NZ 120 0 is it English bowling rubbish or pitch got nothing for bowlers

Think they planned to win the toss and bat, but lucky NZ... Now it's going to be a tough leatherhunt for the poms

Patta so that fker root can score a lot of runs.

At least Root is better than fisherman Kohli who just wasted his 5 years in test cricket just to show the world that he is better than root and smith in test cricket.

Poms had made flat pitches because they are afraid of loosing series.

NZ lucky with the toss here for sure.  Pristine batting conditions 

[Lone Wolf]

Sanga less annoying on air with his fake accent than over excited DK though..

He is not that old to process those things. Also unlike in the past there is enough player guidance, player shielding. My worry is how will Gambhir handle him as against Sangakkara, Dravid.  Will he yell at him if he plays a poor shot?

Knowing GG he will definitely yell but I hope the BCCI has already given him instructions on how to handle Indias new wonderkid

It is always good to have fast bowler as a commentator as he offers from a bowling perspective.  Bishop. Broad, Simon Doull. If you lookat at Indian commies

 

SUnny - Batsman

Shastri - Spinner

Deepdas - Keeper

Murali kartik - spinner

DK - keeper

Abhinav - batsman

Harsha - nobody

 

India should add a fast bowler as  commie. NOt Varun though. He doesn't have that cadence required for a commentator.  He is a bit monotonus and tries to speak too fast. Venky tries to sound stylish often runs out of words.

Shukr mana ki Poms aren't batting first. There may be wear and tear as days go by, very hot in UK apparently. Even hockey players were struggling with the heat.

Kamindu has fallen off a cliff since his otherworldly start to his career.

Fastest 50s for IND-W in T20 WC (by balls faced)
27 - Harmanpreet Kaur vs SL-W, Dubai, 2024
29 - Shafali Verma vs BAN-W, Old Trafford, 2026
31 - Smriti Mandhana vs AUS-W, Providence, 2018
32 - Harmanpreet Kaur vs AUS-W, Cape Town, 2023 SF
33 - Harmanpreet Kaur vs NZ-W, Providence, 2018

 

Mandhana bats in PP and yet never scores fast.

[vvvslaxman]

They are showing Sanga playing some friendly cricket somewhere. After seeing one of his shot Nasser goes "It is very much sooryavanshi like".  Hype is real.

[vvvslaxman]

You need variety in the bowling on these flat pitches. 

[Chaos]

Good to see engerland getting some phanity of their own medicine. No rains gods or toss gods in their favor 

[vvvslaxman]

Rachin has this typical subcontineintal more specifically Indian syndrome of trying to pull a bouncer that is outside the off stump to leg side. Jaiswal, Vaibhav, Padikkal, Tilak, Abhishek.  almost all these players have this habit of committing to this low percentage shot.

[vvvslaxman]

Archer strikes.. 2 wickets in quick succession.  All 4 leftie gonenow.

[vvvslaxman]

That was a good ball from Archer.
