Australia (131/3) defeat India (136/9) by 7 wickets via the DLS method in the first ODI to go 1-0 up in the 3-match series

[CrIc_Mystique]

3 down....bit unlucky though to gill....but good bowling by ellis.

If this keeps up, this site is going to be buzzing

 

[jnaveen1980]

On this same perth Jaiswal made 161.

It will keep up. indian batting unit is very light. Actual inform batsmen are Gill and Rahul. Iyer is coming after a while. Two dead weights. 3 all rounders. It is Gill/Rahul or bust unit.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Bhai not talking about those days.

2023 india was easily their strongest team.

This is an expired rohit, kohli and axar Patel batting at 5. Its a paper thin lineup

India played Axar at 5 in Champions Trophy 2025, sticking to winning formula. It doesn't swing & seam this much in South Africa, also 1st match for both Rohit & Virat after last week of May.

 

[tiger_khan]

First bouncy pitch in years and Indian batting falls like a house of cards

On a different note, Aussies are serious about their preparation for the Ashes. A bouncy Australian summer awaits them

Yeah cause like I said, beating india in dubai is damn near impossible.

Also this team is even weaker, no Bumrah or Pandya(pandya who was a feature in asia cup)

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

25/3 .

Wannabee purch curating dubai and indian bullies being exposed.

Exposed in aus, Exposed in England, Now exposed in aus again .

whilst on figment of imagination....your' s is pretty fertile on that front

 

[mominsaigol]

whilst on figment of imagination....your s is pretty fertile on that front

India did get exposed. Very very brutally. The results dont display the harsh reality for those people who actually bothered to watch that series.

A lot of people 'actually bothered' to watch that series.

On most counts and parametrics ie session percentages, control percentages - India actually dominated, leave alone led....

Bumrah didn't play in Champions Trophy. Pandya missing from that team. India will miss Pandya's bowling on such wickets.

 

[Devadwal]

Ro-ko needs to pack their bags. They can't score runs without match practice anywhere in the world leave alone in SENA.

1st test: England chased a record total and proceeded to Humiliate India .

3rd and 4th test root gave everyone a heart attack by crapping on sachin and england won the 3rd test.

5th test England nearly won by siraj pulled a miracle and I respect him for that.

India didn't have a single convincing victory excluding the 2nd test.

7. Axar

This needs to be India’s Top 7 in SA, they shouldn’t need to worry too much about the left-hand combinations, just stick your best players in and they will reap the rewards.

With the firepower in that line up, I wouldn’t even put an all rounder at 8 to deepen the line up, just stick your best three pacers (Bumrah, Siraj, Arshdeep/Shami) and Kuldeep in, they will be enough in those conditions.

For non-asian conditions moving forward

 

[mominsaigol]

India will probs be bowled out for 100

 

[Ahmed216]

Cant keep a clutch finisher like Tilak out for too long.

 

[Ahmed216]

India will probs be bowled out for 100

How will Travis score a hundred then. Let them get up to 150

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indians would have played aggressively. But early wickets mean they have to play with circumpsection.

He's Travis Head. He can do anything.

 

[tiger_khan]

This is what the Australian pitches used to look like historically

Always tested the batsmen's back foot game and patience

Contrary to the popular belief, most of the wickets of South Asian decent batsmen used to be playing off the front foot instead of back foot. It's difficult to drive on these pitches. Deliveries often are mistimed in the early part of individual innings. The ball seems as if it's up and is there to drive but usually bounces and inch or two more. That's enough to mistime the shot

But all this was thrown out of the window by Cricket Australian for the TV money. Wanted to have longer games with India. Pitches were made flatter. Australian captains actually complained about it publicly.

May one small pro of WTC is that pitches will regain their characters in Australia and England. Seems unlikely but possible.

 

[mominsaigol]

The only person I'm worried about is sheryas iyer who's actually a good batsmen and is underrated by Indian management.

He can genuinely turn things around

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jaiswal told "you are bowling slow" to Starc on this pitch lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Definitely cloudy condition helps swing. Combination of swing, pace, seam make it difficult

 

[mominsaigol]

Jaiswal told "you are bowling slow" to Starc on this pitch lol

Ya and then proceeded to get mauled 4 tests after. Ipl only fans should be removed from this thread

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cant keep a clutch finisher like Tilak out for too long.

This is a farewell series for oldies. So write-off series for India. If that result helps get rid of these two there is nothign like it

 

[Champ_Pal]

Feels like Test cricket.

