Final – India v New Zealand – Sunday, March 9 – Dubai

[James]

The ICC really need to do something about bowlers going off the field so called "injured" after completing their 10 overs.

 

[NZTailender]

So Varun is off the field, then is allowed to bowl, and then goes straight off after. The asterisks on this win are piling up!

 

[King Kane]

We need to go after Shami as the Indian spinners look unhittable.

 

[NZTailender]

Pathetic crowd. No appreciation of NZ boundaries. Terrible atmosphere and further proof India have orchestrated a home game tournament

 

[anonymouskefe]

Anyone else hearing the stadium announcer India,India,India

Come on guys, you are better than these Ian Smith style idiotic rants. Varun got his foot injured intercepting that hit from Mitchell in his 8th over. Its an external injury and therefore, the rules are very clear that he is allowed to go off whenever he wants and it wont matter how long he spent in the field whenever he does have to bowl.

4D chess from Shami, 40 overs in the making

 

[SkyBlue]

Disappointing innings from Mitchell

 

[ataraxia]

Hmm pretty evenly poised. I think the tie's the favourite at the minute.

 

[honestbharani]

I would be more worried that the NZ players were not able to after an obviously injured spinner bowling at well less than his 100% for 2 overs in the slog.

That's a choice he made tho, strategic injury imo

Also not today I'm not, let me have some fun instead of being a polite kiwi who supports a team that punches above their weight

 

[Moss]

Guess we'll reserve judgment on that innings for after the game. Far from a fluent knock, but NZ would be nowhere without it.

Good effort from Bracewell to get a partnership going. Had doubts about whether he'd survive the spin onslaught, hopefully he can take NZ to 250.

so hes injured but can bowl?

 

[King Kane]

A Santner cameo would be handy right now.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah funny how injuries work in cricket huh? Batsmen can bat injured, bowlers can bowl injured. Or are you new to the concept?

 

[anonymouskefe]

well get henry out there to bowl his 10 and then come off

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah.. spot the salty rant here. Do you even understand the rules of cricket?

 

[anonymouskefe]

So you don’t think getting a fresh pair of legs out to field the last couple overs in which every run counts isn’t an advantage. Like bringing in an impact sub to field

 

[Qlder]

Just a reminder this is the same pitch Pak scored 241 on with India chasing it down with 7 overs to spare

 

[SkyBlue]

260 looks a possibility now

NZ finishing decently here
