New Zealand tour of India (Sept-Oct 2016)

Well its good his wishes are getting true and lower order is being tested but this is not a good middle order. We need one more good number 6 and then Jadav can come. Axar I am not worried as once Ashwin and Jadeja are back they will replace Axar and Mishra giving India a better batting lower order

Axar doesnt infuse any confidence .. he just doesnt look international standards to me for some reason :|

The thing here is that Akshar has to take the risk against one of the left arm spinners. Dhoni is not going to take any risk right now.

Exactly, it seems that his only good season with KXIP got him into the side. There are many better players out in domestic who can perform much better then him. He is even worst then what Jadeja was initially

He just hit a very clean six .. but still. I just don't trust him to pull it off again .. its hard to explain why. I especially doubt his ability to attack fast bowlers

Simon Doul made an amazing point on Dhoni. Right now he is on 37 from 62 and it is all ok if he stays till the end and finishes the match for India which he often does. However, if he does get out at this stage, it puts an enormous pressure on the next batsman.

I feel that if he had experiance of Jadeja, he could bat much better than Jadeja in this kind of situation. He is a very handy cricketer but needs to be given some time and I like that the team management has shown some faith in him today and sent him ahead of Hardik.[DOUBLEPOST=1476976107][/DOUBLEPOST]

There you go.

I think this game is done now .. we needed MSD till the end

The match is lost to India.... I have zero confidence in Hardik Pandya's batting...

This is the over boys, need to go after Guptil and bring down the run rate.[DOUBLEPOST=1476976505][/DOUBLEPOST]Are you kidding me Akshar?

You jinxed him into playing that shot and getting out...

 

[Aalay]

What are they doing? They need 6 an over, not 10 an over.

 

[Velocity]

I think the lower order is just choking now.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

We really need Raina back. He can bowl and bat too

The only useful thing Devcich has ever done in his international career is get injured during the match so Guppy can get the wickets he was never going to be able to.
