New Zealand [284/4] beat India [280/8] by 6 wickets to win 1st ODI in Mumbai

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Type of match where Pakistan would have dismissed opposition for around 220 capitalizing on the 3 top wickets..

 

[Ab Fan]

India's batting is absymal barring top3 who can also struggle of the opposition has a world class pacer with some initial assistance on the pitch.

 

[another drop catch]

karthik gone after playing another superb knock

 

[Hasan123]

Bring Boult on and let him attack MSD

 

[LastManstanding]

Or perhaps we need to look at the context in terms of age/experience/batting line up/playing conditions/overall career strike rate etc. But that would be too complicated. Simplicity is what we accept. And "he is selfish/doesnt have the ability" is simple to understand.

There was no excuse for Babar to end up scoring 100(131) when his partner was going above strike rate of 100, no matter how you try to twist it.

 

[austerlitz]

Kartik throws it away.

 

[Abdullah719]

There was no excuse for Babar to end up scoring 100(131) when his partner was going above strike rate of 100, no matter how you try to twist it.

Yes his worst innings coming on the back of an awful Test series where he was trying to regain form encapsulates his whole ODI career.

Looks like that dropped catch could cost New Zealand dearly.

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli wants to bat till the end. Don't think he will take too many risks. So the onus is on MSD to look for boundaries.

 

[Ab Fan]

Southee is an average bowler.

NZ are Boult or miss in bowling.

 

[LastManstanding]

I get that but one can be justified in expecting him to accelerate after 40th over. It was quite clear he was playing for the milestone.

 

[Ab Fan]

Boult spell here could well decide if it takes India to 275 or limit them to 220-230.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Boult is back.

 

[shah_1]

Kohli is a machine

 

[Hermoine Green]

They should attack on Munro

 

[Hasan123]

India need to look to accelerate here.

 

[Hasan123]

Great pull from Dhoni

 

[austerlitz]

Attack the bowling now please.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Kohil 20 away from his 31st 100... Will my post jinx him? :

 

[Hasan123]

Hardik will be allowed to go from ball one.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Hardik will be allowed to go from ball one.

Yes, he can go back to pavilion.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Easily 250+ target is coming.

 

[Hasan123]

Guptill is a gun fielder.

 

[gani999]

Jadhav gone. He lacks game awareness, temperament and technique. Wasted a golden opportunity to make a name. I just want him out of this lineup. He is a misfit.

Jadhav ought to have been sent out a long time ago. I wonder why he keeps getting so many chances.
Even Ambati Rayudu would have been a better choice instead of him.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Dhoni

 

[Hermoine Green]

Jadhav ought to have been sent out a long time ago. I wonder why he keeps gettign so many chnaces.
Even Ambati Rayudu would have been a better choice instead of him.

Better relations with Kohli

 

[Hasan123]

Great over from Santner

 

[gani999]

OK with MSD gone and Pandya and Virat at the crease, we can hope for a 250+ score

 

[IAJ]

Dhoni really struggling these days.

 

[Hasan123]

Pandaya could take the game away from NZ.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Fool Southi it's kitchen size ground. no need of bouncers rally.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Pandaya could take the game away from NZ.

Expecting no spinners to bowl again, so he will be throwing his wicket soon.

 

[Ab Fan]

280 is possible if these two stay.

 

[LastManstanding]

Let's see if Pandya can take on fast bowlers.

 

[Hasan123]

Expecting no spinners to bowl again, so he will be throwing his wicket soon.

Let's see

 

[jaisan]

Get back rayudu.....

 

[Hasan123]

Another century from Kohli. What a knock

 

[Hermoine Green]

Kohli, 2 runs away from a ton.

 

[Hasan123]

[MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION]

But Kohli only scores on flat pitches

 

[Hermoine Green]

31st century by Kohli, oh dear.
Excellent knock.

 

[Hitman]

This man is extraordinary.

 

[Hasan123]

It's not a costly drop. India will still struggle to score 250 on this pitch with kohli around

India wouldn't get 250 and dropping Kohli wouldn't be costly ) ) )

Enlighten us further with your cricketing expertise.

