5th ODI. NZ v India. Wellington. 31 Jan 2014

[Meth]

NZ batting first.

Dead rubber.

 

[Meth]

Not sure if the Indian fans have turned out in the same sort of force today

 

[Meth]

Guptill 1 off 17. I know he tends to pull it back quite well, but damn he's become a slow starter.

 

[Red Bear]

Matt Henry debuting for NZ, has an outstanding domestic record at this early point. Hope he goes well

 

[Meth]

Ryder gone.

So, all in all, a disappointing return for Ryder to international cricket. Aside from his century in Queenstown, all fairly ho hum

Wouldn't blame him on this pitch- fairly lively out there. Still one of your classiest bats.

Who cares if it's a dead rubber

Love seeing Team India get beaten!

The inconsistency of Guptill's starts is a concern coming into WC year. It does balance out a bit in a series - but in a one off game scoring 6 or 7 off 30 and getting out becomes a major factor.

 

[lockyno1]

If he gets out yes, if not...it is probably critical to have an anchor on a pitch like this!

I find Ian smiths condescending comments about Kohlis medium pacers quite funny...

Considering that was pretty much our bread and butter not that long ago...

 

[shiznit]

Goodness me Williamson is a good little batsman.

5 straight 50's.

Hopefully he goes on to get a 100.

 

[vvvrulz]

Watching this from India!

Williamson now with a 50 in every match of the series, NZ are really onto something in terms of their game plan of going into the last 15 overs only 1-2 down regardless of run rate.

Not to mention that military medium dibbly-dobblies were all guys like Larsen brought to the table, and Kohli bats like Kohli.

 

[shiznit]

Ahh... The power play... I hope Taylor doesn't start slogging

 

[shiznit]

Lol... That poor Indian bloke in the orange shirt...

He ain't getting any from his mrs tonight...

 

[Red Bear]

second ton for Taylor in a few days, not bad

 

[vvvrulz]

New Zealand post 303/5, another very solid batting effort.

 

[Timbo]

This Henry looks pretty likely. Seems a decent find.

Well on the way to 4-0 here.

 

[Iafeta]

Good stuff Henry old son. Ta ta the goose Rayadu

 

[Mr Angry]

Stop dropping them, they are still a chance.

Carn kiwis.
