New Zealand [212/4] beat India [208/6] by 4 runs in the third T20I to seal 2-1 series win

[Usman Chadda]

Rayudu bats better than Guptill these days.

But my post was about an established LOI cricketer for New Zealand, so what's your point?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

One Pandya brother got em 3 crucial wickets in the 2nd T20, and the 2nd Pandya brother is having the unluckiest day of his life with all the misfields on his bowling.

What a poor excuse.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very very poor batting at the end. Ind is favorite to win this one as well. Tailor is not made for T20.

Vijay shankar Karthik Krunal Dhoni? no way in hell. Pant is also scratchy after his come bcak. Need some sloggers who can mistime their way to win.Rohit and Dhawan should have sat out and given chance to Gill and Rayudu.

Even Dhoni is an established LOI cricketer for India. How does it matter if he's not in any sort of form?

 

[TheSensible]

Well the verdict is,

Krunal's wack
Khalil's wack
Chubby Rohit doesn't inspire confidence among his players when they're fielding.
Kumar's still good
Womanizer Pandya could use better luck
Shankar goes balls out with his fielding effort
Dhoni's still quick AF
Pant had a twinkle in his eye looking at Dhoni's stumping effort. Probably wishes to be like him behind the stump.

 

[Romali_rotti]

This Vijay Shanker needs to be substituted every time India is bowling, this guy cant stop a ball to save his life on the field...

 

[TheSensible]

What a poor excuse.

I don't vouch for em my guy. I'm just telling you what happened. Why would I make an "excuse" for em?
Krunal stinks no doubt though.

 

[Stalin]

Spin to start. Rohit will tuk tuk.

For all his efforts Shankar failed to take any catch or even stop boundaries he should have stopped, rubbish fielding is rubbish fielding effort doesn't change that.

 

[Aman]

Santner opening in the PPs, interesting.

I think it's the effort that counts

 

[jnaveen1980]

World cup practice continues. Hope they just play 20 overs full. I want both Rohit and Dhawan to get out early. Want our middle order to face more test.

 

[TheSensible]

He gets his participation trophy from me though.

 

[TM Riddle]

Thread already at 4th page.
Looks like India must be getting a beating.

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Shekkar Daaawan....

 

[Aman]

What a bad shot from Dhawan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

pretty boring to watch these 2 every time. Only middle order is getting juggled around. Why not open with Pant

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Send Pant at 3

 

[imshally81]

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good riddance. Sick of seeing him every time.

 

[Stalin]

There you go. A good catch in the deep. And that's the difference between the two teams today. Catching.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shankar at 3 lol He doesn't bat for his state, region, IPL team above 5 or 6 lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

The weakest sa side that has won 7 series at home in a row. What ru smoking?
This weak sa sidr is still A lot better than Australia's

Not the side without ABDV.

The usual suspects very lively. Might change if India change course, but that won't happen, so we can expect this go to few dozen pages.

 

[Stalin]

Game is long gone. Only watching to see if our middle order can bat 20 overs.

 

[Aman]

It's funny people say I didn't post for the last game because NZ were losing, when I was at the game and didn't make a single post in the entire thread until the next day.

 

[TheSensible]

As long as Sharma's in, India can feel safe.

 

[Aman]

146.1kph.

I'll be sure to sift through every page and point out the people I'm referencing (not really), but seeing that my post got your attention, it's good that you have self-awareness. I'll admit I didn't have you in mind though. You seem do be in every game regardless, although, your obvious anti-India bias is sometimes apparent.

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Good start
Shankar on a roll....

 

[Aman]

150 kph from Kruguelin

We can field a team with 3 bowlers capable of bowling 150kph

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looking at the number of chances Shankar gets, he looks like a certainty for world cup squad.

 

[Stalin]

Shankar looking okay. Hope for an anti jinx.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Scott was bowling quick

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a name lol Tickner

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shankar looking okay. Hope for an anti jinx.

He is a proper batsman. Not a slogger. He will look bad when he slogs.

 

[Stalin]

Shankar channeling the beast of the Nidahas final in him .

 

[Tracer Bullet]

He is a proper batsman. Not a slogger. He will look bad when he slogs.

Yes looks very ugly when he slogs... India should tried him at no 4 in odi series against Australia... Anyday better than Rayudu

 

[jnaveen1980]

This guy has one of the weirdest bowling action

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes looks very ugly when he slogs... India should tried him at no 4 in odi series against Australia... Anyday better than Rayudu

If he can do something with the ball, he would certainly be a worthy investment. Just in case Pandya gives another intervew lol

 

[Stalin]

Rohit has to get a move on here.

 

[Stalin]

That must have been a 2. Poor running.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

150 kph from Kruguelin

We can field a team with 3 bowlers capable of bowling 150kph

Speed is a non factor in T20s. Trundlers have better stats than spray guns.

 

[Aman]

Need Rohit's wicket.

 

[Stalin]

Much better from the hitman

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

150 kph from Kruguelin

We can field a team with 3 bowlers capable of bowling 150kph

We can field a team with 5 trundlers. Beat that.

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Can be a decent bowler if not great
One thing I like about him is that he got decent technique and can rotate the strike..

 

[Oligochaetes]

Just get Rohit and the game belongs to NZ

 

[Stalin]

How India play ish Sodhi will decide this game .

 

[Oligochaetes]

How good is Pandya-2 with the bat?

 

[Stalin]

I think Vijay Shankar should be Kedar's back up in the WC as he is so susceptible to injuries. Plus he seems a good bat.

 

[Aman]

PPs over, need to pull it back and get wickets.

 

[Stalin]

Below par score in the powerplay. Must have got atleast 70.

 

[Stalin]

PPs over, need to pull it back and get wickets.

You have it in control. No need to pull anything back.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Scott is impressive in terms of pace. Pace is pace yaar.

 

[Stalin]

Rohit to either boom or fssss here.

 

[Abdullah719]

Last warning. This thread is for discussing this match and series only.

Be prepared for bans otherwise.

Thanks.

 

[Aman]

Scott is impressive in terms of pace. Pace is pace yaar.

Big hitter too.

Definitely promising.

 

[Stalin]

Just 5 off the over.

 

[imshally81]

Only 5 runs for in last over...

Thank you.

 

[jagatk]

Shankar playing a gem of an innings here for nz

 

[Oligochaetes]

150 off 77 balls.

I dont think this can be chased...

 

[Stalin]

Shankar is awful against spin. Nice shot but still....

 

[Aman]

Good shot from Shankar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

wide not given lol

 

[Aman]

Ugh c'mon Ish..

 

[Oligochaetes]

SHankarrrrr

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Guys like Pandya gets so many chances where as guys like Shankar are discared after 2-3 failures.

 

[Aman]

Shankar is playing a gem.

 

[Stalin]

Rohit setting himself for some belting.

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Wow.. Shankar playing some fabulous strokes..

 

[Aman]

Good innings from Shankar nonetheless.

A good find for India this tour.

He should be batting at 4 for India in the WC.

 

[Stalin]

Well done Shankar.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Guys like Pandya gets so many chances where as guys like Shankar are discared after 2-3 failures.

I saw the Nidahas final and seemed to have formed a worng impression of the guy.. He is quite good and might be better than Rayudu at No.4, What dya think?

 

[Stalin]

Should have seen off Santner. But still well done.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Shankar doesn't have charisma of being Indian batsmen.

 

[jagatk]

Decent innings from shankar

 

[Aman]

Need 2-3 quiet overs but keep bowling 1-2 bad balls a over.

 

[Stalin]
