New Zealand v India | 2nd ODI | Hamilton | Jan 22, 2014

[joly]

where is Aaron and Binny?

 

[Saeed]

He just touched the ball with his bat and it was almost boundary, can't wait for Anderson.

 

[Aman]

Guptill is one of the better ODI openers the world recently. He just needs to find his form again.

I'm not saying drop him but move him down the order, maybe a move down in the order could help him regain some form.

 

[Space Cat]

NL Has Producte Slow Wicket Why?

is this the BCCI Fear?

Probably the same reason that the NZ commentators keep heaping the praise on Indian players when we are normally quite bias lol.

 

[Aman]

Haha Anderson is really making some SC fans

 

[Saeed]

4 by Guptill.

 

[Aman]

Probably the same reason that the NZ commentators keep heaping the praise on Indian players when we are normally quite bias lol.

Glad Marks back

 

[Space Cat]

The pitch is very slow. Its the reason Ryder got out trying to uppercut that ball.

Can't play those shots on this pitch.

 

[Saeed]

Back to back 4 by Guptill, 39 for 1 after 7 overs.

 

[Aman]

Probably a good thing Milne isn't playing, he would have been belted here.

 

[Space Cat]

Williamson is turning into a very decent ODI batsman these days.

 

[Aman]

Raina and Dhawan must be licking their lips.

 

[Aman]

Williamson is turning into a very decent ODI batsman these days.

He needs to turn those starts into hundreds..

 

[Saeed]

Run rate more than 5 now, just need to keep rotating the strike till 25 overs and then let better copy of afridi do his job.

 

[Aman]

Fast outfield Williamson didn't time that well at all.

 

[Saeed]

LOL at ishant sharma.

 

[Space Cat]

Havn't seen a timed pull shot yet.

Dat tennis ball bounce.

 

[HASHAM2]

Probably the same reason that the NZ commentators keep heaping the praise on Indian players when we are normally quite bias lol.

i think even NL Commentators are afraid of BCCI Power

 

[Aman]

Havn't seen a timed pull shot yet.

Dat tennis ball bounce.

Indians will like it here they can sit back and wait.

 

[Saeed]

50 up for NZ.

 

[Aman]

i think even NL Commentators are afraid of BCCI Power

India are the greatest team to ever play cricket

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by guptill for nz

 

[Space Cat]

i think even NL Commentators are afraid of BCCI Power

IPL coming up.

Can't bite the teat if you wana be feed that sweet milk.

 

[Saeed]

Now wide, ishant you legend.

 

[Space Cat]

Ishant might do well on this slow pitch.

might...

 

[Aman]

IPL coming up.

Can't bite the teat if you wana be feed that sweet milk.

Macca was auditioning for it last game

Doully looking for that extension

 

[HASHAM2]

India are the greatest team to ever play cricket

Power Wise

 

[Aman]

We can't let the spinners settle, I hope we take to them straight away.

 

[Space Cat]

These Indian players really are so talented.

Ishant Sharma is a fantastic young bowler.

 

[Space Cat]

Bhuvneshwar Kumar back into the attack. Brilliant young phast bowler.

 

[Saeed]

How long is the boundary on leg side?

 

[Space Cat]

How long is the boundary on leg side?

how long is a piece of string?

 

[Aman]

Not seeing much movement, Indians bowling some good lines though.

 

[HASHAM2]

These Indian players really are so talented.

Ishant Sharma is a fantastic young bowler.

No seam Movement no pace Lol

Ishant bowl Shot Wide or on PAD

 

[Saeed]

how long is a piece of string?

Meaning you don't know.

 

[Space Cat]

Meaning you don't know.

2/5s of a Furlong.

 

[Saeed]

Good over for India.

 

[Saeed]

2/5s of a Furlong.

What is that?

 

[Saeed]

That was one shot but unfortunately no boundary.

 

[Aman]

Saeed it's probably around 60m.

 

[Space Cat]

What is that?

A furlong is roughly 200m.

So its probably closer to 2/6s

 

[Aman]

Mr. ... Williamson is not Raina or Dhawan..

 

[Saeed]

Thanks, hopefully Anderson will bat long then.

 

[Mr Consistent]

nz 56/1 after 11 overs

 

[Space Cat]

Saeed it's probably around 60m.

65m to 70m i think.

 

[Aman]

Attack!

 

[Aman]

Haha what a choice - win and make the aussies world number 1's, or go down to the Indians

 

[Aman]

65m to 70m i think.

Was thinking around that region as well.

 

[Aman]

I hope Williamson doesn't throw it away, an easy hundred here.

 

[Aman]

Finally found that Australian open song

Pretty disappointing

 

[Aman]

Love Guptill's head down shots

 

[Aman]

Williamson on aag

 

[Space Cat]

Thats just what the doctor ordered.

 

[Aman]

One day someone will hit Kohli for 36.

 

[Aman]

Rain a coming.

 

[battler]

What more can a bowler do to get dropped??
Ishant has done it all and more!!

Yadev and Aaron would have been ripped apart here.

 

[Aman]

400 on the cards, it's all about wickets and McCullum + Anderson.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

300 is minimum on this pitch.

 

[mithun_minhas]

This is a 350+ pitch.

Tiny ground, flat pitch and super fast outfield.

 

[battler]

Yadev and Aaron would have been ripped apart here.

They still have more pace and brains than I 'cant bowl to save my life' sharma.

 

[battler]

This is a 350+ pitch.

Tiny ground, flat pitch and super fast outfield.

is ready.

 

[Aman]

They still have more pace and brains than I 'cant bowl to save my life' sharma.

Pace means nothing here.

Probably a good thing for us Milne isn't playing here.

 

[Aman]

Rain.

 

[Space Cat]

Go away rain!

 

[EarthBoltX]

If I wake up and find that within 20 runs of 400 has been scored, I'll be very happy.

 

[EarthBoltX]

And RAIN, how DARE you spoil this.

 

[Space Cat]

At least its warm and still plenty of daylight left in the day.

 

[battler]

Pace means nothing here.

Probably a good thing for us Milne isn't playing here.

I am pretty sure they would have done better than ishant.
This guy doesn't use his brain at all.

 

[Aman]

Weather looks good now

 

[Space Cat]

India won't mind this. NZ batsmen had a nice bit of momentum going.

 

[Aman]

I am pretty sure they would have done better than ishant.
This guy doesn't use his brain at all.

Who knows, I know those guys would have sat up to be hit.

 

[Aman]

McCullum should promote himself up the order

 

[Iffitheking]

Now newzeland should score 300 at least wet ball and all...

 

[Aman]

Rain interruption looks to have killed our momentum.

 

[Aman]

Oh god no.. the pause #weakvariation

 

[Aman]

Raina getting some turn

 

[mithun_minhas]

Whats the point of playing 5 bowlers and then let Kohli and Raina bowl?

Rayadu should have played in place of Ishant.

 

[Space Cat]

Raina so far the pick of the spinners.

 

[Aman]

Raina bowling really well, need to put him under some pressure.
