by INDIA Lost the 1st ODI miserbly by 28 runs.
Put to bat by Azhar, NZ scored 240/5 in 50 overs (THomson and Fleming - 80s,
Srinath 2/??, Kumble 1/41, Ankola 1/??). Bad bowling by srinath in the 2nd
spell, gave away 15 runs in the last over.
Chasing The total India made 212/9 (Sidhu 33, Jadeja 55, Kambli 33, )
Indians were strongly poised in the start and later due to Jadeja and Kambli,
the run rate went extremely down and finally India cudn't make it.
This is the most disgusting performance of indians in the last 10 ODIs.
DAN MORRISON GOT A HATRICK IN THE 2ND SPELL!!
GREAT PERFORMANCE KIWIS!!!!!!!!!!
He got 2 wickets in the last 2 balls of his 9th over and a wicket in the first
ball of his 10th over. That makes him the first KIWI to take a HATRICK in ODI.
This must be a sweet revenge for KIWIS as CHetan sharma had taken a HATRICK
against the New z's in the reliance cup '87.
CONGRATULATIONS KIWIS !!!

PS: At the start of the game the NZ commentator said INDIA has the strongest
batting line-up. Well, INDIANS should prove it atleast in the 2nd ODI on
sunday (27th). GO FOR IT....Indians !!
