12th Match - India v New Zealand

[ataraxia]

He was initially away for league T20, when he came back Rachin was injured from the blow to the head in the outfield so slotted back in. Young will/should probably make way if he doesn’t score in this game, unfortunately. Take away the century and it’s been a string of single digit scores

Conway was on the bench for the game that Ravindra was injured, iirc

Oh okay, I stand corrected then.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

This is a dead rubber

So was the 3rd test when we toured India a few months ago but it still meant a lot.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Yes

As well as being 6 ft 8, KJ swings the ball more than Jimmy Anderson

Missing Richie Benaud

This is bad. If we're going to have to play Australia, we should at least want it to be in the final.

Hmm, why does Doull keep saying certain players love a men's ICC event ...

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Probably the best batting lineup in the tournament vs the best bowling attack

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Ah Rohit playing a Rohit shot

 

[SkyBlue]

The moment they play a half decent bowling attack, this team gets exposed.

Pandya as 2nd seamer in this game... If they don't score 300, this should be an easy chase for NZ. Probably have the better players of spin too compared to other teams.

nice confidence booster for jamo

Yeah the game vs South Africa was his first match since the WC. Like, we haven't played heaps of matches since that WC but he definitely hasn't been in the side. In that timeframe Young has been the mainstay, moreso the the captain(s).

 

[King Kane]

Rohit looking at his bat like that was to blame, it was just a bad shot.

 

[James]

Hard to know if both teams will want to win this, the winner plays Australia so I guess that depends on if they think they will be easier to beat than SA,

Given our record against the Aussies , I think we'd much prefer facing SA in the semis.

 

[SkyBlue]

Another blinder from Philips

GP!!

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

He's done it again......

 

[Fuller Pilch]

GP just doing GP things...
