[Spidy201]

umesh gets guptil

 

[Aman]

1 down already...

This tour can't end soon enough.

Completely spineless without McCullum.

 

[Spidy201]

late out swing from Malcolm yadav

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Malcolm Yadav on fire!!!!

 

[Aman]

Yadev getting plenty out there, would have loved to see how Boult and Southee would have gone bowling first.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

This has been always problem with Yadav.. 1-2 bad balls every over

 

[Spidy201]

One thing this Series has shown is Latham is best Batsman in NZ team across all formats.FTB's like guptil and Williamson got exposed.

 

[Aman]

Think that's 5 straight toss losses for us this tour

Seriously, feels like we lose 80% of all tosses.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

I cant believe how many were complaining about Guptill not being picked by any IPL franchise in last season. What a pathetic batsman he is!!!

 

[Aman]

This has been always problem with Yadav.. 1-2 bad balls every over

2 of the deliveries he has been dismissed to were unplayable. The one in the first ODI was poor shot selection.

 

[Aman]

I cant believe how many were complaining about Guptill not being picked by any IPL franchise in last season. What a pathetic batsman he is!!!

Yeah, because IPL legends like Rohit are great when the ball is moving around

 

[Saurav]

Toss fixing

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Yeah, because IPL legends like Rohit are great when the ball is moving around

Despite being poor against movement, Rohit manages to get runs in LOIs.

 

[Spidy201]

Yeah, because IPL legends like Rohit are great when the ball is moving around

Rohit Sharma is Indian. even saha gets picked in IPL. but only best of foreigners get to play in IPL.
I in IPL stands for Indian.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I used to think Latham would only be fit for Test cricket but this guy is proving me wrong

 

[JaDed]

Yeah, because IPL legends like Rohit are great when the ball is moving around

His competition is with other foreign players because of the quota in place,Rohit will easily make considering other Indian players in IPL.

 

[Spidy201]

good start by kiwis. looks like a flat pitch, 310-320 should be par score here.

 

[boomboomcheema]

One thing this Series has shown is Latham is best Batsman in NZ team across all formats.FTB's like guptil and Williamson got exposed.

Williamson is almost a FTB?

 

[JaDed]

The spin thing is a mental block for kiwis,good start considering the early wicket .

 

[boomboomcheema]

Williamson toying with the Spinners.

 

[JaDed]

Williamson toying with the Spinners.

Yes for the first time on the tour and Jaddu and Ash not included.

 

[Statsman]

Has Aman started whining about losing tosses already?

 

[Statsman]

Would love to see a big score here from NZ.

 

[Aman]

Yes for the first time on the tour and Jaddu and Ash not included.

Maybe you haven't juiced it enough for your spinners?

 

[Aman]

Has Aman started whining about losing tosses already?

It wasn't specifically to do with this tour, but in general.

In recent times, it feels like we lose the toss about 80% of the time.

 

[JattMaula]

Maybe you haven't juiced it enough for your spinners?

Yes. Thats the reason Aman.

 

[90MPH]

NZ should score close to 300 today.

It will be a good game then.

 

[JaDed]

Maybe you haven't juiced it enough for your spinners?

Didn't juice Kolkata pitch either also look at the line these two are bowling,although the missed chance might hurt.

 

[JattMaula]

KW needs to sacrifice a goat to Gods for good luck at toss.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

If its a patta, even our best spinners will get smashed around a bit.

Why is Chahal not playing?

Axar Patel is pointless. I don't see a future with him.

Mishra will remain stop gap only.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Big chase coming up for India tonight.

320-330 minimum

 

[Aman]

Hopefully the power hitters click and we can post a big total.

 

[JattMaula]

If its a patta, even our best spinners will get smashed around a bit.

Why is Chahal not playing?

Axar Patel is pointless. I don't see a future with him.

Mishra will remain stop gap only.

Patel is a all-rounder and Jayant is ready to replace him.

 

[Statsman]

It wasn't specifically to do with this tour, but in general.

In recent times, it feels like we lose the toss about 80% of the time.

I would have wanted India to bat first on this wicket. It looks flat and good for a 350+ score.

 

[Aman]

Looking good at the moment with both KW and Latham scoring quickly.

 

[Aman]

I would have wanted India to bat first on this wicket. It looks flat and good for a 350+ score.

India are a better chasing side, even a score of 350 will be difficult to defend.

 

[LastManstanding]

I would have wanted India to bat first on this wicket. It looks flat and good for a 350+ score.

Dew plays a big role at night in Delhi in winters. Although not sure whether there will be much dew tonight.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

High time we change captaincy in ODI's too, Dhoni can play as a keeper batsman.

Jadhav, Axar and Mishra are eccentric selections in this format.

 

[90MPH]

That was going down leg !

Poor decision.

 

[Saurav]

If its a patta, even our best spinners will get smashed around a bit.

Why is Chahal not playing?

Axar Patel is pointless. I don't see a future with him.

