***Official***Match #21- India vs New Zealand- October 22nd-Dharamsala (D/N)

[Flem274*]

12 years ago barely anyone in NZ could

12 years ago we only had 3-4 international standard batsmen.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah for all the talk around 2008 that t20 leagues were going to ruin NZ cricket I think they have done the opposite. Exposed so many of our players to these types of conditions

At least the quality players

12 years ago you made the SF in this very country ffs

That's the thing though - Daryl Mitchell, Will Young and Henry Nicholls took some time to get rolling at the FC level and never got that early exposure to high quality spin.

It has been a focus of the entire system through A tours and coaching to get some basic skills against spin to be common enough in domestic cricket.

Now watch NZ collapse now I've opened my mouth.

 

[ataraxia]

Dazza Dazza we love you

 

[King Kane]

Mitchell goes boom again, he is bossing Kuldeep.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah genuinely 12 years ago, the middle overs in India vs these spinners would've made me feel queasy. Now I reckon its a huge opportunity for big runs

 

[Flem274*]

Yeah but I've retired now so I can't really help these boys.

 

[Athlai]

Big DADDY 6 that.

On boundary countback they realised Ross can carry the trophy around

We make the SF everytime. We've only actually been good since 2015

2007 was a very weird team. Could be genius, could be ****ing ****house. It changed with the wind.

 

[silentstriker]

They’ve decided to target Kuldeep. Fascinating.

 

[silentstriker]

No . whoever won the toss will chose to bowl first as dew factor . unlike other ground here dew came so early around 6PM which is time for 2nd innings start .

This is my point.

 

[White Ball]

A couple of quick poles and NZ will be under massive pressure

 

[Athlai]

2007 was a very weird team. Could be genius, could be ****ing ****house. It changed with the wind.

In 2007 we legitimately were the meme of punching above our weight. Only Bond and Vettori were truly world class players in that era. Styris was class and in great form, but a rung below

 

[Athlai]

Everyone in this thread wants Mitchell to top that list of longest six right?
