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

[TheSensible]

Krunal needs to calm down

God forbid players show some emotion and fans get something out of the spectacle....

 

[Aman]

Should have changed the batting order.

C'mon Kane, this isn't your game.

 

[TheSensible]

Seifert stood his ground and Krunal ran into him.

Yea, but poor guy was looking at Williamson's wicket as a prize, but I'm sure, considering his SR, Rohit would rather he stay in the middle lol

 

[boomboomcheema]

Kane to keep one end safe so that NZ don't get bowled out.

 

[Aman]

First time I saw Seifert play, he hit his very first ball in international cricket for six.

 

[a_tahir]

God forbid players show some emotion and fans get something out of the spectacle....

What's bad about me saying he needs to calm down?
It's not an insult

 

[Aman]

Imagine Seifert batting with Guptill in ODIs.

Should try it for the series against Bangladesh.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Siefert damaging Pandya II's career

 

[Nov15]

How does one drop that in international cricket?

 

[a_tahir]

Lol.
Karthik with those K.A hands

 

[BreadPakoda]

Amazes me why Rohit and Dhawan are playing. Should have taken rest and allowed the new kids on the block to test themselves.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Take your time Kane. No hurry.

 

[a_tahir]

How does one drop that in international cricket?

He's a wicket keeper as well

 

[Oligochaetes]

India need to keep Kane on strike..

 

[Aman]

Watching Kane bat in T20s can be painful at times.

 

[TheSensible]

What's bad about me saying he needs to calm down?
It's not an insult

Nothing "bad" about saying anything, and you don't have to mean insult to undercut the very nature of sports, i.e. a spectacle.

If it's entertaining, let it fly as long as it's legal.

As to what you said specifically, all he did was make a little commotion about the player "getting in his way." If you need him to calm down from that, would you suggest they don't show emotion?

 

[Aman]

That's huge.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Williamson 7* (10) )

 

[Aman]

Kurggelin is a big hitter.

CdG and Kurggelin gotta be the next two in.

 

[Aman]

Why is Kane out here?

 

[boomboomcheema]

Wow Kane

 

[BreadPakoda]

Why is Kane out here?

Don't worry. India Z will allow even Kane to get some big runs.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane!

 

[Aman]

CdG and Krug should be in next.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Man! 250 is ON!

Nope!

 

[boomboomcheema]

Someone like Neesham should have played instead of Kane here.

 

[a_tahir]

Nz needs to realise they still have 8 wickets. No need to slow down

 

[Aman]

Should try this team against Bangladesh

Guptill
Seifert
Kane
Taylor
Nicols
Latham
Neesham
Bracewell
Southee
Lockie
Boult

 

[Aman]

Wow, this is John Mitchell's kid.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Daryl Mitchell is the son of Former All Blacks coach.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Some epic bashing this from NZ... Does India have a Babar to retaliate now?

 

[TheSensible]

NZ gotta make at least 200 for the start the openers gave em.

 

[boomboomcheema]

India still in the match as long as Williamson on the crease.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Shot Kane

 

[Aman]

Kane hitting back to back 6s

 

[Aman]

Kane 0 4s, 3 6s.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Kane 0 4s, 3 6s.

He's trying his best to prove you wrong Bro.

 

[Nov15]

Kartik has made up for dropping that dolly and 2 future drop catches!

 

[boomboomcheema]

Must send Collin for a few meaty blows.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Lol! DK making it look like some difficult catch. My man Manish Pandey would have held onto it with one hand with eyes closed.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Wickets tumbling.

 

[MP2011]

NZ has already scored enough to win this T20.

 

[Aman]

How did Taylor hit that for six?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good challenge for Indian secondary batting line up. Hope Dhoni never bats chasing this.

 

[RamLakhan]

You're amazed a cricket mad country of 1.4b has the depth for 2 cricket teams?

Multiverses' best of best infrastructure USA cannot compete much with South American countries in soccer!

 

[Aman]

Good challenge for Indian secondary batting line up. Hope Dhoni never bats chasing this.

Who are you even missing?

 

[MP2011]

Its been over 2 years since we conceded 200+ in a T20.

 

[jnaveen1980]

60 meter boundaries.

 

[Aman]

Multiverses' best of best infrastructure USA cannot compete much with South American countries in soccer!

NZ could field 3-4 rugby teams who would probably all make the top 5-6 in the world.

This is a country of 4m

 

[Aman]

60 meter boundaries.

Dropped catch :rondu

 

[a_tahir]

Lol at the people trolling pakistan for conceding 180.
Nz has already done that in 17 overs LOL

 

[a_tahir]

60 meter boundaries.

Then let's see india hitting sixes and win the match.
Until then Nz are hammering India

 

[MP2011]

Karthik is a horrible fielder and even worst batsman. Don't know what do these guys see in him?

 

[Tyler Durden]

I would keep these Pant, Khaleel, Dk, Rayudu and Chahal out of this team for their terrible terrible fielding.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

NZ batsmen showing as much respect to Hardiks bowling as he shows to women.

 

[WengerOut]

Lol at the people trolling pakistan for conceding 180.
Nz has already done that in 17 overs LOL

People were trolling because in a place where pathetic India and SL won against better lineup , world no 1 team disintegrated.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who are you even missing?

For one thing Kohli is not playing.

 

[Aman]

Why is Krugelin not in? He can hit them big.

 

[Aman]

For one thing Kohli is not playing.

And?

Kane wasted 20 balls to make it fair.

 

[Nov15]

With Pant in the team, Kartik probably dropped his WC berth.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Who are you even missing?

The king.

 

[Aman]

With Pant in the team, Kartik probably dropped his WC berth.

I hope we get him early

 

[TheSensible]

Then let's see india hitting sixes and win the match.
Until then Nz are hammering India

May be Kumar should try hittin the stumps for a change/surprise?

Edit: wasn't meant to reply to you.

 

[Aman]

The king.

Besides him?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol at the people trolling pakistan for conceding 180.
Nz has already done that in 17 overs LOL

Yes Pakistan wins against SA whenever india loses to NZ lol Nice logic. India bea SA in SA in the T20 series.

 

[WengerOut]

And?

Kane wasted 20 balls to make it fair.

We bowled badly intentionally just to make it interesting for you guys.

 

[Aman]

Does India have the power to chase this total?

 

[MP2011]

I see we can play never beens like DK but not Gill just because he failed twice in 2 games! Way to promote young talent. Gill would've only learnt here.

That also means Gill won't be going to WC.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Besides him?

He's worth 3 batsmen.

 

[MP2011]

Does India have the power to chase this total?

No.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

I Just want pant, krunal and hardik to win this for us.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Besides him?

Vijay shankar batting at no.4 should tell you something. There are like 20 better batsmen than him in the T20 circle.

 

[TheSensible]

Does India have the power to chase this total?

Only if NZ have the power to stop em?

 

[Aman]

He's worth 3 batsmen.

So just him?

Kane shouldn't even be in the T20 team, ideal team Guptill replaces him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We bowled badly intentionally just to make it interesting for you guys.

We have dropped 2 catches as well

 

[Oligochaetes]

Can get 220 from here....

 

[Tyler Durden]

Poor captaincy by Rohit. Should have given atleast an over to Shankar.

 

[Aman]

200 up, 7 balls left.

 

[WengerOut]

Poor captaincy by Rohit. Should have given atleast an over to Shankar.

Talked like a true Tamilian

 

[Tyler Durden]

And Chahal as usual showing his brilliancy in field.
