*Official* New Zealand v India T20s & ODIs

[Fuller Pilch]

Wow, we are still no. 1, had me second guessing there I assumed we'd lost that mantle after the Aust series. We must have been miles ahead on points before that.

We lost it to England, but then regained it when Australia beat them 3-0.

Surely India have enough quality fast bowlers in their system to not pick someone just because they bowl 150 kph? ...Malik looks like another Varun Aaron to me his numbers in List A cricket and FC cricket are shocking..

No we don't.

 

[Everton Seymour]

What happened to Prasidh Krishna? He looked decent

 

[Prince EWS]

He will be back for some #punishment later.

Punish him.

Punish.

@honestbharani


Suck it.

Suck.

 

[straw man]

Personally I hate how Arshdeep was good and then Athlai casually claimed he sucks and he’s been a bit puss since

Athlai claims he sucks? Guaranteed to be an ATG now.

 

[Xix2565]

No we don't.

Tbf we do have fast bowlers, just that they're either injured or not selected.

did you watch him bowl today? I haven’t liked his selection till now but he bowled well today and no… 150 kph bowlers who are fit are rare let alone in India

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Was thinking of the McCullum 131 vs Pakistan at Abu Dhabi, don't think NZ had ever won a game in the UAE till then and was a pretty good attack IIRC (Amir, Gul, Afridi, Ajmal etc).

And Germon's knock (overshadowed by Chris Harris) in the 96 WC qf loss to Australia (McGrath, Warne and co.) was pretty useful.

 

[Prince EWS]

What an over. #punished

Lord ****

He bowls too many 4 balls

 

[ashley bach]

Thou shalt punish

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha to be fair that was the first time I saw him.

Quantum cricket. You made him suck by observing it.

Bit rough on a guy in his debut ODI who bowls nigh on 150 clicks. Although wowza, he wasn't picked on results so far in domestic cricket, was he

 

[Daemon]

He’s not put in many good performances at all, but you can see why they want to persist with him.

I just worry that in the pursuit to lower his economy short term or avoid being hit in a game, he’ll lose pace. And if that goes he’s got nothing.

If instead he has the time to work on accuracy without having to compromise on pace that’d be perfect. Don’t have high hopes for him but he’s at least exciting to watch.

Btw Dylan Cleaver impressed me a lot in the Ireland/Netherlands series albeit weaker opposition, & looked a more talented T20 option than his cousin. If Neesh continues to fail, he's not the worst replacement at 5 or 6, and he can take the gloves where he is more proficient than Conway.

Dane. Do I get a klaxon for this, cos it's a pretty **** one.

Latham!

Just woke up, did we win?

 

[Prince EWS]

I won. Thakur was #punished.
