India vs New Zealand | Semi Final 1, World Cup | Old Trafford | 9th Jul, 2019 | New Zealand Innings

[KingKhanWC]

One rockstar down

 

[MP2011]

Would still pick him over the darter any time.

This!

But do not expect this from someone who follows the game through CI only.

 

[Rana]

270 should be enough I recon

 

[KingKhanWC]

4 I think

 

[Sidilicious]

Some really dumb decisions taken by team management today.

Should have gone for Jhadhav instead of Karthik.

Both are the same batting wise, but Jhadhav provides the 6th bowler option.

I back DK against Lockie Boult over Jadhav

And I predicted this. Need a 6th bowler.

 

[jagatk]

Kuldeep has the worst stats of all the Indian bowlers this WC. He's cooked. I wonder if he will come out of this rut. Seems someone that rattles easy. Shami is just bad, very bad, very very bad at death. I mean 45 runs in 3 overs while Bumrah gave away 12 runs. That bad

He was poor in that game but I will take 14 wickets in 4 games over 7 wickets in 6.

 

[sindhiboy]

Kohli to take a 5 Fer. Dhoni to take a wicket

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Atmosphere is dead. India fans nervous

 

[MP2011]

Anyone who defends playing Bhuvi instead of Shami or jadeja over Kuldeep should be banned from talking about cricket.

This!

These guys don't know what they're saying. They're basically establishment stooges who go by whatever the 'think' tank chooses.

 

[andy0204]

pandya is injured

 

[Afhan Ali]

Can any one post the states of Kuldeep in this WC?

 

[MP2011]

Darter has been pathetic so far.

Manju wasn't wrong after all!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Needs to bring chahal on , My paratha is more dangerous than this bowling atm

 

[jagatk]

That's ignorance. You don't pick teams on reputation. U do based on performance and form.

And performance vs NZ show clearly that jadeja should not have been picked. He averages 73 vs them with the ball.

 

[rhony]

He was poor in that game but I will take 14 wickets in 4 games over 7 wickets in 6.

I know you would. But Shami showed his class against Eng, BD at the death. He shocked everyone. Kohli couldnt recover after that. Shami can take a 5 for 70 after getting hammered for 40 runs in the last two overs but the match would be gifted away too

 

[Afhan Ali]

NZ are not going to score more than 260
So i expect another esay victory for india

 

[rhony]

And performance vs NZ show clearly that jadeja should not have been picked. He averages 73 vs them with the ball.

Performance when? 5 years ago?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Big moment , play chahal well you’ll get the score

 

[MP2011]

lol, what a start by Chahal!

 

[fanofcricket4life]

That's ignorance. You don't pick teams on reputation. U do based on performance and form.

Then how do you justify picking Jadeja with a embarrassing record like this in the last 2 years?

[andy0204]

grandpa is the best wicketkeeper i mean goat 5 wides

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Crucial period of play... India in big trouble

 

[Sir-fraz]

India really messed up by not playing shami, bhuvi didnt do osh with the new ball. And isnt even a wicket taker hes avgong 40 in the wc.

What is kholi thinking?

 

[KingKhanWC]

NZ are not going to score more than 260
So i expect another esay victory for india

Who will take all the wickets to restrict them ?

 

[Pakhs]

NZ are building a platform to get some sort of score in a high pressure game.

 

[jagatk]

I know you would. But Shami showed his class against Eng, BD at the death. He shocked everyone. Kohli couldnt recover after that. Shami can take a 5 for 70 after getting hammered for 40 runs in the last two overs but the match would be gifted away too

On this pitch NZ would have been wrapped up by 45th over if we played shami. You are fighting a losing battle here.

 

[MP2011]

grandpa is the best wicketkeeper i mean goat 5 wides

Grandpa, what an embarrassment!

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Hahaha
Parosiyo ki trha q behave kar rahe yar ap
Hamari tu team weak hoti hai apki team tu bht strong hai

We're a bowler down now.. there's no one else who can bowl the extra 6 overs.. that is a concern!

 

[Afhan Ali]

Who will take all the wickets to restrict them ?

Bumrah, Chahal and B kumar

 

[MP2011]

Good over by Chahal, considering the kind of start.

 

[rhony]

There you go!!!

 

[jagatk]

The other hack goes, now their actual batting starts.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Jadu the super star

 

[desi_launda]

 

[MP2011]

Darter gets Nicholls.

 

[andy0204]

Grandpa, what an embarrassment!

dont tell anything to his fans

 

[Afhan Ali]

Collapse!
Coming soon

 

[jagatk]

There you go!!!

Yes atlast getting the wicket of the guy who averaged 4 until now, just miraculous stuff from India.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Nichols done his job

 

[Kroll]

What a rubbish batting performance, NZ regressed badly in this WC.

 

[saadibaba]

What a beautiful ball.

 

[rhony]

On this pitch NZ would have been wrapped up by 45th over if we played shami. You are fighting a losing battle here.

