Is anyone following the T20I series between India and New Zealand?
India won the first two games comfortably and today it was a tie.
Are New Zealand going to be the team forever associated with Super-Overs? They don't seem able to avoid them!
-
And they've lost again!
They posted 17 from their over, Bumra bowled it with Williamson making 11* off 4 and Guptill 5* off 2.
Tim Southee bowled the over for New Zealand, with Rohit and Rahul batting.
Things looked to be going well with 10 being required off the final 2 balls, but Rohit broke hearts hitting both for 6!
-
With Williamson's inning NZ deserved to win but super over haunted them again. Shami bowled good 20th over though.
-
Clean hits on the last 2 balls by Rohit to win the game.
-
With Williamson's knock in match, first time I saw some one scoring 100 runs in a match without registering a ton
-
Williamson's knock was one of the best T20 innings I have ever seen.
Not just the fact that nobody else from NZ could time even a single ball, but some of the shots he played were so, so pleasing to the eye even his Kane's own standards. The six he hit of Thakur over long off, for instance. Just goes to show that the very, very best can adapt to all the formats - ie: Kohli, Smith, Williamson.
Not seen Bumrah being hit around like that outside of the IPL before.
Aside from that...despite a helpful pitch, Jadeja once again proving his worth. Dropped a dolly for his standards, but only going for 23 in 4 overs that too after Kane hit 2 of his last 3 balls for sixes. CdG looking like a no.11 with the bat in these 3 matches.

Must be mental now, struggling to cross that line

Fully agree
Great innings from kane W. Not sure why Ross taylor is so low in the order . Other than williamson, he was the only NZ batsman who was able to time the ball.
And excellent bowling from Jadeja...i think how it will be to face his bowling in real life. Anytime someone tries to play across against his bowling , gets bowled or misses it completely.

My friends and I joke about which professional players we'd want in our club team other than the usual stars and I like suggesting Jadeja. Club cricketers (me!) don't play spin well, let alone left-arm orthodox at 95-100 kph! And you wouldn't even run to him if he was stationed on the boundary let alone the circle. Would obviously be hit and miss with the bat (despite having 3 FC triple-centuries!) but I'd love to face him in the nets! Wouldn't get a single wicket caught at slip / around the bat with our fielding though!
Sadly his batting never quite became what I and many Indians thought it would be but many int'l teams would want someone like him in their white ball sides.

Surely not choking again? Can’t be another super over can it
-
This is getting beyond a joke now!
-
How have they messed this one up, 11 of 12 needed
Into another super over we go
-
Super over lost again. Picking the chokers tag from SA
Poor over from Southee in both games
-
You've got to feel for New Zealand
These Super Over losses will start to have some kind of psychological impact soon you'd imagine

I think they are still feel the psychological impact of loss (techically) in world cup final. That's was huge, and last two matches shows how much they are scared of that nightmare still.

Southee is one of the most horrendous death bowlers who regularly gets the chance to do it, irrespective of what has recently happened. This is primarily why he isn't picked up for more franchise cricket even though he can catch anything and is nearly in the Top 10 of Most Sixes in Test Matches.
His last 6 super overs have gone for 6, 13, 19, 17, 20, 16 (most recent last)
-
Sky are showing highlights of the 2012 world T20
In the super 8 stage New Zealand lost a super over to Sri Lanka. Have they ever won one?
-
They also lost one to the West Indies in the same tournament!
-
The cricket equivalent of England in a major tournament penalty shoot out
-
NZ choked again - 116-3 needing 7s and now 134-8
-
Genuinely pathetic
-
India’s fake all rounder Dube got hammered for 34 in an over. I guess that’s a win for New Zealand.
India seems to have a lot of basis covered in most formats. Looks like Shaw will debut in the ODIs. Gill smashed 200 in the A team ‘test match’. Heck Pant doesn’t even get a go in a dead rubber
-
Rohit Sharma has a calf injury...yeah sure he does. He's out of the tour. Considering he averages 26 in tests outside India, I doubt they'll miss him. Rather strangely Sourav Ganguly announced Gill will debut rather than Shaw returning. Ganguly and KKR...
