NZ accent is like a constipated version of Australian accent.

This is a cricket lovers dream friday! 3 matches in one day.

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

 

[rhony]

When does Rohit normall launch? After his 100?

40th over

 

[JattMaula]

Nice shot King Ghidora

More like King Gadheda.

 

[QalandarFan]

How about 4! You either forgot WI vs Eng or Aus vs SL. At least for the folks in US.

Yes forgot about Aus/SL that one is barely a match though

 

[QalandarFan]

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.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Master has retired..

Are you talking about the King?

yes King!

 

[Hyperion66]

More like King Gadheda.

Anil sir? Is that you?

 

[jnaveen1980]

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.

And then there was women's final

 

[Tom1]

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.

Nice sour grapes!

 

[JattMaula]

And then there was women's final

That was a good match.

 

[JattMaula]

Anil sir? Is that you?

.....No comments.

 

[jnaveen1980]

151.1 kph he is having such a long time.

 

[JaDed]

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.

 

[Aman]

God dammit.

I hope Rayudu scores 50 off 60 and seals a WC spot.

 

[JattMaula]

Rayudu time!

 

[rhony]

Short stuff works finally. Time for Hackidu to show his true worth!!!

 

[troodon]

Where do all the Indian posters go during the Indian match threads? There should surely be more posters here.

Little interest in watching oldies playing for India.

 

[desi_launda]

No century for Rohit today

 

[JaDed]

Sharma lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well done !! here we go.. Fun begins now.

 

[QalandarFan]

Ahh man I wanted to see a Sharma onslaught.

 

[Hyperion66]

Godzilla gone

 

[QalandarFan]

Little interest in watching oldies playing for India.

Lol what oldies?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Short stuff works finally. Time for Hackidu to show his true worth!!!

He just didn't place it. But he has 100% control over the shot. Just the placement was bad.

 

[QalandarFan]

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.

True but watching Kohli bat is a treat!

 

[rhony]

Think this'll be his last chance

 

[Oligochaetes]

Rayudu Rayudu!
Rayudu Rayudu!
Rayudu Rayudu!

This guy was once a prodigy, He will show us why today...

 

[JattMaula]

Kaptaan tried to do the right thing first ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

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

 

[Aman]

I hope Rayudu scores 50...

 

[JaDed]

God dammit.

I hope Rayudu scores 50 off 60 and seals a WC spot.

I hope you take Southee and bowls trash there !

 

[JaDed]

True but watching Kohli bat is a treat!

Yes in tests and Multi nation tournaments, this is meh.

 

[Hyperion66]

King Ghidora and Rocket Raccoon batting now, Vishma pitama is next.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes in tests and Multi nation tournaments, this is meh.

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.

 

[Aman]

I'm willing to concede a series 0-5 to have this Indian middle order at the WC.

 

[JaDed]

We are losing this match, lets see how bowlers perform with less score on smaller ground.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Poetry in motion

 

[JaDed]

I'm willing to concede a series 0-5 to have this Indian middle order at the WC.

If we beat u here, 5-0 ,we will beat u in WC as well.

 

[rhony]

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 .

 

[troodon]

Lol what oldies?

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.

 

[Hyperion66]

I'm willing to concede a series 0-5 to have this Indian middle order at the WC.

Yeah right, apply aloe on that burn bruv.

 

[jnaveen1980]

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"

 

[Smudger]

Poetry in motion

Ind need 330+ here . Its a really small ground. 66-68m all sides. NZ arent out of the match as some people are thinking

 

[QalandarFan]

Woah this Jadhav guy is 33 I thought he was a youngster.

 

[jnaveen1980]

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

 

[jnaveen1980]

Woah this Jadhav guy is 33 I thought he was a youngster.

That guy is one quick single away from pulling a hammie. So fragile. He is totally unreliable. One of the worst catcher in the world.

 

[BhayanakMaut]

Don't underestimate Kohli/Shashtri combo. They will stick with Ryadu irrespective of his performance today. Or the next game.

 

[Aman]

What a shot from Rayudu.

 

[JattMaula]

Rayudu can't even touch Lockie's thunderbolts!

 

[rhony]

That lucky 4!!!! That's how he survives

 

[desi_launda]

by Rayudu what a player
and another

 

[Justcrazy]

182 . 2


Kohli on the crease .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Luckydu hit the ball with no real timing or conviction lol That 4 should be given to Ferguson as he contributed 100%.

 

[Aman]

If we beat u here, 5-0 ,we will beat u in WC as well.

Yeah, but you wont be winning the WC either with that middle order.

 

[JaDed]

Rayudu Rayudu!
Rayudu Rayudu!
Rayudu Rayudu!

This guy was once a prodigy, He will show us why today...

? When?

 

[JattMaula]

Oh didn't know,I remember that series but not comments , lol@ Stephen though

Pretty Aussie behaviour from Fleming.

 

[Rahul1]

Oh man how bad is this rayudu.

 

[jnaveen1980]

THis is not looking good

 

[JaDed]

Yeah, but you wont be winning the WC either with that middle order.

Is your aim Kiwis lose 5-0 here along with India and Kiwis both not wining WC?

 

[rhony]

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

 

[Aman]

India don't have the fire power to score 350 consistently after the openers.

No firepower after Rohit.

 

[JattMaula]

? When?

He was a very promising better at u19 level but system failed him.

He has remained at that level.

 

[jagatk]

Ind need 330+ here . Its a really small ground. 66-68m all sides. NZ arent out of the match as some people are thinking

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.

 

[jnaveen1980]

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.

 

[rhony]

Is your aim Kiwis lose 5-0 here along with India and Kiwis both not wining WC?

Lol. He's just in shock with that first game still...

 

[Aman]

Is your aim Kiwis lose 5-0 here along with India and Kiwis both not wining WC?

I'm good as long as India don't win.

 

[JaDed]

He was a very promising better at u19 level but system failed him.

He has remained at that level.

The same system which had brought out best among some of U-19 players? Why system?

 

[jnaveen1980]

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

I think he is in there because of Dhoni. Once Dhoni is gone he will be gone as well.

 

[JaDed]

I'm good as long as India don't win.

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!

 

[Aman]

Beautiful forward defense from Rayudu

 

[jagatk]

He was a very promising better at u19 level but system failed him.

He has remained at that level.

Still no reason to punish us for system punishing him.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Woah this Jadhav guy is 33 I thought he was a youngster.

difficult to make out age unless they have white hair or bald patch.

 

[rhony]

I'm good as long as India don't win.

One good thing is you won't be shocked anymore. Now you just know!

 

[Aman]

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.

 

[JattMaula]

The same system which had brought out best among some of U-19 players? Why system?

Oh. System was quite bad 15 years back.

And as he was establishing himself in Hyderabad setup the ICL happened.

 

[QalandarFan]

difficult to make out age unless they have white hair or bald patch.

Yeah considering this guy debuted not to long ago I thought he was like 26-28

 

[Oligochaetes]

Will Rayudu scoring a blistering 100 convince people?

 

[Aman]

One good thing is you won't be shocked anymore. Now you just know!

I haven't conceded this game, ideally you score big and we chase this down.
