New Zealand vs India | 3rd ODI | Auckland |25/01/14

[London_Lahori]

So it's 2-0 to New Zealand and a must win game for India.

Play to start in about 20 minutes.

 

[London_Lahori]

India have won the toss and will bowl first again;

Hamish Bennett in for Kyle Mills and Varun Aaron in for King Ishant.

 

[Gone]

Varun aaron getting ready (saw him practicing in the middle during Pitch Report)

 

[Gone]

India win toss and bowl first as usual!

 

[London_Lahori]

Interesting to see how quick Aaron bowls today.

 

[Indiana Jones]

Varun Aaron in. Big pressure on him as people are expecting him to perform right away..

 

[Indiana Jones]

Sir agarkar in studios..lol...looks nervous..

 

[Indiana Jones]

60 meter boundaries...ha ha ha..

 

[spiderreddy]

2 spinners playing on fast and bouncy track

 

[Gone]

60 meter boundaries...ha ha ha..

Wait for it, fine legs 35m

Its one of those odd grounds in NZ (rugby grounds)

 

[Bullet Drive]

IMO this shouldn't be an ODI ground. Good for T20 but not an ODI ground at all. Have to feel for the bowlers.

 

[MarkCooper]

Holy crap! Sharma dropped finally

 

[Bullet Drive]

Want Varun to do well.

 

[Indiana Jones]

@ gone...maybe this ground would suit India more than NZ...

 

[Smbhayi]

Shanthan dropped.... OMG..

 

[Indiana Jones]

More Indian fans in the ground..lol..my brother lives in Wellington might go for the next match..

 

[London_Lahori]

This is normally a high scoring ground, such short boundaries.

Two fours in the first over already.

 

[Mr Consistent]

nz 8/0 after over 1

 

[Indiana Jones]

No speed gun? Grrr..

 

[Mr Consistent]

ryder of the mark

 

[London_Lahori]

Shami just nailed Guptil!

 

[London_Lahori]

This pitch has some pace!

 

[Gone]

Shami getting lot of bounce, hits guptil in the head and ryder suprised and hit too

 

[Mr Consistent]

wow what a ball pace

 

[Gone]

No speed gun? Grrr..

They are showing speeds.

 

[Indiana Jones]

Ganapathy bappa morya chants in the ground..lol..

 

[MarkCooper]

wow fast

 

[London_Lahori]

5 wides from shami, can't get carried away with the short balls here.

 

[Gone]

OMG massive bounce!

 

[London_Lahori]

Shami seems excited with this pitch, he's running in harder then normal.

 

[Mr Consistent]

5s's

 

[MarkCooper]

pitch must be fast if the 135kph bowler is looking express pace

 

[jattafridi]

i like this pitch fasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst

 

[Gone]

I think Shami and Vaaron are gonna be handful today!

Finally happy to see this, but too early to say!

Wish Yadav played in place of Ashwin

 

[Iffitheking]

ohh phainta time already started hehehe

 

[NZcricketfan]

Good luck Rohit, Dhawan and Raina with this bounce.

 

[Mr Consistent]

nz 17/o after 3 overs

 

[MarkCooper]

Any New Zealanders active? whats going on? Why is the pitch so fast but only from one end. The ball is not dying when it hits the pitch like it normally does.

 

[Gone]

Guptil struggling after getting hit on the head :/

 

[Gone]

Any New Zealanders active? whats going on? Why is the pitch so fast but only from one end. The ball is not dying when it hits the pitch like it normally does.

Its a drop in pitch, its hard

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bowlers should have been Shami, Yadav & Aaron with Jadeja as spinner.

 

[Bullet Drive]

You DON't need 2 spinners here man.

 

[MarkCooper]

lol what is going on! its like GREASE LIGHTNING from one end and slow and not coming on the bat at all at other end!

 

[Indiana Jones]

Bk is not getting away with poor line and length..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on I wanna see Varun now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

IMO fastest bowlers should always get the new ball.

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 BY ryder small boundary

 

[Gone]

Bowlers should have been Shami, Yadav & Aaron with Jadeja as spinner.

would have been ideal. O well Dhoni doesnt like playing 4 spinners. He has said that already!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Would love to see M.Irfan here

 

[London_Lahori]

Adam Milne would have been something on this pitch

 

[Bullet Drive]

Honestly. Really poor captaincy and bowling so far.

 

[MarkCooper]

Would love to see M.Irfan here

Irfan bowling full would be bouncing over the keepers head lol

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by jessi phainty time started

 

[MarkCooper]

commentator not happy

 

[London_Lahori]

What is Shami doing! He's being taken to the cleaners. Bowling short, bowling wide and bowling on the pads.

 

[Bullet Drive]

This is a 350+ pitch for sure.

 

[Mr Consistent]

back to back :4's

 

[Iffitheking]

Gavasakar is frustrated... heehehe

 

[Bullet Drive]

What is Shami doing! He's being taken to the cleaners. Bowling short, bowling wide and bowling on the pads.

They are just not good enough. None of them IMO

 

[London_Lahori]

I wish it wasn't 1AM over here, I'd love to stay up and watch this for a while.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Honestly can't believe India have Kumar opening the bowling whilst someone like Dinda is at home.

 

[London_Lahori]

They are just not good enough. None of them IMO

Dude is bowling everywhere, literally lol

 

[MarkCooper]

This is a 350+ pitch for sure.

Average score is 270! believe it or not

 

[London_Lahori]

134 KM/H and the ball is carrying like that lol

 

[Indiana Jones]

Good bouncer..

 

[Smbhayi]

game start...? but cricinfo still stuck in to toss..

 

[MarkCooper]

Medium pace bowling is hitting the wicket and just flying off it like its a fast bowler steaming in

 

[London_Lahori]

game start...? but cricinfo still stuck in to toss..

Pakpassion >>>> cricinfo

 

[Gone]

I wish it wasn't 1AM over here, I'd love to stay up and watch this for a while.

I was wishing the same thing, I am gonna try and stay up

 

[London_Lahori]

OMG this pitch is just

 

[Smbhayi]

and cricbuzz bowled only two balls..

 

[MarkCooper]

CLEAN BOWLED ahahahahahaha

 

[London_Lahori]

I was wishing the same thing, I am gonna try and stay up

Lol, I have to be up at 7 for work. If I didn't have work I'd give it a go.

 

[London_Lahori]

 

[Gone]

Wickeetttttttt

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a timing :4

 

[Indiana Jones]

Gone...ryder goes..good delivery.

 

[Smbhayi]

Pakpassion >>>> cricinfo

that's good.. but pp hasn't commentary team...

 

[London_Lahori]

Ryder really struggles when the ball is pitched on the stumps and moves into him. Looks like a club player with that line. Should work on it.

 

[Iffitheking]

Ryder
