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

[jnaveen1980]

Pathetic seriously. Dhoni just go away. Retire

 

[QalandarFan]

He should have retired 2 years back. He is haunting us.

Feel like he should of retired at the WC 2015. I’ve always been a fan of his but he just isn’t the same finisher anymore. Even if he batted like Afridi at this point it would be acceptable but he’s just lost all that hitting ability against the pacers now it seems.

 

[rhony]

Scott styris is the most clueless commie lol He is just hyping these guys looking at the statistics.

Lol. The other commie was worse. He said Rayudu is such an amazing talent

 

[Aman]

Dhoni dropped and it goes for 4 )

Indian fans must be fuming.

And it was CdG )

He has still retained the ability to protect his wicket which is why he is still in the reckoning.

 

[rhony]

NZ hasn't recovered from the shock it looks like. Wides and misfields and dropped catches

 

[jnaveen1980]

A lucky 4 followed by a dot.

 

[Hyperion66]

Dhoni is more like a spiritual baba than a cricketer, can't bat, can't hit, in the team solely to provide blessings and moral guidance.

 

[volcyz]

Useless Dhoni gets another life.

Pathetic player

 

[rhony]

Hmm..I believe you now. CDG has ulterior motives!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

lucky 4, dot, dot

 

[hurricanes]

Aman,For sure after the thrashing we gave last one day, we still are hurting...

 

[Oligochaetes]

NZ hasn't recovered from the shock it looks like. Wides and misfields and dropped catches

It's all part of the larger plan to retain this Indian middle order for the Wc

 

[jnaveen1980]

lucky 4, dot, dot dot - 48th over . Here we have the GREATEST finisher (of his own team)

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Hope NZ absolutely hammers India.

Hope is a dangerous thing mate...
Hope can drive man insane

 

[Oligochaetes]

Dhoni is more like a spiritual baba than a cricketer, can't bat, can't hit, in the team solely to provide blessings and moral guidance.

wahahahahahahahah .hahahaha.. too funny

 

[volcyz]

Dhoni pathetically slogs with all his useless muscle for a single lmao

 

[JattMaula]

Personally I have accepted that dhoni will stay.

 

[Oligochaetes]

I told y'all, MSD will take it till the last over and score a 6

 

[rhony]

310 it is then. Probably 20 runs short but have to see if NZ batters have learned anything after first ODI

 

[Hyperion66]

wahahahahahahahah .hahahaha.. too funny

Truth is funnier than fiction.

 

[Justcrazy]

289 . 4


12 balls . India should look for another 25 runs here

 

[Oligochaetes]

If India win, prepare to see 20 articles about Dhoni in espncricinfo

 

[MenInG]

Stick to nz v ind on this thread

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Jadhav cannot play short ball to save his life. 3 of the most useless guys in the middle order.

 

[Aman]

Another wide, damn.

10 today - that's 10 extra balls...

 

[jagatk]

310 it is then. Probably 20 runs short but have to see if NZ batters have learned anything after first ODI

We are atleast 40 runs short here, but I see NZ screwing up against the 2 spinners, so we will win and have a take 2 of this next game.

 

[QalandarFan]

Man India have done even worse than Pakistan in these last 15 really disappointed by Dhoni’s performance, he pulled a Malik here.

 

[volcyz]

Useless Dhoni with his walking stick cant even put bat on a slower ball

 

[jnaveen1980]

another dot ball

 

[jnaveen1980]

Man India have done even worse than Pakistan in these last 15 really disappointed by Dhoni’s performance, he pulled a Malik here.

He has been doing this for a long time. He was blocking ball after ball and getting booed in the slog overs. Everyone on the ground, commies were stunned. It was almost like match fixing.

 

[Aman]

Dhoni 42 (30)

 

[Oligochaetes]

Dhoni 6 in 48.5 over... two balls earlier than expected!

 

[mohan11]

Dhoni doesn't move at all. He is so static

 

[QalandarFan]

Nice chakka at last from Dhoni!

 

[rhony]

Can't blame Dhoni. Blame Hackidu for that selfish 47 off 49

 

[Hyperion66]

aaaand that customary, face saving, strike rate adjusting six

 

[volcyz]

Would have been out on a bigger ground

 

[Justcrazy]

India has six balls

320 on cards ?

