I watched it all and he pretty much got most his wickets at important times when New Zealand were getting back in the game. I’d say his first 4 wickets were like that and he stopped New Zealands momentum for periods then they had to rebuild. I would of gave it to Shami also because nearly everyone else struggled with the ball while you had several batters score big.
oh nice then I forgot they do man of the match interviews before the captains I saw them interview shreyas and thought it was him
He did
Rohit was leading a very animated huddle. Guess he is definitely winning captaincy points this WC. Probably the first time he is winning captaincy points from me since the glorious Nidahas Nagin Trophy.
Yeah absolutely. After he removed KW and Latham, Jadeja was then able to tie down Phillips for two overs and escaped with not disastrous figures of 63 in 10. He had conceded 55+ in 8 before that iirc. Phillips was 11(17) at one point and the momentum had totally been sucked away.
Not enough dew more like. It was not the usual that leaves the ball soaking wet and bowlers unable to grip it and it stops moving off the straight. But there was enough to freshen up the pitch and ensure ball did not stop on the batsmen as much as it did in the first innings.
Worst part he is reasonably athletic and gets to the ball most times with his sprints and then does all the stupid self centred ****.
Reminds me a bit of Paul Collingwood or even Scott Styris as someone who does better at international level and in big games than at domestic level.
Me too, I think

I think he realised after last WC heartbreak that top scoring in WC doesn’t count for anything if you don’t win the cup.
Well, he didn't realise that until last year's T20 World Cup.
