Deccan chargers... Hyderabad. (Laxman ...hmmm.. no Gilchrist)

 

He is playing for H'bad a team who always short in runs and they are playing like T20 Test matches.

Wasting money from this team

 

He was the top scorer of IPL for sometime, in fact he was the top scorer of Deccan Chargers

So, you won't watch IPL i guess LOL j/k

 

Mahendra Singh Dhoni was confident his young outfit would learn from the mistakes that cost them the first Twenty20 international in Wellington. However, they didn't learn quickly enough, and the upshot was a 2-0 defeat for the world champions. Now they are faced with the challenge of adapting to the 50-over format in conditions their batsmen haven't fully come to grips with yet and to counter a tenacious opponent expert in exploiting home advantage. From India's point of view it's vital they hit the ground running at McLean Park.

India's opening combination of Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag has played a pivotal role in their one-day success in 2008 but Gambhir has struggled in New Zealand. He was over-aggressive in the first Twenty20 international and failed to find his rhythm despite spending time at the crease in the second. The openers' failure to provide substantial starts has deprived the middle-order of the momentum they have become accustomed to. However, that partnership will be split in Napier when Sachin Tendulkar returns to open with Sehwag, Gambir dropping down the order. Tendulkar's return, though, means India will have one opener who is playing his first game of the tour, and a No. 3 yet to find form.

New Zealand are quietly confident after their upset win in the Twenty20s. Their fast bowlers provided early breakthroughs and the pressure was increased by Daniel Vettori, who was able to restrict a strong middle-order. They have also been bolstered by the recovery of the injured Kyle Mills, who will take the new ball and also provide depth to the batting line-up. However, their coach Andy Moles still called India the favourites whom New Zealand would "respect but not be scared" of. They have no reason to be scared, after running Australia extremely close in the drawn Chappell-Hadlee Series earlier in the month

 

why you just copy articles from cricinfo and paste them here??

 

There is bad news for the first ODI to be played tomorrow at Napier. Unfortunately one of the strike bowler for India, Ishant Sharma is ruled out of the playing eleven due to shoulder injury

I hope this does not weaken our bowling attack considerably...

Good time table for cricket between India and New Zealand here.
I assume that after beating Sri Lanka, India beat New Zealand in ODI and Test series also and get top position in Cricket Ranking.

 

First ODI update:

There is good news and there is bad news....

Good news is that rain has stopped and bad news is, play yet to get underway and match might be reduced to 38 overs a side...
