gamer_adi Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Pant just needed to keep the head down n play out another 5-7 overs at that time. 2 minutes ago, Banz said: Play can go on till 11.30 pm. 20 mins of tea. That's 3½ hours of play left. Too easy for NZ. Even if we stall and bowl only 10 overs per hour, they should chase this. Complete lack of match awareness from everyone involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harsh1387 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Did Gavaskar say India didn't have enough practice before the Final? lmao What's funny in that? They didn't had any warm up games. NZ on the other hand played 2 proper tests just before the finals and that too in England. Obviously they were better prepared for the final.Sent from my SM-E625F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadge Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 It's just funny seeing him give excuses in the end. We also have a terrible track record in England which continues to blow. 3 minutes ago, harsh1387 said: What's funny in that? They didn't had any warm up games.

And what incredible record NZ have in England? Or in Australia? Or in India? They even qualified for WTC because Aus pulled out of SA series and England lost to India. They only won at home and nowhere else.Although no excuses for such a bad batting performance and some shots were simply rubbish. If they had shown some resistance this match could have been drawn.Sent from my SM-E625F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 So last session 120 runs, it will be a fun session. Don't think 120 runs have been added in a session till now, but batting conditions are the best. Should be a good end to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer_adi Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 NZ has only played 2 away series in since 2016, 1 in SL and 1 in Aus, where they git the thrashing of a lifetime, so yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Match practice isn't a valid excuse if we can't even bat for 65-70 overs, especially when the conditions are best for batting. As the number 1 side, you should be expected to do that, regardless of how much match practice you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we bowl 12-13 overs per hour then NZ has around 38-39 overs to make 120. 2.5 RR is Do able but if w get couple of quick wickets they will play for a draw. Jz need some luck with ball now.Sent from my SM-E625F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-E625F using Tapatalk As much as I agree, I'm not sure how NZ record has anything to do with our performance here. If anything it's been a great effort by NZ if they have such record as you state. 6 minutes ago, gamer_adi said: Everybody has been saying this forever, even before the match started.

I'm not sure what did everyone expect? so did they need some test matches before NZ encounter to make it fair or something? I'm confused. I guess it's just analysis of the current situiation. I'd be cool to see India win from here by some miracle. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that we rightly deserved to be in final and NZ rode a lot of luck to get in. Anyways, so far they have bowled and batted better than India so if they win they deserve it. Though I hope someone bowls a magic spell and turn the match around for us.Sent from my SM-E625F using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
