Kumar was giving tips to Boult before the start of the game on how to swing the ball.
Now Boult has wrecked us.

Its not just the wickets, even CT 17 was an ICC event. Its also the weather and dukes ball which makes a difference.
We will see some big scores but we are gonna see some lively days with ball as well.
78 - 8
Wow... How are these two surviving?
Bossing lol. they are playing their natural game. I think Indians misjudged the conditions. They tried to go after bowling. Slashing, throwing bat.
NZ is giving these two singlesWhy isnt Kane attacking?

80-8
Never thought India would reach 80...
Hmmm.. I think India have found their No.8 and No.9 batsmen..
yea haha If i were captain i would have 9 fielders inside the circle for Chahal.
It wasn't swing as much as one guy being spectacular other Pacers did not find that much swing that day the way Amir did, also CT 17 was like Murphy's law for us, everything that could go wrong did go wrong that day
The big wicket of India's best batsmen![]()
He has fielders on the boundary LOL. That 153 in the first game is still giving him nightmares![]()
So what helps India now actually brought our downfall then lol, not asking you to compare as such, but I started watching only in 90s, and every ODI was special how was it during 80s the ODI? I guess Sharjah brought in more people and fixing as well.
Amir was the only swing bowler playing in the opposition, Hassan and Junaid either seam the ball or reverse it when its old.
I understand what you are saying and wickets will be good considering the last two years of England wickets but you never know with dukes ball, weather and it being England.
If Chahal can't hit six on these tiny grounds he can hit nowhere. His dream could come true here.
Extraordinary bad day.Woke up late and better for it.*** gill has one more chance .
Highest number of balls faced - Chahal
Highest number of runs scored - Chahal
So how many wickets do we lose by? My guess would be 9.
Dhoni fans will wake up now and come at us hard with "told you so" argument.
I think, in 2002 Series, at Auckland, IND Was all-out for ~100, and Srinath made it 7 down for Kiwis, today also I think Kiwis will loose some, but today they probably will finish the game before lunch.
Without Kohli we beat you twice at your home to win the Asia cup...remember?
You did not know that?Wow, Henry Nicolls opening??
India had quality group of seamers then. Not Khaleel Ahmed. So India doesn't have force to exploit moving conditions. Even Deepak chahar Raju gurbani will be mighty effective here.
I think the only reason Khaleel is getting a free ticket to the ODI squad, is because he's a left armer and hence Kohli thinks he's different. Otherwise I can't get my head around his selection in the team.
Shami should be starting with bumrah come world cup bhuvi is a lost cause for me, really lost much of swing.
When it's not your day, it's not your day.yea right noball.. haha

This khaleel is well below international standard.
That is not a noball.
Weren't you the one telling us about how he has been handpicked by zaheer or something.
If the bowler's khaleel it won't be his day ever, as atrocious a selection as likes of mohit Sharma and co.When it's not your day, it's not your day.
Should try to finish this quick, what's the shortest game India have ever played?
