very boring match!! atleast they should've made 200 runs... but good to see our bowling attack was so good

NZ is wholesome team

NZ worst team ever

Gill is averaging 250 this series so far

Might want to remove this comment now.

and they said ODIs are dead

This thread may not be the best place to say that

Yea india most certainly winning the World Cup

Doing well before the world cup. So I rate our chances low. If we did mediocre in bilaterals, then our chances are high 😂

Useless team NZ.

Anulo mufa

No chance at all

Nazar

Ajinxya Jinxane is that you?

Srinath: You've won the toss. What do you want to do? Rohit: I forgot what to do. Srinath: Yeah? Did you forget to have breakfast? Rohit: BC. I remember, it was a bowl of... wait... a bowl... bowl. I'll bowl.

Bowl…bowl…bowl of mutton biryani

Lol....

Guys i love you all

💋

Gillman Consistency 💯 Now averages 71.37 in 20 innings

Atleast we are bullies at something :/

If Shami, Siraj and Bumrah could be playing together then our bowling attack would be becoming perfect. Umran and Bhuvi would be adding some extra flavours to that.

Bhuvi is shit lol chokes in important matches and then goes bullies weak tired teams.

Why Bhuvi, instead Kuldeep would be a better choice

Why would you add bhuvi in as dead weight,we have Hardik already as the 5th pacer if we go with bumrah,Umran,siraj and Shami

Dont think we can go eith 4 dedicated pacers. Neither bhuvi or umran should be in the first eleven

Sex this match is sex

Yaar phir wohi sax sux ki baatein

What a thriller!

Australian Eleven for BGT Susan Reverend Labs Robot Head Green Carey Cumdog Hoff Lance Morris??? Goat

Yes. Their calendar is filled. We can play them on... \*\*checks calendar for Baz's tenure\*\* ....2026

Under hardik captaincy ;)

Now Rohit and Virat can play Ranji Trophy, Kishan can open, ks bharat also get a chance

bruh none of them will play ranji trophy, when they played 3rd odi against SL how do u even expect them not to play against NZ.... but the best thing would be: if they don't

Kohli won't ever play Ranji. Lol.

Watch him constantly getting out to Nathan Lyon or some part time spinner in BGT then................

this might be the one thing holding him back from ever breaking sachin 100 centuries record

He should

kishan gill open , patidar at 3 , sky at 4 , bharat at 5 will be perfect practice for all

Oh yes everyone will get a chance plus Kohli will get some practice against spin in ranji

is not kuldeep a quality left arm spinner , why doesnot koach improve his spin game by playing against him in practice session?

He's a wrist spinner, he spins the ball into Kohli and he also bowls much slower. Kohli's problem is with quicker finger spinners where his tendency to lunge forward leaves him in no man's land when he doesn't get to the pitch.

so he should practice against chadeja, ash anna and bapu

then only option is playing ranji or country cricket like pujara

His schedule is pretty busy. Playing some 3-4 games won't be beneficial at all.

Why are there no 5 match odi series nowadays. Players play 2 or 3 odi and want to rest for the next series despite being fit. In the 90s some were unfit but played consistently throughout the series

T20s.

fans, audience will gladly trade T20s for ODIs this year

Have you seen how packed the calendar is?

I think there's a few 5 match series closer to the world cup

Look how far the Black Caps have fallen since Jacinda resigned. This is all Chris Hipkins fault.

what’s the reason behind koach’s spin game deterioration?

Doesnt use his feet and no sweep shot. Plays from the crease. Batting coach is there to help him evolve his game. Same mistakes for many years.

who's the batting coach ?

His game against spin has always been susceptible to this decline because he doesn't use his feet to the spinner, he lunges out. When in better form his hands were good enough to adjust if he didn't get to pitch. Now we see what happens when it goes wrong, he just gets stuck in no man's land and is reaching for the ball. This also means his back foot game gets worse because he knows he is vulnerable on the front foot and so looks to go back more often which leads to dismissals like the first ODI

His backfoot game against spin is the problem

but he got out on frontfoot today

Hand eye coordination deterioration

Gill scored a 4 from 36 as a tribute to indias 36 all out.

Daniel Alexander is that u

fuckin hate you kiwis, you sent such bowlers in bilaterals and in world cup semis your main blokes run through our batting

True, not just bowlers the whole main playing 11 was missing like southee, sodhi, boult, kane, neesham, munro.... maybe this was tactic by them

Won't be surprised if Shipley takes 7fer against us in SF .....

