***Official India in New Zealand***

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Be glad Mark Gillespie isn't playing then.

Was thinking the same thing. Mark Gillespie's favourite shot that.

 

[Craig]

India 4/392

Even with Patel/Kumar in the team, this total should be safe.

Munaf Patel offers nothing to Indian cricket. Nothing whatsoever.

 

[Zinzan]

Yes, because luck has never been a factor in a cricket game before.

Man, I reckon, its not like India haven't had their fair share in this series to date, Tendulkar in particular, despite playing superbly. Not sure what he's moaning about tbh

 

[straw man]

Haha, no way can New Zealand win from here?

No, they can't (or it's very very unlikely). Reminds me of Mills whacking a bunch of sixes off Brad Hogg in a loss against Oz a few years ago.

 

[99*]

How India haven't ended this yet is beyond me.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Praveen Kumar's action from side on...

 

[99*]

Best shot all day that.

 

[_Ed_]

What a 50. Kudos Millsy.

 

[Arjun]

Munaf Patel is going for even more than Yuvraj Singh in all ten. Now he surely is Irfan Minus.

 

[99*]

Mills 50. Gun.

 

[99*]

Looked a bit high?

 

[Craig]

I should this be Patel's last ODI for a very long time. India's Mick Lewis?

 

[Arjun]

Munaf bowls a waist-high (no-ball!) full-toss to Mills, who's 'caught' for a change. Now Dhoni has an argument with the umpire.

 

[Evermind]

Why is Dhoni persisting with Patel?! It's ridiculous.

 

[_Ed_]

Controversial. Was that above the waist? Hard to tell. I think it was, just, so good decision.

And my apologies to Gary Baxter, he's proved my earlier comment wrong.

 

[99*]

Patel's gone to the dogs.

And removed! NO!

 

[Arjun]

I should this be Patel's last ODI for a very long time. India's Mick Lewis?

I really don't know. The Indians have an excuse to play this ODI misfit, time and again. There are bowlers who can field, there are bowlers who can bat and even batsmen who can bowl decent seam-up. I've named three in the Indian Domestic Season thread, and they're surely better than this rubbish we're seeing, even in the 110s.

Munaf bowled yet another no-ball full-toss to get a catch.

 

[_Ed_]

No doubt about that one.

And he's gone! Out of the attack.

 

[Jono]

This could be the best thing for Indian cricket...

surely Munaf will not play intl cricket for India ever again.

****in been saying he's **** (along with everyone else who has seen him) for ages now. Lazy ****in idiotic cricketer.

 

[Arjun]

Patel is taken off the bowling crease now. Hopefully taken off the ODI roster for some time.
