7 down now, can the tail get to 400? 

 

hardly a tail,they bat better than our top order on days.

[vvvslaxman]

More than a decent come back by NZ.

 

307/4 at 40th over

 

now

 

368 all out in 48 overs

 

Last 6 couldn't bat 10 overs imploded for 61 runs.  Pulled an India

[vvvslaxman]

Tail wagged for so many teams in recently. But the deepest batting line up failed today. Boult has massively improved his death bowling by playing leagues all over the world

[sage]

Lol mighty English tail folded for 10 runs.

There was plenty of time left for Stokes to get his 200 and many more. He was hitting sixes effortlessly but that's the way he plays.

CSK somehow get biggest match winners in world cricket - MSD, Jadeja, Stokes, Conway

Yea.. Their batting culture revolves around "keep hitting". They are circumspect only on surfaces that are not conducive to stroke player. On flat roads they don't put a pause. Sometimes it may not come off. Most of the time it comes off due to batting depth.

Topley vs Kohli i am already  feeling skeptical. This guy bowl that tempting wide length very well. Generates bounce too from a good length. Also he brings the ball back in. Ball is swigning like banana even for left hander like Conway.

[vvvslaxman]

Conway is a complete player. Ball is hooping around. He is judging it perfectly and leaving. When he wants to accelerate he goes up and over hitting any length.

[vvvslaxman]

NZ will get walloped. Ball is still hooping around

He's reliable but not explosive. This total is too much for him.

Kohli vs left armer, whether spin or swing is a unfavourable matchup.

Topley, Jansen, Shaheen, Boult.  If India loses a wicket in the first 3 or 4 overs Kohli should be pushed down especially if the bowler is left handed

Yea.. too much to manage. But he can provide some fast starts.

Woakes is what we wanted Bhuvi to be. Or Thakur to be.

[vvvslaxman]

Ball is doing . Woakes is also exploiting it by bowling back of the length and moving away from left hander

yes anyway he hardly does well when we lose wicket early.

 

His best spot is 4 nowadays but he cant play SLA too.

Doull says Bumrah had his back operation done in NZ on the advice of Shane Bond.

Bond is with no? So it is logical.

[vvvslaxman]

Woakes is unplayable hitting that in between length. Movement is too much for NZ
