Is India vs New Zealand going to be broadcasted?

 

[Howsie]

Wow New Zealand is actually doing well here, 32 without loss after four overs. Praveen Kumar is getting some stick at the moment.

Edit: Typical McCullum, get's a start and then get's out. God I wish we had a decent back-up keeper, McGlashan maybe but ehhh. Guptill should be opening with Ryder.

Howsie added 17 Minutes and 45 Seconds later...

58-1 of 8 overs. Hopefully we play like this come the tournament, I'm getting sick of McCullum trying to play like a real batsmen, we need quick starts like this.

Guptill of the mark with a six I see, I bet you it was a pull shot.

Really good start, would love to see these guys go on with it. Get a bit of confidence in the team!

 

[Amiya]

Following the scores on cricinfo and i think Ryder is going to score a century here. Indian bowling is pathetic asusual.

I hoped Praveen to perform well,but he also become a rotten one.Our pace attack is totally hopeless.

 

[Howsie]

Ryder's starting to deal with Sharma now, he's just hit a six and a four to bring up his 50 of 36 balls.

He'll get out now

Yeah exactly my thoughts, it would just be typical of how our top order is going lately.

 

[deepuparayil]

I think this is a bowling pitch,otherwise the score will be 120/0 in 15 overs.

Are you serious? is a 6.28 run rate is not enough for a 50 over game?

 

[deepuparayil]

Not enough against this kind of crappy pace attack.

 

[nz0003]

And there goes Guptill, disappointing but he always seems to fail/struggle against spin. Kick on Jess!

EDIT: Cricinfo screwed up, it was Jesse that got out.

 

[deepuparayil]

I Think it is better for Indian team to try 2 pace bowlers and 2 specialist spinners rather than 3 faqing worse pacers and 1 spinner.

The match should have been telecasted live. This is disappointing from Espn-Star.
