New Zealand [348/6] beat India [347/4] by 4 wickets in the first ODI, lead series 1-0

[Test lover]

Smash this Thakur idiot but I know he will get one more wicket somehow

 

[Kaizoku]

Kuldeep is being destroyed by Latham here. Will he cry tonight as well?

Was Already in tears when Latham sweeped his googly and stock ball consecutively.

 

[Aman]

I think 30-40 more runs and it will be fine to lose another wicket.

 

[liam26]

NZ might come close but Bumrah will choke them in the end. No way NZ is winning this barring a miracle.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Thakur's speed showing as 140 odd. Are these speedometers rigged? He seems like a 120 bowler.

 

[Kaizoku]

I love when India celebrate like its a certain wicket then dont take the DRS review.

Needless appealing. even the U19 were appealing every ball.

 

[Kaizoku]

Thakur's speed showing as 140 odd. Are these speedometers rigged? He seems like a 120 bowler.

That's the only thing he has got.

 

[MP2011]

I love when India celebrate like its a certain wicket then dont take the DRS review.

lol, so you want India to opt for DRS every time they appeal?

Heck, is there any team in international cricket which does this?

 

[MP2011]

Thats more like the Thakur I knew.

 

[Aman]

Shami and Bumrah have 8 overs between them.

 

[Aman]

Another wide.

 

[MP2011]

Shami welcomed with a boundary off his first ball.

 

[MP2011]

As I said earlier, wickets are our only hope in this game.

 

[Aman]

Taylor is so good to watch when he's on song.

 

[Space Cat]

lol, so you want India to opt for DRS every time they appeal?

I didnt say appeal i said celebrate.

 

[liam26]

NZ have planned this chase very well here, they were cautious at the start 50 in 10 overs, 100 in 20 overs rather than going all guns blazing at the start and losing wickets in process .... Never expected them to be still in the game when the target was set. Good response so far.

 

[MP2011]

I didnt say appeal i said celebrate.

Then it is ok.

Poor from us.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

So basically a full strength Indian bowling attack is being spanked by New Zealand team without Williamson? Poor performance for all the hype

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Like I said. This is an easy chase under lights.

 

[Kaizoku]

I hope they have 'choke' within their plans.

 

[Aman]

Rosco smokes another one.

 

[Space Cat]

Then it is ok.

Poor from us.

Im not complaining it just makes me smile when it happens.

 

[MP2011]

Our bowling & fielding has been listless so far.

 

[Space Cat]

Ross dont even think of retiring for another few years.

 

[Aman]

India's Fielding has gotten bad like ours.

We use to be two of the best teams along with Aus and SA, now both teams make a lot of mistakes.

 

[MP2011]

NZ has this game won.

 

[Aman]

Should win this but we've sucked finishing this series and have choked away games.

 

[MP2011]

Thats the peril of playing trundlers like Thakur, Jadeja in LoIs.

 

[Kaizoku]

Right now, the chase seems Taylor made for NZ

 

[Space Cat]

New Zealand in control right now but still a long way to go yet.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Taylor is avenging all those poor chases that NZ should've won. It must have been 3-2 to NZ in T20s. This is thumping of the highest order. Terrific chase this!

 

[MP2011]

This 15-runs over has decided the game in NZ's favour.

Pathetic from Jadeja. Another of Kohli's senseless selection.

 

[Aman]

The back of the bat shot Taylor plays is so tough to play.

Can easily hit it straight up.

 

[Kaizoku]

Thats the peril of playing trundlers like Thakur, Jadeja in LoIs.

Thakur does not belong to this level whereas Jadeja should restricted only to Tests.

 

[Aman]

Indian body language not good.

Looks like they've given it away.

 

[Space Cat]

Still 4 overs of Bumrah to go yet and NZ will want these two facing him not the lower order.

 

[ind_win]

Kuldeep @8+ today. Total failure in the recent past. Is the mystery destroyed like that SL spinner mendis ?

 

[Aman]

This has been a fantastic chase so far.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Neesham still to come must really have set the nerves of Taylor.. one player can make so much difference without even coming to the crease

 

[Aman]

Kuldeep @8+ today. Total failure in the recent past. Is the mystery destroyed like that SL spinner mendis ?

Teams know if they attack him, it will rattle him.

