India (349/8) defeat New Zealand (337) in a cliffhanger to win 1st ODI by 12 runs

[MP2011]

He said 'anyone but him'. That anyone can be Deepak Chahar, Jaddu. Personally I would like to have Samson in the team and play Surya as a finisher. We don't need Hardik-ul-Haq in ODI team. His bowling is useless on Indian pitches and world cup will be in India. He should stick to T20s only.

He can't comprehend simple English, let him revel in that.

Indeed. Likes of Jadeja would be such an upgrade over the show pony.

 

[MP2011]

100 for Bracewell.

Jaddu is injured. Chahar cannot come in at 5.

Anyone but him my foot.

 

[MP2011]

Venketash Iyer should have been given more chances than he was.

 

[arunpsm]

Mannnn stand and deliver from bazball bracewell. Scary to say the least.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Indeed. Likes of Jadeja would be such an upgrade over the show pony.

Especially on Indian pitches Jaddu is a must.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Really poor bowling from eveyone except Siraj. They don't know what to do when the pressure is on. Bowling full tosses, length balls is a recipe for disaster when a batsman is in beast mode.

I don't know how many full tosses Shami has bowled.

 

[MP2011]

Our players do crack under pressure and hence the lack of trophies in our cabinet.

 

[oatmeal]

NZ will win it if Bracewell doesnt get out in the next couple of overs

 

[Champ_Pal]

Venketash Iyer should have been given more chances than he was.

Dude is a hack and his bowling is a joke. There is a reason he is not even in the selectors radar.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Jaddu is injured. Chahar cannot come in at 5.

Anyone but him my foot.

LMAO. Where did I say that Chahar should come at 5? I already mentioned Samson will be my choice with Surya at 6 and Jaddu/Chahar at 7. Jaddu is currently injured but he will most probably be fit for the world cup.

 

[MP2011]

Dude is a hack and his bowling is a joke. There is a reason he is not even in the selectors radar.

And Pandya isn't a joke, well done.

 

[MP2011]

Poor bowling from everyone, even Siraj.

Even Santner is allowed to flay every bowler.

 

[oatmeal]

Only one over each from Shami and Siraj to go.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ need 65 runs from 6 overs. Quite doable.

Typical Kiwi fighting spirit.

 

[Champ_Pal]

LMAO. Where did I say that Chahar should come at 5? I already mentioned Samson will be my choice with Surya at 6 and Jaddu/Chahar at 7. Jaddu is currently injured but he will most probably be fit for the world cup.

You need additional bowling options when your bowing is weak without weakening the batting too much.

Anyway, I know both you and MP guy are Pandya and Pant haters. So no point arguing with haters.

 

[MP2011]

Anyone citing our selectors as wise ones, isn't worth arguing with.

 

[Champ_Pal]

And Pandya isn't a joke, well done.

Pandya has proven at the highest level many times before.

 

[sweep_shot]

Hardik had a bad game with the ball.

4.1-0-46-0.

 

[MP2011]

Bracewell hit 127* in a successful chase of 301 v Ireland last year. Came in to bat at 120/5 on that occasion.

 

[MP2011]

Good over so far from Pandya.

 

[sweep_shot]

Tidy over. Just 2 from it from 4 balls.

 

[MP2011]

Need at least 2 quiet overs.

 

[Devadwal]

Mehndi,shanka now bracewell .

 

[JaDed]

Top game this, chasing sides usually win these.

 

[Devadwal]

Im remembering Aston Ager innings where he won a series against india in India

 

[Champ_Pal]

Excellent from Pandya.

 

[Smbhayi]

Thats a good over by pandya

 

[MenInG]

Brilliant over by Pandya - nailed it to perfection.

Love the fight but unrealistic to expect NZ to win this.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Batting under lights seems to be a lot easier. Ball is coming very nicely onto the bat. Kiwis are favs to win this.

 

[Smbhayi]

Siraj's last over..

 

[MP2011]

Dot balls are like gold dust at this stage.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is a thrashing of the highest order in the latter stages of the innings. The worst thrashing was that delivered by Australia in Mohali in 2019.

Then we conceded 182 runs in the last 20 overs of the chase- highest ever conceded. Today might break that.

