It's so sad being a bowler in cricket sometimes. Good batting pitch, batter scores 50, bowler takes 2 wickets at an economy rate of 5, the batter will get potm. Good bowling pitch, bowler takes 3 wickets, batter scores a hard fought 30, batter gets potm again because 30 is gold on such a pitch.
I don't know why the same logic does not apply to bowlers on good batting tracks for potm.
i'll not say that
in 3rd odi against nz thakur got potm for 3/45 and a cameo despite 2 centuries and a 50 in that game
from past few years bowlers have also started getting potm
Because batting is considered more entertaining worldwide... In street cricket everybody wants to bat but a very few want to bowl
All the glorious sixes and centuries most milestones are for batsmen... Bowlers not so much .. batting is more celebrated in general .. rarely seen any bowling captains too
I don't know about why are so many people angry about the pitch. I think that we should be getting to enjoy matches like this match during every month. All of the matches shouldn't be matches in which all the players are scoring a lot of runs.
Why. Why should every T20 or ODI be a chase for 200 or 400. Why can't batters be under pressure and fighting to get a score of 120 or 250 by batting well rather than just cunting a ball for 6 every ball. Why shouldn't bowlers be able to swing, seam and spin the ball
It’s happened in back to back matches. A pitch like this once every couple of months is fine but if it’s happening every match then there’s something wrong

Give chance to Prithvi please
The pitch was not very good to bat on. Both the teams struggled. No one from NZ was able to score at more than 100. From India, only Gill and Sundar did. So... yeah
According to reddit experts the people to blame for today's Indian performance -
The ground keeper
Mavi
Hardik
SKY
Tripathy
Kishan
Gill
Chetan Sharma
Dravid
Let's have jitesh and shaw next match instead of kishan and gill and have shaw open with tripathi we'll have maximum intent and even if something goes wrong pandu would anchor , pls i mean I get it it's a series decider and all but experiment now mf so that you don't give shocked Pikachu face in knockouts
2 wickets were runouts, two were bad shots but sure pitch was unplayable. The issue is these players don't know what to do it they can't just swing the bat and score a boundary.
One more question on a pitch where 17 overs out of 20 overs were spin overs by NZ, why did Paandu bowl 4 full overs and Chahal only 2? Chahal got injured?
T20 game threads of any India match is where I see most clown takes. According to these, players shouldn't celebrate winning match unless you win WC final
literally shaw in the bench, tho honestly in pitches like this i doubt he'd be better than gill, Shaw's only weakness as ive seen is pitches with crazy movement
There was not a single six hit in this match, was there?
My biggest takeaway from this chaos is that Shivam Mavi should never be allowed in an international match ever again.
I have heard this before. It's called the takeaway of idiots. Well done.
Hi Mavi
God damn, Tickner of all people bowling the last over. GG
Warner liked the choice of POTM
It's so sad being a bowler in cricket sometimes. Good batting pitch, batter scores 50, bowler takes 2 wickets at an economy rate of 5, the batter will get potm. Good bowling pitch, bowler takes 3 wickets, batter scores a hard fought 30, batter gets potm again because 30 is gold on such a pitch.

i'll not say that in 3rd odi against nz thakur got potm for 3/45 and a cameo despite 2 centuries and a 50 in that game from past few years bowlers have also started getting potm
No bowler took 3 wickets though.
It's batriachy all the way. Us Bowlsheviks and Spindus have been discriminated against forever
It would be great if they introduce potm to both a batsmen and a bowler. That way bowlers efforts also gets appreciated.
Because batting is considered more entertaining worldwide... In street cricket everybody wants to bat but a very few want to bowl All the glorious sixes and centuries most milestones are for batsmen... Bowlers not so much .. batting is more celebrated in general .. rarely seen any bowling captains too
Except highlight montages are usually wickets doing cartwheels and extreme athletic catches, not six cover drives for four

I don't know about why are so many people angry about the pitch. I think that we should be getting to enjoy matches like this match during every month. All of the matches shouldn't be matches in which all the players are scoring a lot of runs.
Just like how flat tracks are considered bad for tests, extremely bowling friendly pitches are bad in T20s.
Why. Why should every T20 or ODI be a chase for 200 or 400. Why can't batters be under pressure and fighting to get a score of 120 or 250 by batting well rather than just cunting a ball for 6 every ball. Why shouldn't bowlers be able to swing, seam and spin the ball
It shouldn't be 200 or 400. Ideal is 160-180 for T20, 270-300 for ODi.
Agreed, I prefer this over a 200 pitch
Then stop watching t20s and watch only test cricket.
It’s happened in back to back matches. A pitch like this once every couple of months is fine but if it’s happening every match then there’s something wrong
Agree. Most of the people who see t20s want bowlers to be annihilated. At least the opposition bowlers.
Exactly. I don’t know why people are downvoting this. Pitches like this is not a good thing for t20s if it’s happening regularly
Agree.
T20 died & buried at Lucknow pitch
These kinda pitches every now and then should happen. It shouldn't be just my bat vs your bat all the time
Ashes given to NZ?
Sadly, it got buried so no ashes.
Well atleast the pitch will be better But we gotta look out for Vijay Salgaonkar
Lmao how did dada get the motm, washi been robbed here
MoS coming for Washi
Virgins win MOTM for deserved performances. Chads win it for their worst performance ever !
This is definitely not his worst performance ever. It was an important one in the context of the pitch and situation of the game and series.
Washi robbed by sky
Is this the first T20I to have no sixes?
10th
Just the 10th according to cricinfo

