there is more a sibling thing and it's one sided. Aus expects to beat us, they don't see us as rivals.

It's kind of like the ABs-Wallabies in rugby but with interest, the rivalry is not really there anymore because we expect to beat them and we do.

 

[Belawal2014]

India have bossed this series.

 

[Justcrazy]

102 from 16 overs but just 4 wickets in hand

 

[Stalin]

Just get Neesham and game is in the bag.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Neesham and Santner can win this for NZ... just need to rotate strike well.. boundaries will come

 

[boomboomcheema]

Neesham, Santner, Astle and Henry, need them to see us home.

You have a lot of hope from the All Rounders, more than that you have from Kane.

 

[Aman]

They're capable of it, whether they do it or not is another thing.

 

[boomboomcheema]

But Problem is ten overs remaining from Shami and Bhuvaneshwar. They will not be easily to score against. Needed some Fifth bowler overs.

True that... Wonder why NZ doesnt play as a part of Aussie domestic circuit. They should do that...

 

[Banter]

Still NZ's game to lose, as long as they keep their heads.

 

[ravisurya]

Neesham looks like such a good cricketer, not sure why he isnt a constant fixture in this kiwi team.

 

[Stalin]

Misfield

 

[Shandarchowka]

Shami is being smoked.. lol

 

[Shandarchowka]

Wow Neesham looks better than some of NZ's top order batsmen!

 

[Oligochaetes]

India need Neesham's wicket to win

 

[boomboomcheema]

They're capable of it, whether they do it or not is another thing.

You are a genius bro

 

[Oligochaetes]

Jadhav might be a threat, see him off
