Pandya should be cannon fodder here

really, Bhuvi too once the tiny bit of movement ceases.

 

[trundler]

This is the duo that disgraced Pakistan in UAE. They will do the same here.

 

[Neil Young]

you weren't won over by his test performances?

Initially, no. But, latterly, definitely yes.

I wasn't particularly rational. But I'm a fan now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

really, Bhuvi too once the tiny bit of movement ceases.

Bhuvi should mostly just bowl at the death now and if he hits his yorkers as consistently as he's capable of, we'll be ok.

 

[Neil Young]

We appear 3 times in the lowest power play list of 5! Jesus.

 

[Athlai]

When do NZ declare? 350?

 

[Flem274*]

jeez nicholls was out there if that ball goes a metre left or right

 

[trundler]

Nicholls looks decent against spin

 

[Jezroy]

I know it’s early, but India don’t have a great depth in bowling today if NZ can get on top of a couple of these bowlers.

 

[Shri]

Cricket is super slow on grass

I'll take 8 more overs of this from Jaddu

Pandya's 10 could be expensive but he's found ways to pick up wickets and not go for too many this WC so far, so he might deliver year again.

Chahal is going to be the main wicket-taking threat in the middle overs, yet to bowl. Bhuvi probs going to get a big spell at the death. Bumrah might come on again if we need a wicket.

India's fielding has been a bit off so far. Atleast 2 misfields and now an overthrow.

 

[Victor Ian]

New Zealand doing well here to restrict India's scoring.

 

[trundler]

Good running

 

[Neil Young]

Agreed. Though, a better throw earlier on would have had Kane.

 

[Jezroy]

How does he find gaps like that?!

 

[harsh.ag]

Good recovery by NZ thus far. Williamson looking imperious. Nicholls holding on will mean BadRosco can come out in the 30th over and unleash hell. Calling 310 for NZ.

 

[h_hurricane]

Chahal has been pretty ordinary in the field every time one sees him. Needs to improve a lot there.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Seems like our best start of the tournament, given the quality of the opposition. Starting to gradually pick it up, a couple of wise heads batting here.
