New Zealand also in trouble. They scored 105/4 after 25 overs. It will be hard for them to win from this situation. I don't think they will. Shami is bowling pretty well today.

Trouble continues as as NZ have lost 2 more wickets and now they are 162/6. NZ still require 91 runs and 4 wickets in hand. Neesham is batting at 32 and last ray of hope for NZ. If he gets out quickly probably NZ might end this match on a losing note and then losing the series by 4-1.

The way India started I never expected them to put 150 runs on the board as they lost all the major players without even troubling the score. Rayudu played an important innings to lift the team and pandey put the finishing touches and an incredible win for India as they bowled New Zealand out. If they continue to play like this they will win the world cup.

India lifted the trophy by winning the series 4-1. NZ would be extremely disappointed that they have lost in their home ground.  Raydu was named Player of the match for making 90 runs and missed the well deserved century. Also Shami was named Player of the series.

Indian Middle lower order did exceptionally well today. I would like to see a couple of more matches like this before World cup, Where middle order steps up and perform in difficult situations. it would do lots of good for Middle order's confidence.

Dhoni failed as Batsman but We saw why he is a crucial member of this team. his run out of Neeshan was a crucial moment. Neeshan was looking really dangerous.

Doubt that Sir, for this they need minimum couple of good partnership. they don't bat deep enough. i highly doubt that they will make close to 400 and i am being generous here hope they prove me wrong.

We will have to wait.

Here in North Sound, England is betting in their 2nd innings and 8 for none after WI finished their first innings for 306 runs. England trail by 111 runs with 10 wickets remaining. I am not sure how long England will bat though.

I took the opportunity on 1st day and put some chips on WI to win , it's looking good .
Also took a risk and bet on draw in SL v AUS match  with some spare bucks because the odds were too good and I still feel SL can put on some good score if they manage to get 2-3 good partnership going .

England lost 2 wickets for 49 runs only. Not looking good. Still 70 runs behind with 8 wicket remaining. I hope you win here. Guess what, I am having a feel that you already won the bet hehe

We still need to wait for the Sri Lanka Vs Ozs match to see how Sri Lanka perform in the first session.

So Sri Lanka lost all wicket in their first wicket for 215 run. Good thing that I did not waste my time watching their innings you won Maady.
To absy, I don't think this match will have any chance for a draw anymore. Still two days to go and Sri Lanka needs 499 runs which is impossible.

Well that's India and I told you guys that the last match was just an accident. India is a team who can even win the WC

India recently played well in Australia and they were favorite in NewZealand series also. The conditions were almost similar in australia and newzealand so india didn't have to work hard in order to get used to the conditions.
The recent performance will help in the upcoming world cup this year.

T20 cricket prediction and discussion

Hehe didn't really know the thread existed , well since this thread covers almost everything related to cricket matches , I don't go anywhere else but well it's nice to have a separate thread for only T20 discussions though , will hop on there later when I talk about T20.

Btw looks like my spare bucks on SL goes to vain.

Even after the completion of Indian innings I found the score to be easily beaten by the New Zealand as it is their home ground. I believed New Zealand have come back to form with the last match victory, but Indian bowlers were quite brilliant to contribute good without letting the players build a strong partnership.

[whirlcoin]

Can anyone say what is the major reason for New Zealand not performed well in the series because of India playing a good series a New Zealand will not playing a good series thank you.

Momentum plays a huge role in sports and right now India have it after the series win over Australia in all forms of the game they are high on confidence and that is why we are seeing the Indian team win big matches even though New Zealand bounced back in the 4th ODI. This Indian team reminds me of the Australian team of the 90's early 2000's they don't look like getting beat and no team fears them playing away from home. India in my opinion is the team to beat in this years World Cup and good luck to the teams that have to play them on home soil this year once the Indian summer starts.

Sri Lanka lost eventually. Australia won by 366 runs. The Sri Lankan could not even stand a chance in the 2nd innings. They lost all their wicket only to score 149. This is a bad tour for them.

About the T20 section, I thought to have a separate section for this format would be nice especially when the IPL will start.

SL will be highly demotivated the way they are playing the matches and losing it. Losing the match by 366 runs is a big margin and they where never close to match the OZ team. With this performance they will need to make many changes or boost their players to play and win the matches in the world cup.

Sri Lanka indeed needs some psychological therapy. I am looking at their recent stats for both ODI and test in espncricinfo. And this is what I found:

2 test with Ozs: 2 - 0 whitewash
Only T20 with NZ: Lost
3 ODI with NZ: Lost 3 - 0 whitewash
2 test with NZ: 2 - 0 whitewash

This team seriously needs some psychological attention.

Such a shame, they were defeated as a team in all departments. Their performance getting worse day to day but seems like couldn't get picked up any clue to overcome and improve their innings. Looking forward Sri Lanka how hard they fight to win matches against South Africa. Will they come back really strong in South Africa as Dinesh Chadimal claiming.

Like I said in my previous post, Sri Lanka needs special psychological attention. They lost the track and possibly believe that they can win. From last several series they have not won any match at all which is a shame.

I do agree that they need to do something about this. but they fought well in NZ's tour in pieces (Test-ODI) before losing. the more disappointing result was against England at their own home soil.

They need to improve their domestic cricket. its one of the worst when compared with other teams. they are not producing good player because of this and financial condition of Board not helping at all.

T20 cricket prediction and discussion

Will drop by and say Hi  

Strac ripped through Sri Lanka in both innings taking 10 wickets for the match and deserved man of the match.

Finally Old (Softy) Strac back after a long time. he waited for 10 wicket haul for so long, almost one year, right?

[vella85]

Sri Lanka had a very poor test series against Australia, they didn't show much fight at all which was a shame as it would of been nice to see them fight a lot harder today and make Australia earn their wickets but that wasn't the case. Strac ripped through Sri Lanka in both innings taking 10 wickets for the match and deserved man of the match. Sri Lanka have a long way to go before they come good again, I just hope that it doesn't take too long.

Certainly , otherwise this thread would be flooded with all matches ( including other international matches ) . I feel like that thread will get active once IPL starts .

As somebody already mentioned , fitness is an issue too they should learn how to bat for long .
