What's new

New Zealand (249 & 140/2) defeat India (217 & 170) by 8 wickets to win WTC Final

I dont think the seamers have bowled too badly. NZ openers have just batted well.
Surprised by Latham getting out to ashwin, he is usually a good player or spin.
Conway is class as always
 
You should be the unofficial captain of Indian cricket team.

Its too late though. NZ will lose 3 or 4 wickets before they score these runs.

I will become ghatiya then.

Armchair expertise is where I can shine.

Its too late yes.
 
Another 4 by Bumrah.

This is in the league of Kohli laughing with Shoaib Malik post CT 2017 after getting whopped by Pakistan black and blue.
 
Bumrah is one of the main reasons why we are losing this game.
 
How did Gough give that as out? haha

India just need to keep it straight, dry up the runs, the kiwis are looking rattled!
 
that life should kick williamson into action, they are playing to cautiously at the moment and will give india a sniff if they carry on like this under pressure
 
This is what happens when you believe.

We may still lose but you send a real chill down your opponent's spine.

Kohli literally gifted 25 runs to NZ with his bowling changes.
 
Bumrah is clueless in both innings while all pacers are troubling batsmen.
What a crap.
 
Kane’s reaction while running when the finger went up suggested he was more annoyed at not being able to run two there as the finger had gone up.
 
Play out the first hour and go for the DAMN win.

This shared trophy is **.

Sure, will help "stats" but no one will remember it just like no one remembers CT 2002 which we shared with SL.

Make it memorable.

Loss is ok.

Adelaide 2014 was a MAGICAL test not cos we won or lost but cos we WENT for it.

Go for the glory guys.

This guy is the prime culprit for the loss:yk
 
From a Kiwi POV, they need to stop defending with their front foot so far forward. They need to start playing positive cricket, looking to pierce the gaps and get on top of the bowling.
 
NZ needs a couple of boundaries to ease the nerves and quieten the crowd.

They could've sent a pinch hitter for a quickfire 20-odd
 
What a Test match. The energy in the crowd and on the field, both openers gone, Ashwin on fire. 139 will start to feel a bit further away for those NZ batsmen...
 
These two are the most experienced pair , they need to stay calm and one of them has to bat through here
 
please please please Jaddu after this.

We need a spin tandem.

Shami is not bad but if he doens't pick up a wicket, lets change course.

Imagine the spin tandem from ball 1.
 
NZ got this, I just want to see the end of Kohli the captain, he is just pathetic.... Whats with this pathetic over the top celebrations after each wicket from Kohli, Pathetic Pathetic, what an arrogant little *****...
 
This is heading for a draw at the moment.

Latham was so pathetic from the word go
 
Ashwin has to bowl more slower deliveries. 85 kmph.

Yes, that brings scoring shots but its what gets wickets.

But right now, its just used a sucker ball while the regular ones are 90 kmph ones.

Damn, there are literally no runs to defend but gotta try out best.

Jaddu from the other end would be ideal.

Both will feed off each other.
 
If enzed can peel off another 93 runs they just might take this one out.
 
So how many maiden overs have we sent down on the trot?
 
Man why is Isa Guha a commentator for this Test? She is supposed to be English but she cannot hide her Indian bias!
 
Switching the strikes. Kane may look to be more aggressive against Ashwin, especially if he bowls as full as he did during the previous over
