***Official***Semi-Final #1- India vs New Zealand - November 15th - Wankhede, Mumbai (D/N)

[SteveNZ]

This was always going to happen to Ferguson on a flat one. Cannon fodder

 

[Punk01]

Yep, full pace off off-cutters just outside off is the go for the pacers. Mitchell might even be worth a few if he could bowl straight.

At this point i would give overs to Mitchell instead of Ferguson, he will bring more control.

 

[Shri]

kohli just bat 50 overs pls

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Gill showing why he is not Sachin's son in law.

 

[Andyhere]

NZ bowling looks seriously weak, no wicket taking options in the middle overs. Satner only decent one

 

[Test fan]

They are saving Santner for later over ?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I guess it's good placement, but the amount of shots that have been just wide of being caught so far ...

 

[Moss]

Too easy for Gill but good work on not letting the opposition string together any dot balls. Feel for KW, hard to captain when the bowlers are not offering any consistency.

 

[Andyhere]

Rachin takes some treatment too

 

[_Ed_]

Is a repeat of Phillips' heroics against Australia too much to ask?

 

[King Kane]

We need Rachin or Phillips to bowl well to take some of Ferguson's overs who is looking like cannon fodder.

Not a great start for Rachin, might be time to try Phillips.

 

[Andyhere]

Easy 10 runs overs. Nothing to get excited about Rachin's bowling

 

[Moss]

Guess Rachin was brought on with the idea of a quicker left arm spinner against Kohli. On a pitch like this you’d probably want Santner to settle into a spell?

 

[SteveNZ]

Flat pitch, wonderful batsmen and no doubt that brings pressure...but our inability to hit a length has been dire

 

[Meridio]

Why take Santner off there? He'd just bowled a good over, only went for 3, looked like he was getting his control. And then he's off for Ravindra. Why

You think I India will allow them to just get through their overs?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Agreed. Kohli isn't usually comfortable against left arm spin early on too.

Change of ends?

 

[Shri]

kohli's highest score in 4 WC semis already!

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli's moment to crown himself or **** it up
