***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

[Contra]

Pandya!!!!!!

 

[cnerd123]

Hardik rising to the occasion.

 

[Howe_zat]

People keep bagging Pandya but he took a pile of wickets in the first ODI and he's coming up clutch with the bat now. Seems like a cricketer to me

Oh look he's out b howe

 

[cnerd123]

Fuccccckkkkkkkkkk

Who is at 11? Does he have a ranji ton too?

 

[Daemon]

he was targeting the straightish boundaries, good ball and good plan

Bumrah is a rubbish batsman so Yadav has to go wild here

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hmm fair. I'd say in this case it simply wouldn't count as overthrows if the ball doesn't go anywhere near the stumps and flies over the boundary. It'd end up just being six, as though a fielder had parried it over the rope while trying to catch it.

Yeah that seems fair. But then four overthrows are kinda stupid. If the batsmen complete 2 runs and then there's an overthrow for four, they get 6 runs total. But if they run 2 before the ball reaches the boundary, and the fielder misfields it and the ball crosses the boundary, it's just 4 runs. I think in both situations, the batting team should either get only 4 or get 6. They're basically identical.

Man, cricket rules are stupid sometimes.

Bumrah has a high score of 16, which based on Axar's record I assume means he attempts to bat with his bat in his mouth

 

[cnerd123]

Oh just for context - Ranji highest scores of our lower order:



Mishra - 202*
Yadav - 128*
Axar - 110*
Pandya - 90

And Bumrah has a HS of 16*

Make of that what you will.

He may as well have

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh well

 

[cnerd123]

Aw shucks.

Was almost an epic win there.

 

[BeeGee]

Good game, very entertaining.

Overthrows are the way they are to stop fielders from getting into weird situations where sending the ball over the boundary is a better outcome than just getting it back to the bowler.

haha well the entertainment ends, but honestly NZ played like a team that was constantly worried about losing even when India were 8 down.

 

[vcs]

Good game.

 

[harsh.ag]

Nice game. Boult MVP.

 

[BeeGee]

Nice game. Boult MVP.

Yeah, nah. Williamson

 

[BeeGee]

The best thing about this victory is no more CMPunk and jonbrooks.

 

[artvandalay]

Kane is quite passive in his captaincy compared to Bmac, let the tail add lot of runs when he could've put more pressure on them.

 

[hendrix]

This is way too entertaining

If NZ actually lose this they need to hang their heads in shame, honestly.

India always had a chance.

2 wickets remaining with 60 odd runs to get at a run a ball. You're never really out of the game.

Don't really think it would have been mind boggling for NZ to lose from there.
