Kiwis v India - 2nd ODI

New Zealand (Playing XI): Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Kane Williamson(c), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham(w), Henry Nicholls, Colin de Grandhomme, Doug Bracewell, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli(c), Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni(w), Kedar Jadhav, Vijay Shankar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Sham

Colin de Grandhomme, Doug Bracewell, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

Not the most convincing bowling line up

Kane Williamson: We were looking to bowl. There is some grass on the wicket. We have been playing good cricket. One spinner, Sodhi comes in for Santner while Grandhomme replaces Southee.

Virat Kohli: We are going to bat first. Looks like a good track to bat. It's about giving ourselves a different challenge. We need to execute our plans. We played good cricket in the last few games, we are looking for a few areas to improve. We are unchanged.

Am I right that India bowled first in each ODI in aussie + the first ODI here in NZ?

yeh think so

I reckon India price is generous considering game 1

NZ bowling weaker without Southee as well.

I'll trade this until 1/2 way, ordinarily I would say India are short but then Rohit has got incredible gears when he gets himself in.

looks like game over after 9 overs

Kiwis bowling all over the opera

India will probably get 400 here, Kiwis bowling is ordinary

I might try and trade runs as the train has left the station on india price.

Sharma fancies these pies

India have a pretty long tail......it's just getting to it that's the problem!

Lankan played well in parts here a few weeks ago

looks incredibly easy

Rohit is more aesthetically pleasing than Kohli

Should have caught that

NZ are a poor team , Lankans made them look good

two drops

this is embarrassing

sod's law, every time I'm against NZ (in the past) they have caught loads of screamers

Now the runs have dried up, India getting too cute.

those short balls just sit up to be belted

becoming a massacre!

still think they will get 400

220 off last 20 on the cards.

Even cricbuzz is calling it as it is, "another rubbish ball from de Grandhomme"

this team will get nowhere in the WC

Munro bowling?

he can't be any worse than the others!

i backed 300 but also backed the Kiwis at 3s

this could be sub 1.1 soon

they should be going really hard now

these bowlers are on their knees. Eng would be trying to get 10+ an over from here

got over 360 @4.9 earlier

Kholi will come in next, not sure he's the man in this situation. I'd send in somebody to hit

yeh I was going to go really high but got stung in the first game

Exact same thing happened to me, backed NZ over 300 (from memory) in the first odi

Sharma is the key as he can be a destroyer + he can bat 50 overs no problem

Rohit should have been out first ball too, making them pay big time

Knock 50 runs off the total now that Rohit is gone.

yeh that's a huge wicket

I want Mr Donut in

Should have laid Lankan runs again ffs

Colin playing these two in a treat

Kholi has pressed the button

He's a complete machine

they better make 300 ffs

can see NZ winning this now...

Should have gone to the game

do you live close by? looks a cracking afternoon

I'm in Auckland, family have gone to Tauranga to watch it (its a long weekend here) I stayed home to finish a course for work

Utter wank*rs...brought the game back under control and then lost the game in the 50th with 21 off it.

GSM for me that!

324 out of sight!

I will place orders so that f we see a flip I'll get a green but when I wake upI expect that I will be seeing red.   Cant watch chase, need sleep.

last 2/3 overs keeps killing me, not seen any decent death bowling

Sodhi was the best bowler and they have two better than him.
I will have a little dabble but hope to trade out before spin comes on

Munro and Guppy have been terrible in recent times so I won't be holding my breath!

Couldn't resist looking in as couldn't nod off 6-6-4-2-OUT

20 off the over but the prize wicket too.

going to be one of those chases where they keep losing wickets at regular intervals

63 is good, just lost one wicket too many

here we go .....spin

Vijay Shankar can offset one of them but probably not both.

FFS England are 24 they were 18 a few hours ago.

Its the draw! Windies are stable

Shankar might let them back in with his non threatening balls

Really need to take adv of Tommy Shankar. He needs to go for 80/90

if they nudge 5/6 off the spinners then it's game on

Must be a road Kane & Roscoe had good starts.

> 50-120's layers must be sweating

If any team could lose from this position it would be the WI. They can go really flat for hours in the field

I defo think NZ are back in this big time but I need to have another stab at some sleep. 

only had a few hours myself, that SA game went on forever

horrible dismissal

and a stumping...

strange normally Taylor runs himself or someone out first

come on put the quicks on and finish this...

ROUTED AGAIN I see. Illusions have been SHATTERED about this NZ outfit