As I said, he was bad, so bad that he spooked the captain and the coach. Even fans. Dude couldn't land a single ball in the block hole

 

[Ram Shekhar]

28 bonus runs for New Zealand. Nicholls did his job and even better. Now New Zealand's bating starts..

 

[Markhor]

Big innings needed from Ross Taylor. Had been in superb form before the World Cup but has had a quiet tournament so far.

 

[rhony]

Yes atlast getting the wicket of the guy who averaged 4 until now, just miraculous stuff from India.

So u thought he would keep averaging 4?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nichols lasted longer than expected .

Taylor goat first innings odi batsmen . Finally real cricket coming up . Kuldeep would have been tough to play on this pitch even for Taylor , should deal with jadeja easily .

 

[jagatk]

As I said, he was bad, so bad that he spooked the captain and the coach. Even fans. Dude couldn't land a single ball in the block hole

Remind me how good bhuvi was vs SL. Today Dhoni the captain won vs Kohli the captain.

 

[saadibaba]

Nichols was desperate to get out....NZ openers are worse than ours.

 

[Afhan Ali]

MS Dhoni is wonderful player
My favorite player in indian team

He is best wicket keeper in this wc and his batting is also better than Sarfaraz, Latham, De Kock, Hope etc

 

[Ram Shekhar]

New Zealand has some good batsmen to follow.. Latha, Neesham, Colin, Santner.. 260+ is a given after this start

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good luck chasing 280 on this

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Given that we're a bowler short now, I expect New Zealand to go beyond unreachable 280 here..

 

[jagatk]

So u thought he would keep averaging 4?

He wont be pulling up any trees today either that I was sure of.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Tayler is ATG only against Pakistan
He is just a decent player
I am not expecting much from him today

 

[Pakhs]

Wicket - Its starting to turn advantage India.

 

[rhony]

Remind me how good bhuvi was vs SL. Today Dhoni the captain won vs Kohli the captain.

BK has a track record of better death bowling than Shami. As I said, how bad would the captain and coach be spooked to let a wicket taker go for BK who's bang on average. India had the Eng game in hand until Shami took over in the last 5. 3 overs 40+ runs and it's not like he bowled badly. He bowled his best and his best is the worst at death

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Good luck chasing 280 on this

Well said. India's best possible game can help them chase 240 here. We also are a batsman short..

 

[Smbhayi]

Grandpa, what an embarrassment!

How's that embarrassment? It pitched too full and turned away..

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Cmon if we nail beta-william and ross darzi....we have a terrific chance

 

[Afhan Ali]

They will not score more than 250
Such a rubbish team as compare to mighty India

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Spinning wicket..

 

[rhony]

Right choice by India to pick two spinners with the ball turning. Pandya injury is a worry

 

[MP2011]

Santner will be handy on this pitch.

 

[jagatk]

That spin is going to make chasing anything above 250 difficult with santner in the opposition.

 

[Aman]

Ball turning square 15 overs in..

 

[Smbhayi]

As I said, he was bad, so bad that he spooked the captain and the coach. Even fans. Dude couldn't land a single ball in the block hole

Is Bhuvi better? Then why he was the most expensive bowler last game?

 

[Ram Shekhar]

They will not score more than 250
Such a rubbish team as compare to mighty India

Toss has evened out both the teams. With Williamson looking good, it's advantage New Zealand.

 

[Junaids]

I’m at Old Trafford.

95% of the spectators are Indian, but surprisingly there are a few thousand unsold seats.

Less of a road than Saturday’s pitch for Australia v South Africa: with the cloud cover it’s not a 350 wicket, but probably still a 310 score is par.

The cloud cover means the floodlights are in play.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Williamson as playing like Misbah

 

[saadibaba]

Pak v eng test series she was harping on about kohli & ipl !!

IPL probably pays her the most money.

 

[uberkoen]

C'mon Kiwi's!

 

[MP2011]

If only we could either of these guys early. Better still, get both of them!

 

[Markhor]

Monty in the stands ! That chap still good enough to get into England's lineup.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Is the match fee to air in India ? I’m here paying for Ganguly to torture my ears

 

[rhony]

Is Bhuvi better? Then why he was the most expensive bowler last game?

One bad game. He was ok at death btw. Look at Shami's death bowling against Eng and BD. BD came back into the game because of Shami. BK bowled well today and can bowl at death unlike u know who.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

This is going to be a real tough chase for India. New Zealand looking good for 260 here.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Jadu 6 over 1/22
Not bat at all
+ He can bat and he is best fielder in the world
Excellent choice from Kohli

 

[sharmaji]

why are there so many official "scorers" out there, noting things down with pen and paper?

 

[jagatk]

1st innings already showing how stupid kohli's decision making has been. No 6th bowler, Hardik injured, the pitch is spinning and the best part time we have is kohli. Bravo kaptaan bravo.

 

[uberkoen]

Williamson needs to play the knock of his life.