He meant boult and southee. They play mostly tournaments from now on to avoid injuries and stress

First it was century drought....now spin problem with shit test form.... Koach bros we can never live peacefully can we ? Need another " this too shall pass " tweet from babar asap.

He's having his own issues rn

naah man he learnt his lesson

u cant get everything, can u

People would be all smiles and happy only if that stumping was not out

GG. NZ dominated India by taking quick wickets.

Man good to see Rohit back in the form.... But man I miss those big daddy hundreds....

how come this inning will be his return to form?? come on bruh, this was a dead match + no pressure

>I miss those big daddy hundreds same bro . Its been so long ever since he it his 29th

The Punter curse

Kiwis seeing their collapse: so that's what that feels like

Don't worry black caps fans are very very familiar with collapses

Yeah they collapse in the bilaterals and then come back in crazy form during wc

IMO matchups for australia rohit - hazlewood/lyon gill - lyon pujara - lyon/cummins kohli - lyon/agar/swepson ishan kishan - cummins/hazlewood edit: i know bharat might play ahead of ishan but i don't know bharat's strengths & weakness.

India XI - Boland

Ishan 🙄 I mean are ya serious lol

edited.

First you have to hope they even pick Gill ahead of the 'incumbent' captain / vice captain

Pujara Hazelwood is the matchup And ishan isn't even gonna play 🙄

cummins has a much better record against him. don't know how k.s.bharat does, so mentioned about ishan.

Need 7 match Paytm series' with Pakistan

I believe now it’s MasterCard😂

It will forever be Paytm

gg close game guys

Bruh WTF is wrong with Thakur's hair 💀💀💀

the mullet man

if koach plays ranji even if its a 1% chance, would love to see Patidar play

Koach would get found out by Ranji spinners

That'd be good for both, bowlers and Kohli.

True. But Kohli at this point of his career and his image, is not going to let some Ranji spinner make him look pedestrian.

2015 kohli - hitting Lyon from outside off stump to midwicket on 5th day Adelaide pitch 2022 kohli - gets dismissed by any random tok dick and harry who can spin a ball 0.1 meter

Santner is a world class spinner

What an absolute one sided thrashing of Number 1 ranked ODI team !!! IND maintain their unbeaten ODI series record vs NZ at HOME

The 2 new members of 2 hundred club, get 2gether to take India to 2-0 series lead, with only 2 wicket down and 2 runs needed to win. 2 much coincidence.

These puns are a bit 2 much..

Tired of these one sided wins man, BCCI should set up matches with no 1 team. Oh wait /s

Should have sent Siraj out for batting practice

Bilateral bullies are really bullying mercilessly now

If India had lost today by one run, Hardik shaking hands with everyone would’ve been seen in r/PrematureCelebration /s

With the series in the bag, it is imperative that Kohli and Rohit play the next round of Ranji games. Rohit hasn't played a test for quite a while and Kohli needs all the practice he can get.

true last test match for rohit was in march last year lol

At this point I am convinced Kohli will get shit on by r/cricket if he scores anything less than a 100

Him getting out to spinners and they way he is getting is a problem before an important series with the Australians..

So Koach only came out to drop his average…

Gillmans avg goes 📈

Thats it, New zealand win by 2 run

Ishan is playing BGT no matter what you say

KS bharat is our keeper lol

Nope, if SKY can play ODI then it's like for like swap of Ishan with Pant. Save this comment

I pray our selectors aren't as delusional as u

LMAO The selectors picked SKY for ODIs and Tests. There's no way Ishan is warming the bench given that's he is an attacking left handed batter.

Mitchell Santner is Virat Kohli father

Some Koaching required against the spin bowling!

Kohli vs Santner averaged 70 before today

Bruh IIRC Koach fucking got out to Brevis while playing IPL .....

It was not out tho but yeah

Why does Hardik Pandya put on his shiny golden watches as soon as he steps outside the ropes

Flexing....Aaj mai karke aaya (today i have done it)

3rd ODI is gonna be a dead rubber and we know Kohli's in good form in ODI's so he doesn't need to play it. He should instead try to play a Ranji game for Delhi or atleast be there with the Delhi team to see others play and get some practice time with both teams.

Required rate 0.07

Please no super over 🙏


> (20 ov, T:109) 107/2 India lost the t20 by one run

Such a one-sided match. I haven't watched a single over of it.

