The first ODI of the Australia’s tour of New Zealand started today at Auckland but the there is no broadcasting in India. Cricket fans in India are fleeing deprived, so does Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. New Zealand batting first scored 307. Opener Martin Guptill continued his swan song as he notched up a 76 ball 90.
Ashwin, being a keen follower of the game, was disappointed by the blackout of Indian sports broadcaster as they did not broadcast an important match between two top class teams.
The NZ vs AUS game is not live in India??

@Jesse_Hogan unfortunate cricket tragic,very sad this match at Auckland isn’t available for us.400 par score may be.

Ashwin predicted a 400 plus score at Eden Park, Auckland looking at the early carnage in the game at which the jounalist joked as Ashwin is turning into a batsman as bowlers around the world are battering by the batsmen.
@ashwinravi99 Par scores are getting ridiculous. Who’d want to be a bowler?? Good on you for resisting.

Ashwin agreed that turning into a batsman would be a good step. He also made a wit tweet, saying that bowlers are either too generous to batsman or too bad batsmen and thus are forced to become bowlers.
@Jesse_Hogan hahahah,bowlers these days come out of pure love for the art or just cant hold a bat.