Mishra will remain stop gap only.

Axar is supposed to be duplicate Jaddu.Has decent record actually.

Mishra is a TTF if ever there was.You just know he'll break

Chahal and Kuldeep need to be introduced.Maybe Jayant too

 

[Saurav]

I would have wanted India to bat first on this wicket. It looks flat and good for a 350+ score.

Who's mitchell aaron?

 

[Aman]

Taylor long overdue some runs.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Bumrah being an Ipl product is still a decent find for us in LOI

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Patel is a all-rounder and Jayant is ready to replace him.

Axar is supposed to be duplicate Jaddu.Has decent record actually.

Mishra is a TTF if ever there was.You just know he'll break

Chahal and Kuldeep need to be introduced.Maybe Jayant too

Theory wise...I get Axar Patel's inclusion.

But does it really work?

Axar started off great coming from a great IPL season where he was outbowling Ashwin, Jaddu and everyone else with ease. But that was just one time period where he was at his best and others weren't that good....Don't see a future with him.

These days Axar does get smashed a lot.

Jayant doesn't seem to be a wicket taker in LOI but can keep it tight. Would love to see him bowl more to see where he stands.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Who's mitchell aaron?

Mitchell Aaron Starc.

 

[Spidy201]

Maybe you haven't juiced it enough for your spinners?

or maybe this is a flat pitch��

 

[boomboomcheema]

Ross Taylor has killed all the momentum of the innings after his arrival.

Terrible player.

 

[90MPH]

Ross Taylor has killed all the momentum of the innings after his arrival.

He needs to start hitting out or get out. I don't understand his Test style prodding - not doing him or the team any favours.

 

[JattMaula]

He needs to start hitting out or get out. I don't understand his Test style prodding - not doing him or the team any favours.

Confidence issue.

 

[Aman]

Taylor is in horrible touch and is costing us some runs.

 

[90MPH]

Confidence issue.

That maybe the case but he's needs to either rotate strike or hit big because he can't afford to play himself into form at the teams expense - not in this modern age.

 

[Spidy201]

Taylor playing Axar as if he is playing Bedi

 

[Aman]

Taylor missing out on easy runs on the pads

 

[Aman]

Hopefully that's out.

Horrible innings.

Indian fans should hope he's in.

 

[Aman]

Taylor has nearly wasted 5 overs...

 

[Saurav]

Hopefully that's out.

Horrible innings.

Indian fans should hope he's in.

He can make up for the dot balls once set

 

[Aman]

Taylor has killed all momentum in this innings..

 

[JattMaula]

That maybe the case but he's needs to either rotate strike or hit big because he can't afford to play himself into form at the teams expense - not in this modern age.

I think he needs a break badly.

 

[90MPH]

Taylor just go for your big shots man - this is painful to watch.

 

[Aman]

He can make up for the dot balls once set

He's not, he's in horrible touch and is trying to find some form by batting time in the teams expense. Starting to understand McCullums comments on him...

 

[Aman]

Calling this the game.

Going to reach a score which is very easy for the Indians to chase.

Taylor needs to be dropped in all formats.

 

[Aman]

13 off 34

 

[Spidy201]

Mishra Axar and Jadav. below average spin attack for India. don't know what selectors were thinking. why can't they give a chance to kuldeep yadav?

 

[boomboomcheema]

It makes you wonder whether Taylor is playing for NZ or India.

 

[Aman]

Thanks for wasting 5 overs and killing all momentum.

Looks a certainty for MOTM.

 

[Saurav]

 

[boomboomcheema]

Indians will be disappointed with the fall of that wicket.

 

[Spidy201]

excellent little cameo by Taylor, For india

 

[Aman]

Much more pressure on the hitters to start going early, we wasted the last 10 overs.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Wish it was Kane who was out and :ross still playing

 

[Rayyman]

I think these conditions are making the bowlers look good. Just like what happened to Junaid Khan.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

I think these conditions are making the bowlers look good. Just like what happened to Junaid Khan.

NZ are 175/3 with a batsman around 100. How does that make bowlers look good ?

 

[Spidy201]

I think these conditions are making the bowlers look good. Just like what happened to Junaid Khan.

maybe you are posting this in wrong thread? are you?

 

[Spidy201]

well-done KW, nice 100 to help his team post a good total first time in this series.

 

[Rayyman]

maybe you are posting this in wrong thread? are you?

Was talking about Yadav and Pandya.

 

[Spidy201]

Was talking about Yadav and Pandya.

It's a flat pitch, guptil got a dream delivery, which Yadav bowls One very series. 2 wickets to spinners (gifted wickets).
nothing wrong with conditions for batting.

 

[Rayyman]

KW is a machine. Ind better watch out for Anderson and Ronchi here.

 

[street cricketer]

I just can't get excited about this series. Can't wait for the India England test series to start.

Fearing that I'm becoming a test snob like English fans.

 

[Spidy201]

reverse swing for Malcolm yadav.