He has no bottle and can't handle pressure.

 

[Space Cat]

The back of the bat shot Taylor plays is so tough to play.

On cue nearly gets out playing it.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Thakur does not belong to this level whereas Jadeja should restricted only to Tests.

Champions Trophy 2017 should have been the end of Jadeja in ODIs but Kohli wanted long batting line-up when the players he chose for middle order like Rayudu and Karthik failed.

 

[MP2011]

Forgettable day for Kuldeep.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

This is just toying now... lovely batting from Taylor..

 

[Kaizoku]

Kuldeep has got it totally wrong. Bowling wrong lines. A mental midget.

 

[ind_win]

Teams know if they attack him, it will rattle him.

He has no bottle and can't handle pressure.

True. Kuldeep & chahal can't perform if the rival batsman attack.

 

[MP2011]

Last throw of dice from Kohli?

 

[Aman]

This has been a terrific innings by Latham, caught up and is now scoring over run a ball.

 

[MP2011]

Lack of wickets from Bumrah has also hurt us.

 

[Kaizoku]

Why Kedar ain't bowling if that was the reason he was preferred over others.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Lack of wickets from Bumrah has also hurt us.

He turned into a run saver for a while now

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

What a shot that was! Placement..

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Very interesting to see if Santner/Latham will be the next captain after Williamson for NZ

 

[Space Cat]

Why Kedar ain't bowling if that was the reason he was preferred over others.

Suprised not to see him considering like half his career wickets are NZ batsman.

 

[Aman]

Very interesting to see if Santner/Latham will be the next captain after Williamson for NZ

Probably someone else.

 

[MP2011]

I think our bowlers took it really easily when they saw 347!

 

[Kaizoku]

Suprised not to see him considering like half his career wickets are NZ batsman.

He won't do any worse than Piedeep

 

[ind_win]

This will be over by 45-46 overs. Total pathetic performance by Indian bowlers. Agreed the pitch is very good but this is not done , no consistent lines, pace variation. And too many extras. And spinners pathetic.

 

[Aman]

Biggie from Latham

 

[MP2011]

Thakur getting tonked.

Just love the sight of it.

 

[Kaizoku]

Trundul is greeted with a sixer

 

[Aman]

No ball and free hit.

India matching us with freebies.

 

[Aman]

Whattashot from Taylor

 

[Aman]

Surely can't choke from here?

 

[Kaizoku]

Surely can't choke from here?

Well don't be too sure about that. Trundul will come back to defend the last over.

 

[Aman]

22 off the over.

I love Taylor. NZ GOAT.

 

[Aman]

117 off the last 10 overs.

Damn.

 

[rollingstoned]

Please give thakur the treatment that dubey was given in the last t20.

 

[Aman]

Taylor chased a massive total of 370 against England too.

Scored ~170 while injured, it was one of the best innings I've seen.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Some serious thrashing this. NZ have thrown the gauntlet, India have failed to match them.. no answers whatsoever

 

[ind_win]

Surely can't choke from here?

Latham & Neesham made big difference to NZ team. They will win it before 47th over.

This is 2nd worst bowling performance after that epic thrashing/most shameful loss of 10 wicket vs Auz. In the space of 4 ODIs, both Aus & NZ have exposed the weaklinks in Indian bowling but the thakurs, jadejas, kuldeeps keep playing.

 

[Space Cat]

Taylor chased a massive total of 370 against England too.

Scored ~170 while injured, it was one of the best innings I've seen.

Got a ton in a big chase vs aussie back in the day too.

 

[Rajdeep]

Kohli should be stripped of ODI captaincy just for playing Thakur

 

[Space Cat]

This bowler is a spray can.

 

[MP2011]

Well done, NZ!

Exposed Kohli, the captain completely today.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

NZ won't choke here, surely?

 

[Aman]

13 off Bumrahs over with 2 balls to go.

 

[Space Cat]

Yes! Ive done that kind of fielding "harbour bridge" so many times. Feels good to see an international player do it.

 

[Aman]

Got a ton in a big chase vs aussie back in the day too.

Wasn't that against a second string Aus side though?

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

13 off Bumrahs over with 2 balls to go.

His mystery has been found out this tour. Enjoying the drubbing given to him..
