Had it on as background noise and thought it was highlights, didn't realise it was live until 30 seconds ago. I've been ignoring it and missed all four wickets

 

[Mp812]

India is 42-4 (6.3 overs)

Ha ha true that. I thought it was a 1 off t20 series but there are 2 more )

 

[Big Mac]

Oh Dhoni, what was that

 

[R0H1T]

MSD showing how <s>it's</s> he's done

 

[RamLakhan]

Dhoni should at least spare T20s. He was never actually good in that format as a batsman, he did well only as Captain and as Keeper. Somebody like Pant can actually be tried as opener or 1 down (without exposing Kohli after an early wicket)

Dhoni the relic keeps embarrassing on the international stage instead of retiring

Be careful, there are many diehard MSD fans here, including those from across the border.

 

[sachin100]

will india atleast play 20 overs ?

 

[R0H1T]

I think they want another 6 overs game

dhoni the hack time is long gone.he will be of zilch use to indian team in 2019 wc

 

[Toaster]

Pandya is the last hope for us. Dhoni as expected failed again in another T20.

 

[Convict]

Wait what. Just saw the scorecard
Glad Dorff got a game. Man Perth Scorchers are going to be hard to beat with Johnson, Behrendorff, Coulter-Nile, Tye and Richardson.

 

[lehen]

Another batting failure by top order.This Indian team has some serious problem in batting with 2 many passengers in the team,even Kohli has looked clueless since CT disasters

aus bowlers on fire

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

i think Aus have finally broken the curse, finally they win a match...

 

[Convict]

aus bowlers on fire

Western Australian bowlers on fire.

This is what we needed.

 

[sachin100]

i think Aus have finally broken the curse, finally they win a match...

i think they have lost 9 t 20is on the trot to india

 

[lehen]

zampa is smart, he is bowling half trackers wide,fast to pandya

 

[sachin100]

Western Australian bowlers on fire.

This is what we needed.

ok.the pitch is very damp and ball is holding and seaming.

 

[Napa]

dhoni the hack time is long gone.he will be of zilch use to indian team in 2019 wc

I really hope he won't be in the WC 2019 team.

 

[Kaptan]

As always. Dhoni is bashed
Not a single post about king kohli.

 

[sachin100]

I really hope he won't be in the WC 2019 team.

he will be and the results will be no different.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

yes, it was eventually going to happen, the top order was reckless today for india..

 

[troodon]

Didn't even know there was a match going on

We are struggling badly.

 

[sachin100]

As always. Dhoni is bashed
Not a single post about king kohli.

yes kohli failed but u r comparing a over the hill hack who has no reason to play t 20 as there is no t 20 wc untill 2020 to a player in his prime.


tell me the logic of playing dhoni in t 20 s

 

[sachin100]

yes, it was eventually going to happen, the top order was reckless today for india..

we r a top heavy team with so many hacks outside of top 3 and it will happen .i find it strange it doesnt happen too often

 

[lehen]

Indian batting is fragile, very very fragile, all the matches we have won in last 2 years is because of bowling, it failed in CT final and we lost

 

[Big Mac]

i think Aus have finally broken the curse, finally they win a match...

India can still get to 120 and who knows, maybe they end up bowling Australia out for 53.

 

[RamLakhan]

Pandya takes on even a medium pacer! He has to save India today again!

 

[lehen]

Lol that was a NO ball, free Hit not given

 

[Specialisttailender]

Come on LOL.

 

[troodon]

Kuldeep is a decent bat. He cannot hit big. But can rotate the strike.

 

[RamLakhan]

India has a poor middle order which is not sorted out, even at the top Dhawan and Rohit are not actually solid (they can do very well on their day though). So at least there should be some solidity in the middle order... Kohli's batting has certainly got affected after captaincy, one can actually analyse his stats (before & after captaincy) for proof!

 

[lehen]

Overpitch ball, a long hop missed by Pandya,India gonna be 45 runs short, should be over within 12 overs for AUS. Hoping for a miracle from the bowlers, pitch has eased quite a bit as evident from Kuldeep's batting

 

[Mp812]

aus all out 99 ))

 

[Specialisttailender]

When the pitch is doing a bit for fast bowlers we are done for.

