That shot when there are two slips

 

[TheSensible]

That middle order came in to the rescue and are, as always, in need of rescue.

Good game

 

[iPakistani]

LOL what are India doing, 33/4. Openers got dismissed and now lost 2 wickets in an over to this trundle de grandhomme.

 

[Sin Nombre]

"Best team in the world"

Pakistani fans celebrating their biggest win in many months

 

[rhony]

Told whom.

Everyone and their gran knows Rayadu is clueless.

You wouldn't believe if I say there are Rayudu fans in this forum

 

[iPakistani]

India making de Grandhomme look like McGrath in his prime.

 

[TheSensible]

"Best team in the world"

3-0 against NZ in their home.

1 short-coming against 3 consecutive away victories doesn't change much, if at all.

 

[jnaveen1980]

3 nothing shots from middle order.

 

[Sin Nombre]

You wouldn't believe if I say there are Rayudu fans in this forum

Name and shame.

 

[rhony]

So many answers in this game so far. Rayudu is worthless under pressure, DK is not a top order bat. Dhoni is needed in the team. A big score here will seal Gill's spot

 

[JaDed]

This is the same Karthick that helped us in England Test series in 2007,how did that ever happen.

 

[Tyler Durden]

India missing the services of Thala today!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gill's first inning ends. Another soft dismissal.

 

[JaDed]

Gill gone! poor guy got a taste of INTL cricket.

 

[SamNJ]

Gill looks to have time to play his shots
But the gap between bat and pad so huge that its a concern.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Ounce of swing and techniques being ripped apart... loving it!

 

[bluevision]

Wow..cross 50 ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Anyway looked good as long as he was batting.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Looked better than most of our batsman

 

[Syed1]

Was about to put on the match but saw on cricbuzz that Gill dismissed so won't bother now, how did he look in his short innings?s

 

[Sam99]

India missing the services of Thala today!

Yeah just like we missed in 1st odi vs aus. No thanks.

 

[Shandarchowka]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION].. normalcy has returned my friend

 

[rhony]

Gill gone!!! I'd say kid needs atleast a season in FC

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ounce of swing and techniques being ripped apart... loving it!

You got your voice back in a dead rubber lol

 

[CricFan2012]

Is the pitch that green or are the Indians playing rash shots?

 

[iPakistani]

33/5 india in trouble. Shubman showed some promise but with a small amount of swing looked clueless.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gill gone!!! I'd say kid needs atleast a season in FC

No way.. He was good. He middled almost all the balls

 

[rhony]

See thats the value of Dhoni in this team.

 

[TheSensible]

Only seeing certain names pop-up now when things get going tough for India. Can't appreciate but show up like vultures. Insincere.

 

[JaDed]

Was about to put on the match but saw on cricbuzz that Gill dismissed so won't bother now, how did he look in his short innings?s

Faced Boult in NZ in swinging conditions, hopefully remembers this is how INTL cricket would be. Needs to work more on his footwork just my opinion.

 

[Oligochaetes]

What a disastrous start and end... Game's over...

 

[rhony]

No way.. He was good. He middled almost all the balls

He definitely did not. After the hit on the head, he hasn't middled a single ball until that catch

 

[iPakistani]

Was about to put on the match but saw on cricbuzz that Gill dismissed so won't bother now, how did he look in his short innings?s

Played a good couple drives but has a huge gap between bat and pad, technique is lacking and will be tough for him on this tour.

 

[Balthazar]

So this is our bench strength? World cup here we come

 

[bantu]

India 33/5 .... Gill gone ..Similiar dismissal to Rohit ..
This match is done and dusted ...

 

[rhony]

Looks like a sub 100 score for India here. Ball is nipping around and if they pick Rayudu after this game, they deserve to flop

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only seeing certain names pop-up now when things get going tough for India. Can't appreciate but show up like vultures. Insincere.

Dead rubber fans lol

 

[jeetu]

Indian batting order getting brutally exposed without Kohli and Dhoni. 5/33 is just terrible.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a good batting practice for Pandya.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Pandya karne ke liye aaya finally!

 

[Syed1]

All of this can't be happening just because Kohli isn't playing

 

[rhony]

Get one of these out and you are into bowlers next

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian batting order getting brutally exposed without Kohli and Dhoni. 5/33 is just terrible.

By Grandhomme trundler? come on man lol THey are a bit casual. None of the dismissals bar Dhawan's was a result of great ball.

