India vs NZ ODI series

[Roy_1]

India won the toss and opted to bat and in trouble already with both the openers gone, man this NZ team looks stronger than the Aussies.

[Roy_1]

Boult is firing on all cylinders now, beautiful bowling, we gotta be careful not to lose too many wks here

[Roy_1]

Dinesh Karthik in the team!! seriously man

Either the selectors have gone nuts or simply trolling the fans

[Eclipse]

Why does this jadav guy keep getting selected?

[Roy_1]

200th odi for the King

[SportingBD]

Impressed with NZ.
Spinners getting some turn also.

They need to get Kohli out soon.

[SportingBD]

This is India's chance. De grandhomme is a rubbish bowler.

NZ need to find a better replacement for that guy... totally crap.

[SportingBD]

NZ has to bowl India under 200, or max 220.
The NZ spinner already got turn on this wicket..

If India gets anything over 240+, it will be hard for NZ to win (but not impossible)

Jadhav, Karthik in the team while Pandey and Rahul sitting on bench, wah re wah

Pandey overrated. Karthik not an international material player.
Jadhav and Rahul good players.

Yeah cuz you say so

Karthik will walk right into BD team replacing Mushfiq, he doesn't get too many chances as there are better batters and keepers available doesn't mean Karthik is not intl material and if anyone in the team could match or come close to Kohli's temperament while chasing it is Pandey, we need to show more faith in him. Jadhav is a capable batter but too old and having a rough patch. Rahul is more talented than even Kohli from what I have seen, but talent does not always translates into success.

[Roy_1]

Karthik gone, good lil innings, now Dhoni will come and suck whatever the little momentum we got going on, all depends on Kohli

[Roy_1]

Amazing even in his last legs how much fan following Dhoni has

[Roy_1]

Bar Kohli not a very good batting effort so far, gotta up the ante, NZ batting with Kane, Latham, Munro and Taylor is quite strong and they do bat deep.

[Roy_1]

Dhoni gone, a blessing in disguise I hope, let's see

[Roy_1]

100 for the king

[Roy_1]

Brilliant fielding from NZ throughout

[tonoy]

Expecting a paltry NZ score. They are hapless at these conditions.

[Roy_1]

Fine innings from Kohli considering the condition and humidity, pitch is far from a pancake, I think 280 should be good enough to defend in this pitch, we would not have reached 200 it it wasn't for Kohli

[aklemalp]

Not a typical Mumbai score?

Pitch is not a flat one, has plenty juice for the bowlers, I think we should be able to defend 280 here, let's see

[Roy_1]

31 centuries in 192 innings, Kohli is the epitome of consistency

[aklemalp]

Have a feeling a wicket is gonna fall soon. How long can Taylor and Tom Latham play like this?

[aklemalp]

This partnership still on. They now need 84 to get from 72

[aklemalp]

The Kiwis are comfortable.
India can't break the partnership
