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

[KiWiNiNjA]

Wow, I was just looking at the scorecard of the match that they are showing now.

5th ODI: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Nov 26, 1995 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

During the Lunch interval, a part of the stadium collapsed, killing 9 people and injuring 70 people. The match continued in the afternoon, as the organizers feared a riot from the crowd if the match was called off.

Maaaaaaan, I didn't realise that happened.

 

[Blakey]

Whoops, not a good example, then! Haha. Should have picked one of the numerous other international failures we've had.

I'm not sure what Jeremy would do with 40,000 pies per year.

True. See gif of Smitteh in between commentary stints:

Maaaaaaan, I didn't realise that happened.

Wow, that's crazy. Shocking that they continued, but I guess they didn't have a choice.

 

[Bahnz]

Started drizzling again. Ffs Hamilton.

 

[Mike5181]

Let's just stand around and waste half an hour.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Just ****ing restart the game already.

 

[Blakey]

Haha rain again.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

They could've got in 2-3 overs there if they had started at 5, instead of staring at clouds.

 

[Bahnz]

ACC is so brilliant.

 

[Bahnz]

Bucketing down now. Doubt New Zealand are going to do any more batting today.

 

[Blocky]

Bucketing down now. Doubt New Zealand are going to do any more batting today.

TBH, that could work in our advantage due to the way DWL works, our innings isn't closed, we've got a high strike rate with a lot of "resources" available in terms of wickets in the bank.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yeah, in this case NZ are seen as being disadvantaged by the rain, as they were batting like it was a 50 over match, not a 33 over match.

So DWL is more likely to **** over India.

 

[hendrix]

from NZ's perspective:

if we don't get to bat again from here, that's ok.

However, if our innings is shortened and we do continue batting, that really sucks.

 

[Jono]

Wow, that's crazy. Shocking that they continued, but I guess they didn't have a choice.

wtfffffffffffff

 

[Blocky]

wtfffffffffffff

NZ management were approached about the incident and advised there was a high risk of rioting if the game was cancelled due to the incident.

 

[Days of Grace]

Tbf, there was a high risk of a riot whenever India lost or were losing badly in those days.

Streets would have been filled with donkeys.

Nah I know, I read that bit on Cricinfo. Still, amazingly wtf, the whole thing. Can't believe I didn't know this match occurred until I read it on here.

Yep. Which is why I don't understand why everyone hates Indian fans now, simply because there are apparently a lot of Indian trolls on the internet, instead of the previous generation of Indian fans, who burnt **** down.
