Sooner they take power play better. McCullum is already taking chances. Inside powerplay it will yield better results.
 
Oram is still getting back to form. How good Guptill is against spin? Haven't seen him much. I think his slow batting is putting enoromous pressure on others.
 
They have lost the plot. We have to wait and see how India bats. Who knows there might be something in the pitch. Vettori might pull something off.
 
No it won't be washed out. It was just passing showers. They just showed the direction where rain came from. Now it looks clear. I don't expect any more interruption.

Do you have any idea, when the last 4 episodes of Season 4 are coming? or is it the end of it already?
 
we are back, we are back..Praveen just got pelted for a 6 and a four.. 14 runs already with one ball left..
 
I think you are right IM, did you look at the last four of the last ball of the last over from ZAK..
Frustating
 
This guy belongs to that marellier category. Very good improvisations. Every time it comes off for him. But Indian fielding is mediocre. Very embarrasing display. How many catches they are going to drop.
 
India 0/39 after 5.3 overs.

The CricIndia commentator better settle down or he might drown in his own hyperbole about India.
 
man it must be great to have openers who you don't have to worry about getting out at any moment. speaking as a pakistan fan, were not used to this.

Last time in 2003 during the India Vs New Zealand series, pictches were green tops...and he was the only one who scored centuries when everybody else was struggling..So.doesn't seem like a flat track bully to me..
 
This is one of the most frustrating ODI series i have seen. How many times players have to walk in and walk out. As soon as they came in. it is drizzling again.

I wish every Pakistani cricketer would be as lucky. He is all we wanted :afridi to be
 
India have taken the batting powerplay...I think this is the first time any batting team has taken powerplay before the bowling team..amazing..good aggression..

In Test cricket Sehwag averages:

39.5 in England
26.44 in South Africa
and 10 in New Zealand

And pretty much 50 plus everywhere else. If anyone is a FTB it is this guy.

He is a top class player with a weakness against the seaming and swinging ball.

In ODI cricket he averages 21.75 in England, 27.10 in South Africa and 49.60 in New Zealand, helped by the current series.

Seriously if this guy is not a FTB who exactly is? I would be curious to know.

For the record a FTB is not a bad thing, just an observation. Most batsmen struggle when the ball swings and seams, what you want if that is the case is for them to wreak havoc when the pitch is flat - which is exactly what he does.

Sometimes the stats dont give you the complete picture..
But really appreciate your stats there...you have got a good case..
Meanwhile Sehwag continues to murder Thompson..(16 of the over..)

Ball was swinging lol unfortunately bat was swinging even faster. :P. In one dayers Sehwag's failure is largely due to his mindset. He thinks he should hit harder and longer than he does in tests. Now he has changed his approach a bit. He is not an FTB by no means. In Flat tracks he is extremely dangerous. But he can do the same on lively pitches like he did in NZ last time. One of the reason he is able to pull off such things is because he doesn't depend on foot work one bit.

RA you r forgetting in ODI's Shewags avg has been around ~30 till lately , so his avg in SA and Eng arent bad ..!

if he has weakness against seam bowling , he plays on bouncy and turning tracks better than most batsmen in world cricket ...which is why he has a good record in Aus and SL ...helpfult tracks dont meany only green tops , need to include spinning tracks as well ...not exactly a FTB !

Anytime he fails that becomes a "fast track". Somebody said that i think in the last match after he got out. India made 392 :P
 
Yawn India obliterating NZ here 0/165 after 19 overs.

Ok Indian fans, Sehwag is the greatest, he is greatest on seaming wickets, bouncy wickets anywhere the game is played he is the best.

Hilarious to try and get anyone to concede weakness on Indian player's behalf. Stats show clearly he struggles on seaming pitch, averaging about half his career average. But apparently these stats lie and he is actually the best on seaming pitch.

And people wonder why RA hates on (most of) the Indian crew so much.

He has scored runs all over. Sehwag has failed in lot of ODIs in India as well.
If India is flat track why is Punter averages 20? For AUstralians australian, english, SA pitches are flat tracks. Similar conditions.
