What's new

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

True that.. Best thing that saw today in that order

1) Great 200 by Holder
2) Pat cummins incisive spell
3) Rohit sharma's lazy massacre
4) Imad wasim Cameo

Rain ruined the day for me a bit but nevertheless been a great day binge watching some cricket since 4am and it’s 9pm here now. :yk
 
Where do all the Indian posters go during the Indian match threads? There should surely be more posters here.

Posters would had come had they taken Gill, how many times to see Sharma/Dhawan/Kohli, I think once Kohli is rested more posters would come to see youngsters.
 
God dammit.

I hope Rayudu scores 50 off 60 and seals a WC spot.
 
Short stuff works finally. Time for Hackidu to show his true worth!!!
 
Rayudu Rayudu!
Rayudu Rayudu!
Rayudu Rayudu!

This guy was once a prodigy, He will show us why today...
 
I am going to focus on Australia match. As it is i am watching Aus match on Laptop, NZ match on TV. Cummins is putting up a fantastic exhibition of fast bowling
 
I'm willing to concede a series 0-5 to have this Indian middle order at the WC.
 
We are losing this match, lets see how bowlers perform with less score on smaller ground.
 
I don't care about his 100s in bilateral. But he is such a beautiful player to watch. From that aspect i like his batting in any match.

It's that confidence in every stroke he plays. No doubts .
 
If we beat u here, 5-0 ,we will beat u in WC as well.

Actually NZ beat India 5-2 with dropin pitches prior to 2003 world cup. Fleming had to say this . "We want to keep India's confidence down in the world cup". India hammered NZ and every other team in the world cup except Australia. Ganguly said "It was not a revenge match"
 
Dhoni, Jadhav and Rayadu. Can’t get more boring than that.

As you can see the top 3 will score 80% of the runs. These oldies will kill the momentum and drag the score to a below par one.

Woah this Jadhav guy is 33 I thought he was a youngster.
 
Ind need 330+ here . Its a really small ground. 66-68m all sides. NZ arent out of the match as some people are thinking

Don't care about whether India wins or not. I just want some baggages to fail so that Indian selection comes to senses and pick the talented youngsters.

Oh didn't know,I remember that series but not comments , lol@ Stephen though
 
Don't underestimate Kohli/Shashtri combo. They will stick with Ryadu irrespective of his performance today. Or the next game.

Luckydu hit the ball with no real timing or conviction lol That 4 should be given to Ferguson as he contributed 100%.
 
And then he scores another to keep Gill out. LOL...maybe it's Karma. Hackidu is probably needed to score that scinitillating hundred in the WC final. LOL
 
India don't have the fire power to score 350 consistently after the openers.

No firepower after Rohit.

Anything less than 350-360 and this will be a very easy NZ chase, problem for India is the guy who can hit the big sixes got out before hitting them and these grandpa's ain't scoring 350 without some miracle espncricinfo.com with no pandya.
 
The drop-in pitch had this weird behavior. It was absolutely unplayable on day 1. It got better and better as the test progressed. same happened with ODI. Pitches were dreadful. Even there Sehwag made two centuries. Others hardly scored a 50. That team had Tendulkar, Dravid et all.

I think he is in there because of Dhoni. Once Dhoni is gone he will be gone as well.
 
Lol, that we won't with this middle order anyway, so you should back your team here,coz Dhoni/Jhadav/Rayudu are going to WC!
You don't have firepower but dropping 2 of them will definitely increase your chances. That middle is seriously weak and gives you a chance once you're through the top order.
