*Official* India Tour of New Zealand 2019

[Grasshopper]

I wonder how much can be read into Southee missing out for the second consecutive game. Is it too much to hope the selectors have finally seen the light and he'll struggle to get back in?

 

[thundaboult]

59/2 from 16. We are going at under 4 an over. ummm...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is loverboy Hardik even threatening?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

chill out kane. Totally ok with these two being a bit conservative, if we lose one now its game over wheras we have a chance of defending 250 odd.

****s sake

rip

 

[Zinzan]

I hate patterns

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The pressure of run scoring at play.

Big wicket that.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is the longest '50-60' in ODIs.

Feels like it's been forever in the fifties

Yeah, **** this. Not sure I want to watch any more.

 

[straw man]

India look a really good side - they and England certainly a clear step above the mid-tier of us, Australia, SA and Pakistan.

I know India have some question marks in the middle/lower order so a clever trick by NZ to not let them work at that at all this series.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Finally 60!

Come on Tommy boy, give us a good performance.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Perhaps Williamson to open and Nicholls at 3 where he has a superb list a record for Canterbury

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

These are really cheap overs from Hardik.

 

[Flem274*]

kane is the #3. that's set in stone and should be.

good point from styris here. nz did tour india respectably not long ago with this same team. india have clearly improved demonstrably since. crushing side.

kanes being throwing away scores all summer (his ton in the uae the exception) which is scary for nz.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Are there any cheat codes to play against India?

In a video game, they would be around 97.5 rating

 

[Bahnz]

Latham's probably looked the most fluent out of all our batsmen this series, but he keeps finding innocuous ways to get himself out.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Keep the scoreboard ticking over. Bad balks will come.

Latham's probably looked the most fluent out of all our batsmen this series, but he keeps finding innocuous ways to get himself out.

commentators making good points about latham - he doesn't seem confident driving the spinners down the ground which massively reduces the threat of his sweep.

Are there any cheat codes to play against India?

Is this how you got Holder to score a double ton?

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, wrt those pointing out how good India are currently. We run the current world #1's really close last year with this side, so it's not like they completely useless. But India have found a fantastic formula with this current outfit. Really hard to see anything other than an England v India final at this stage.
