India is better team in any ground.

Right now they are but I would like to see the Indian team to continue this form at least for 5-6 month so that we can bring the world cup home. Cricket is very funny game

None of the test series I am enjoying. Srilanka vs Australia - Easy win for Ausie. West Indies vs England- Easy win for WI. England lost by 381 runs, a big difference. They was not able to bat long time only with the man Rory Burns. I feel sorry for him. He deserve a century.

Why bro? Why? Why are you not enjoying this? No 8 ranking team beating the shit out of No 2 ranking team in all department. they were the top team in this test team. I enjoyed the last 2 days thoroughly. it's good for test cricket.

Indian team would be really happy to see inspite Kohli absence team is able to manage win comfortable and this would give them confidence that they are not depended on one person and they are prerparing for the World Cup too with this matches .

Bad luck to Srilanka. They have lost by one inning and 40 runs. I did not expect such bad poor performance from Srilanka. This is the same what have done Australia against India. Hope they will over come theie problem and we will see a good match.

Srilanka along with few other teams are not good for the tests match. Mainly the teams are focusing on T20 and one days which requires a lot of rush batting. When it comes to tests matches, this is really time to test the batting ability and only the ones who have good technical skills can survive the tests match.

What a beautiful bowling by pakistani bowlers. they bawled out south african team on 164 runs. it looks like Sarfaraz ahmed's ban is somekind of blessing in disguise.  Shoaib Malik did good as a acting captain. if Pakistan wins this series under his captaincy then may be PCB can think of him leading the pak team in the world cup.

It is funny. I have seen the golden age of West Indies, I have seen the English team to struggle to get the highest trophy, the domination of Australian team. Sri Lanka to win world cup 1996. I have seen Pakistan to win the 1992 where no one expected it.

Cricket is a funny game.

Edit:
In Johannesburg Pakistan bowled out SA only for 164 runs LOL The most unpredictable team in the history. They should win however I would not wonder if they lost, I mean Pakistan hehe

[AB de Royse777]

A fantastic effort by Pakistan. they bowled really well in which help PAK confined SA to only 164 in their innings. I'm disappointed however, the host didn't have mange enough runs on the board. But I'd like to expresses gratitude toward Shoaib Malik, who appeared as accidental captain. Yes, I agree with you, This team is better off without Sarfaraz!

Well easy win for Pakistan. Good thing that nothing went wrong hehe
All top three batsman for Pakistan performed well. The pitch was not that bad but not sure how SA could not manage to get some runs.

Anyway, Congrats to Pakistan.

Looking forward to the 5th ODI. The thrill is there. The series is now 2 - 2

Well played and good come back by Pakistan. Bowlers specially Usman Khan and Afridi really bowled pretty well. I have to appreciate them. Also batsman did well job. Pakistan is really unpredictable. I thought SA will lead in ODI too but Pakistan came back with proper power.

At the stage both team have great chance to win the series but Pakistan team have more positive points to get the series win against south Africa team because of last two matches they are done great work in both batting and bowling so I hope that Pakistan going to get the series with thrilling end.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is now about to get into some serious confusion; Malik's captaincy has proved to be way better than Sarfaraz's captaincy seen in the last few matches. There are only a few months left in the world cup, and any major modifications (if made) in the team will literally ruin it all. Top commentators have already started praising Malik's captaincy, and even the Pakistani media is now criticizing Sarfaraz's captaincy and performance. This is not looking good for Pakistan!

It looks like Shoaib Malik is a better captain than Sarfaraz and he has more tactical experience than Sarfaraz and if he could lead the team for the up coming world cup i think they could perform better as a team as they are playing really well with a fairly new players outside the continent. This week was full of surprises, first from West Indies and now Pakistan playing well even though they are unpredictable.
Today we have NZ and India and India is dominating NZ in their home turf and it looks like Hardik Pandya will be back in the team and it is the best time to experiment with players to find the best combination leading to the world cup.

Agreed. Shoaib Malik is more experienced too. I think PCB should consider Malik as captain in the upcoming world cup.
New Zealand top order didn't play good but seems middle order has played nicely today. I think they are going to build a good score. Taylor and Latham is having 102 runs partnership now. I expect a 300+ score here since both of them are set.

I don't really mind Shoaib leading the team, after all, he's the most senior player in the team and more importantly very calm person during the pressure. having said that I still believe that Sarfaraz should lead the team in the World. Sarfaraz must talk with former players such as Wasim, Ramiz, Javed etc and ask for guidance.

It is funny. I have seen the golden age of West Indies, I have seen the English team to struggle to get the highest trophy, the domination of Australian team. Sri Lanka to win world cup 1996. I have seen Pakistan to win the 1992 where no one expected it.

Indeed, that's why I am very careful about Indian team's form for World cup. one bad patch can create tons of problems for our team. every team looks good and balanced when they are winning the match. 

I started following cricket since early 2000 under Dada's captaincy, but I do have blur memory of India losing against Srilanka in World Cup Semis.

3rd ODI have started between NZ and India and NZ won the toss and batting first. They are 231 for 7 in 47.2 overs. Tylor missed the century by 7 runs and was playing well. NZ would not like to get white wash with the loss of this match.

[Pffrt]

New Zealand had started a good but at the end they only scored 243, it's sad. India needs 139 runs from 28 overs with 9 wickets remaining. It will easy for India to win. Shikhar Dhawan got out and now Virat and Sharma is on the field. I do not think they will lose more than 1 wicket.

Well said, India is playing good cricket without any pressure as the run required is low. Another thing it has lost only one wicket with two batsmen on the pitch scoring their half centuries. If New Zealand wins it'll be a record as it hasn't won against any country's in this ground other than Sri Lanka.

India is cruising to yet another victory and it looks like they will white wash the series in the form they are playing, Hardik Panday bowled really well after a long lay back and he was phenomenal in the field and the catch off Williamson was a beauty and they could restrict the New Zealand at a par score even though Taylor played a great innings, the bowling is being outstanding for a couple of years and if they could fix the middle order hurdle they have nothing to worry for the world cup, their biggest rival will be the home nation England and if they could surpass that they could life the cup.

[Pffrt]

India won by 7 wickets, a big win indeed. Each batsmen have played well. New Zealand bowled poorly amd was not able to pick some early wickets which can be a good way to fight. It's a good sign for India that each of their batsman are getting score. It proves Indian batting line up is the best.

Its bad time if you are in Sarfaraz ahmed's shoes. even mother nature is against him lol and his form and behaviour not helping his case too. no one can save him. i heard he got ban for 4-6 matches(may be old news for you)

India is beating New zealand in their home ground. they are looking very ordinary team against India even in Flat pitches.

India officially own the ODI series 3 - 0 currently 2 matches yet to play.
In New Zealand, new Zealand is not playing well cricket or I would say India is playing excellent cricket. There used to be time when they would struggle to score in Kiwi's wicket.

By the way, Congrats India

Cheers :-)

The quality of Indian players increased a lot in the ages and more precisely after the introduction of IPL tournaments since they got lot of experience from overseas players as well.Now India getting stronger and stronger but they are nit best in pace pitches but managed to win these days.

They used to be scared in bouncy pitches but now this is a different Indian team. It was psychological fight. I used to see Sourav Ganguly to cover himself all over before playing Shoaib Akhtar. India always had this bad record of not doing well in bouncy pitches specially in New Zealand and South Africa.

But after Dhoni things has changed a lot. This new India is not afraid anymore. The bowling department also improved a lot.
