vvvslaxman Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 NZ starts as overwhelming favorites. But can we totally rule out WI? Going by the history you can do that. WI has played NZ thrice at this venue Wellington. Lost all 3 times All three times destroyed. This one might be no different unless WI bats first and scores something like 300.
flamy Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 WI is a fool's bet, honestly. They themselves would bet on NZ and knowing them troll themselves by then going on and winning it :cantstop: WI have nothing to lose. They can freely enjoy themselves and put on a Calypso show. That would be a highlight I'd look forward to.
vvvslaxman Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Gayle is a hit through the line guy. Any slightest deviation means he is a goner. Southee and Boult moves considerably with full balls. I would send Charles and Ramdin to open to tackle Southee and Boult. Once they are out they can cash in against other guys except vettori.
game_changerr Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Wi drew odi series 2-2 last year against nz....
Cricket_Hacker Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Wi drew odi series 2-2 last year .... Yes but NZ team composition has changed,Baz is now opening which has made a huge difference.Boult is now regularly playing odi
vvvslaxman Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Wi drew odi series 2-2 last year against nz.... NZ bowlers are in red hot form. I think conditiosn suit them very well. With bit of strategy WI can give it back as they also have quick bowlers.
BlueBee Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Is this the same ground where Boult and Starc tore apart the batting lineups?
flamy Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Is this the same ground where Boult and Starc tore apart the batting lineups? :cantstop:
-Robin- Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Is this the same ground where Boult and Starc tore apart the batting lineups? Same ground where southee destroyed england.
adi B Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 i am betting on a windies win .they drew the 5 match series in nzl last year,they should draw confidence from that
adi B Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 the plan should be to hit out southee or boult out of the attack,that'll put nzl on the backfoot straight foot
bowl_out Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Result depends on which WI team turns up on the match day.
sandeep Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 NZ batting is heavily dependent on McCullum. If he fails, and/or NZ bowlers don't take out gayle and samuels out cheaply, they lose. McCullum's batting approach is too high risk/reward IMO, and it hasn't cost them yet but its knock-out time...
Sid Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Gaylestorm needed Gaylestorm arrived and obliterated Zimboks,it wont arrive again.Anyways also it usually arrives once a tournament.Bazstorm is more likely to strike on the 19th.
Trundler27 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 If there is one QF game that I consider to be a blowout possibility, it is this one. NZ can potentially scar Windies for life.... not that it matters much to them these days.
putrevus Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I want both hosts knocked out in QFs like it happened in 1987 semis.
sandeep Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 If there is one QF game that I consider to be a blowout possibility' date=' it is this one. NZ can potentially scar Windies for life.... not that it matters much to them these days.[/quote'] People are over-rating NZ a bit too much, and under-rating Windies as well. Windies are slow starters and inspite of their weak bowling, are capable of winning this game. If BMac goes cheap, windies are going to win...
