India tour of New Zealand - Jan to Feb 2014

I wish commentators in cricket put more oomph into their commentating. Is there a reason why commentating jobs are given to ex-cricketers? I feel like I can toss a pebble in a room full of guys and hit one at random that can entertain us more than most commentators. It's not like they say anything profound that no one can guess either.
 
This Corey Anderson guy is a monster. He is hitting it so cleanly.
 
Ishant Sharma's career should Rest In Peace! He has been clearly picked in line up to add experience but he end up embarrassing every time.
 
Does Zaheer not play ODI's anymore?
 
Nice death bowling from Shami and Bhuvi, Bhuvi especially was really good with his yorkers. Maybe Dhoni needs to leave him more overs at the end. Ishant as usual has been atrocious.
 
I think Bhuvi+Shami bowled more yorkers in the last 2 overs than what all Indian bowlers bowled in the last 3 ODI series combined
 
Zaheer has been dropped since he stopped taking wickets and got fat again. Then he lost the weight and didn't have a spectacular comeback in SA. Since Zaheer is old, they're trying to bring new "talent" in.

Why Ishant gets the spot ahead of Zaheer is beyond me. Also, why Ishant gets the spot above any other bowler is beyond me. My only guess is Ishant gives Dhoni a nice round of fellatio post-match.
 
India will definitely give hard time to NEWZEALAND team. They have both good bowling and batting. Especially the young players like shami, rohit, dhawan, yadav, jadega.
Its a big series for both team and INDIA should win this too.
I love to see the attacking style of batting from dhawan and classical batting from VIRAT KHOLI.
 
Ishant is so horrible that it's not even funny anymore. Varun Aaron has to be ther enext match. Anderson ruined Shami's figures but other than that Shami has bowled well and Bhuvi did a great job as well. Seems like Ashwin has forgot how to take wickets away from home. Need to get Mishra in or even Binny.

----------

BTW Corey Anderson is coming to CSK.
 
Ok and whatever happened to Praveen Kumar? Quality bowler who can swing it both ways, would have been perfect in these New Zealand conditions.
 
Hint: Ashwin never knew how to take wickets away from the subcontinent.

----------

Praveen Kumar was dropped and has had major behavioral problems in the domestic circuit. He had to get psychological help. He had struck umpires, snapped at his own teammates to where they were scared to approach him, etc.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is an improved version of Praveen Kumar with a bit more pace and a little better attitude.
 
Never knew that. Well hopefully he can redeem himself as he was a quality bowler.
 
Why doesn't Ishant bowl like that more often? That was almost a perfect final over. Great finish from India, just shows how valuable it is when you have bowlers that can bowl yorkers. Can't believe I'm saying this about India but they have really improved their death bowling.
