T20 WC - India v New Zealand

A Dhoni special could do this but I think he has been in decline for about 2 years now.

And whoever advised them. What were they thinking.

Shastri, it's not that bad a deck

Not as bas as to be 49/7. The Sharma stumping was avoidable.

bad*

Pick a tournament winner from the field? I couldn't possibly, it's wide open.

small lay of nz for a bit of interest.. couple of hits will panic the market

53-7

ON THERE OWN TURF

this is a slow death for my kohli bet

I reckon this pitch will have been Made to Order!

I expected this pitch, but not the Indian batting

They look like they are not trying to get them and instead are making sure they aren't skittled out which would hurt their net run rate.

im sure at half time india were quite happy even knowing it was a cabbage patch only needing just over run a ball, im finding it quite amusing though.

3 boundaries!

Wish I'd watched all of this.

Some of you good fellows must have layed India at ludicrous prices.

I laid them as a bit of cover at 1.1
However, I have a massive bet on India to win the tournament at 3.25 so I've still had a net loss.

laid a bit at half time hoping for an early wicket or two..., got it and got rid far to quickly

india just batting the overs out now for the run rate

I'm on Bangles who keep drifting

GASHWIN

The best bit is when they keep panning to perplexed members of the crowd

Dhoni's interview will be fun.

2/1 TO WIN THE TOURNAMENT

ALRIGHT THEN

MIGHT ASWELL GET PHIL TUFNELL AND ASHLEY GILES OUT OF RETIREMENT

if theres more pitches like this I dont know if I can even watch

Wait until the Aus/NZ game is rained off. That will fcuk the market right up!!

totally unentertaining

England will Flounder on a Bunsen! it'll be as bad as this India effort here.

Santner turning it square

what a catch!

Catching.

Santner must think it's christmas.

Cat and pigeons springs to mind!

4/11. mind boggling stuff

NZ spinners 11 overs, 9/44

43/7 All out for 70 odd. Wow. Absymal.

70 odd

9 Indian wickets to spin.

Long overdue to bury the myth they play spin well.

Looking forward to the rest of the tournament. Hope the odds are as wrong as this every match.

good call by Hawk Eye. this guy is a genuine good tipper.

that wasn't spin, it was slow bowling

how can u love these pitches juc, ur a sick minded bastard!

"NZ 132-9 (20), Ind 135-5 (17.4).

India win by 5 wickets."

Slow wickets and not meant for T20!

I hate flat track bullies

They need to have bucket pockets for T20 cricket.

I thought India would win this comp easily.

I love these pitches.

Far more interesting to see batsmen struggle. Plus it's easier to make money..

200 plays 200 is boring.

Good to see bowlers have their day.

I can't believe that match India were 1.5 when they were 26/4. How wrong could the odds be.

I've had to take a massive haircut on the "winner".
Covered some with that lay of India at 1.1 on the match odds.
Could have been worse

complete opposite for me, I find 200 more entertaining and 100% easier to win money on

agree, I think it's easier to make money too

I dont understand how u think its easier

when its a runway its simple, back overs first innings then back the chasing team

Tamim must be a cert for top scorer now. India are not even going to get to the last 4

I'm sticking to Stuart Bingham snooker matches if I don't know what sort of wicket there's going to be.

I don't mind that either.
However, you can turn over some really low odds on the inns runs.
I had a mega payday when Pak were all out for 80 odd the other day against India

Calm down juce India still gonna win this competition.

I've taken the loss.

My only problem is I have backed NZ to be eliminated in the first round! Glad I am on vacations. Else would have lost MASSIVELY today!

The NZ/Aus game will probably be washed out, so be careful

NZ have nice net r/r too now

Beating the top team, with such a margin, is definitely a ticket to the semifinals in my opinion. But its NZ and they have to potential to easily get beaten at the hands of the other 3 teams. They weren't expected to win today, especially after postng 126 so they had no pressure at all. Lets see how they progress from here on.

If somebody digs the pitch up at Eden Gardens then India are in big trouble!!

India still favourites at 4.3. They will be lucky to get out of the group never mind win the thing after that drubbing.

haha. The games gonna happen dont worry.

Any idea how this game has helped South Africa? How are they favorites now considering they are more likely to face India in the semifinals now than before?

If it wasn't for the Premium Charge I could make a million from the odds on betfair these days. They are like Stan James odds, very beatable.

---> The top runscorer market was at 185%. Tamim Iqbal was 1.9 when he should have been no bigger than 1.67.

Who'd have thunk it. NZ three spinners , drop Southee and Boult & bowl India out for 79.
I wouldn't mind going back 3 hours in a time machine.

Never much liquidity on the side markets though. Only a few hundred here and there.

wow!

Was at the gym following on cricinfo. Saw NZ total and thought I was home and hosed. Did not look at the odds and never even considered a Hail Mary on NZ! Dope!

I think like most of you I never saw that coming! I wasn't as gung ho as some on here to be fair to me as regards them winning the Tournament but I did not think NZ would ever spin them out ffs!

Typical India one has to say but maybe an opportunity for Tournament winner.

India have to get through first and that is not a given now.

Pak next in a cauldron at Eden Gardens!! That's if the pitch is still there

Could come down to run rate (if that is the rule) and that game certainly doesn't help their cause.

-2 already

Nagpur was given a warning by the ICC so India just wanted to prove this was the 'natural behavior' of the pitch :D

Many would have thought that was India's easiest game. Saying that I've topped up on them!

True Charlie. Australia, Pakistan and an in form Bangladesh side who beat them recently in a one day series. None of those teams are going to be any easier to beat.

If Bangla beat Pak tomorrow....this is gonna be one messed up Group!

It's messed up already! Even more messed up if Bangas win.

Going to have to win 5 tough games in a row now. 4.4 looks short for that to happen.

I'm not counting semi's and final Juce.

If they get to semi's odds will be  a lot less regardless of whom they play.

I'm going to bed with my tail between my legs
