Mods you can change the title to your format, if you don't like mines.

India wins the toss and have decided to bat.

India vs NZ, Napier 1st ODI

India won the toss and elected to lose. Rain forecast. Surprisingly Dhoni opted to bat first. If history says something NZ chases big totals with ridiculous ease on this ground. It is a lose-lose situation for Dhoni.

 

[minhasuz]

India batted first in both T20 and had lost both matches....so lets see how they do in this match

 

[Inswinger]

Hopefully the pattern continues.

 

[jusarrived]

hope the rain stays out !

 

[minhasuz]

Hopefully the pattern continues.

Insh Allah brother

 

[minhasuz]

Mods Thank you!

Siff wind, overcast condition, NZ are terrific chasers in NZ (Just showed an innings where Fleming hit 10 sixes!!).. So Dhoni's choice to bat first is even more perplexing. Chance has become slim to none now.

 

[jusarrived]

bounce and movement !

 

[IronMan2009]

Sehwag is trying to defend a free hit? Didn't he eat today?

 

[jusarrived]

9 of the first over ...2 good 4s for viru !

Zaheer Khan is the key and also the driver as after you open the door someone has to take you across

[jusarrived]

here comes tendulkar to put me off to sleep !

 

[IronMan2009]

I think Mills bowled all 7 balls at the exact speed 134 kph

Is there any NZlander who is below 6 feet? Everyone looks like giant.

No I think Tendulkar and Sehwag are just small!

 

[IronMan2009]

No I think Tendulkar and Sehwag are just small!

That is there. Tendulkar is really short. But i like to know their heights

Oram 6'6", Vettori 6'3" don't know about others.

 

[minhasuz]

Sehwag is being a hog by taking a single of the last ball to retain the strike loll

RAin Rain

 

[IronMan2009]

Players walking away. Incessant drizzle.

 

[Genghis]

Vettori 6'3"

Are you sure ... doesn't look that tall???

 

[Random Aussie]

Are you sure ... doesn't look that tall???

Yep he is pretty tall.

 

[minhasuz]

Are you sure ... doesn't look that tall???

I was wondering that too he isn't that tall. Oram's height is right but Vettori doesn't seems that tall

 

[IronMan2009]

Are you sure ... doesn't look that tall???

I have to verify that. He looked tall.

India won the toss and elected to lose.

Still raining, Jamie Alter on CricIndia having a cry about it.

There goes 1/5th of the revenue for NZ board.

 

[IronMan2009]

WI vs NZ matches were all washed out if i am right. So it must be annoying for NZ public to see another match interrupted by rain.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

From Cricinfo: The drizzle has stopped. Now begins the hard work for the ground staff.

It will be a lot better and faster if Zaheer Khan was the one handling the ropes :

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

From Cricinfo: It has become much brighter now, I'm told, and you can finally see some blue in the sky. The main covers are coming off.

Thanks Bublu. Tendulkar opened with Sehwag?

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Thanks Bublu. Tendulkar opened with Sehwag?

Yup. It'll be a 38 over match.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Play will start in about 15 minutes from now.

 

[Momo]

Yup. It'll be a 38 over match.

Gauti not playing?

 

[12thMan]

Gauti not playing?

Is this a trick question? Are you expecting milk delivery and Gauti who made an excuse is late or not showing up? Who is Gauti in non Japanese my Japani brather

 

[Random Aussie]

Sachin has very poor record in 38 over matches

[12thMan]

Zaheer stretching to show the world proper way to streatch. But a word of warning, this should be only be tried by a highest quality professional

I am sure. No doubt about it :aiqbal
Mainay bhi stletch kiye hain lekin kabhi aisa nahi
wat a majestical stretch :younis
Did he do a normal stretch or was it fixed with help of Gauti

 

[AZ]

Tendy gone for 20

9.4 Butler to Tendulkar, OUT, edged and taken! A nothing shot from Tendulkar, looking to steer that away behind square on the off side but the length ball sits up a touch more than anticipated and he feathers a regulation edge through to McCullum, and thats immediate success for Butler on ODI comeback
SR Tendulkar c wicketkeeperMcCullum b Butler 20 (23b 2x4 0x6) SR: 86.95

 

[Indian Pretending to To Be Pakistani]

overrated dhoni has come in to improve his average playing 90 ball fifty. currently struggling to middle the ball.

Told you he was rubbish at 38 over cricket

 

[Indian Pretending to To Be Pakistani]

Told you he was rubbish at 38 over cricket

he is not only rubbish at 38 over cricket, he is rubbish when pressure is on too..

 

[OZGOD]

How much did the YUVI get? Surely with Sehwag, Dhoni et al making hay he would have scored a double ton at least!

 

[Dhonian]