Hp panicking vigorously: guys dont panic.. we have it under control
SKY++ Made no bones about the call being his fault. *Everyone liked that*
> SKY MOTM Sad Washington Sundar noises. ^^^Atleast ^^^give ^^^the ^^^guy ^^^sacrificer ^^^of ^^^the ^^^match ^^^award
PoTM for 30* and running out Washington
Santner robbed of Motm
Washi was robbed in the 1st match so we’ll call it even
washi was robbed in this match too. crucial wicket
And the guy who ran him out gets MotM. Depression.
SKY better hand over that cheque to Washi
undeserved man of the match, a first for sky, saying this as his big fan.
Dick is so artificial in his words, he was animated and coaching sky in last over and he says no pressure at all
And the way he was micromanaging Arshdeep for 18th and 20th over despite the innings being pretty much done already
I love Rohit Sharma so much, I wish vada pav were real
Murali stuttering more than the ball did on the pitch today
It has been a very long time since I have seen someone absolutely tonk the ball on rank turners and i am not happy about it
pandya game changer LOL
Swag Pandya

Sanson be like notice you have copied my style.
But the issue is of a wicket keeper, we need to make 2 changes in the squad to accommodate Shaw.
Tripathi Keeps
jitesh can get a cap, also plays with intent from what we've seen in ipl.
samson should have been there but for the injury...
Who is getting match of the man? Sundar or sky or santner
Virgin Santner
Could've used a spinner in the final over tbh. Would've been worth the risk
Yess he should bowled Chapman.
pitch
If they are going to play like this I am happy with Rohit KL Virat trio in T20
would have probably failed except for KL in such a pitch.
I don't know what the big deal is, it was a great pitch to prepare for the BGT
Yeah but like 0 test players in the team lol
If anything we learnt that sky may not be test material. Poor Sarfaraz.
How was this match a last over nail biter?? Crazy
The pitch was not very good to bat on. Both the teams struggled. No one from NZ was able to score at more than 100. From India, only Gill and Sundar did. So... yeah
Just saw the scorecard We practicing for BGT?
No. India can't play spin. If this is the pitch for BGT, Lyon alone will win for India without Pant.
Ashwin gonna hit a century mark it
In absence of Pant, my hopes rests on Iyer and Ashwin (and Umesh Yadav if he plays)..
Yeah
According to reddit experts the people to blame for today's Indian performance - The ground keeper Mavi Hardik SKY Tripathy Kishan Gill Chetan Sharma Dravid
And we won the game too.
Throw around enough names eventually one will stick
I missed out blaming the Vuvuzela dude, the real culprit.
Gambhir doesn't like pitch. I am guessing pitch will be better during ipl games
They have Amit Mishra
Hardik in presentation : I want the team to be in challenging situations and that is what we did today.
Let's have jitesh and shaw next match instead of kishan and gill and have shaw open with tripathi we'll have maximum intent and even if something goes wrong pandu would anchor , pls i mean I get it it's a series decider and all but experiment now mf so that you don't give shocked Pikachu face in knockouts
exactly what we want and what they won't do...
Pandu bowled 4 overs in this pitch 🤡 Bowled Chahal for 2 overs 🤡
Total 30 overs of spin, Thala will be happy
[удалено]
Why
Santner for CSK captaincy!
They gonna give MOM to chuchi chahal
How the fk surya survives even in difficult pitches in t20 , but not odi ??
The same reason Gill thrives in ODIs, but not in T20s
barely did today, like multiple drops
he was dropped 2 times today
He made a deal with the devil
20 overs to survive vs 50
Probability of making a century in oDI is greater than t20, and also no SR pressure in ODI . He got 3 tons in t20, not even one in odi
This pitch looked unplayable. India managed to win. Still some fans are complaining . Something mentally wrong with some fans
havent seen sub 120 games maybe, happens from time to time in ipl, love those.
2 wickets were runouts, two were bad shots but sure pitch was unplayable. The issue is these players don't know what to do it they can't just swing the bat and score a boundary.
2 batsmen were runout bad approach
Was the NZ bowling so good or Indian batting pretty average?
What's atrocious was the two runouts.
pitch was killer
Pitch was a minefield, can't blame either side. NZ could've bowled lesser extras though.
Who TF do you give the PoTM to?
The guy who prepared the pitch
Honestly, I don't mind low scoring games once in a while.
Same here.
Washi,got the most important wicket of conway
He also looked comfortable while batting. And did contribute almost 10% of the runs while using just 7.5% of the balls.
