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

[rhony]

We all know dhoni will retire after world cup

Yes. Jadav too. But that innings was Jadav's last

 

[jagatk]

never thought winning a WC semi could have been this easy, Congrats INDIA

Unless wickets fall, we are well away from winning

 

[jagatk]

Clearly not a wide.

 

[Hasan123]

NZ want to face the overs out.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Not sure its fair having 2 English umpires here

 

[Havok]

Must be depressing to be a New Zealand fan

 

[Aman]

This batting is inexcusable.

Zero intent.

 

[KingKhanWC]

50 the man is pure class in the middle . Plenty of time to get the score

 

[Markhor]

Won't want to leave the acceleration to the end, Bumrah is very difficult to put away at the death.

 

[Zeshan547]

Unless wickets fall, we are well away from winning

you indians really like to play it down too much, No way you guys can lose this now, unless boult can pull off something very special on this Road.

 

[Aman]

Must be depressing to be a New Zealand fan

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed.

 

[Mercurial]

India's batting is absolutely unreliable. If Rohit or Kohli fails, it is all over for them.

Even the bowling is highly dependent on Bumrah, dropping Shami will come to haunt them in the death overs, wait and watch.

 

[rhony]

There's a slip and the dude is bowling on Taylor's legs

 

[rhony]

India's batting is absolutely unreliable. If Rohit or Kohli fails, it is all over for them.

Middle order is unreliable when chasing big. 250+ scores are right up their alley.

 

[Kaptan]

Chahal is overrated. Massively overrated.
Jadeja is much better as a player. More VFM

 

[Hasan123]

Luck for Williamson.

 

[KingKhanWC]

This batting is inexcusable.

Zero intent.

160 in 20 with 8 wickets will be a great score . Two of the best at the crease & luck is with them too it seems .

 

[rhony]

What an amazing WC for Kane. He is my batsman of this WC. Scored when it matters and scored it all alone.

 

[JaDed]

This is brilliant batting by Kiwis, Dont see India chasing anything above 240..

 

[jagatk]

Got to bring bumrah back for 2 overs.

Huh...what!!!!

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Some luck these NZ batsman have

 

[KingKhanWC]

Manjraker says the surface isn’t dry , tool lol

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent knock by Kane Williamson. Has shown in this WC he can excel under pressure. Will finish as NZ greatest batter and will minimum finish as their 2nd greatest captain after Fleming.

 

[Zeshan547]

Williamson can't even tonk Pandya. Legendary player

 

[Mercurial]

They dropped Jadhav for Karthik, lol. Jadhav is a very reliable ODI batsman, way better than Karthik. I think if they had to accommodate Karthik ,they should have dropped Pant, as he is a newbie and highly unreliable in this format.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Got to bring bumrah back for 2 overs.

He might leave him five out of fear

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah on. Kohli knows he needs a wicket.

 

[rhony]

Time for a wicket or two. One of these two will start going for it. Maybe Taylor

 

[Zeshan547]

Excellent knock by Kane Williamson. Has shown in this WC he can excel under pressure. Will finish as NZ greatest batter and will minimum finish as their 2nd greatest captain after Fleming.

Than kid u haven't seen Martin Crow

 

[IAJ]

Even if they double the score from here they will reach 240, wow, scary.

 

[Markhor]

The surfaces for this World Cup has totally defied expectations. You'd expect to see these scoring rates in Abu Dhabi, or on a slow turner in Guyana, not England where 300+ has been the norm.

 

[barah_admi]

Did the ICC not use a fresh pitch for this game, a semi final no less?

The amount of spin here is truly surprising. NZ getting to 250 would be lucky.

 

[Mercurial]

Huh...what!!!!

It has been one man show, almost, in this WC. After dropping Jadhav, and if Rohit fails, then it is a highly unreliable batting line up.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Wide slip now would be an idea

 

[Pakpak]

The surfaces for this World Cup has totally defied expectations. You'd expect to see these scoring rates in Abu Dhabi, or on a slow turner in Guyana, not England where 300+ has been the norm.

Don't worry England will make sure to make it a road tomorrow.

 

[desi_launda]

Drop by Dhoni

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dropped for me

 

[jagatk]

More brilliance behind the stumps from grandpa.

 

[watchman99]

It has been one man show, almost, in this WC. After dropping Jadhav, and if Rohit fails, then it is a highly unreliable batting line up.

Ohk... but battling line up is quite long today

 

[rhony]

Did he drop it?

 

[jagatk]

Did he drop it?

