5th Match - India v Pakistan

[SkyBlue]

Pakistan creating dot ball pressure

Wicket is around the corner here

Very slow partnership so far

 

[Silver Silva]

Kohli just loves batting vs Pakistan no matter the form

 

[SkyBlue]

As the late great Warney said, if Pakistan were a good fielding unit, they would've won a lot more trophies than they have

Pakistan and fielding never go hand in hand

 

[SkyBlue]

When Iyer hits them, he hits them big

Well besides Tests

Makes me curious whether there's statistics out there surrounding fielding and ranking teams by their fielding/catching standards.

NZ would be #1 I think with Aus and SA not too far behind

Well besides Tests

Now we know that a Pakistan Test Series was all needed for Kohli to score some goddamn runs

NZs have been pretty poor for a while

 

[SkyBlue]

NZs have been pretty poor for a while

I think if we are going to measure fielding standards, we'd have to be looking at how many runs have been saved as well with ground fielding

NZ will have to be right up there in that scenario

Maybe that is what is needed to get his test form back to old days then.

I like the new thing ICC are doing here with the 3rd umpire reviews for run-outs. Looks like the 3rd umpire is already privy to the video evidence of the side angles, so the on field guy just asks him over the walkie talkie and gives the decision. We, as viewers, get to see it after the decision is made and the decisions are made far quicker. Very welcome innovation.

Well at least there is no debate over the Player of the Match today. Kohli is just a cheat code against Pakistan lol. India's depth is terrifying. Missing some legends and still crushing it. Pakistan have been far too mediocre for too many years now.

Imam pulled off a blinder lol

 

[capt_Luffy]

Lol didn't expect this from Pakistan

Looks like Kohli isn't getting the century after all

 

[SkyBlue]

Old Indian team approach would've been to play slow so Kohli gets to his century

Good change. Kohli doesn't need another century. This is Team India not Team Kohli

I get the feeling he is too tired to play the big shots, probably told the dressing room and that is why the other end guys are going for it and he is happy with the red ink.

A Kohli 100 will make this game more memorable. If I was Axar I would make sure gets his ton , it really doesn't matter when it's 19 off 60 who finishes the job. India can only be sure of top spot if they beat NZ anyway
