Final – India v New Zealand – Sunday, March 9 – Dubai

[SkyBlue]

Run rate dipping under 5 for the first time

 

[SkyBlue]

Missing the stumps I reckon

 

[honestbharani]

Just high but that is good enough to be not out obviously.

 

[King Kane]

A better decision from Pistol there, that was too high.

 

[SkyBlue]

That looks straight

 

[King Kane]

Latham in trouble sweeping again.

Wasted review by NZ this time

 

[honestbharani]

That was plumb. Not sure what the specialist was hoping for with the review. Worse review than the one Jaddu took earlier IMO.

 

[King Kane]

I think we need to start attacking the Indian spinners, take them on, we are just dying a slow death here by pushing and prodding against them.

Easier said than done though.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Latham has had a good tournament, but hopefully today is his last ODI. Hay and Chu need experience as we look towards the 2027 WC.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Phillips is NZ's fastest scorer.

Thus, getting him to the crease early like this is the best way to ensure NZ's score is the highest it can be. Good strategy from the Blackcaps.

 

[eroticfishcake]

What target are NZ looking for here?250?

 

[Silver Silva]

Latham has had a good tournament, but hopefully today is his last ODI. Hay and Chu need experience as we look towards the 2027 WC.

Tim Seifert no chance?

hey I'm back after doing my chores, what'd I miss

Someone at my work suggested during the week they should play Conway in place of O'Rourke (before Henry got injured). Might not have been the worst idea in retrospect

Nothing so badly as Latham just missed a sweep shot.

 

[NZTailender]

Tim Seifert no chance?

Seifert actually had a decent Ford Trophy but played half of it after preferring T20 leagues. If he was serious about it he could be in contention.

They're just so good aren't they.

It makes we wonder if Indian fans would class these spinners as a combination the best they've ever had in ODIs.

I think Young-Conway opening with Ravindra at 3 is our strongest top order imo.

 

[honestbharani]

I think it might be time to get Axar on from the other end instead of Varun.
