*Official* New Zealand v India T20s & ODIs

[SteveNZ]

Hahaha. That is the worst last over batting of all time.

Southee at the death huh

LOL thanks for the hat- trick

Southee at the death huh

Ye of little faith.


(I was of little faith too).

 

[Xuhaib]

No crossing rule has to be worst rule change that nevee needed to change

 

[ataraxia]

Anyway what an innings, that off-side play was oh so fun.

I had full faith in my jinxing powers

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Great innings.

I think Malinga is the only other bowler with 2 T20i hat tricks as well as Southee.

How does this prove the no-crossing rule is bad? Proves the point that you shouldn’t be able to benefit from getting out imo. Hit a single if you want to get off strike.

 

[Moss]

Gotta admire how Southee keeps his T20 career going despite never quite convincing.

I agree,but the fact those 3 knew it and batted that way, is beyond stupid. SKY with five balls to face from Southee, the over/under would be 16.

SKY 111* (51) , the rest of the team + extras 80 (69)

I did think it would lessen the odds of tail enders rolling the dice and swinging for the fence...but these last two dunces in particular prove me wrong

Yeah if anything I think it proves the no crossing rule is gun.

To be fair, at this stage both Hooda and Washi would've been backed to swing for it regardless of match state. Just sucks that Hardik wasted 3 balls instead of 1.

It may not be the worst but i can list atleast a dozen rule changes that needed tweaking before this.

Yup, it's a great change. Punishes dumb batting.

Southee is gun

We're going to get completely trolleyed here aren't we? In our own backyard against India B

In the modern game anything that decreases consequence-free slogging is a godsend

India C >> India B > India remember
