[ankitj]

Anyone knows why Dhoni keeps opting to field? Is there any advantage playing conditions wise in doing that? (Just tuned in. Sorry if it is already discussed here)

 

[Bahnz]

Yargh Guppy, don't give Blocky the satisfaction!

 

[Jono]

Wow almost ran himself out.

 

[Athlai]

Yargh Guppy, don't give Blocky the satisfaction!

God loves me too much for Blocky to win.

Batting is India's strength. They back themselves to reach any total. They don't believe they have the bowlers to defend.

NZ had the reverse situation in the late 90s - early 00s. Bowling attack of Vettori / Astle / Harris could strangle sides in 2nd innings as the bounce got lower. So batting first was the preferred option.

 

[Blocky]

Getting stuck.

 

[Prensel]

Bahnz wins.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Horrible innings from Guptill here. He should have just retired out in the first over.

 

[Contra]

haha a whole over just to get to the 100

 

[Athlai]

We're almost a third of the way to 30

Oh damn it. Well better luck next time Blocky.


P.S.

Taste it.