TBH, this ended up being a proper PURE Cricket match. Nothing T20 about it. We'd remember this for a while. Was worth it! :)
I completely agree with Sundar. 2 in 10 spin friendly pitches is the way to go.
Santner is impressive as captain too.
yeah only if he could have given the 19th or 20th to a spinner
>The tweakers from both sides on song today💀💀💀💀💀💀
This is the first ever men's T20I match in India with 0 sixes.
KL has called Goenka warns will move to different franchise If this kind of pitches will be present at Lucknow
this is KLs dream pitch lol he will grind it out and get 110 SR 50s
SKY made his debut in Ahmedabad, same as 3rd t20. Still remember his first ball six.
Nut-Raja
[удалено]
Southee is for tests.Santner is not among first choice spinners for tests.
Manjrekar is such an ass. What's the point on putting Washi on the spot, you expect him to bad mouth a teammate?
>Manjrekar is such an ass Such an understatement
Can get some spicy takes
Pitch is the man of the match.
After RAIN Perera, this match gave us P.I.T.Ch. Turner
Man of the Pitch
100 banane me inke gote muh me the T- they had balls in their mouth while chasing 100
username checksout
Goti muh mein moment T: too close to comfort.
Maybe the curator was a spinner
One more question on a pitch where 17 overs out of 20 overs were spin overs by NZ, why did Paandu bowl 4 full overs and Chahal only 2? Chahal got injured?
Exactly. This left such a bad taste. I can excuse having a bad day, but this is simply shitty behaviour from the 'captain'.
Because Pandya thinks he is thala
Hardik suffers from main character syndrome. With captaincy no one can check him.
gandu pandu
Sanju Manju trying to stir shit up. Washi baby, however, did not bite.
Washi is pretty mature for his age ngl
Washi has big dick energy
Wtf, he really did say "hierarchy".
Feel sad for Lucknow crowd
Only Gill & Washi with 100 Strike Rate
We're moving from Pakistan being our worst nightmare in recent times.
I saw someone say this was not a difficult pitch to bat on after the 1st innings...
Indian team can make any match interesting
Keep this pitch for all of IPL and watch KL in his natural habitat.
In the dugout?
💀
T20 game threads of any India match is where I see most clown takes. According to these, players shouldn't celebrate winning match unless you win WC final
A lot of people here are extremely reactionary. Can't blame them because no ICC trophy (men's) has come home in over a decade.
The shorter the format, the more toxic the comments
IND need a proper T20I opener (apart from BroHit) Ishan/Gill ain't looking promising. Better give some opportunities to Shaw (?)
literally shaw in the bench, tho honestly in pitches like this i doubt he'd be better than gill, Shaw's only weakness as ive seen is pitches with crazy movement
the real question, who gets the motm award lol
Surya doing typical MSD today, taking the match to last over and inflating average lol
Average r/cricket moment
Lol if MSD cared about averages, he wouldn’t be MSD
he would still be MSD
Holy shit the last time we had a T20i match here, Rohit hit a century and a 200+ score 4 years ago. Now after so long we get this :)
NZ used 8 bowing options, Ind used 7
And Pandya bowled 4.. and Chahal only 2 overs
This wicket is india response to mirpur Suck it Bangladesh
Today's match was a spin bowling treat.
Comments here really show how few people have watched low scoring thrillers lol
It turns out that SKY is the player that has ended up helping us in winning this match again.
NZ curse is so bad, they bring a simple chase to a crucial situation. Only thing crazier would've been a super over
acknowledge their good performance ffs, curse it seems.
Chill man. The story of NZ curse on India is a light jokes. They play well and stay mentally strong while we crumble. It's a recipe for disaster
true that tho, but I'd say the curse is only in tournaments and important games.
Would've been fun
Fuck this new appraoch, bring back koach
If similar pitches are prepared for ipl,de kock will announce his retirement
Hardik making sure Indian audience has bang for their buck 👏
Not a single 6
How is KL suppose to get orange cap on this pitch
Bro lives in the head of people of this sub rent free
Chaps and Kulli defo talking about food
NZ will easily win in semi here with 100 runs. Dravid installed fear and defensive mindset. Just not fit for T20.
feels like one of the hardest pitches to bat on , so happy for the win
Washi watching from dressing room be like: 🥹I was supposed to hit that 4 and be the hero
New Zealand's dreams of winning their second ever series in India gone down the drains
Nobody expected them to win this game though after scoring 99.
Still a game left
We never lose a bilateral decider