Just at the wrong time, who's bright idea was to play a night game in the north east

 

[sachin100]

india crossed their lowest scores it seems

 

[sachin100]

all out for 118.some thing for the bowlers atleast to play with

 

[Hitman]

My hometown. Glad I didn't go to the ground.

 

[troodon]

Our middle order of Pandey/Jadhav/Dhoni is cringeworthy.

Pandey for some reason cannot score in International games. He bashes the same bowlers in IPL.

These days, its all about Dhawan/Rohit/Kohli. If these 3 fail, then we are done. Pandya is a decent lower order hitter.

India should do something about that useless middle order. Carrying Jadhav for this long is unacceptable. Dhoni cannot be dropped. He is untouchable.

I would try out Pant/Samson or some other talented bat in these meaningless matches.

 

[sachin100]

why have they prepared seaming pitch for a t 20?

greatest collection of hacks india has ever produced are these trio

 

[lehen]

Every now and then our batters tend to have these shocking batting displays, even CT final was chasable , then I remember some shocking batting displays every 3-4 months in last 2-3 years from this Indian team, these days with 90% of the load/responsibility being on Pandya the Indian team is headed towards troubled future, None of the batsmen are trustworthy and Kohli has deteriorated immensely as a batsman. Having Dhoni is like adding runs to the opponent team,this was a 150+ wicket even after batting first.

 

[Big Mac]

India can still get to 120 and who knows, maybe they end up bowling Australia out for 53.

Bah, 2 runs short

 

[Hitman]

why have they prepared seaming pitch for a t 20?

No idea. A couple of my friends went and were cursing over the phone )

 

[lehen]

This is the seventh instance of India getting all-out in an innings in T20Is - they lost on all previous six instances

Lol, that was out, Not Given and NO review taken

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Karma coming back to bite Indian PP'ers

We have won 7 consecutive t20I against the aussies, 1 loss here wouldn't even matter to Indians after the phainty we have dished out to the aussies in this format

 

[sachin100]

9 i think

 

[sachin100]

61/2

 

[sachin100]

dhoni even ruled against taking drs when kohli was willing to

 

[lehen]

I think that is a bad attitude, we should look to win 30 out of 30 games and if we are happy with only 9 wins then shame on us

 

[MMHS]

I'll have to stop wasting time on LOs these days, until ICC doesn't bring some balance in bat & ball.

90% matches are one sided these days - whoever wins, crashes the loser. That's because this imbalance game doesn't allow any party to make a come back - you have a bad start with bat or ball, almost always you are doomed. That 180 margin isn't going to be first such in a major final going forward - these things happen when people try to hatch 2 eggs in a day by using steroids.

 

[lehen]

The way the pitch played in the latter half of the Indian inning and the 2nd inning, that missed review would not have mattered after all.The match was decided at the toss itself,however that does not take away the fact that our batting is in shambles, well played AUS,favourites to win the series now

 

[IAJ]

What phainty

Australia of past today.

 

[Specialisttailender]

IPL hasn't helped us in T20I like I thought would.

 

[sachin100]

man how can u win every match? r they playing a gully team?team plays to win and on somedays opposition has good day or they r far better than u

 

[ethan hunt]

Indian t20 side is pretty ordinary .
Probably their weakest format . They keep getting thrashed by stronger teams like westindies and co.

 

[sachin100]

thrashing from aus in this game for us

odi s also we r very poor.we have hacks galore in our middle order

 

[lehen]

So what should have been a white wash in both Odis and T20Is is proving to be quite a bitter pill to swallow for Kohli n Co..but atleast I take solace in the fact that Chahal and Kuldeep have been trusted.
Only problem lies with the batting which is like the worst in 2 decades for us

 

[ethan hunt]

No i think your odi side is still much stronger than the t20 side .

odi and t 20 batting is the worst i have ever seen.i have never seen so many hacks in our middle order.

raina is bradman compared to jadav and pandey

Even our recent team has a great win/loss ratio, 2nd only to nz in the last 2 years, don't see where this myth about India not being a great t20 side is coming from