 

[Syed1]

Wait a minute why are posters saying "testing bench strength"... this is India's first eleven minus Kohli and Bumrah.

 

[jnaveen1980]

All of this can't be happening just because Kohli isn't playing

yup. It is good for India in a way. These two guys Rayudu, DK you can never trust to build a partnership

 

[Shandarchowka]

What's the lowest score in ODIs? ) )

 

[rhony]

By Grandhomme trundler? come on man lol THey are a bit casual. None of the dismissals bar Dhawan's was a result of great ball.

Rohit and Gill's are great deliveries. It seems like a straight ball and they think they can drive past the bowler. However, there is a late swing and the ball hits the inside part of the bat and will be an easy return catch

 

[JaDed]

Wait a minute why are posters saying "testing bench strength"... this is India's first eleven minus Kohli and Bumrah.

Dhoni and Shami too..

 

[Shandarchowka]

yup. It is good for India in a way. These two guys Rayudu, DK you can never trust to build a partnership

Blessing in disguise?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wait a minute why are posters saying "testing bench strength"... this is India's first eleven minus Kohli and Bumrah.

Did you see the dismissals? Reckless batting

 

[Oligochaetes]

Guys should play like test cricket and take the score to 100 at least..

 

[iPakistani]

35/6 this is looking ugly

 

[rhony]

Boult is running through!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Blessing in disguise?

No. We don't care. We BOSSED new zealand in 3 games lol

 

[Shandarchowka]

What match...over before it began lol

 

[rhony]

Wait a minute why are posters saying "testing bench strength"... this is India's first eleven minus Kohli and Bumrah.

Kohli, Bumrah, Dhoni. Thats what DHoni does. He stops the 35/6 and now everybody will know his value

 

[Green Patriot]

Is it the pitch or the bowling is just too good?

Missed gill's innings.He has to be given more chances though.

 

[JaDed]

What's the lowest score in ODIs? ) )

Excluding the minndows,amongthe current WC teams:

Pakistan 43/10 19.5 --W I won

we still have 8 more runs to go..

 

[Aman]

God dammit should have saved this epic phainty for WC.

 

[Green Patriot]

Somebody CALL KOHLI.NOW.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Whats India's loweest ODI score..?

 

[SamNJ]

India's lowest total in ODIs ?
54 ?

 

[Hyperion66]

Without Kohli, basically India = Pakistan. At least we have Imam and Babar now!

India is at least two levels above Pakistan without Kohli, add a couple more with Kohli.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is it the pitch or the bowling is just too good?

Missed gill's innings.He has to be given more chances though.

Bit too casual. This is what we worried about. ONce Top 3 are gone whether our middle order can survive.

 

[JaDed]

God dammit should have saved this epic phainty for WC.

Haa ,exactly

 

[rhony]

Scratch my comment about sub 100. Its sub 50!!! Series is done and dusted but is there a better way for Rayudu to be exposed once for all???

 

[Shandarchowka]

God dammit should have saved this epic phainty for WC.

Can still do brother. Just nip out Kohli and see 'em crumble!

 

[bantu]

35/6 ....)))
Boult got three wickets with similiar balls

 

[TheSensible]

Wait a minute why are posters saying "testing bench strength"... this is India's first eleven minus Kohli and Bumrah.

Normally, you have Dhoni come in after the 2nd wicket as well. Dhoni, although with a very slow RR, puts a stop to this rainfall.

 

[JaDed]

India's lowest total in ODIs ?
54 ?

Yes against Lanka

 

[Oligochaetes]

India's lowest ODI score is 54 and under threat today... Can India get to 40?

 

[rhony]

God dammit should have saved this epic phainty for WC.

Also Rayudu..Your masterplan failed

 

[jnaveen1980]

Boult has his day atleast once in a series.

 

[SamNJ]

Even if you call it blessing in disguise this came too late for India. They will anyway go with the same XI as there is no time to make changes.

 

[JaDed]

We should aim to cross 43 first ,,and after that 54..for moral victory lol

 

[rhony]

Boult at his best is just unplayable

 

[Hyperion66]

Excluding the minndows,amongthe current WC teams:

Pakistan 43/10 19.5 --W I won

we still have 8 more runs to go..

Ha ha always love fact based ownage.

 

[Aman]

Epic phainty for rockstars.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Also Rayudu..Your masterplan failed

He's not going anywhere son..
