ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

The West Indies are building up a new team, and the majority of their players are inexperienced, so you can expect this unpredictability. They just lost the ODI series against New Zealand with only one match left in the series as it is a five-match series. They also lost to Sri Lanka recently. But they previously won the ODI series against Pakistan, Bangladesh and England. Eventually they will become more consistent as the new players gain more experience.

Shai hope will be the player to watch at the match, because in the first game of the series he scored 87 runs and that was massive played a huge role in the win for West Indies. But after that brilliant innings, he is not even able to score 10 runs in the further games. West Indies will surely hope to see their main player back in form. Maybe we will also see a single change in the playing 11, Shimron Hetmyer could replace Sherfane Rutherford.

There is 115th match of WCL2 is live and Nepal and Namibia are playing this match. And this match is really interesting by the way because I was not expecting that Nepal would show a bad performance like this. The Nepal team got out at 152 runs which is really disappointing moment for Nepal fans. And Namibia is in good position because they are trying to held the wickets and currently they have made 116 runs and only lost 2 wickets and I think they will easily win this match.

Namibia won the match quite easily because there bowlers were able to restrict Nepal for 157 runs in 46.5 overs. JJ Smit picked 6 wickets in this match and this is also his best bowling figure of ODI career. Namibia lost only 2 wickets and finished the match in 38th over. After this win Namibia and Nepal both have 11 wins in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Nepal is still ahead of Namibia because of NRR, now Nepal need victories if they want to stay ahead of Namibia in the tournament.

Rohit Sharma silenced his critics today by his magnificent knock of 138 runs that include 5 sixs. The 39 years opener proved today that he is fit to play the upcoming ODI world cup. The top three Indian batsmen worked hard to win the game but India still lost the game because rest of batsmen failed to score winning runs. Jacob Bethell was given player of the match but I think Ben Duckett deserve that award more because of his 141 runs innings. 

The first game won by West Indies and then in all the next games, New Zealand made a come back, Now New Zealand have already won the series and in the next very few of the hours, the match is about to start which is going to be the fifth game, this game not contains any value but if you think from coach point of view, it help the coaches to test different playing 11 especially New Zealand.

This game is very surprising because it's expected that Nepal puts a strong total but unexpectedly Nepal lost all the wickets early on under 200 runs and according to pitch conditions it's a very low target because their batting order struggled against the spinning attack but if the partnership between Dipendra Singh and Rohit Paudel remains stable then Nepal easily puts the string target of so due to batting collapse that's Nepal don't post competitive score. Due to low target Namibia chase it very easily and Jan Frylink was so effective because he lonely puts the great impact by chasing the target So the real hero of this game was Smith who puts fifer and take the important wickets for the team both Smith and Frylink have a good record against Nepal.

Nepal has many talented bowlers like Sompal Kamal and Nandan and if Kamal puts some extra efforts then may be Nepal give hard time to Namibia .So the basic reason of Nepal's collapse is that today the pitch is supporting to spin and also Nepal's batters played with non technical way so they pic wrong shot and lost the wickets. Also Namibia well knows the history of ground so they chose to field first after winning the toss in future. Namibia has good stats for qualification in the 2027 ICC World Cup Qualifier but Nepal needs some improvements like there batting order requires a lot of work to improve.

India has always had good batters, but they struggle to find good quality bowlers. In the final ODI, Jasprit Bumrah was not included in the team, and I am not sure about the reason even though it was a crucial match where the winner takes the series and all the Indian bowlers struggled.

I understand that it was a flat batting friendly wicket, but bowlers like Bumrah will always find a way to restrict the flow of runs. If they need to be successful like they used to be, they need to revamp their bowling attack.

Isn't it obvious? Bumrah was injured or they just didn't want to risk his health probably for this series which most people will forget about in a few weeks. England themselves are in a bad spot these days losing FIFA WC semi and their women losing the T20 WC final.

Winning these low level tournaments are something of a consolation prize for them. Team management are probably saving Bumrah for the upcoming tests against NZ later.

India just exposed themselves to the world of cricket that they are not that strong on their bowling performance when they don't have Bumrah with the new ball attack and Hardik Pandya to balance their team, they should find a way to fix these two holes because relying on an individual is a bad thing for this much domination they showed to the world in the last decade.

Selectors should start grooming pacers from Ranji and other lagues rather than just from IPL because they are not effective when it comes to longer formats.

Namibia won the toss but decided to bowl first, because they know the pitch will be supportive later. So Nepal came on the ground for their turn, but their performance was very disappointing, batsmane were lethargic in response. One bowler almost handle all the game from Namibia side. It's JJ Smith whose spell was very interesting and very threatening for Nepal's batman. Means batsman felt helpless against his aggressive bowling, he alone collected 6 wickets that's massive contribution. In 50 overs game when a team has many balls but collapsed on low score indicating their worst preparation. Nepal whole team was out on 157 runs. For Namibia game was very easy, Frylink and Van Lingen serious attitude gave the benefit to the team. On the loss of 2 wickets Namibia wrapped up the game. Nepal was not happy today but they have to give strong come back in upcoming series.

The Indians lost matches, and they know where they lag. Now, it's a challenge for them to fix these issues and make their team a good one, or else leave it that way, where they are losing matches again and again. I think they will soon find a way.

The current ongoing match between New Zealand and West Indies is going very smoothly. The WI team won the toss and decided to bowl first. Now, they have gotten two players of the New Zealand team out for 126 runs in 24 overs. If the team continues to perform well like this, or a little faster, then I am sure they will set a target of above 260.

Injury and match fitness also becoming an issue.

Players pulling out hamy, niggles and cramps seems to be regular now. Guys like washi and jassi are injury prone so i can't understand their case but what worries me more that now even gill, who is fit guy getting cramps in every single match after facing 30-40 balls. Their physio and conditioning guys not doing a good job on players recovery.

When I saw the post, I thought he wasn't warming up properly. Then I found an article explaining that his battle with dengue reduced his body mass, which is why he is struggling with cramps. Since I was not familiar with this disease, I looked into the recovery process and discovered that surfer Andy Irons actually died from the virus, and Ronaldo required a long time to recover his muscle mass.

It was bad luck but then again, England lost against good teams even in the football World Cup, and the same goes for the women's T20 World Cup. However, they surprised in the  bronze medal match against France, which was one the most entertaining matches of the entire tournament.

Regarding Bumrah, I later found an article explaining that he was injured, which is why he was not included in the final ODI.

West Indies got well beaten in that game and their batting was largely to blame. It's not often possible to score 140 runs in an ODI match to put a pressure on an accomplished side like New Zealand. They had some contributions but overall their batsmen were poor at taking ownership, and creating partnerships. New Zealand, however, gave reasons for their dominance in this series, plodding their way to the cause, with a relaxed chase. Though the series has already ended, West Indies need to play out the rest of the match and build on their confidence in upcoming series.

West Indies International cricket team have lose this series because they played very bad in this series and New Zealand International cricket team players are in form and they are playing for the team . Mark Chapman played very well in the last match when they tried to chase the total of 188 and their performance was at top in this match. He played 82 Balls in this match and played with strike rate of the 97 in this match and played in the favour of his team. Gudakesh Motie took 5 wickets in this match and they were very close to win this match but they could not take last wicket of New Zealand team.Santner took responsibility of the team because he was present on the crease at the end of the match.
