Water Closet.

 

[prayas]

900th odi for India

 

[Sidilicious]

Water Closet.

I am not sure thats any better

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Gone

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Guys know when rahul will be back?

 

[anuk]

Wow a shocking crowd

 

[Sidilicious]

Wondering if the altitude at which you play cricket has an impact on the amount of swing on offer? Traditional and reverse?

I know for a fact that you can hit the ball longer. Wondering if that affects the pace at which the bowler bowls as well. As in does it take less time for the ball to reach the batsman, when compared to the same bowl at sea level?

When playing golf at high altitude one can usually add 10-20% to their range of the tee.

 

[Aman]

Some very mediocre batting by Guptill and Latham.

 

[Napa]

Did I hear that right? Commie seemed to say Pandya bowled one at 140 kph.

 

[street cricketer]

Looks like it's a patta of the highest order according to cricbuzz..

 

[Aman]

Looks like a skiddy pitch.

140kph coming on very quickly to the batsmen.

 

[Aman]

Did I hear that right? Commie seemed to say Pandya bowled one at 140 kph.

143kph last delivery.

 

[Napa]

143kph last delivery.

Indian pacers are surprising me! And Bumrah to come next may be the best of the lot.

 

[SL_Fan]

Looking forward to this one. Should be a cracker.

 

[Sidilicious]

Pandya bowls too many hit me deliveries though.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

 

[street cricketer]

Damn New Zealand, I wanted to see a huge score in the 1st innings

 

[Aman]

Geez we're really useless in all formats of the game now.

 

[Sidilicious]

Umesh produces some really goof Jaffas. Only if he could be a bit more consistent and not have an economy rate of nearly 6.

India's Md Sami

 

[leatherface58]

Go back to club cricket Taylor, you useless, pathetic garbage batsman! And take Guptill with you! Maybe there you will learn batting again.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Geez we're really useless in all formats of the game now.

You are playing against India's second string team right now. No kohli to chase a total around 260.

 

[Napa]

Pandya bowls too many hit me deliveries though.

His line has been pretty good. 3 of the 6 boundaries off his bowling were edges.

 

[Aman]

Go back to club cricket Taylor, you useless, pathetic garbage batsman! And take Guptill with you! Maybe there you will learn batting again.

The ball was doing a bit but the batting from our batsmen was woeful.

This is what I mean when I bag the quality of batsmen today. 99% of them become useless the moment the ball starts to do a bit.

 

[wasimjunior]

Go back to club cricket Taylor, you useless, pathetic garbage batsman! And take Guptill with you! Maybe there you will learn batting again.

Giptill is actually a woeful cricketer, hope he doesn't get dropped for us

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Go back to club cricket Taylor, you useless, pathetic garbage batsman! And take Guptill with you! Maybe there you will learn batting again.

Playing club cricket in NZ won't help them.

 

[street cricketer]

Spraygun Yadav bowling like Marshall

 

[anuk]

Pndya looks like a fantastic cricketer

 

[Napa]

Why is Rahane in the team????????????????

There are literally half a dozen young batsmen more deserving than him.

 

[leatherface58]

Playing club cricket in NZ won't help them.

You are right. They are beyond repair. Probably need backyard cricket to improve their technique. Maybe they will know where their off stump is then.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pndya looks like a fantastic cricketer

Really? He is poor man's Thisara Perera.

 

[street cricketer]

Pandya was impressive with the ball in the India A tour of Australia recently.

But I'm not sold on his batting yet.

 

[Saurav]

You are playing against India's second string team right now. No kohli to chase a total around 260.

Kohli is playing

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

You are right. They are beyond repair. Probably need backyard cricket to improve their technique. Maybe they will know where their off stump is then.

Spending less time in circus leagues and more time in county cricket can help them improve their game.

 

[Napa]

Really? He is poor man's Thisara Perera.

Yes, really! Great bowling right now, great fielding, great passion and can explode with the bat (though needs more consistency with the bat).

Hear the commies praise Pandya and Yadav.

 

[Sidilicious]

Why is Rahane in the team????????????????

There are literally half a dozen young batsmen more deserving than him.

If he opens, then he could be in the team. Otherwise, he is a liability.

 

[Napa]

Bumrah concedes only 1 run in his first over. Nice beginning.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Yes, really! Great bowling right now, great fielding, great passion and can explode with the bat (though needs more consistency with the bat).

Hear the commies praise Pandya and Yadav.

He is better than guys like Stuart Binny and can improve because he is young. But he is not a disciplined bowler.

 

[Hasan123]

Tooo easy for India

 

[SL_Fan]

Man wish BMac was still playing. It's like someone has let the air out of NZ

 

[SL_Fan]

Good to see [MENTION=45152]Saurav[/MENTION] in tha house. Long time no see Hope all is well bud.

