India vs New Zealand | WT20 Super 10's | 15th March, 2016 | Nagpur | Match Thread

[Aman]

My bad. It's not as if back of a length balls hit the batsman's shin or knees. The bounce is not uneven. It's just lower than your standards and is slower. That's how turning wickets behave

The bounce is uneven, that's the point.

I was expecting the pitches to be slower and lower, but I didn't expect them to have inconsistent bounce.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Nehra to bowl the last over. Am sure he will give away 2 boundaries at least

I told ya ..... Dhoni you will never learn, Nehra can't bowl in pressure/ death overs. Bown him out in the first 15 FGS

 

[JaDed]

Sodhi to spin us out?

 

[maniac007]

You can only really judge a pitch after both teams have batted on it

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If India wins, pitch eased up.

If India loses, FTBs cant even bat against spin.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

[MENTION=139664]street cricketer[/MENTION] Time to pray for Sodhi Bhai

 

[street cricketer]

Our batsmen are duds against spin as well.

So won't be surprised if the kiwi trio choke us out.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pretty much this.

 

[rhony]

Will there be dew at Nagpur? If so, it will be a cake walk for India. If not, expect a tough game with India still favorites.

Take a day off once in a while

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I told ya ..... Dhoni you will never learn, Nehra can't bowl in pressure/ death overs. Bown him out in the first 15 FGS

Instead he bowls Ashwin out

 

[rhony]

The bounce is uneven, that's the point.

I was expecting the pitches to be slower and lower, but I didn't expect them to have inconsistent bounce.

Like I said, there was no uneven bounce.

 

[SandyB]

What will India do if Nehra fails ? We onlly have one replacement in shami. Not confident about his form.

NZ looked like Pakistan lolz

Green Pitch = "Not good for T20"
Spin pitch = "Poor pitch"
Flat pitch = "Bats are big, boundaries are small, not fair for the bowlers"

Sums it up.

 

[Bilal7]

Bhai, itna bhi nai hai. Abhi yeh match toh khatam hone do

If I ridicule India's bowling, I get bashed. If I praise their batting and overall ability, I get bashed. Mein kya karun, yaar.

whinners gonna whine. Its batsman's fault for throwing their wickets away like that...

 

[Thivagar]

Sodhi is the only threat, Nathan doesn't flight the ball and Santner bowls white people spin.

I've got an infarction already for that bhai

Leaving the rashtra with a heavy heart

So biased posters can post nonsense?

 

[Sandeep]

How is the pitch guys? I couldn't see the match. All good? 126 seems low..

Terrible pitch, Indians doctoring the pitch as usual

 

[Red Devil]

White people spin )

 

[dhump]

NewZealand gave tribute to Pakistani batting..nice of you Kiwis.

 

[JaDed]

Various views bro,but not a great T20 pitch imo almost trash like Asia T20 types but ofcourse the green and dustbowl argument going on.

 

[battler]

India will sleep walk this.

 

[JaDed]

) he is killing us today.

I think no sane person would object to high scoring tracks for this format. It is T20 after all.

That's the point, T20's are mean't to be for the batsmen. T20 cricket isn't for the purists, it's for casuals. Fans go to watch the batsmen, but of course their needs to be a balance (with it leaning more towards than the batsmen) for a contest.

 

[JaDed]

Ball moving so Rohit and Dhawan aint staying.

 

[Mainul]

It is a good score for defending if you have good spinners like Vittori but with Sodhi and santer it will be quiet easy for the Indians

 

[Thivagar]

That is your opinion. Time has moved on. T20 is becoming what ODI started to become in early 90s. This is an organized event. It is meant to be competitive. It is not meant to suit batsmen. It doesn't make sense for ICC to organize an event to suit just the batsman.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Rohit better start with a '6', then finish the game. That would be adding insult to injury.

Aman even the last WC there weren't many high scoring matches since there was swing and spin on offer.

 

[JaDed]

Nathan to start.

 

[Thivagar]

You'd be surprised. People shouldn't moan about low scoring tracks either.

He said "leaning more towards the batsmen" not "to suit just the batsmen".

 

[JaDed]

Sharma looks like "kuch pal ka mehmaan"

 

[Amjid Javed]

India should win this game with ease if they bat sensibly and just pick off the runs. The req run rate at start of inns is a pretty easy one.

 

[JaDed]

Good fielding.

 

[Abdul]

Shikhar Dhawan looks at all sea.

 

[JaDed]

Dhawan

 

[IcedCoffee]

Good running.

 

[aniket1911]

Dhawan is gone.

 

[theariezman]

So now game looks even

Dhawan and his inability to play half decent off spin, once again in display

 

[Thivagar]

I want Pakistan to get Rajkot like pitches. Hopefully that puts an end to this moaning

 

[JaDed]

Interesting to see how Kohli does.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Bring on Santner.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Dhawan

Man.. spoiler.. my stream's behind. (willow).

 

[Thivagar]

Dhawan is gone without wasting balls, which is good.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Dhawan out. That was expect lol. Now Kohli Sharma

 

[Thivagar]

Man.. spoiler.. my stream's behind. (willow).

Using Zenmate ?

 

[IcedCoffee]

King Kohli in. Really interesting to see how he goes about this.

 

[JaDed]

Man.. spoiler.. my stream's behind. (willow).

Not on TV which country bro?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He is terrible against any decent offspinner.

 

[Abdul]

Ideal start for New Zealand.

 

[IcedCoffee]

using zenmate ?

pia vpn

 

[Abdul]

Shikhar Dhawan falls like Martin Guptill did.

 

[Masterzz]

Amazing! Let's hope India struggle on its on pitch by batting out lol

 

[ChachaCricket]

Foolish move.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Not on TV which country bro?

Canada. I don't have cable/tv. Almost everything streamed.

 

[Thivagar]

pia vpn

nice. Ain't paying no damn ATN for their Pay-Per-View.

 

[Abdul]

Anderson to Kohli...

 

[Thivagar]

Not on TV which country bro?

TV is pay per view, each match will cost certain amount. Internet is cheaper lol.

 

[JaDed]

lol ,sad for desis tbh!

 

[IcedCoffee]

nice. Ain't paying no damn ATN for their Pay-Per-View.

Yea, way too overpriced. $7.99 does the trick

 

[ChachaCricket]

Released the pressure. Santner would've made it difficult for Kohli to settle.

 

[street cricketer]

Dhawan is probably the best hot and cold batsman going in the world right now.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Dhawan out again early, Kohli walks in to face the test again early on.

 

[street cricketer]

Santner is a very good bowler.

 

[LastManstanding]

Rohit

 

[carrom_ball]

Lol Rohit

 

[ChachaCricket]

What did I say? Was an idiotic move to bring Anderson.

 

[street cricketer]

Sharmaji gone!

 

[JaDed]

Sharma remains the worst in crunch matches.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Wow dumb move by Rohit. After what happened to KW.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Santner immediately gives a breakthrough, Rohit sleep walks into his demise
