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

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Somebody show NZ their World Cup Squad announcement video ! They need some motivation

 

[Molehill]

NZ haven’t batted yet. Think they can be in the game even with a large score to chase.

Or they lose wickets to the new ball as has happened previously here and the game becomes a one sided affair.

 

[Aidan11]

If Kohli gets in the 90s just check Sachin isn't in the stands with a sniper rifle.

 

[Shri]

kohli 22 away from sachin's 673 in a WC record

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I bet this is the most runs scored batting first after 31 overs in a knockout game at the world cup.

Random meaningless stat.

 

[King Kane]

A shame Afghanistan didn't qualify, would've put up a better fight than this.

NZ were clearly in better form 5 weeks ago than they are now.

The pitches earlier on in the tournament had something in it for our bowlers, this pitch is a road that is tailor made for the Indian batsmen.

Most teams bowling attacks would be getting carved up in these conditions, if it's this easy to bat on tonight we might give the chase a crack.

 

[Shri]

ban 2 new balls

kohli 22 away from sachin's 673 in a WC record

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Damn Kohlis ego will be like the size of the Taj Mahal if he gets a WC knock-out hundred

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I blame the Dalai Lama

 

[Darwin Award]

Kohli can break the record of most runs in a single edition today

.. If Kohli does go onto to score a century it'll mean 2 personal records of Tendulkar will have been eclipsed during this tournament.

1.Most ODI centuries
2.Most World Cup ODI centuries
3.Most runs scored in a single World Cup

.. The only thing he'd basically have left is the overall runs in a World Cup in which Kohli is still a good circa 600 runs away from.

 

[silentstriker]

Viv Richards still one the coolest guys on the planet

100%

 

[straw man]

Will be doing well to keep India under 400 from here. Disappointed Ferguson hasn't taken a wicket amongst the pies.

No choice but to chase a ridic score then.

 

[Shri]

look at this ****

 

[Molehill]

I bet this is the most runs scored batting first after 31 overs in a knockout game at the world cup.

Random meaningless stat.

I presume the previous highest in a knockout game was the 2003 Final, and Aussies went ballistic in the last 10.

 

[trundler]

ODI GOAT just way too GOAT

Not sure if this is about Viv's commentary or Kohli's batting

 

[silentstriker]

He's like a grandpa that keeps on talking...reminiscing of his days playing cricket. He's not a cricket commentator, more of a chatter.

I’d rather listen to Viv talk about literally any story from his playing days than listen to commentators talk about how they should bowl more off cutters.

 

[Moss]

The pitches earlier on in the tournament had something in it for our bowlers, this pitch is a road that is tailor made for the Indian batsmen.

Most teams bowling attacks would be getting carved up in these conditions, if it's this easy to bat on tonight we might give the chase a crack.

NZ generally adapt well, hasn’t been the case in this half of the tournament. Discipline’s been missing and it’s cost them.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Damn Kohlis ego will be like the size of the Taj Mahal if he gets a WC knock-out hundred

That train rammed through the station a long time ago.

 

[Shri]

its a shame that we didn't get viv as a regular commentator in cricket

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I presume the previous highest in a knockout game was the 2003 Final, and Aussies went ballistic in the last 10.

NZ got 393/6 in the 2015 quarter vs West Indies.
