***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

[hendrix]

uggh, hating this

 

[Contra]

YES! haha Shammi doing the damage

 

[Shri]

That Ishant, Jadeja and Bhuvneshwar are lemons in this bowling attack is public knowledge, but the poor form of Ashwin over an entire year, no two, is disturbing. He's not a terrible bowler, by any means, and has played plenty of games for India, so he needs to be restored to top form. The way this team is run, he may just end up being another Ishant- brilliant bowler turned to utter rubbish over time. Let's hope that doesn't happen. It's not funny when your best spinner averages over 40 for 20 matches in a row.

Needs better support. If he is still bad when he bowls with other good bowlers, he should be dropped.

 

[hendrix]

I don't know what type of record Ojha has in limited overs, but given the way he's been shafted from the test team, is it reasonable to assume he's also been shafted from the ODI team?

 

[Blocky]

Sorry, sorry

Further review of DWL method.

The wickets at the time of the break are the only ones that count, at that stage, we were two down which means we had 85% of our "resources" left - resource is one of the variables in that calculation. India will likely need thirty to forty more than we scored.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

**** off McCullum, I wanted to see The Honkey Tonky Man.

E: and he steals the strike. WAC.

 

[Sachin95]

Bowled!!!!!!!!

 

[Blocky]

By my calculation... if we score 270 (10 off the next two) - India will need to hit 296, 274 would mean they chase 300. 280 would mean they chase around 310.

 

[Zinzan]

Better than his 2 off 5 in Napier, at least he only wasted 3 balls tonight.

 

[Contra]

haha NcCullum is pretty crap from the little I've seen, doesn't even look like he wants to bat lol. India really helping themselves out with these wkts.

It's gotta be Mishra as next in line. He did really well to earn his recall in the Australia series. Pity he ended up with poor figures in that one game though. Bowled well first up, had a chance that went down iirc and a mi**** that nearly carried. Bailey took him apart after that and he ended up with **** figures and got dropped again.

He's a legit attacking option though. Really rate him.

 

[Shri]

Cue collapse.

He was absolutely atrocious in the last match.

 

[BeeGee]

Good bowling.

I like Kumar.

Ojha appears to be a left-arm version of Ashwin who can't bat. Nothing special about him. He's got a Test bowling average of 30 without leaving Asia, to give you a hint. Besides, Mumbai's Iqbal Abdulla has a much superior limited-overs record to Ojha's.

 

[Shri]

Kumar pretty brave to put his hand up to that shot.

 

[Blakey]

Stfu. How about giving credit to the guy? Seriously good slogging. Seen worse **** from the India bowlers. Not their worst in recent times.

Slogging? Mate get real.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

So in this 42 over match, we are looking at getting a similar score to the one in the 21 over match we played three weeks ago.

 

[straw man]

Surprised Mills out in the middle ahead of Timmeh. Though I don't fancy Timmeh vs yorkers.

 

[Daemon]

They've clearly been practicing bowling yorkers. No surprises that Ishant is the only one who still can't bowl them.