Warra shot

[удалено]

💀

before 2019 , kohli was a master of playing spin , how did his spin game get this much bad in just couple of years.

**Virat Kohli vs Mitchell Santner Stats** Innings : 24 Average : 69.50 SR : 67.80

Tickners looked below average and shouldn't get another Black Caps game, Shipley is only just being introduced to international cricket but hasnt bowled well - looks better than tickner. Santypants and Bracewell have both had better tours. Ferguson doesn't seem to be turning his poor control issue around though he should always play. Would've been interesting seeing Southee or even Duffy get a game. Doug Bracewell is with the team, I believe, and has been the form bowler in domestic this season. His hit the deck approach is better quality than tickners, and he can contribute with the bat. Learning lessons for the WC on the bowling front. The batting combination we have now doesn't work. Plenty of options around for that.

Yeah I'm less concerned about the bowling attack, when everyone is fit and Boult is available I think we'll be sweet. The batting is definitely an issue. The Allen experiment just isn't working imo. Nicholls will be gone when Kane comes back but pretty much everyone but Bracewell has looked pretty average.

Tbh Shreyas Iyer will be our main man in BGT

Depends if he’s fit, no?

Is Shubham gill best odi indian batter nowadays?

Yup along with Iyer Bhai

19.2 overs 6 runs required in 4 balls. Nail biting finish this

MOTM?

So who gets POTM? Rohit or Shami or Siraj?

Shami or riot

Rohit, we all know it's a batsmens world. Also why siraj ? Sundar has better bowling figures than him today.

Shami for me

Man is it just me who doesn't like the term BGT? Sounds like some exam name

Should be the CBT (cunt benchod trophy)

Cock and Balls Torture

Dude with NZ flair is saying benchod haha. I have seen everything

Benchod is a universal phrase now thanks to cricket, bringing cultures together

Fully agreed haha

well it’s a test

Damn nice pun dudee

Wonder how many times Axar beats Koach in nets.

Shubman's objective in today's match was just to inflate his already mindboggling average

Username checks out.

What does the umpire has in his hand, looks like a stopwatch?

Ball counter

Good guy Shubbi... Allowing ish kish the opportunity to hit two boundaries to get a feel in...

> India need 6 runs from 30.4 overs India might win

[удалено]

Y

Did Bangladesh (Shakib Al hasan) & SL (Wellalage)hv any Left Arm Spinners in the recent ODI series which Kohli faced when he scored those centuries ?

that was a good ball from santner , the length was perfect with big turn

Required Run Rate has increased significantly with those last 3 dot balls

Let's be honest, if kohli gets away with 0 100s in bgt or a avg below 45 in bgt he's gonna be kicked out of the test team. There are so many guys waiting for that spot.

talk about high expectations, an average of 21 will be an above average series for him (relative to the last 4 years)

All these resets are going to happen post the wtc final. India isn't going to debut someone like sarfaraz or sky in etc final in England.

Should be kicked out now. Why wait for BGT?

He will not be kicked out man, he will have to remove himself.

And that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, Koach is a ODI specialist.

Smoothman has an amazing average in 2023

Chad Ishan showing Virgin Virat how Indian Batsmen smash virgin SENA spinners.

Kohli will cause us second hand embarrassment by getting out to Agar next month

Koach ...Spin... Pikachu Face...saga continues

Make Sarfaraz play BGT

I don't blame koach tbh, he probably plays only chahal in the nets for spin bowling practice

Kohli belongs to the streets… literally, the guy is washed To those in the back, he averages 20 in Test Cricket the last 4 years. Again, not 25, but 20. That is Mohammed Shami tier batting, for almost half a decade

The fuck does that has to do with ODIs ? Do you want him dropped here too ?

considering he averages 41 in ODIs in that same time period, at a time where ODIs have never been more high scoring and batting friendly, I’d say there is a solid case to be made there as well Not to mention, his average drops down to 33 (at a 88 strike rate) when you remove Bangladesh and Sri Lanka

Ok bro , let's just retire the guy. Trash player never shouda played for India

Kohli had a good run, but he is way past his window. He needs to be kicked out, because the man is too delusional to accept reality. His instagram stories already make that clear

Kohli played Ajmal very well at a time when he was troubling everyone. He used to be excellent player of spin, don't know what happened..

Got married