 

[Saurav]

Good to see [MENTION=45152]Saurav[/MENTION] in tha house. Long time no see Hope all is well bud.

All well,Chow

Just busy making career

 

[SL_Fan]

And another one bites the dust. This is worse than our lot Game over red rover!

 

[Aman]

McCullum's legacy becoming bigger and bigger with each passing NZ match.

 

[SL_Fan]

All well,Chow

Just busy making career

Good man. Always knew you were destined for great things

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

No fight from New Zealand. Hopefully if NZ lose their fans won't blame it on the pitch, ashwin and umpiring.

 

[Aman]

And another one bites the dust. This is worse than our lot Game over red rover!

KW seems like a poor leader. If he doesn't turn it around, he could be gone by the NZ summer.

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Spending less time in circus leagues and more time in county cricket can help them improve their game.

Why do you keep crying about T20 leagues everywhere?

SA blanked Aus 5-0, guess what QDK, Amla,Duplesis, JPD, Miller, Steyn, Abott, Rabada, Tahir, are all regulars in T20 leagues.

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

KW seems like a poor leader. If he doesn't turn it around, he could be gone by the NZ summer.

Have faith in Dhoni. Neesham and Latham can still stage a recovery if they play out next 5-8 overs without trying anything fancy.

 

[SL_Fan]

McCullum's legacy becoming bigger and bigger with each passing NZ match.

Tell him to un-retire for the love of god!

 

[SL_Fan]

KW seems like a poor leader. If he doesn't turn it around, he could be gone by the NZ summer.

Gotta cut him some slack chief. Good things take time. Except in the case of Mathews

Why do you keep defending circus leagues everywhere? Let others post their opinion too. Not everyone shares your likes and dislikes.

 

[Napa]

He is better than guys like Stuart Binny and can improve because he is young. But he is not a disciplined bowler.

He looks much better than the last time I saw him. Maybe he is working hard to get better.

 

[Aman]

He comes off like a poor leader, we have no direction under him and his batting seems to have dropped off as well.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Seems like Hardik Pandya has added a few yards of pace

 

[Saurav]

KW seems like a poor leader. If he doesn't turn it around, he could be gone by the NZ summer.

Who's the alternative?Guptill?

 

[anuk]

Spending less time in circus leagues and more time in county cricket can help them improve their game.

He's comparable to thisara in his first 2 years before thisara lost his pace and became fat. I doubt it would happen with this guy.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Why did he lose pace and became fat?

 

[Aman]

Who's the alternative?Guptill?

Latham, Taylor, Southee and maybe Boult.

Probably could split it up.

 

[SL_Fan]

Yeah captaincy ain't for everyone. Only time will tell I guess. Tough job.

 

[Saurav]

Latham, Taylor, Southee and maybe Boult.

Probably could split it up.

Latham is too young.Taylor first needs to secure his spot

Bowling captains,not sure

 

[Saurav]

Losing wickets to part timer

Out before pitch is bashed.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Can see no difference between the body language of new zealand and west indies players. They all want to go back home as soon as possible.

 

[Slog]

Losing wickets to part timer

Out before pitch is bashed.

Well Pandya isn't a part timer to be honest

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Wow a shocking crowd

Look at the crowd now

 

[Tusker]

Sunny Gavaskar on the pitch before the match started :

Pitch report now. "This is like a road," says Sunil Gavaskar. "This is not a pitch for fast bowlers. This is a surface for batsmen like me." Need we say anything more?

Score now 79/7

tells how much these experts really know.

 

[Saurav]

Well Pandya isn't a part timer to be honest

Kedar Jadhav

 

[Statsman]

Umesh dropped Southee and he's making us pay now.

 

[leatherface58]

Sunny Gavaskar on the pitch before the match started :

He is partially right. Quality batsmen like him can score runs on this wicket. Legside hacks like Taylor and wafters like Guptill won't.

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

150+ now, another 30-40 runs and NZ will have a fighting total.

 

[Saurav]

He is partially right. Quality batsmen like him can score runs on this wicket. Legside hacks like Taylor and wafters like Guptill won't.

Hasnt Guptill been really good in ODIs?

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

168/8, bat sensibly and get to 200+

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

NZ defended 126 vs us and beat us by 47 runs in last WT20

They can defend this total as well

 

[anuk]

Love watching rahane bat. Hope he gets a few today

 

[Crafty_Indian]

kiwis shud have played boult and henry for this game imo.

 

[JibranAnsari]

If it wasn't for money ,no team would tour India. They embarrass them so badly. :MSD

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Hoping Pandey has a good innings

 

[Ab Fan]

Manish Pandey avgs 94 with bat in odis.

 

[Sidilicious]

Went into the squash court with NZ at 70 odd for 7. Come back and NZ have score 190

Was it Dhoni's doing? It could be excused if he was experimenting. Was he?
