What's new

India [324/4] beat New Zealand [234] by 90 runs in the 2nd ODI, lead series 2-0

Looks like a.clear tactic from.Lockie to bounce the Indians out. He needs to wait for Rayudu
 
Kiwis should do everything to prevent Sharma from getting to a 100, as they don't wanna awaken the Hitman lol
 
Excellent display of batting here being put on by India. Such a deadly top 3 they have. Has there ever been a better Top 3 than Rohit, Shikhar, and Kohli in ODI’s?
 
I hope we keep these two batting the entire innings :))

Gotta keep that middle order undercooked for the WC :)
 
Nigel: "Interesting tactic NZ are employing here to keep Kohli from the crease, by not trying to get the openers out"

lol

If you can get into the middle order that is. :yk Boy is it going to be a challenge for any team to get through that top order in the WC as it was in the CT. Seems even more invincible now.

We're gaining from this series than India, we're getting a look at their bowlers and batsmen while finding our best XI. India already have theirs set. That middle order is weak and it will be too late for them to make changes by the time selectors realize it.
 
This place is in the state of Taraunga lol I thought weather would be a bit colder this time of the year 76 degree F

Yeah but if you lose 5-0 that scarring plays in your mind next time you play them. I am hoping it’s a more comeptetive series though. Wanna see Kane come to the party too, love watching him bat.

Kohli doesn't risk it when the series is on the line. I remember him playing the same lineup for 5 ODIs for 5-0 with the same team vs Zim early in his captaincy. He's building a legacy

No one is going to remember this series, if we had gone into the WC without having seen Yadav or Chalal we would have gotten absolutely wrecked.
 
MOST INTERNATIONAL SIXES since JAN '13

300 - Rohit
178 - Guptill
171 - ABD
171 - Morgan

300 Sixes by Rohit in 6 Years😱

I still don’t see NZ beating India in England, in the WC. Forget their bowling the batting is way too strong.

Almost all Indian players are exposed to the world more htan others thanks to IPL. Eveyrone knows about Kuldeep and Chahal.

Kane is the only NZ batsmen who is a guaranteed starter in the IPL. The others wouldn't have seen much of him.

But NZ have seen them before this series. Probably forgot them.

Sri Lankan fans said the same thing after the NZ series
 
Sound of Kohli's bat hitting the ball is distinct. Only guy who has better sound is Yuvraj singh.. That is the sweetest hitting sound.
 
Too many poor deliveries from our bowlers.

Colin shouldn't make the WC squad.
 
Where do all the Indian posters go during the Indian match threads? There should surely be more posters here.
