India (97/2) defeat Ireland (96) by 8 wickets, starting their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a comprehensive win

[The Bald Eagle]

ANother wide donated by Arshdeep. Good boy

Lol... What about his wickets

 

[Croma]

Another wide by generous Arsh

 

[Champ_Pal]

The pitch is a disgrace.

 

[MANU ROY]

This is arsh issue if he bowl wide he continue that

 

[Human786]

Arshdeep will get slaughtered on flat decks . 26/2 in 5

 

[Croma]

Lol... What about his wickets

Those were good for the team

 

[Devadwal]

Very poor over by Singh

 

[shortbread]

Pakistan especially Shaheen will enjoy these conditions. New ball is swerving around.

Shaheen, Naseem Shah, Amir, Haris Rauf will be unplayable in these conditions

On the flip side, Azam Khan might be a walking wicket on Sunday, especially against the pacers!

 

[Croma]

Horrible over from Arshdeep. 13 runs donated on a helpful pitch. Rohit bring on Bumrah.

 

[Devadwal]

How that Ball Miss the stumps

 

[Croma]

How that Ball Miss the stumps

went above

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is an unfit pitch.

 

[Human786]

Bumrah - 4ever a GOAT . maiden over

 

[Croma]

Maiden over from world's best all-format bowler.

 

[Croma]

expecting Hardik to bowl next

 

[Human786]

What an absolute disgrace of a pitch.
And guess what, India always win's tosses on such pitches.

love conspiracy theorists

 

[kingusama92]

These conditions will become a great equalizer for Pakistan against India.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Bumrah - 4ever a GOAT . maiden over

Good bowler

 

[The Bald Eagle]

These conditions will become a great equalizer for Pakistan against India.

Only batting our headache

 

[jnaveen1980]

This could injure some batsmen. These drop-in pitches can be like this. I remember way back in 2002 NZ used drop in pitches for Tests and ODIs when INdia toured. Teams struggled to cross 100 runs in each innings. That team had guys like Tendulkar, Dravid etc. Whoever batted last had the advantage in the test series.

 

[RidiculousMan]

These conditions will become a great equalizer for Pakistan against India.

Someone will get injured.

 

[AAli98]

What’s Ind fans expectations for this cup? Are they still traumatised from last World Cup.. is Kohli sharma playing for commercial reasons? Can they score in a ko game?

 

[Human786]

28/3

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am sure Kohli will stand 2 feet outside the crease against Pakistan lol After pitching nobody can predict what happens. Either it scoots or goes over chest.

 

[Croma]

Bolwed! Hardik striked

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pathetic pitch. Sunny G saying this is not the pitch to drive or lean in. Then what is this pitch for? To survive?

Disgraceful from ICC.

 

[kingusama92]

Someone will get injured.

Definitely pathetic from the ICC.

Hosting a WC and producing conditions like this is embarrassing for a major tournament.

 

[RamLakhan]

Pandya is always gold (priceless for a SC Team - a pace bowling alrounder) even if he is covered with impurities & dust! Polish him and use him, he will be worthy!

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is where left handers are invaluable. India might play Jaiswal against Pakistan.

 

[Croma]

Very boring game.

This kind of cricket won't attract any Americans to the game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Keeper has to be very good here as ball does all kind of trickeries.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very boring game.

This kind of cricket won't attract any Americans to the game.

Drop in pitches are never batsmen friendly as far as i know. It will take a while to settle down.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Definitely pathetic from the ICC.

Shaming them is not enough. They need to make decisions and forfeit play on this ground. Move the rest of NYC matches somewhere else.

 

[Human786]

These conditions will become a great equalizer for Pakistan against India.

said this yesterday ...

 

[Croma]

Tector 2(13). Good defensive batting. Should look to survive till lunch

 

[jnaveen1980]

If there is one guy i would back on a pitch like this that would be Rishabh Pant. Generally he takes the pitch out of the equation when he bats. He can come off.

 

[Croma]

Bumrah doesnt bowl yorkers in his first spell?

 

[Rana]

Guys with the extra power key on this wicket

Campher looking much better than the others

Klaasen the other day was the best batter on show

 

[Human786]

IND having 4 spinners in squad is 1 too many imo . 36/4

 

[RidiculousMan]

You're suggesting we open with Azam Khan against India?

