New Zealand Tour of India, November 2010/11

[icyman]

He is better than our other bowlers, but he stil truly suck at death.

Show me one Indian bowler who does not suck in the death overs.

Also, where can we fit Pathan ? Big batting problem this ...

Which Pathan are you talking about ? Yusuf or Irfan. If a Pathan has to be in the team, I'd vote for Irfan. Yusuf is all domestic talk, can't perform at the highest level.

Yusuf is all domestic talk, can't perform at the highest level.

Well what do you know, today might just be the day he decides to perform at highest level

Nehra is trying to bowl yorkers!! he'll be able to bowl them soon enough

 

[ajdude]

Damn, Franklin was absolutely smoking it in that last over, deserved a ton!

 

[deepuparayil]

Nehra is probably the worst bowler in the death overs, I doubt about him having a brain.

Geoffery Boycott once famously remarked Nehra to have the looks of a clueless farmer when he retuns back to start his run up.
well we should give him last run in this WC and bid adios.

 

[icyman]

We have a good match finally. NZ would have gained back some of their lost respect and would be going all-out for a win.

Well what do you know, today might just be the day he decides to perform at highest level

One performance should not guarantee him automatic selection for the World Cup. You do not want to carry liabilities around with you in such a prestigious tournament.

Wow what a knock by Franklin, that is the best I've seen him bat at this level. Given Oram hasn't produced one of those knocks in ages he'll struggle to get back in.

 

[AkshayS]

Franklin played amazingly well in death overs, looks like in red hot form. Great batting and looks like NewZealand gonna run away with this.

Show me one Indian bowler who does not suck in the death overs.

Ajit Agarkar. He was one of the finest Indian bowlers to bowl during the final overs.

Ajit Agarkar. He was one of the finest Indian bowlers to bowl during the final overs.

Yeah but TBF he sucked in general though.

 

[relentless_rock]

that was very unsportsmanlike of Rohit Sharma to not walk off after such a huge inside edge. Bad umpiring yes, but Sharma should have walked.

 

[AkshayS]

Hybrid Nehra and Agarkar then.

 

[AbhishekS]

that was very unsportsmanlike of Rohit Sharma to not walk off after such a huge inside edge. Bad umpiring yes, but Sharma should have walked.

He is struggling and is desperate to make a comeback in the side. Anyone would do so, not just Rohit.

 

[Cricketman]

I hate this entire Indian squad barring Ashwin, Gambhir, Zak and Kohli. UGH UGH UGH

PARTHIV PATEL GTFO.

 

[relentless_rock]

He is struggling and is desperate to make a comeback in the side. Anyone would do so, not just Rohit.

But that tells a lot of his character and self belief. We dont want our youngsters setting such low standards in desperation.
This innings whatever he ends up making should not count towards any claim back in the side.
