India tour of New Zealand - March 2009

[playkid12]

Some horrible horrible Indian fielding.

Also, I don't understand MSD's captaincy sometimes. Why even bowl Yuvraj when you have Sehwag on the team? He has been bowling Yuvi for a while over Sehwag. Sehwag is such a good bowler. Perhaps a bias because they're good pals?

It's probably a right-left thing, the ball turning a different direction at either end.

Huge over off Harby and now McCullum is getting stuck into Yuvraj. Kiwis certainly are giving this total a good whack and there is some good hitting to come.

 

[angryangy]

uh-oh, drinks break spells trouble for NZ.

 

[playkid12]

Damnit, bring Sehwag in

NZ should win this on a canter now.Poor display by the Indians.Harbhajan has been aweful.
247 from 184 balls in this ground should be a cakewalk with 10 wickets in hand.Atrocious fileding display by the Indians.It looks like they`ve rested on their laurels.

Why bowl Yuvraj when you have Sehwag in the side?

NZ clearly the favorites here,especially with a batting powerplay,Oram,Guptill and Taylor left.

 

[naresh091]

My instincts say NZ are gonna win this comfortably.

 

[aditya123]

I`d bring Zaheer/PK in for a couple here.

I ask again. Why is Yuvraj still bowling ?

aditya123 added 6 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

Why is he not trying Sehwag or Yusuf Pathan ? They are taking a liking to the Pie-chuckers`pies !

McCullum and Ryder have set it up perfectly for NZ who can now go for a powerplay in the slog overs with either Oram,Taylor or even Ryder in there !

 

[mattfb]

Huge wicket right there, the breakthrough comes even if it is from a runout. Some top fielding and poor communication there. If India can get 1 or 2 more quick wickets they should win this easily.

 

[aussie1st]

What a waste of a wicket especially with it being McCullum. From what I have seen of Guptill he can certainly give the ball a whack but I guess the commentators are right in saying Taylor is a better smasher of the spinners.

 

[naresh091]

Taylor gone.Great piece of work from dhoni and yuvraj(I think).C'mon guys.Lift your game!

 

[aussie1st]

NZ falling apart here, Guptil gone now to a dodgy decision. Really need some Oram magic to get home now.

 

[playkid12]

New Zealand have basically thrown two wickets away so far...

MSD really needs to stop bowling Yuvraj. He's not the best spin option.

And right after I say that, he takes a wicket.

 

[naresh091]

Woohoo Guptill gone.India are clearly back in the game now.Dhoni's confidence on Yuvraj got paid finally.India are real favorites of this game now.

Congratulations to Ryder for the Century! Well done! Complexity and tension seem to lose way. India are looking like the giants again now. But these 10 overs will be crucial, at least save up 5 overs and you can make tasks even more difficult for NZ. Good performance till now.
