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

[silentstriker]

He's a great ODI batsman but he has been served up a road in this semi final to make it as easy as possible for him.

He didn't look so good in the last WC semi final against us in England on a pitch that wasn't a road.

I thought the BCCI switched out the pitch or whatever and it was a raging turner? And icc WANTED a road. The bcci acquiesced to the icc?

 

[Athlai]

****ing idiots even letting Iyer make runs. Just bowl bouncers to him.

Ferg hasn't seemed to be able to get it to bounce much higher than the chin.

They should have played KJ.

They did. But it was bungled.

Kohli now 700 runs + for the tournament.

 

[trundler]

Just tall poppy syndrome. This is 100 above par precisely because of these two. Let's see how India's spinners do before casting judgement on a couple of quite overs against a soft ball on a slow deck.

He's made a 100 in a semi final , runs on the board more valuable than ifs buts and maybes . Ferguson, Boult and Southee have been really poor perhaps more focus should be on this aswell.

 

[Andyhere]

I doubt it'll get anywhere near this but it would be pretty funny if this got run down in the 49th or 50th over when they easily could have got an extra 20-30 runs by taking more risks.

Game the bit you in your back for sure. They need a big finish. Fall of wicket, SKY must come

 

[eroticfishcake]

Kohli dropped!
and next ball 6

 

[King Kane]

You have to take those Phillips.

This pitch doesn't seem to be a raging turner so far but it will probably look like one when Jadeja and Kuldeep bowl.

 

[silentstriker]

Rest of the batsman are hitting at 135 though.

Anyway, he's done kinda well, expect he'll start hitting out now.

Well that’s kind of the point in a format like this right? One guy settles in and rotates the strike and the other guy hits?

[Athlai]

Pain

 

[trundler]

A 100+sr SF ton. This is literally a flawless* innings.

Aside from the drop last ball*

 

[eroticfishcake]

Kohli gone
good for India

 

[King Kane]

Good catch from Conway so thankfully that Phillips drop didn't cost us too much.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Leave it to a Wellingtonian to take the catch, can't trust those pretty boy Otago Volts.

 

[h_hurricane]

Takes his WC semifinal batting average from 3.67 to 32.

 

[Athlai]

Out twice in the over bringing his first chance average down to less than 60
