India v New Zealand | 1st ODI | Guwahati | 28/11/10

[Torpedo]

Last ODI Series to be played in India before WC.

 

[Amjid Javed]

chance for Indias fringe players to stake a claim i guess for place in WC sqaud.

 

[insaaniyat]

I think NZ will win the series

 

[IT_Khumbee]

Go Kiwis...Chak day Phattay

 

[Rizie]

Odds from NZ win 2.62 are nice

india bowling line up

 

[insaaniyat]

Curious to see how Gambhir captains the side.

Gambhir will flop. Get Sehwag's wicket early and win the match

 

[ITGuy]

Ryder's injury big blow for NZ. Would have been clear favorites with him in 11.

 

[IT_Khumbee]

Gambhir will flop. Get Sehwag's wicket early and win the match

Shewag has chickened out of the series

 

[insaaniyat]

Shewag has chickened out of the series

oh, then NZ wins it I just checked their rosters, I don't see India winning any ODI

 

[mottapunjabi]

good chance for m vijay and saurabh tiwary to cement their place in one day team. hope jadeja gets the axe. man he is annoying. i think he is retained because dhon wants him, i suspect he wants him becoz both dhoni and jadeja are rajputs, i remember how he backed rp singh just becoz he is a rajput, despite his bad bowling perfomances..

 

[ITGuy]

Among the fringe players, Saurabh Tiwary, Kohli and Ashwin seem to have a realistic chance of making it to the main team.

 

[IT_Khumbee]

Vettori & McCullum out....now it evens out for the indian FTBs

 

[insaaniyat]

Vettori & McCullum out....now it evens out for the indian FTBs

anything to win a match

 

[Friend786]

Gambhir: "It will be just a matter of seeing the first 6-7 overs and then build a total." Who are the players are out? " We have Ravindra Jadeja, Vinay Kumar and one more .. !" This is of course Gambhir's first ODI as a captain. hahaha

 

[Sir john]

Its a early start.

I have respect for Gautam as a captain..Atleast the guy has the balls to drop Jadeja

 

[gsivak]

after 9 overs,
scores 50/1.
kohli looks nervous

He knows this is his big chance to shine and get into the world cup squad. He doesn't want to screw it up.

 

[JellyBro]

Holding praising Aamer again
lol he forgot Ishant Sharma's name but said he's not quite ready yet lmao )

oops wrong thread

 

[gsivak]

Hope Ashwin plays well and make it tougher for Dhoni to justify selecting Jadeja. He looks like a handy bowler to have. Liked what I saw of him in the ipl

 

[Sir john]

he need to play full 50 overs.

 

[Sir john]

after 11 overs, 61/1

kohli and gauti playing well

 

[gsivak]

he need to play full 50 overs.

Agreed. Raina's form is suspect and so is Yuvi's. I hope Yuvi gets going today. We need him to have any chance at the world cup.

 

[gsivak]

Will Vettori and McCullam be back for next match? We can't judge how good the newbies against a weakened NZ attack.

 

[rahulrulezz]

Hope Ashwin plays well and make it tougher for Dhoni to justify selecting Jadeja. He looks like a handy bowler to have. Liked what I saw of him in the ipl

Dude, no matter how much we try or wish, Dhoni wont drop Jadeja.. They are in love

 

[gsivak]

Dude, no matter how much we try or wish, Dhoni wont drop Jadeja.. They are in love

LOL one can only wish that taking a break to spend with his wife will wean him away from all that love

 

[Sir john]

after 13 overs,
79/1

 

[rahulrulezz]

LOL one can only wish that taking a break to spend with his wife will wean him away from all that love

Whos the wife..

Its like Pati, Patni or Woh.. In our case, its Dhoni, Jadeja or Woh

on a serious note, even I see Ashwin as a great talent..On turning pitches, we can keep Ashwin as 5th bowler for ODI worldcup..Mind you, he is an amazing batsman..the guy can clear grounds on will... otherwise, 7 batsman(Yousuf/Tiwari) and 4 bowlers for ODI worldcup

 

[Sir john]

Dude, no matter how much we try or wish, Dhoni wont drop Jadeja.. They are in love

i think yousuf is only competitor of jaadu

LOL one can only wish that taking a break to spend with his wife will wean him away from all that love

we need a handy left slow bowler in team.

 

[Sir john]

i doubt his batting ability.he is a spinner.

Ashwin will be great. We do need a wicket taking spinner. Bhajji nowadays concentrates in keeps the runs down. Ashwin doesn't seem to mind being taken for a few runs as long as he gets the wicket and given India's batting, we can afford to do that.

 

[gsivak]

i doubt his batting ability.he is a spinner.

Haven't seen him batting but if I remember correctly he does pretty well with the Bat for TN in the Ranji trophy

 

[Sir john]

all of them mostly come against weaker bowling line ups.

 

[Sir john]

India 90/1 (15.0 ov, G Gambhir 38*, V Kohli 18*)

 

[gsivak]

all of them mostly come against weaker bowling line ups.

true. I don't remember anything about his batting for CSK. but then again how much worse than Jadeja can he be

 

[gsivak]

Gambhir gone

 

[Sir john]

gamhir
looks very nervous against mackay
mackay get his man.

 

[Sir john]

true. I don't remember anything about his batting for CSK. but then again how much worse than Jadeja can he be

we all know bhajji will play as front line spinner in world cup.
jadeja give us variation
ashwin not.

jadeja left arm orthodox is much needed than ashwin offspin.

 

[Sir john]

yuvi and kohli on crease now.

hope yuvi scores a hundred.
:AAG

 

[Sir john]

100 up for INDIA

 

[Down2Earth]

come on you kiwis

 

[Sir john]

yuvi looks very much nervous.

 

[1137moiz]

Go Kiwis! I regard Ashwin as a bowling allrounder, sure he can occasionally get a 50 but generally a quick supporting cameo is the way I think?

 

[Sir john]

i guess a nail bitter match is coming.

 

[Sir john]

both yuvi and kohli fighting for there place in playing eleven.

 

[gsivak]

Go Kiwis! I regard Ashwin as a bowling allrounder, sure he can occasionally get a 50 but generally a quick supporting cameo is the way I think?

I am not sure about how good he is with the bat but if he can make a few runs real quick he would have more than earned his place

we all know bhajji will play as front line spinner in world cup.
jadeja give us variation
ashwin not.

jadeja left arm orthodox is much needed than ashwin offspin.

Well if Jadeja performs he would be an asset so far I haven't seen him do well given all the chances.

Variation or not we do need some one who can take wickets in crunch time.

 

[gsivak]

both yuvi and kohli fighting for there place in playing eleven.

yeah both of them wants to outlast the other. Someone needs to take the risk here.

 

[Sir john]

yeah both of them wants to outlast the other. Someone needs to take the risk here.

for them now personal goal > country win.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Yuvi's Innings proves that he is still in short of confidence.. Hope he can get back his form..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Very silly shot played by Kholi..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

to Yuvi..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Another Great shot by Yuvi for ..

 

[Sir john]

first boundary from yuvi bat

 

[gsivak]

Nice!!! It is always great news for India when Yuvi gets going.

 

[Sir john]

RR improving now.
