New zealand White Ball Tour of India : 3 ODI & 3 T20I : Jan 18- Feb 01, 2023

[Pinch hitter]

Superb Yorker from Shardul... Lord has done the job...

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Great Innings that from Bracewell.

 

[icyman]

Absolutely poor and pathetic attitude from India. Let the f***g decision come through!

Why celebrate even before the DRS gives it out

the DRS was a formality, it was a Yorker length on middle stump! Clearly taken for the sake of it - everyone knew the decision.

This carnage from Bracewell reminds me of Yusuf Pathan's century against South Africa. Luckily Santner is giving excellent support to Bracewell so that he doesn't have to fight a lone battle.

India vs RSA scorecard

EDIT: In the end, it wasn't enough but what an incredible innings from Bracewell. I would say he overshadowed Gill's double ton. An innings to remember for a long long time.

 

[Fenil]

On a completely different note, is it just me does Tickner look a bit like Starc to anyone?

 

[Fenil]

I hope Indian team management comes to their senses and acknowledge that Thakur the bowler is not up to the mark for the ODIs at the moment.

I am amazed. Is Deepak Chahar injured again?

Yes he is injured and nowadays gets broken after 1 or 2 games.

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Yes he is injured and nowadays gets broken after 1 or 2 games.

Bhuvi 2.0

Rohit Sharma was again piss poor with his captaincy Bracewell took the game away just like Mehidy Hassan did in the first ODI last month.

His field placement, selection of bowlers and inability to contain tail is exposed again and again be it last year's IPL or Asia Cup or any other LOI the bloke just crumbles under pressure.

Makes we wonder how instrumental Malinga was in his IPL success with those titles at the death.

He clearly panick under the pressure and has been doing it for a long time as well.

It was, but why can't we wait for the decision instead of celebrating prematurely. I understand it was a done deal, but to expect it from India,I cannot!

People like Char who have shot to fame on the basis of IPL need to understand that they ought to keep themselves fit throughout.

I am happy with the BCCIs transition towards the DEXA and fitness levels. Should put an end to IPL talents coming through straightaway.

Bhuvi 2.0

Should be done and dusted. He was already gone a couple of years ago. Surprises me that he even held onto his IPL contract this year.

 

[Fenil]

I am amazed. Is Deepak Chahar injured again?

Yes. This is so frustrating. He has got a glass body. Even Bumrah is recovering (but somehow will magically become fit to play the full IPL).

 

[asprin]

The instances of having the game firmly in your grasp only to then win by a whisker is getting to an alarming level. It's becoming a pattern now. Our death bowling is masking our home wins but how long can they sustain this?

A very entertaining knock nonetheless. Kept me interested in an otherwise one-sided battle.

 

[asprin]

Just watched the highlights and noticed that Gill brought up his 50, 150 and 200 with a six each. You normally wouldn't see people taking chances when nearing a milestone.
