India v New Zealand (WTC FINAL, replay-- NAHHHHH) at the Ring of Fire, Dubai, 10/31 Sunday (N)-- Match #28, Group 2

[Moss]

Kohli really looked on edge all of that innings. Feel for the guy with all the heat he’s been getting, but great from NZ so far. Hardik to inject some life into this innings now.

 

[White Ball]

This is disgraceful

 

[thierry henry]

Danny appropriately marking that pivotal moment with ‘awwwww McMassive’

 

[slippy888]

why would kholi play a shot like that he had to bat through

 

[Howe_zat]

Abhishek Jhunjhunwala on TMS has just spent the entire drinks break criticising India for a lack of intent, and then the moment Kohli got out going for a boundary he immediately pivots to saying Kohli had to be there until the last few overs, steady the ship etc. Not even a moment's recognition of the contradiction.

This is absolutely fitting for Kohli's captaincy.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

The 5 specialist bowler selection looking genius now

 

[Kirkut]

We should only play test cricket.

I think every sport suffers a little from commentators pretending that strategy has a bigger role that it does - how else would they justify their armchair contribution to the product - but cricket surely has it the worst.

Why didn't they just decide to score more runs?

That's a standard subcontinent fan for you, we all think like that.

Well done Santner

 

[slippy888]

I miss the old days when we had batsman that actually where capable of taking on spin, the likes of tendulkar, azharrudin, ganguly

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Look these 2 could get it to a decent score and I expect NZ to collapse against spin. This is still 50/50

Or at least building an innings gradually even if not smashing spinners.

Oops I changed my post

 

[thierry henry]

Where’s old buddy from the other night wondering why the hapless Mitch Santner gets a gig. That’s the third time now he’s come up clutch against India at a World Cup.

 

[Aritro]

I've just tuned in. How many demons do we estimate to be in residence in this pitch?

Ah, reverse jinx here, clever..

 

[Niall]

This is abysmal from India, absolute clear out needed if this world cup continues in this manner.

Yea that Afghanistan games looking really bad