 

[Hasan123]

Brilliant catch from Williamson

 

[Hitman]

[MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION]

But Kohli only scores on flat pitches

It depends on how much Kohli scores. If he scores big then the conditions by default becomes easy for batting.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Let's see

Told ya

 

[dravidthewall]

Do runs against newzealand count?.Great knock from kohli.

 

[Hermoine Green]

If Kohli stays around, India will get 270+

 

[Hermoine Green]

Do runs against newzealand count?.Great knock from kohli.

No, it's not an international match.

 

[Raja Sab]

felt Kohli was selfish today

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Milne has bowled utter rubbish today..

 

[Ab Fan]

Kohli's flicks are so easy to eyes.

 

[Hitman]

felt Kohli was selfish today

Yes, the only non selfish, patriotic players come from your country.

 

[Hasan123]

Exactly. Whilst for his favourites the bigger they score whilst when they don't score big the harder the pitch was.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Outstanding spell by Boult.

 

[Ab Fan]

Kohli's hitting ability don't match to AB.

 

[Ab Fan]

Brilliant inning though. India gets 280
.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Nice innings by Kohli when wickets were falling from other end..

Williamson should have attacked a bit more in middle overs..

 

[Hermoine Green]

Should be an easy win for India

 

[ego-gambit]

Dew factor could make bowling difficult for India

 

[Benchwarmer]

Move over Dhoni we have Michael Bhuven now

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

new Zealand have played two warm up games within the last week here, they scored 265 and 300+ on this wicket.

The ground is small

 

[Haripotter]

India wouldn't get 250 and dropping Kohli wouldn't be costly ) ) )

Enlighten us further with your cricketing expertise.

It was a jinx that worked wonders fella

 

[MMHS]

Respect for Boult, probably the better performer of the 2 stars in 1st half. Bowling performance these days are undervalued such that that they look like refuge in asylum, not even legal immigrants in cricket world. Last 2 matches they gave MoM to Imam & Babar

 

[troodon]

Just looked at the score card.

Only 1 of the top 3 clicked. Hence only 280.
As usual the middle order of Jadhav and Dhoni sucked badly. Striking at 50's in ODI cricket is unacceptable. But hey, it's MSD.

Karthik played decently. May be India can have karthik keep and select a batsman like Rahul in place of Dhoni.

A quick note, what kind of spell did Jadhav cast on selectors? Why does he keep getting selected? A total hack and his bowling is terrible. He is some how picking up wickets, but a total garbage player.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Looks like a difficult pitch to bat on in the middle overs.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Jadhav bowls those darters today the NZ players will destroy him, the ground is really small..

 

[squarecut]

It is a difficult pitch to bat, so 280 is above par on this pitch.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

this is a good pitch..

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

2 boundaries

 

[Princejain191]

new Zealand have played two warm up games within the last week here, they scored 265 and 300+ on this wicket.

That was Brabourne, this is Wankhade.

 

[shaz619]

Pretty good hundred from Kohli given the circumstances, his fitness is exceptional he was sprinting towards the end of his knock despite being out there for a long time

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Don't think he has the acceleration that Rohit and Dhwaan have. Brilliant test player but not good enough for LO.

You don't need to accelerate as an opener especially when the others are ones who throw their wickets away when the conditions are a little tough. i'll take 45/0 at the end of 10 overs even now in ODI cricket. You need atleast one accumulator who can make sure wickets don't fall. Besides if partnered with Rahul, he would be the perfect counterfoil for him.

 

[another drop catch]

Bumrah looking dangerous

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

i think jadhav last game..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jadhav is way too inconsistent

 

[Hermoine Green]

Can't bat, ball now can't even field

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol what a rubbish team this is. Honestly, us being the No.1 ODI team is a bit of a joke.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jadhav is one of the worst catcher India has had. Unless he does something with ball his place is under threat.

 

[Proactive_]

Lol what a rubbish team this is. Honestly, us being the No.1 ODI team is a bit of a joke.

We aren't atm. South Africa regained No.1 spot after their wins against Bang.

 

[shaz619]

Lol what a rubbish team this is. Honestly, us being the No.1 ODI team is a bit of a joke.

You were still the runners up of the CT so maybe that no.1 ranking has merit

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol what a rubbish team this is. Honestly, us being the No.1 ODI team is a bit of a joke.

.slow Dhoni, inconsistent jadhav, KARTHIK weak middle order
