New Zealand [219/6] defeat India [139] by 80 runs in first T20I to take 1-0 series lead

[jnaveen1980]

Dhawan is so ordinary against the short ball, I'll be stunned if teams don't work him over with it in the WC.

He may get one or two away, but he's going to give you a chance. Never looks convincing playing it.

You sound like you started watching cricket in 2019 lol You think nobody tried?

 

[Madplayer]

Who is this Shankar? Can he bat well?

 

[Oligochaetes]

What is Shankar doing at 3?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even for Delhi Vijay shankar bats at no.7.

Scored more runs than Smith and kohli in Wc 2015 and CT 2017 top scorer, if he had a short ball weakness sure as hell someone would have found out by now.

 

[Madplayer]

What is Shankar doing at 3?

Certainly not doing any Tandav at the moment

 

[jagatk]

Certainly not doing any Tandav at the moment

He helping NZ in their Vijay.

 

[jnaveen1980]

In a way Dhawan should get good batting practice here. He has been out of form for more than 8 or 9 months.

 

[Madplayer]

152 kph from Ferguson

 

[Oligochaetes]

DHAWANnnnnnnnnn

 

[Aman]

Scored more runs than Smith and kohli in Wc 2015 and CT 2017 top scorer, if he had a short ball weakness sure as hell someone would have found out by now.

He's looked vulnerable playing it against us.

Worth giving away 20-30 runs for his wicket.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Shankar getting some batting practice for his next A tours.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Such a woeful T20 team and they have IPL lol... what a joke!

 

[Madplayer]

He helping NZ in their Vijay.

) good one.

 

[Shandarchowka]

This guy Vijay Shankar is a test player and he's #3 for India in T20s )

 

[Madplayer]

Dhawan has the tendency to bat like a hack sometimes but Damn he is effective.

 

[Aman]

Good shot from Shankar.

This guy has impressed this tour.

 

[MP2011]

In a way its good that we're treating these T20s with the seriousness they deserve.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

India trying it's best to lose the match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shankar doesn't bat at 3 even for his state lol He bats at like 6 or 7

 

[jagatk]

He's looked vulnerable playing it against us.

Worth giving away 20-30 runs for his wicket.

Wait till the cup starts my friend he looks lost in jamodis only to turn tendulkar in big tournaments.

 

[LastManstanding]

Beautiful shot

 

[Madplayer]

Shankar throwing the kitchen sink at everything now. Lol

 

[Shandarchowka]

India does realize they're chasing 220 in 20 overs? It feels they think they have 50 overs to chase so )

 

[Oligochaetes]

Shankarrrrrrrr

 

[jnaveen1980]

In a way its good that we're treating these T20s with the seriousness they deserve.

Yup. This means absolutely nothing. I watch T20 mainly for entertainment. Few sixes, fours.

 

[Aman]

This Shankar guy is legit.

 

[Madplayer]

Shankar improving his t20 strike rate. Not bad

 

[Shandarchowka]

In a way its good that we're treating these T20s with the seriousness they deserve.

So India is wantedly losing?

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Looking for singles in pp with a asking rate of 11, Vijay Shankar is leading us a definite parajay here.

Teeing off now.

 

[Aman]

Six, damn.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Vijay shankar lol

 

[Oligochaetes]

Sheeeeeeshhhh Shankar doesnt look like a power player... he looks more like a lob above the infield kinda batter

 

[Madplayer]

Wow this is some hitting lol. He has turned the tide in the space of 1 over.

 

[Shandarchowka]

This Kuggeleijn guy is so bad.. why do Dutch even play cricket?

 

[Oligochaetes]

Lolllllllll

 

[jagatk]

Some good hitting from Shankar but let's see what happens when the bowler is different, this seems worse than khaleel and siraj.

 

[Oligochaetes]

I take back my words!!!!!

 

[Tyler Durden]

So India is wantedly losing?

