India tour of New Zealand - March 2009

[aussie1st]

All but over here, the big wicket of Ryder there. The McCullum run out obviously the key turning point. Ryder lost his timing with those 3 wickets and loss his now.

Lol what a collapse from the NZ batting order.Ryder failing to clear the short outfield.Really a miraculous turnaround here.Now their only hope will be a big knock from Oram and some tail wagging by Mills and Co.

Fragile times for NZ. They lost their way. Hope Oram does his magic and he seems to be on his way, he scored a single already! ..

 

[aussie1st]

All over red rover! Oram isn't in the best of form atm, I'm so use to him just coming out and smashing it every match.

I am surprised that I enjoyed the Indian bowling today... Some serious hittings by that Ryder... And Yuvi doing his job fantastically well in bowling and then, Zaheer now. But oh Munaf was poor still

Anyways, India is comfortably placed on the driver's seat to win this match.

He might not have scored a hundred but you must be a feeling a little silly right about now .

and Guptill got 1.

392 is an amazing score,especially against a test nation.

I gave NZ a little more credit in predicting this 62-38, but the way they started, I thought they will win this match with 2-3 overs to spare. Ryder and McCullum scared the hell out! But I believe in Dhoni's words that when you chase close to 8 runs per over from the start, a few good overs are enough to increase the pressure and make you do silly things.

LOVE YA DHONI!!! Didnt flinch too much when he dropped that catch. Dead pan expression and returned back to his position and moved on... Yusuf dropped that catch, same dead pan expression and moved on.... Well, it was almost like "silent assassination"! Again continues his golden run with decisions. Brought Yuvraj before Bhajji and Yuvraj got us Guptill and bowled quite tight. Harbhajan was smashed for 30 runs off the first two overs, but superbly came back to finish with 2-55 off 10 overs. Zak rocked! INDIA ROCKS!!!

Its not yet over, but India deserve to win this match.

 

[KBC]

3 fours in a row or in 4 balls.. Mills on fire, some one please put it off.

 

[naresh091]

Theres still a bit a chance for NZ to win this game imo.Both Mills and Southee are decent batsmen.Hope Im wrong.

 

[KBC]

India mustn't relax their asses yet. We still need got a job to do! Take the 2 flipping wickets.

 

[naresh091]

Why the heck is that Munaf laughing after conceding every four or a six.Its irritating really.
This partnership is really frustrating the bowlers.

This is turning really dangerous for us now.Some one should put brakes for this partnership now.

This match should end Munaf's career. This is absolutely ridiculous. He doesn't take his cricket seriously. It's been a problem for a while. He gets so many chances and he just doesn't put in the effort that other bowlers do.

 

[KBC]

Wow. This is like a movie. All over now. Yusuf picks up mills.

End of match. 726 runs scored. Well done to Both teams for this brilliant efforts. A lot of drama in the end, but it was india the victorious. Really great match. Wonderful.

Its been a shocking performance by India.At least in the bowling and fielding department, they`ve played some really shoddy cricket.Its the batting which has saved the day for India.
