***Official***Match #21- India vs New Zealand- October 22nd-Dharamsala (D/N)

[silentstriker]

Is this pitch so good for batting, that NZ need 300 at least?

Good but not great and will suit NZ bowlers with variable bounce. Agree with 300 to be on top and 275-280 about par.

 

[Athlai]

Dang. Reckon we really needed runs from those last two overs

 

[Aidan11]

NZ not able to get this away. Must look at 280 now.

 

[silentstriker]

Only conceding 5.5 runs an over for past five overs is top class from India.

 

[straw man]

Has been very good bowling from India. NZ could really use something from Chapman (and Santner) here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

India lifting here. 320 looks out of reach unless they manage to take full toll of the remaining Kuldeep over.

Siraj imo

0/2

Going to have to be Bumrah now.

 

[Aidan11]

Good shot.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Azharuddin-esque

 

[Athlai]

Woah. Put that right in the middle of those fielders

 

[Athlai]

Praying to the icing gods

 

[Burgey]

I don’t get why guys move around the crease against Bumrah.

 

[thierry henry]

Very poor finish this

 

[King Kane]

Chapman gone, time for the real finisher Santner to deliver.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

NZ collapsing

 

[Athlai]

We need a man with glasses

 

[Howsie]

Big L for our 5,6 and 7 here. Need to be a lot better against teams like India

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Really disappointing finish here

 

[OverratedSanity]

I don’t get why guys move around the crease against Bumrah.

I've always got the feeling batsmen dont come down the pitch enough to him at the death instead of moving around sideways tbh. His weird action probably puts them off.

 

[Punk01]

NZ collapsing

Collapse is 36 all out , not this

This is simply harder for new batsman to come in and hit shots

 

[Jezroy]

I reckon this is a rough pitch to score on. If India had taken their chances off Rachin and Mitchell, NZ would have been in big trouble.

They are either doing a terrible job here, or India are doing a great job, or this is tougher to score on than it looked during the big partnership.

hopefully 280ish is enough for the BCs