 

[Croma]

36-4 (8)

Spinner time?

 

[jnaveen1980]

IND having 4 spinners in squad is 1 too many imo . 36/4

Mostly for WI pitches .

 

[Croma]

Woah!

 

[MANU ROY]

What a stupid pitch icc want to spread cricket in us with this pitch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Full balls will travel here. You just have to keep the ball a touch shorter.

 

[Croma]

5 down

 

[jnaveen1980]

India bowled poorly today despite 44/5

 

[Human786]

Campher shaheed ho gaya - will they get 110 ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

10 extras is criminal

 

[RidiculousMan]

What a stupid pitch icc want to spread cricket in us with this pitch

You know what. A lot realizes on today's result. If India wins today. Nothing's going to happen and we will see matches on this NYC pitch. But if India loses today then they will bash ICC and get NYC stadium banned from this WT20.

 

[Asad T]

What a stupid pitch icc want to spread cricket in us with this pitch

That's the issue with drop in pitches, you will never really know how it will play

 

[jnaveen1980]

India missed so many run out chances as well.

 

[mominsaigol]

Boring game, I'll skip this one, will watch the next one.

 

[Human786]

46/6

 

[Devadwal]

Virat would have taken that catch and also run out chance . Rohit is not a good athelete

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch was prepared in Adelaide.

 

[Croma]

6 down now....

 

[Asad T]

A bit slow and lathargic from the Indian skipper

 

[RidiculousMan]

That's the issue with drop in pitches, you will never really know how it will play

How it will play is one thing. But when the pitch is literally unfit to play and dangerous then you have to do something about it.

 

[Croma]

This match is a Horrible advertisement for cricket

 

[Human786]

Mostly for WI pitches .

I know but still 1 too many

 

[jnaveen1980]

You guys see why INdia doesn't win tournaments? This is why. That Rohit sharma's fielding is a text book example.

 

[Asad T]

as is the outfield

Shane Bond was bowling 150+ back then. On those pitches All Time World XI would have struggled against him.

dangerous

 

[jnaveen1980]

I know but still 1 too many

Agree. That too two similar kind of left arm spinners. Of all the people Chahal.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Why don't they do the post match presentation straight away. Its just a farce now

 

[Champ_Pal]

That should've been caught.

Rohit dived, but his belly pulled him down like a boulder.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shane Bond was bowling 150+ back then. On those pitches All Time World XI would have struggled against him.

No. Tuffy was the wrecker in cheif back then. In the ODI series Sehwag made 2 centuries. 7 match series. Nobody else made a 50 from either side in 7 matches.

 

[FearlessRoar]

A true sportsmanship moment when Curtis Campher walked on before umpire gave out for caught behind.

 

[Asad T]

You guys see why INdia doesn't win tournaments? This is why. That Rohit sharma's fielding is a text book example.

When Dhoni was captain, he dropped stars like Viru over his fitness. Rohit in this state would have been dropped too if Dhoni was skipper.

 

[Human786]

49/6 in 10

 

[mon858]

Ireland being dumb. Just try to get 100. Going by South afica Sri Lanka game also, 100 would be highly competitive on this pitch. Not sure why they are aiming 150 plus.

 

[Croma]

Just bring on Bumrah and finish off this boring game.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

IRELAND CONFIRMING WHY THEY ARE MINNOWS AGAINST SOME QUALITY INDIAN BOWLING.
How in the world did they beat PAKISTAN?
I am now confident pakistan will make the second stage

 

[Human786]

A true sportsmanship moment when Curtis Campher walked on before umpire gave out for caught behind.

I like this bunch of Irishmen ...

 

[Croma]

Is DUbe a pacer or spinner? If a pacer, let him loose on this pitch.

 

[mominsaigol]

Never go to NY again.

Thank god Australia doesn't have to play in this filth.

Honestly 10 tournament formats is the best. Too much minnow bashing and that too on crapola ny surfaces

 

[Human786]

can they get to 100 ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ireland being dumb. Just try to get 100. Going by South afica Sri Lanka game also, 100 would be highly competitive on this pitch. Not sure why they are aiming 150 plus.

You can't blame them. Defense is also not a good strategy here as some balls climb up some balls scoot off the pitch.
