Cricket
Kiwis look a very poor side.
Guppy and Munro are very one dimensional with Guppy looking on a terminal decline.
A lot of sameness in the middle order and no power at the back end.
The bowling is ok but 5th/6th bowler is a big problem, much like a lot of sides across the board.
Playing on the same pitch so I expect it to slow up again as each inns progresses.
Therefore the first 10/20 overs are crucial.
The only caveat is there are super short boundaries in parts of the ground so there is the chance of a set batsman going crazy at the back end. Neesham & Perera have already done it earlier in the year so can't count that out.
Forgot what it looked like
Will be very touch chase with fielders back tho
REPEAT NO F*CKING OUTAGE PLEASE

I get the feeling it isn't easy and the CDG overs were an anomoly
Seen this venue throw up strange occurrences before
Got the innings 181.5, run differential 5.5 in Indias favour.
212 and still high odds....

11 of the 20 overs went for 11+, so it has to be right up there. That is consistent. Outside one batsmen, lowest SR was 172. All things being equal, it should be well chaseable.
Dot dot to the crease ffs. Hopefully Panda stays in for a bit.

How the fcuk is that not a wide?
It was because the batsman was standing on the wide line, if it’s the one I’m thinking of.
Minuscule win overall but could have been huge!
India had a lot of power at the back end and that's the sort of bet I like at long odds

FS did ok overall but that would have been a massive win for me . Backed 205 in the first inns at 4.1 so I was well ahead when I started backing India. Minuscule win overall but could have been huge!India had a lot of power at the back end and that's the sort of bet I like at long odds
What price did you get on? I did look at the Indian batting line up and recognise an awful lot of power in it but they’re clearly not half the side without Kohli and dot, dot is a significant disadvantage chasing anything steep these days. Without him and Rohit’s innings could have been a sensational chase though. Just wish I’d traded it rather than stuck as could have seen much more green for rather less red if I had. Trying not to over trade though and it was an over £2k win so can’t complain at all.
