3rd ODI: New Zealand v India at Auckland, Jan 25, 2014

[Meth]

Guptill gone. Spectacular catch from Rahane.

Plenty of batting to come with McCullum and Ronchi, and little over 10 overs to go

 

[Iafeta]

I'd say no. Given he is now out

 

[Meth]

Ian Smith trying to be relevant with a Miley joke

 

[Meth]

280/8.

Well and truly into the tail.

Disappointing from NZ. Should have been 320+

 

[Meth]

Just bat out the overs guys

 

[Meth]

314

Late flourish from Southee. And the tail enders showed more sense than the McCullum boys

 

[TheParraboy]

nz will win between 34-54 runs

 

[Meth]

Looking good.

Kohli gone.

Dhoni and Raina at the crease.

79/4

Great game this.

 

[Timbo]

Choke and a half from the Kiwis.

 

[Meth]

Ripped off by the dud Australia umpire. The bloke who hit the runs in the last over smashed it to the keeper.

 

[Meth]

It's not often Bowden is the better umpire on the park.

 

[edabomb]

Rod Tucker has had a couple of clangers in this series. Surely the better umpires should be assigned to India games - shocking call from him there tonight.

If I were you I'd be pretty pissed at your bowlers.

That garbage they dished up in the last 3 overs was why you didn't win. They should never have even got that close. Why the kiwis kept bowling that short shit and allowing India to just stand back and crack boundaries was just mind boggling.

Seems you blokes have never hard of yorkers. I was so annoyed watching the end of that game just watching your bowlers throw the game away.

Seemed to me like they were bowling without any plans despite have a conference between balls. If that was the plan then your skipper should be shot.

 

[Iafeta]

Have you seen the size of the straight boundaries? If you keep bowling full you will repeatedly end up 10 rows back. Nonetheless, Rod Tucker's incompetence shone through again

Rod Tucker the James Hopes of 80's Aussie cricket.

half volleys will end up 10 rows back but not yorkers

 

[Iafeta]

They still go. Two inches off and it will go. Get it on leg stump and its nearly impossible to defend long leg. Maybe next time Tucker will be allowed to take his seeing eye dog to the middle? Ranks are bad when this guy holds an ICC spot

 

[Twizzle]

Not if they are bowled properly but therein lies the problem.

If you are going to err with a yorker its better to err on the side of full, low full tosses are harder to score off than a half volleys

At that level they should be capable of bowling yorkers.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Was a very very good game, great stuff to watch, good knocks by Guptill, Ashwin and Jadeja.

Question: why was Billy umpiring a NZ game? Or is that rule only for test matches? If it is onky a test match rule its understandable given the depth in umpiring ATM.
