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

[srbhkshk]

Rahul playing selfishly for his quarter century here.

 

[SteveNZ]

Good over Tim, but probably not good the ball is starring to grip

 

[Athlai]

Good stuff from Southee.

 

[Punk01]

Can't be bowling Rachin at the death, just bowls too many buffet balls.

Lockie is injured @trundler

 

[Andyhere]

Not his job to hold the innings together, there's a reason Kohli has 700 runs in this cup.

Yes but Kohli seems to slow down at the wrong time. The time after getting set when you accelerate, kohli actually slows down.

 

[Athlai]

Kohli played a cracker*

*outside the 90s, the milestone hunting selfish bastard

 

[Adorable Asshole]

That's a good ball. NZ needs more of that

 

[srbhkshk]

Yes but Kohli seems to slow down at the wrong time. The time after getting set when you accelerate, kohli actually slows down.

Iyer played a maiden against Santner a couple overs ago, sometimes bowlers bowl well.

 

[King Kane]

If we can keep this total below 400 that will probably be a good result for us.

That at least gives us a chance.

 

[OverratedSanity]

SKY should've come in. Poor decision.

 

[silentstriker]

Total score is going to be a bit under what they would have wanted with the number of wickets they have in hand and the start they got. A bit disappointing there.

 

[Burgey]

Fmd that lbw not given was Bowden 05 Ashes level umpiring

 

[Daemon]

Kohli definitely slowed down a touch for his ton. But it brings his ton from like a 9/10 to 8.5/10. Still a great knock.

It’s not enough to be branded selfish imo. Selfish is playing a cover drive to a ball on 7th stump on a cloudy morning of a test in England against James Anderson.

 

[King Kane]

FFS Southee that was in the slot.

 

[Skyliner]

There should just be a box in one corner of the screen devoted to whatever banal carry on with ‘celebrities’ is happening up in the stands. Maybe the camera just goes back to Kohli or Tendulkar every couple of minutes so the Indian fans don’t get anxious / flaccid.

 

[_Ed_]

Southee has a shot at three figures here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Great knock

 

[srbhkshk]

Good stuff from Iyer, shame on NZ for allowing it though.

 

[DriveClub]

India should get to around 390 at least

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Quality from Iyer. I loved the way he moved from 90 to 100 in 5 deliveries.
