New Zealand v India, 5th ODI, Auckland, Mar 14

Wazzing it down. Delayed start.

WTF is going on there?


1 2lb 1wd . 4 2 | 1 . 6 1lb W 1 | 1wd . 1wd 1wd . . . . 4lb | . 1wd 1 .

Now Viru fires up:

7.6 O'Brien to Sehwag, 1 run
7.5 O'Brien to Sehwag, FOUR
7.4 O'Brien to Sehwag, SIX, Six over deep backward point. Mad Gaiety indeed. Overpitched and well outside off and Sehwag slices it as only he can and the ball flies to the fielder who jumps, arches back but can only topple it over the boundary.
7.3 O'Brien to Sehwag, FOUR, Shot! screams couple of banners in the arena as Sehwag swivels off the front foot to play a cracking pull shot way in front of square leg.
7.2 O'Brien to Raina, 1 run, again on the pads, nurdled to fine leg.
7.1 O'Brien to Raina, FOUR, 139 kmph but wrong line sir. Full and on the legs and Raina picks it over square leg. No sweat. Four easy runs.

Breaking news: All internet connectivity is down in India.

Well we should have won the last game. But still...I am happy with the series win. Hope we win the test series as well.

We collapsed. A bit more stability down the order wouldn't be unwelcome. Maybe Uthappa should be given another chance at 7.

meh, fail to win the last match again. when are we ever going to have a series whitewash? england doesnt count, the last two matches were cancelled

the win should boost the snoozers a bit for the tests

Nice to see one of the Indian 'cricket fans' who comes here posted on the match involving their national team. Well done TO. Sorry abot the result.

Is posting on this forum the barometer of how much a fan you are...?

Yes.

You're a 3.

Nah, but it says something about certain posters that they were really happy to come here and do nowt but fling sh!t at other posters, even though their team was playing a match.

Sure, I indulge in many threads at once, but if the Aussies are playing, I try to discuss the match in progress. I think a lot of posters would do likewise.

This match showed why Gambhir might just prove to be a FTB.

And pathetic pitch reading by Dhoni. Absolutely no way India should've batted first on that pitch especially with Tendulkar out of the side.

Good to see though, Dhoni accepted his mistake.

Rohit Sharma is such a misfit in Indian ODI team. And its pretty safe to say that Yusuf should not consider himself a certainty in the middle order.

I need to get an Indian flag tatooed on my arse don't I?

Um, didn't the rest of the team fail as well?

Gambhir's mode of dismissal probably indicated that. And that was not the first time he was dismissed in that manner.

Ah the hypocrite stands up and chest thumps again. Will rap others for sh!tstirring but won't practice what he preaches is it?

So what if most Indian forummers were missing while the match was on, or is it that selective hypocritical bashing is what you do best? or the fact that some forummers have been posting very late nights of late and that may indicate they have really pressing deadlines to meet at day time. Or perhaps your supreme intelligence can't comprehend a simple fact that some forummers here don't follow basterdised T20 and crap JAMODIs anymore and are only really concerned about test cricket.....

Ah. Off on Ignore you go. You are the biggest waste of forum time and energy that I have ever encountered! With such supreme intelligence and such high calibre posting, the most amount of respect you get can only be conveyed through the IGNORE button.
