Laxman looks like he has come prepared for analysis, while on the other hand Wasim looks ordinary in front of him. Only fame is saving him here otherwise he is such a poor analyst. He even called New Zealand's bowling as one of the best in this WC, while the truth is all of their fast bowlers barring Milne tend to leak a lot of runs.

Do you guys get the same star telecast in Pakistan as well?

I thought there was a Ptv telecast with Lara and McGrath in Pakistan?
 
So a Dust bowl has been put forward for the opening game...I am surprised !
Get ready to see doctored pitches for Indian matches throughout the tournament

Nagpur pitches have been like that through the history! And at times it has backfired India actually! But this time India has formidable spin unit to exploit
 
Toss, 7.00 pm MS Dhoni and Kane Williamson walk out to the middle with shouts of "India, India" and "Dhoni, Dhoni" ringing in their ears. New Zealand's beige kit is so good. I want one.

Dhoni flips, Williamson calls heads, and heads it is. New Zealand will bat first.
 
Liking KW as captain already, he's been ruthless.

Dropped both Boult and Southee, I expected at least one of them to play.
 
I hope it will be a triller.

You are light on bowling Milne is the only pure pacer. Doubt your spinners are going trouble India too much.
One of Boult or Southee should have been picked.
 
WTH Nz Playing with 3 spinners ! Nou Boult no Southee only 1 fast bowler in Milne...part timers Corey and Elliott

Both are rubbish these days, I'm actually happy they aren't playing. We genuinely bat up to 11 with Ish scoring a few Test 50's.
 
Milne and Corey Anderson are the only seamers. We need to target Ish Sodhi and McCullum here when we bat.
 
Did India and NZ recently sign a trade agreement where India will export plenty of sheep to NZ?

That might be the only reason why the Kiwis are being so generous..

In that case you will simply have to out bat India to win. If 150 is par then you need atleast 165-170.
 
Indians will chase anything against that bowling line up tbh.
Boult and Southee weren't going to do anything. Both have been getting hit around, even in the warm ups. This way atleast we have some batting depth to put on a big score.
 
Must say this is a very brave decision from Kane, but also a clever one. I would've picked up an extra pacer though.

But I expect the pitch to be a slow one and all of their bowlers including Corey will be useful here. Will be interesting to see how India bat 2nd.
 
on this kind of wicket NZ have Elliot which will be more than handful
 
We have Milne, Ish, Santner, Anderson, Eilliot and McCullum to bowl.
 
Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Raina will be facing a spinners lineup while chasing a target then!

No matter how slow or turning the pitch is you do not pick three spinners AGAINST INDIA..

Playing to India's strength and a wonderfully flop move by KW
 
Even if NZ get 220, India will chase it in 18 overs..

What a pathetic decision by NZ to play all spinners

It's a clear cut decision when you consider how poor both Southee and Boult have been the last 9-10 months.
 
Pretty sure Indian batsmen will be happy not to face Boult and Southee no matter what the conditions are.

You would have loved them, trust me. Both have been bowling no better than India's trundlers.
 
NZ's move today is like Pakistan dropping Amir, Sami and Irfan and playing with a bowling line-up of:

Wahab
Anwar Ali
Afridi
Imad
Nawaz

^ Do you see how pathetic that looks. Well NZ's spinners are even worse than those three..
 
If Indian pitches aren't gonna assist spinners then I dont know where it will..

It's a surprise but a considerate decision by Kane.

But it's harder to hit around a pacer as compared to a spinner, unless there's a lot of turn on offer which doesn't seem to be the case here. Plus Indians are probably the best players of spin bowling in the world.

Let's just hope Elliot bowls as well as he does against us lmao.

Have a look at their performances in the warm ups, both have been rubbish.