Yes, so we can boast that we BOSSED the series!

 

[Madplayer]

This Kuggeleijn guy is so bad.. why do Dutch even play cricket?

What is a Dutch man doing in Nz team? Lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is not a natural hitter by any stretch. Vijay shankar.

 

[MP2011]

Never thought I'll say this but Shankar upping the ante.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Kuggeleijn guy is so bad.. why do Dutch even play cricket?

Still better than shinwari lol

 

[Shandarchowka]

What is a Dutch man doing in Nz team? Lol

Haha yeah! Looks like there are quite few Dutch players around the circuit these days

 

[jagatk]

Teeing off now.

I will agree when starts hitting someone who doesn't seem like Nz version of khaleel and siraj.

 

[Aman]

OMG WHAT A BALLL>LLLLLLLLLLLL

151 kph.

 

[LastManstanding]

As long as India keep the RRR under 12, they will be fine.

 

[Madplayer]

What a ripper from Ferguson. Dhawan bowled.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is without Rohit sharma scoring much. So that is a big plus.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Ferguson is too fast for Shankar to lob

 

[jagatk]

Great ball

 

[Shandarchowka]

Dhawan has been ripped

 

[Aman]

Dhawans stumps all over the floor.

He"s killed him

completely done.

151111111111

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Vijay Shankar should also get the same number of chances like Pandya.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ian smith has found his voice lol

 

[Shandarchowka]

Dhawan was bowled like a noob there )

 

[Aman]

God I love seeing a fast bowler rip one right through a batsmen.

After getting a ball like that, you walk off as fast as possible without looking at the bowler. You know you've been beaten.

What a ball.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Vijay Shankar should also get the same number of chances like Pandya.

Second that! He deserves it.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Great yorker!

 

[Tyler Durden]

Let's see what the Superstar Pant will do today

 

[Madplayer]

Pantene.
I mean pant in.

 

[Aman]

Lockie has some of the best yorkers man.

Fast and completely runs through batsmen.

 

[Shandarchowka]

God I love seeing a fast bowler rip one right through a batsmen.

After getting a ball like that, you walk off as fast as possible without looking at the bowler. You know you've been beaten.

What a ball.

He was bowled to shreds... smoked into oblivion

 

[LastManstanding]

Pant really needs to improve his temperament.

 

[Madplayer]

Lockie has some of the best yorkers man.

Fast and completely through batsmen.

At that pace you only need to get the length right. He has shown immense potential this guy.

 

[Aman]

At that pace you only need to get the length right. He has shown immense potential this guy.

Yeah, but when he gets it right it's so beautiful seeing him clean up the stumps. He needs to get that yorker right so he can bowl it at will.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Shankar you beauty!

 

[Shandarchowka]

I expect India to end up with 150 odd.. they don't have capacity to score any more without Kohli.. when Rohit fails

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Vijay Shankar trolling PPers Big time

 

[jagatk]

India really need put santner to the sword .

 

[MP2011]

1 six and then 2 dots, thats not how you play T20 cricket.

 

[Oligochaetes]

OMG!

 

[jagatk]

Vijay Shankar trolling PPers Big time

Hits a 6 then proceeds to play 3 dot balls not sure he is helping his case here, this dhoni esque batting.

 

[LastManstanding]

Should try to score more against Santner.

 

[LastManstanding]

8 runs against the spinner is not justified when the RRR is hovering over 12.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Hits a 6 then proceeds to play 3 dot balls not sure he is helping his case here, this dhoni esque batting.

26(16)

Cut him some slack..

 

[MP2011]

5 dots in last 7 balls.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Hack Pant is trying his best to do his usual nonsense to throw his wicket away

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

26(16)

Cut him some slack..

He has a problem with Shankar and not Pant who is 3 from 6 balls lol.

 

[Aman]

Dammit Lockie is playing in the IPL.

Don't want him playing too much, although it's good for him financially and could help his development.
