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

[HouHsiaoHsien]

No it’s a testament to the rest of the team who can actually play.

Any team’s number 7 can get 5 from 14 balls, especially with 4 wickets left. Kohli has always had a better temperament than Sachin in ODIs

 

[loterry1994]

Doully was uttering nonsense. Mitchell barely took any extra balls.

I actually like Doully as a commentator. But Mitchell did his job he got it to a position where the platform was laid and there wasn’t much pressure for the guys lower down the order and all rounders could get a big score and finish the innings which is what their role is

I am not going to relive trauma that was the Indian cricket team with you. You can believe what you want.

 

[silentstriker]

India have now beaten the four out of the next five teams right below them on the icc points table? Am I reading that right? That’s pretty impressive.

That's BS, name one better chasing opener - yeah because there has been none! Before Kohli Yuvraj/MS & just before them Dravid/Kaif played vital roles in chases - in fact he's kinda following their template. Of course before all of them it was Bevan.

 

[Moss]

I don’t know how much blame you can put on Daryl Mitchell like Doully said. He was still going at like around a run ball in his 90s before the century. The other guys below just couldn’t get going and have a good cameo with him. Plus he couldn’t get much strike the last 5 overs

Pretty misguided IMO. If Mitchell got out trying to accelerate then NZ would have had even less to play with. Was right in trying to bat through, and anyway was looking quite tired. Philips/Chapman/Latham not having answers to India’s bowling in the last 10-12 overs was the bigger issue.

 

[loterry1994]

Kohlis closed out 3 games this World Cup already . I don’t wanna hear anymore BS on how he doesn’t perform at world cups now

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Disappointing to wake up to see we lost.
Congrats India

 

[King Kane]

Most dangerous cricket team on the planet is an Australian side with a point to prove. I mean even last 5 or 6 years we can agree its not been the greatest Australian side, yet still they won T20 WC and World Test Championship in that period .
I think you'll beat SA , but Australia and Pakistan they just have that Cricketing Heritage when it comes to these tournaments where they can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Yeah Australia and Pakistan are our WC bogey sides and South Africa are no easybeats either in the form they are in.

We probably just need to beat one of them to make the semi finals and we should manage that but we can't take any wins against them for granted.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Name one number three who is remotely comparable to Kohli in chases. And Kohli is so far superior as a chaser to MS and Yuvraj, that it’s a joke

Sachin fans are annoying. Kohli is the best chaser in ODI. Period.

This is actually a real good chance to beat Aus who aren’t in the best of form though. There are big issues once an opener falls early and they haven’t been able to pick up many powerplay wickets all tournament. This isn’t the same situation like previous icc tournaments. You look at the betting odds though I bet Aus will be favourites

Do it in the knockout stages and they won't. If he doesn't, it'll continue to be a thing.

 

[R!TTER]

Name one number 3 before Kohli who played 100 innings with 2 new balls?

Name one number three who is remotely comparable to Kohli in chases. And Kohli is so far superior as a chaser to MS and Yuvraj, that it’s a joke

Sachin fans are annoying. Kohli is the best chaser in ODI. Period.

He is arguably the best chaser in the world but his chases have also coincided with the best batting era ever, also I was comparing how chasing for an opener is generally harder - that's just a fact!

 

[Andyhere]

Yeah Australia and Pakistan are our WC bogey sides and South Africa are no easybeats either in the form they are in.

We probably just need to beat one of them to make the semi finals and we should manage that but we can't take any wins against them for granted.

South Africa the one that lost to Netherlands?
They are good team in patches and probably the most inconsistent team. Can put up monster performance or can burn to the ground and in world tournaments teams that are no threat as they are destined to fail!

I feel SA are a good team at what they do best ..

Bat first , lay a platform and then the middle order murders the bowlers in the back end of the match.

But to win tournaments like this you can't just be good when everything is going according to plan, you have to also have the answers when the opposition have momentum, when you are put in situations that are uncomfortable.

Also helps that other people in the team can play, so especially the bowling.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

All said and done, it is meaningless to say Kohli choked here. He did all he had to, and left Jadeja 5 to get from 14, with 4 wickets in hand. No way that’s putting pressure on Jadeja

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nah, it was like foreplay and he left the fans with blue balls
