India v New Zealand| Warm-up Match | Chennai| 16/02/2011

[spiron]

Beast of an effort!
Even the last sprint wasnt devoid of the vigor.

Now if he is gonna keep wickets.. Dhoni better be called a beast as well.

 

[Rizz Khan]

Double Of The Last Ball.

360!!!

 

[The Slogger]

Gambhir - Dhoni - Pathan are serious threats.

 

[Rizz Khan]

New Zealand Needs 360 Of 300 Balls!

 

[Fawad2010]

India should win this one easily!


If their bowlers somehow screw this one up, then they deserve to be taken out of the team, to be honest!

 

[IAJ]

Gambhir - Dhoni - Pathan are serious threats.

Like Sehwag, Raina and Tendulkar are not that....

 

[Sir john]

dhoni fires

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

WOW, India humiliated Newzealand's bowlers

 

[Sir john]

100 for dhoni

 

[Sir john]

gambhir scored 89 ,well played gauti.

 

[Sir john]

raina fifty came in just 24 balls.

 

[Sir john]

so kiwis need 361 to win.

 

[spiron]

gambhir scored 89 ,well played gauti.

That's such a sissy name..
Wonder why even he wd choose it for IPL.. hopeless.

 

[pakistandiehardfan]

Should be an easy chase for Newzealand - unfortunately india don't have that spice in there bowling line up to run through NZ on a flat deck.

but we like it.

 

[Statsman]

at around 44 overs Dhoni and Raina, or perhaps atleast one of them should have retired and allowed Yuvraj or Pathan to have some practice
I don't see a reason for going on batting when you know that you are in a good touch and have made your team reach a comfortable total....
just saying..

 

[Watsupdoc]

India mauled NZ there

Well said.
Exactly my thoughts.

This way Yuvraj will have to bat around good players who are clicking and wait for his touch to come back. They shd have retired after scoring abt 75 and 50.. giving a strong msg to everybody as well.
But oh well..

 

[Sherlock]

I think India made the same mistake Pakistan made yesterday. Gambhir, Kohli, Dhoni and Raina should of retired and let the lower order bat. That said India have been my favourites before the WC, and nothing changes that.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Cricinfo:

Welcome back for New Zealand's chase. It will be interesting to see how they approach India's 360. Will they go all out, or will they treat this as some decent batting practice?



It will be boring if they treat it as decent batting pratice imo. They should go all out, they have got nothing to lose.

Nehra deserves it. He's lucky they aren't going for sixes.

 

[The Slogger]

Why isn't Sreesanth sledging? Weird.

 

[Mian Hassan]

[adnan yasin]

maccy down the track hit it over point for 44444444444

 

[adnan yasin]

aaah that was a skier by maccy ... landed safely

2 taken

 

[Statsman]

13 years of cricket and still doesnt know how to bowl...

from cricinfo
In 30 home ODIs, Nehra averages 42.28 runs per wicket, and 6.48 runs per over. Outside India he averages 27.93, at an economy rate of 4.72.

Nehra is ineffective in India, he shouldn't be playing the home matches atleast, Dhoni should bring Munaf in instead of him

 

[The Slogger]

pulled for 2

 

[adnan yasin]

a good slower one by sreeshant....

they took a quick single ..

 

[pakistandiehardfan]

Told you they lacked that spice, now look at them, being run over by NZ>

[Watsupdoc]

No PP chat? I guess it's only for Pakistan's matches...

 

[Strike!]

Guptill is the key for new zealand.

India fielding 11 spinners )

 

[Schickelgruber]

And all of a sudden when India bowls the speed gun breaks down

 

[Watsupdoc]

McCullum strike rate 160
Guptill strike rate 50 lol

 

[pakistandiehardfan]

And all of a sudden when India bowls the speed gun breaks down

I don't think there was ever a speed gun ahaha.

 

[ganeshran]

Sreesanth almost had a go at McCullum.

Sir John if you don't mind me asking...are you an indian brought up in kenya or something?
asking just out of curiosity

 

[Schickelgruber]

Nice use of language you brat Sree. Like he is bowling at 150 km )

 

[adnan yasin]

sreeshant now getting excited

 

[The Slogger]

Sreesanth is so poondy hahah

 

[Schickelgruber]

Nehra the new spinner comes on

 

[Schickelgruber]

Leg spin by nehra whipped off the legs

 

[Schickelgruber]

Next ball spinning away from the batsmen and pushed to mid-off

 

[12cavalry]

These fireworks from NZ wouldn't last for long

 

[adnan yasin]

quick single taken ..

 

[Schickelgruber]

Nehra spinning it ferociously here

 

[adnan yasin]

guptil should play his natural game ...

i think he is getting bit tied down..

 

[Schickelgruber]

most boring display of bowling I have ever seen.

 

[pakistandiehardfan]

Sorry but a medium pace attack of Nehra and Sree couldn't run through a bunch of kids in the gulli's, never mind minnows NZ.

 

[adnan yasin]

another good run taken .

2 more added to the total

 

[Watsupdoc]

Sreesanth to BB McCullum, no run, oh ho! More fun. McCullum shuffled across, went down on his knee, yeah he did, and tried to paddle-scoop it over the keeper! The ball went over the bat and to Dhoni. Sreesanth chirps; McCullum smiles.

Hit the spinner!

 

[adnan yasin]

48/0 in 7 overs

just about perfect

 

[Schickelgruber]

torturous bowling here

 

[QuarterBack]

Sorry but a medium pace attack of Nehra and Sree couldn't run through a bunch of kids in the gulli's, never mind minnows NZ.

Remember how the Bangla boys trashed your new ball pair last night? Just saying...

 

[Schickelgruber]

They should kick this garbage Sree out of the team. No discipline and useless bowler. Taunting is one thing but annoying is another.

 

[Watsupdoc]

torturous bowling here

sey sheeke hain yeh words?

 

[12cavalry]

 

[Schickelgruber]

Remember how the Bangla boys trashed your new ball pair last night? Just saying...

We bowled like rusty campers, did you see how we finished off? India could not even take a wicket with a seamer in their first warm up and none here too. I don't know what's you point.

and Sree gets PLUNDERD FOR

 

[adnan yasin]

there it goes ,.. straight hit for 6

by guptill...

 

[The Slogger]

[Schickelgruber]