 

[yuvi]

It's amazing how nuch runs Dhoni scores of edges and misfields now a days. Definitely born under a lucky star.

 

[jnaveen1980]

MY worry is NZ losing this because of spinners. That will mask the hole.

 

[Aman]

Strong finish from India's middle order )

 

[Hbomb00]

India to score 14 more runs in last over

 

[happydavy]

Imagine Rayadu, Dhoni and Jadhav chasing 70 runs in 50 balls against a decent bowling attack. India will lose by 15 runs or more in that scenario

 

[Oligochaetes]

India has six balls

320 on cards ?

That should be easy

 

[rhony]

Awesome pickup shot. It was a slower ball

 

[QalandarFan]

India should stop at 317.

 

[volcyz]

Jadhav is brilliant unlike useless Dhoni

 

[Oligochaetes]

49.3

Ferguson to Jadhav, FOUR runs,
49.2

Ferguson to Jadhav, SIX runs,
49.1

Ferguson to Jadhav, FOUR runs,

 

[rhony]

NZ panicking here!!!

 

[Oligochaetes]

MSD needs a 4 to get to another unbeaten 50

 

[volcyz]

Clueless crowd chanting Dhoni most pathetic loser

 

[jagatk]

This is why I don't mind jadhav he isn't a world beater by any standard but he is competent and atleast tries.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ bowled absolute trash. Should have reached 400 easily.

 

[rhony]

Can't blame Dhoni guys...he played a gem.here

 

[Aman]

Decent total and Indian middle order secure for the WC.

 

[QalandarFan]

Dhoni looking for another fifty!

 

[Justcrazy]

325 is the target

 

[Hyperion66]

Must be that beora's decision to send Dhoni ahead of Jadhav.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Does MS have a mole in espccricinfo?

49.6
2
Ferguson to Dhoni, 2 runs, squeezed into the leg side, calls two-two-two and then hares across to make it even as midwicket comes in to fire the throw. Expensive final over, the flourish provided superbly by Dhoni and Jadhav

 

[rhony]

Par is 330 as per commies. Hackidu is the reason they were short

 

[Hbomb00]

India got 7 more than Pak interesting

 

[Oligochaetes]

48 off 33 balls.. phenomenal effort from DHoni... beyond my expectations!

 

[Aman]

Need to bat sensibly and it's game on, how the batsmen play the spinners will be key.

 

[QalandarFan]

India got 7 more than Pak interesting

They got to 200 one over quicker than us. Pretty even finish.

 

[TheSensible]

Strong finish from India's middle order )

Spoke too soon buddy boy

 

[rhony]

Indian bowling should defend this. Dhoni's gonna spin webs with the ball turning

 

[Ramsay]

It’s NZ’s game now. 350+ would have been a winning score. Rayudu royally screwed it.

 

[QalandarFan]

India should win this. Hope it’s a close game though!

 

[Aman]

Spoke too soon buddy boy

I posted that in the 49th over after the two boundaries... This innings has pretty much secured that middle order.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Fluke knock assisted by a drop catch

from 173-2 in 30 overs
We could get just 324-4

Any top team would have got 340-350 on these small grounds

Rayudu should be dropped
Will prefer someone who could even average 35 with a good SR over this impactless guy

Cricinfo is pretty much all csk'ies in commentary.

Dhoni, Rayadu, Jadeja are always praised.

 

[desi_launda]

Below par score but India should win this considering our excellent bowling attack

 

[Babbar]

Dhoni is too much class to credit his power play to his haters!

 

[rhony]

They ain't bad. Indian fans are greedy and just want the 350 hitting ability of England without the 100 all out ability of England at the same time. Replace Hackidu with anybody and this is a gun lineup that can hunt down targets. They got a superb pace attack.and gun spinners (thanks to CT final)

Lets see if NZ can chase this. Then we can believe your statement

 

[Oxfordchamp]

India will go 2-0 ...this is too much for nz

 

[hurricanes]

Need to bat sensibly and it's game on, how the batsmen play the spinners will be key.

Reaching 200 will be the first challenge for New Zealand

 

[Babbar]

India these days prefers to win in a clinical fashion, no more slam bang...

Come a do or die game, I'm not going to back a team which is top heavy and doesn't have the fire power or consistency to recover after a top order has been knocked off early.

If India are chasing 300+ and they lose 2 early, it's game over against any top team.
