India Tour of New Zealand !!

Yes you will see him in action in Second ODI. Don't worry, he is still good batsmen who can change the result of match.

 

He is great batsman and he should get his touch asap.

 

Oh! I literally forgot ...it was after all a long break after the first ODI.

 

It will be good if we can see the match without rain.

 

Hopefully, Indian batsmen would capitalize on the momentum generated by the win in the last ODI and would go out all guns blazing!

If Ishant Sharma gets to come back, who will he replace? particularly since Pravin Kumar was equally good as well!

Ishant Sharma playing tomorrow ?

 

I think he should play.

 

Nopes Ishant is not playing!!

As expected, India shrugged off the Twenty20 aberration to hand New Zealand a heavy defeat in the first ODI. The hosts have to do all the running now. The pitch looks slow and is not expected to assist seam movement. Virender Sehwag has already said that if India's batting clicks, they can score 300 in every game. Even so, New Zealand couldn't have chosen a better venue to level the series. It's their favourite venue and Daniel Vettori said his players feel very comfortable playing here.

However, they have a key injury worry ahead of the game. Brendon McCullum has a thumb injury and Peter McGlashan has been called up to the squad in case McCullum doesn't recover in time. If McCullum doesn't play then Martin Guptill will open. Without McCullum, New Zealand might struggle to get someone to guide the inexperienced batting line-up.

India will again be without the injured Ishant Sharma. But it is their batting that hurt New Zealand in the first game. As they did in Sri Lanka, India have continued to shuffle the batting order. Dhoni came in at No 3 in the last game and if you believe Sehwag, New Zealand were caught unawares wondering if Dhoni had come to pinch hit or bat as a regular No. 3. The Indians are incredibly confident but occasionally, as happened during the Twenty20, they become complacent. The twin losses may actually have done India a lot of good.

 

Good start again by India.

 

Well Match delayed by rain.

Score: Ind 130/1(19 ovs) : Gambhir 13(16) Tendulkar 59(62)

 

This really becomes very frustrating!

Should not they be scheduling matches after considering the weather conditions?

What is the point in holding matches during rainy season?...Beats me!

It's still raining.Let's what will be the score.

 

Hi,
India is in top form this season and I am sure we will win the series.
Tx for the schedule.

 

Yes.Indian team is in great form.

 

2nd ODI Match canceled due to rain

 

Sehwag played very well. India might have won if it wasn't abandoned. So disappointing

 

I am very disappointed that the efforts of the players have gone down the drain!

We can at least take solace from the fact that after 2 ODI's, India is still 1-0 up in the series!

Sachin is getting is form.

 

Raina is playing very nice these days.
