Jesus.

I watched the first part of the innings in a bar with some mates and thought it was going alright. It takes me 30 minutes to get home, and the whole match has completely changed in that time. ****ing hell.

Good ol' NZ death bowling.

This is insane. In games that we do not collapse in, the batting line up is invincible.

Great batting, but the bowling is amazingly poor.

What happened to all the changes of pace etc
Far too many leg side deliveries. Take one side of the field out of play, or force India to at least innovate to hit to the leg side, ffs.

Ah well, it's win-win.
Watch a high scoring chase, or get a good nights sleep.

Sleep is looking good at this point.

Yeah, It's a really well balanced line up too. Sachin and Sehwag can give steady/blazing starts, Kohli and Gambhir can consolidate and keep the runs ticking in the middle overs and Yusuf and Raina can get good runs towards the end. Dhoni can do all 3.

Seems good when you think about it but we saw what happened against Australia...:dry:

But yeah I think it's a pretty godly line up. :laugh:

It seems our guys are unfamiliar with a ball called a yorker. Apparently it can be handy from time to time.

Anyway - good to see Raina and Dhoni get some runs. Too bad Yuvraj couldn't get a hit as well. Is this a sign of things to come ? I guess we'll find out on the nineteenth.

this Indian batting line up is scary for sub cont conditions if it clicks could actually see India going undefeated in the tourney.

Can't say India is peaking too early when they batted like horse **** against Australia.

They just have to keep playing smart cricket with the bat. They have the batting line-up to destroy teams. It's why Gambhir is one of our most important players. If he can go solidly for the first 20-25 overs at a SR of 90-110 without taking many risks, it leaves Dhoni to do what he did today.

Raina's third six was pure ***...Pure timing....And well done Dhoni...He needed this century desperatley..............But Kohli and Gambhir did well b/w 20~30 overs :)