 

[Smbhayi]

Batting under lights seems to be a lot easier. Ball is coming very nicely onto the bat. Kiwis are favs to win this.

India are favourites here.. still plenty of runs needed..

 

[MP2011]

Except for his last over in which he conceded 11, Siraj is great with ball today.

 

[MP2011]

Santner gone.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

You need additional bowling options when your bowing is weak without weakening the batting too much.

Anyway, I know both you and MP guy are Pandya and Pant haters. So no point arguing with haters.

Pandya, Jaddu and Chahar all of them have almost same batting average but Jaddu and Chahar are much better bowlers than Pandya in ODIs. Indian team needs Jaddu more than anyone on Indian pitches. It has nothing to do with hate, I can also say that you are a Pandya f@nboy. You asked about the guys who can replace Pandya in ODIs and I gave some names. He is a very important player in T20s but ODIs are different. He is inconsistent and his tuk tuk isn't going to help India in the long run.

 

[Champ_Pal]

India needed Bracewell more. But they will take Santner for now.

One over of 17 runs again and Kiwis will be firm favorites.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bravo, New Zealand.

They did very well despite missing some of the main players.

56 runs are needed from 26 balls.

 

[oatmeal]

NZ are favoured till Bracewell is at the crease

 

[MP2011]

Siraj takes Shipley too.

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

294/8.

 

[Champ_Pal]

This Shipley guy is mediocre.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shipley gone and NZ's ship has started to sink.

 

[Devadwal]

Bravo, New Zealand.

They did very well despite missing some of the main players.

56 runs are needed from 26 balls.

This pair played fearless cricket as they have nothing to lose after 5 wickets like shanka innings

 

[MP2011]

Siraj's stock keeps taking a hike.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shipley gone and NZ's ship has started to sink.

Bracewell is still there. He is on 108*. He can still win it but India are favorites.

 

[MenInG]

Brilliant Siraj - India on top now.

 

[Smbhayi]

India were 299/6 after 46th over.. not much run difference there..

 

[oatmeal]

Great bowling by Siraj!

 

[Smbhayi]

Bracewell is still there. He is on 108*. He can still win it but India are favorites.

He's struggling to time the ball after the 100..

 

[Champ_Pal]

Local hero Siraj performs brilliantly in front of his home fans.

 

[MP2011]

Pandya concedes 6 off his first ball,.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six!

Bracewell is fighting.

What a knock this has been! 114 runs from 66 balls.

 

[Smbhayi]

He's struggling to time the ball after the 100..

And he hit a six..

 

[Champ_Pal]

This will be the deciding over.

Bracewell must be kept off the strike.

 

[Champ_Pal]

And he hit a six..

He was also kept off the strike.

 

[MP2011]

Another poor over from Pandya.

 

[oatmeal]

Bracewell is single handedly keeping NZ in the game. What an innings

 

[MP2011]

Don't know how can anyone back him with a straight face!

 

[Smbhayi]

Thats a poor delivery..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a spell from Pandya

 

[sweep_shot]

Another six from Bracewell.

41 runs are needed from 3 overs.

 

[Champ_Pal]

There is no stopping of Bracewell today. He is timing everything to perfection.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

6 overs 66 runs

 

[sweep_shot]

Only if NZ had 2-3 extra wickets! They could've chased this down. This should be too much now.

 

[Smbhayi]

And poor game awareness by Bracewell.. should've tried to retain strike..

 

[MP2011]

What a spell from Pandya

Match ka mujrim?

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

37 are needed from 17.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kiwis bat deep.

Shami offering too much width.

 

[MP2011]

Bracewell has the strike now.

 

[oatmeal]

Ferguson is no mug with the bat

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kiwis still favs as long as Bracewll is there.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Ferguson is no mug with the bat

They are not like Indian bowlers who cannot score 10 runs to save their lives.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shami should not bowl at the death. This is why he does play T20's.

 

[shariqnoor]

Beasty. The most apt nickname I've ever heard.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six!

Big over.

NZ need 24 runs from 2 overs.

 

[MP2011]

What poor bowling from Shami!

 

[sweep_shot]

Bracewell is on 133* from 74 balls.
