They are smaller!
 
are the boundaries in this ground small there are actually more sixes than fours
Mccullum if he stays for 10 overs I think NewZealand can win apart from thats its going to be tough 160 and over are good scores for 2020 in NewZealand

boundries are small but pitch is acting weird, its not easy to time the shot, you cant slog, if ball has variable bounce.
 
What a horrible collapse by India. It is a 200 wicket considering the boundaries. Taylor and Mccullum will finish the total. Infact Taylor was instrumental in chasing 340 plus against Australia. So i won't be surprised if this total is overhauled now that Oram is back. They have plenty of depth.

My friend, you are trying to play the underdog here and trying to lower the expectations. By no means, this is a 200 wicket. Unless McCullum goes crazy with his shots, I predict an India win.

I mean if you play sensibly you can easily overhaul 160. You don't have to play like maniacs to achieve that. All NZ requires is two big overs.
 
Is pakistan free in July NZ are not going to play Zim

We should try to get some ODI - 2020 matches with them to practice for
2020 world cup In england if possible if it doesn't rain there in July
:)))
I forgot the world cup was in June

Dont see NZ hitting a dozen+ sixes!
 
Love this new aggressive attitude by Indian team.... this is what India lacked in past... before,1 wicket and new player used to take 5 overs to settle... now 1 wicket and next ball hit for 6....
 
Oram is a big hitter. Taylor is the key though. He is fearless (except when he faces Malinga at full tilt)

Yes but NZ don't play against anyone else like they play against Australia :(
 
:wasim Oh yeah - Zaheer, oh man, what a ball - oh, it was lovely, oh I cant believe how great you are. Oh, oh...

That is the only happy thing. India managed 162 without much contribution from Gambhir,Dhoni, Yuvi. That is another happy thing.
 
:wasim oh that was so close, I cant believe they took a single off that ball. Go zaheer, oh, oh...
 
:wasim Go zaheer, dont let that bad man MaCullum hurt you too badly.

Oh a dot ball - a dot ball. Wait I have to go.
 
:wasim oh no Zaheer. You bowled a wide?? Is umpire cheating. You da man...you da man
 
:wasim beauty bhai - what a fantastic ball. I must write article now.

2-0
 
:wasim play & miss . you own MacCallum - you is the best! Praise the ZK

2-0 off 1 over

:)
 
Who the hell is this old fogie umpire?

Hes made 3 terrible decisons already in this game!
 
Ryder thiefed out!

1.1 I Sharma to Ryder, OUT, but not as great as Ishant's first ball, he gets Ryder lbw, that was on a length, Ryder tries to flick it off his pads, misses and is struck in front of leg and middle, Hawkeye says that was pitching outside leg, Ryder's unlucky there
JD Ryder lbw b I Sharma 1 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00
 
:wasim Why umpire not giving out?? Another dot. You learn from the master
 
:wasim Head still - compose yourself Zaheer. ESPN is behind you!
 
Why did the MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT appeal for that? It was clearly not out!
 
:wasim Go around the wkt Zaheer - like I told you last night.

Its Ok, next over will be better.

9-1 off 3 overs
 
^^ Kudos to you enjoying India VS Nz match even though you have a Exciting PAK match going on at the other end :D
 
Embarrasing umpiring out there - shades of David Shepherd,missing all those no-balls.

4 & 6

23-1 of 3.3

Lunch break...popped in here.

Watching both actually - 1 on TV, 1 on PC :)

And commentating on both!
 
Can't believe Sharma appealed for that. I thought India were supposed to be sportsmanlike?

Theres a terrible umpire out there - bi glasses, and old! And he is useless.

Worth appealing for anything!
 
apparently speed gun problems are everywhere. it should sharma before locking 151 k and that made me jump up for a second only to be brought back in the realm with the gun showing a cutter from pathan as 144

I have seen pathan hit ~140 lately , though he still bowls crap ...some how its always speedguns problems when indians are bolwing :P
 
my current fav player , outside the indian team ...hope he does well in a loosing cause for NZ :D
 
dude we have sohail khan bowling in 140s also and we are all united in calling him pretty pathetic in this test match. 140 isnt the barometer that gets us going. additionally the point i was making wasnt that indian bowlers cant bend it, but i felt the gun was toasted coz the bowl that was bowled was not seem up

I wouldn't say the speed gun is faulty, just that they are not calibrated the same everywhere in the world.

Ironman posted before all the NZ bowlers were above 140kph. Now Aus just played them in Australia and only the odd ball was above 140kph, O'Brien being the quickest.

Same thing players will always clock fastest speeds in South Africa, wait and see what Siddle and MJ clock in the series coming up.

I agree, it's probably the calibration that differs. Although, cricket being an international game, you would think that they would have the same standard calibration for everything...

New Zealand 105/2 (12.5/20 ov)

New Zealand require another 59 runs with 8 wickets and 44 balls remaining
 
Kiwis should win from here with Taylor and Mcullum in!
 
:wasim Oh my darling, my all time favourite. I made you. I made you. I must write...have urge...cannot suppress....article. Zaheer is best.
 
Then a jammy thick outside edge for 4

124-3

About 40 to win
 
135-3 off 16 overs

28 needed from 24 balls

Easy - but this is NZ....