Yup

 

[Hasan123]

Than kid u haven't seen Martin Crow

Williamson is performing in all 3 formats as captain and this is with the pressure of captaincy. Also brilliant versus spin. I think he will finish his career NZ best batter.

 

[hb787]

Don't worry England will make sure to make it a road tomorrow.

After watching this, absolutely.

 

[rhony]

That was a crucial drop. How expensive is it going to be for Ind

 

[jagatk]

Ohk... but battling line up is quite long today

Quantity does not mean quality.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Did he drop it?

10 years ago he would of caught , take it easy on the seniors

 

[AdamM97]

This world cup has proved that experience doesn’t matter. Such liabilities.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Old me are causing problems for all the teams.

 

[Aman]

Off cutters is the way to go, this pitch has a lot in it.

Still need a score.

 

[rhony]

Pace and swing at the start, cutters in the middle and pin point Yorkers at the death. No one like Bumrah

 

[jnaveen1980]

This world cup has proved that experience doesn’t matter. Such liabilities.

Experience = Slow, lethargic

 

[Aman]

That was a crucial drop. How expensive is it going to be for Ind

Ball clearly didn't carry to Dhoni..

 

[Titan24]

Commentary panel is as poor as it gets for a WC semi final. Even golf commentary on its day can get more exciting than this.

 

[jagatk]

Ball clearly didn't carry to Dhoni..

That's a catch for most decent keepers.

 

[rhony]

Ball clearly didn't carry to Dhoni..

It will be considered a drop. I think he was late

 

[Aman]

We can't let the spinners just bowl like this...

We're throwing away the Semi here...

 

[Danyaalr01]

After watching this display from NZ, I can easily say that Pakistan deserved semis more than NZ. NZ are playing like club cricketers.

Please don't tell me Pakistan would have done worse than this, they only had one poor batting display in world cup, NZ have already had 3.

 

[Hasan123]

Taylor doesn't look comfortable.

 

[Madplayer]

The pitch is turning. I hope kiwis have enough spinners

 

[rhony]

Commentary panel is as poor as it gets for a WC semi final. Even golf commentary on its day can get more exciting than this.

It's been the same the entire WC. Nothing special today

 

[Pk716]

Taylor is not bothered to rotate the strike. Good for India.

 

[Aman]

Show some damn intent ***..

 

[shah_1]

Taylor is winning it for India

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Good over by Jadeja!

 

[rhony]

9-0-26-1. Jaddu did his job.

 

[Hasan123]

NZ will be in the game if Kane can bat till the end. 250 wont be easy in a semi.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Taylor is going like a snail

 

[Titan24]

Manjerker again talking about how Kuldeep and Chahal have a much better record against NZ. Now he is trying to bring his personal grudges in his profession as well

 

[ekpakistani]

Commentary panel is as poor as it gets for a WC semi final. Even golf commentary on its day can get more exciting than this.

Spot on

 

[rhony]

Show some damn intent ***..

They are looking for 80 in the last 10. 160 to 170 score by the end of 40. This is a 250 pitch. Ball is moving at the beginning, spinning a bit and the cutters are sticking in. NZ has assessed the conditions.

 

[watchman99]

Funny how Manjrekar is finding new ways to not praise Jadeja.

 

[rhony]

Manjerker again talking about how Kuldeep and Chahal have a much better record against NZ. Now he is trying to bring his personal grudges in his profession as well

What an idiot. This is the best you could have hoped out of Jaddu and he delivered

 

[Sycamore]

270 is a winning score, they just haven't given themselves a chance to get there.

 

[Sidilicious]

Could Taylor repeat his heroics after being dropped as he did in 2011 match against Pakistan

 

[pak4life]

Hard to work out NZ tactics here. They are not targeting any bowler. It's a big risk leaving for the old rounders at the end. It could work or they could be bowled out for around 200. Taylor should be the one taking some risks here.

 

[watchman99]

Manjerker again talking about how Kuldeep and Chahal have a much better record against NZ. Now he is trying to bring his personal grudges in his profession as well

He cannot praise Jadeja... he is trying to save face

 

[Titan24]

It's been the same the entire WC. Nothing special today

Every match gets a different set of commies by taking into account the teams that are playing. This current set is the worst we are seeing. Cometh the Eng vs Aus match and quality of commentary you will know what I am talking about.

 

[Babbar]

So how many folks still think that getting Darter in place of Shami or Yadav was a bad idea!

 

[Hasan123]

That NZ vs South Africa game was so good.
