Champions Trophy Game 15 Final India v New Zealand 9/3 1930hrs @ Dubai International Cricket Stadium

Has batting first in Dubai won many games?

In a Final I reckon I'd want to know what we're chasing I'm not sure batting first was the right call for New Zealand

We have finally started bowling spin, we should have been bowling spin straight away, pace is much easier to hit on this pitch.

 

[ams4crows]

Why wouldn't Williamson be on the Field? Looks pretty comfortable on the bench

 

[scottywiper]

Sounded like an edge?

I turned off the tv with Prime working turn on the computer and it's a 'please stand by'?

 

[Moonwatcher]

And we're back

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just in time for the ads

 

[Moonwatcher]

Phillips lol

 

[Moonwatcher]

Could have caught that without launching himself backwards lol

Hopefully the Champions Trophy is consigned to the dustbin of history after this.

It's clearly run its race.

 

[Plugger35]

Phillips with another screamer, game on.

It's clearly run its race.

Make it Eng/Aus/Ind/SA/NZ then one of pakistan/sri lanka/WI 2 matches against each opponent then top 2 play a final. Maybe 3/4 play for (shameful) bronze.

 

[Moonwatcher]

I raised my finger in front of the computer.

Nice review dickhead

 

[Moonwatcher]

In line and plumb

 

[Plugger35]

Kohli gone, the Black Caps are right back in this now.

 

[Doggy]

Haha ... cricinfo ... "he has to review doesn't he? And he does". Indians can never believe Kohli is out.

 

[Doggy]

Kohli gone, the Black Caps are right back in this now.

They're a few wickets away from having a chance

 

[Moonwatcher]

They're a few wickets away from having a chance

They've given themselves a chance at having a chance.

 

[Plugger35]

We should have bowled spin from the start, pace bowlers are much easier to score off

 

[Doggy]

Lol Indian crowd.

It's also a farce saying Pakistan have hosted this thing. India has hosted it.

 

[Doggy]

Back to the buffet tubby

 

[Moonwatcher]

Sometimes defending a small total you've just got to buy the wicket of the absolute guns like Rohit and tighten the scores on everyone else. NZ have got themselves right in this.

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra gets Rohit stumped, this is game on now for real.
