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

[smash84]

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

Gambhiring at its finest

 

[slippy888]

that was so close to 5 down

 

[Howe_zat]

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

Does Rohit Sharma with 6 world cup hundreds and multiple ODI double-hundreds while striking at 90+ really make you yearn for the days of Azharuddin, who had 0 in 30 attempts and had a strike rate in the 70s

 

[Kirkut]

Yea that Afghanistan games looking really bad

I won't be surprised if they thrash us.

 

[thierry henry]

Just to add to the Gambhiring, still plenty of overs and wickets in hand for a defendable score here

 

[slippy888]

india are 1 spinner short here on this pitch i think

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

53 balls since the last boundary. Dire.

 

[slippy888]

got to take on milne here

 

[thierry henry]

Can’t believe that top edge off Sodhi carried so far

 

[Kirkut]

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

No demons, just a jaded team who are going through motions. Said it after the Pakistan game.

 

[Kirkut]

Ok...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Just too hot to handle for Pant

 

[BoyBrumby]

Watto low-key saying that he used to smash Milne in the nets

Ha, yeah. I heard that too.

Did it in a polite/humblebrag kinda way, "I always felt when he didn't hit his line and length you could use his pace to get him away".

Can't argue with that nut though. 70/5.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Based on Kohli's comments, I suppose none here are qualified to speak ill of these heroes. Too bad, fellas, better luck next time?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Yes Adam

 

[thierry henry]

That was just right in the slot. No-one seems to be able to time it tonight.

 

[Niall]

That was a rancid innings from Pant.

 

[slippy888]

it seems india team have no care about this tournament, i will be happy when kholi give up captaincy

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Is this better than England's bowling performance against Australia?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Might be a bit too high
