*Official* Srilanka and New Zealand LO tours to India - Jan 2023

[Moss]

Macewell finally getting to show off his T20 chops. His confidence has jumped a level from the 2nd test against Pakistan, good to see.

 

[MW1304]

What a fun LO player Bracewell is.

 

[Chewie]

I was going to get an early night tonight, but this is great fun

 

[honestbharani]

Macewal is amazing but Santer has been so good as well, quietly.

Its what makes dew a great leveller in certain pitches in India in the day-night games. Sometimes the tracks quicken up and become tougher for batsmen with the new ball under lights but the dew more than makes up for it later in the game if you can keep yourself in the game till then . And that is what NZ have done.

 

[Moss]

That's a gun knock, colour me impressed.

Have been one of those who refused to take Macewell's selection seriously all along, but have to admit he's been putting in real bid for continuity,

An Oct-Nov WC will make this even more of a factor looks like

All of you guys under rate him big time. Great LO player.

Yes, definitely. Its very important the tracks are reasonable too. Coz anything that is not a batting beauty can be an absolute lottery and a win-toss, win-match situation.

I also think in quite a few parts of India, there may not be as much dew back then as well. Lets see.

 

[Chewie]

Most of us don't mind his selection in LO cricket, it's just his selection for tests that we are not a fan of

 

[Neil Young]

Fantastic from Bracewell.

 

[Socerer 01]

wtf I was told by the nerds that Bracewell sucks

 

[ashley bach]

Maceball quickly turning into a cricketing god, this is just an outstanding display.

 

[ashley bach]

Santner also playing an amazing role, 59 needed off the last 5 overs, what a partnership it's been to give NZ a crack at the win.

 

[Moss]

Siraj has been fantastic. Been very difficult for the left handers to get after him.

 

[honestbharani]

It also tells you why ODI chases have to be rethought now with #batdeep and small boundaries and dew and two new balls meaning almost no reverse swing etc.

India need to rethink their strategy with the bowlers. Washy is an excellent powerplay bowler, need to utilize him far more there along with Siraj. If Shami is injured, we should rest him for the next game and get Umran Malik in and let Washy, Siraj, Shardul and Hardik handle the powerplay bowling, in that order. Lack of imagination in Rohit's captaincy has been shocking. Its what I used to complain about Virat but seems Rohit is pretty much the same.

 

[Chewie]

Shipley has two goldens from two innings

 

[CricAddict]

Good while it lasted. Great innings from Macewell. Huge fan.

And Siraj is incredible. Always knew he will be the one to break the partnership. Best bowler for India right now easily across formats with Bumrah not being there.

 

[honestbharani]

We should not waste him in the T20s against NZ. Need him to be fit for the BG tests. I will rest him fully from the T20s.

 

[CricAddict]

We should not waste him in the T20s against NZ. Need him to be fit for the BG tests. I will rest him fully from the T20s.

It is what the selectors are doing too. He is not considered for t20s at all for quite some time now.

 

[honestbharani]

He is not in the squad for the NZ T20Is? I thought he was.