India will be lucky to score 100 here.

200 can be a winning score in these conditions.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Josh is bowling at 140kp.. Damn they want to make a statement do they

 

[U$ofA]

Cannot believe I am actually seeing this. Do I detect a bit of a protrusion in the stomach area for Hazelwood?

In Australia yes and they already have as Aus wants to win.

In England no as those pitches never suited england, they got beaten black and blue on their own den.

They continue to curate flat wickets because with the exception of one off outliers like the 2nd test, they can genuinely outbat anyone in England.

 

[Nabeel23]

ABhishek wo't find a place yet. Gill will open. No. 3will be Tilak varma. Abhishek should just stick to T20 for now.

Abhishek should open, he has the game to take full advantage of the powerplay even in one days turning a 60-0 to 80-0 in the first 10 overs

Gill is suited to 3, he has got the best all round game to anchor the innings. I like Tilak, he could be tried but I feel like 4 would be a good position for him if given a chance.

 

[Justcrazy]

If Kohli and Rohit are not in plans for 27 WC , they should not be playing.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Feels like Test cricket.

Our bowling is not good for these conditiosn. No bUmrah.

 

[Ahmed216]

Bounce seam swing. Tough conditions to bat. Tougher than Pak vs AUS game here last year

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Kohli and Rohit are not in plans for 27 WC , they should not be playing.

Since they have nto announced retirement, BCCI was forced to pick them. It is unprofessional. They don't need to pick them if they don't even play domestic List A

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rain back again.... Gonna lose more overs

 

[globetrotter]

Our bowling is not good for these conditiosn. No bUmrah.

Today Nitish reddy will surprise elite his bowling performance

 

[mominsaigol]

Anytime india try to stablise rain comes along . Good. That's what they deserve

Abhishek

Gill

KL
Tilak

Kuldeep
Arshdeep
Bumrah
Siraj

For non-asian conditions moving forward

Kuldeep will not find a place because he cannot bat well. Tail will be too long.

Washington always will find a place over Kuldeep in SENA. In Asia India can play 2 seamers or 1 seamer and select Kuldeep.

Your squad is excellent though.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bounce seam swing. Tough conditions to bat. Tougher than Pak vs AUS game here last year

Job of openers and no.3 to see this phase through. But we had two walking wickets and they exposd middle order to new ball in these condition.

 

[Hitman]

Funny how some blind fans on X were busy making a villain out of Ajit Agarkar. That's the problem with those set of fans, they can't accept that their heroes have been over the hill since long.​

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Jaiswal told "you are bowling slow" to Starc on this pitch lol

lol...that was fun...needled up ol starc and put the pepper up his nose...he did get yash's number later in the series... from memory yash just got a couple of 70's at Melbourne but didnt do much other than those and that massive 100 at Perth....
Albeit - that is much more than a lot of other visiting batsmen ever managed...

 

[Champ_Pal]

Our bowling is not good for these conditiosn. No bUmrah.

If the conditions stay the same Arshdeep and Siraj will be very threatening. Don’t like Harshit Rana.

 

[Hitman]

If Kohli and Rohit are not in plans for 27 WC , they should not be playing.

We better say goodbye to the 2027 WC if both of them are selected.

He was very good when he got run out. That oculd have been potentially match winning iknock

 

[Justcrazy]

Too many rain breaks , its killing momentum.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If the conditions stay the same Arshdeep and Siraj will be very threatening. Don’t like Harshit Rana.

This requires accuracy like Hazlewood. Josh can bang it in 8 meter mark all day. These guys will experiment and get caretered around. None of them have ODi experience bar Siraj. Even Siraj has played nothign recently.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Anytime india try to stablise rain comes along . Good. That's what they deserve

when coping mech goes into overdrive...did'nt see 'deserve' thrown around in April and sept this year ...oh - did the 'deserving' just win the CT and AC?

Aussies batting is not that steady , India can put them under pressure.

2027 WC is in South Africa. I think India won’t make it to Finals.

true, that game at the very minimum we could have saved...if not won...

 

[jnaveen1980]

true, that game at the very minimum we could have saved...if not won...

For a noob opener he ended up being the highest run getter of the series followed by Nitish Reddy. Kohli and Rohit were somewhere at the bottom.

 

[mominsaigol]

I never made any of those claims. I dont know which poster you are associating me with, but I am my own man.

And I am the greatest of all time.

 

[tiger_khan]

Weather is not looking good. October is never good for cricket in Australia and NZ, except for Adelaide may be.

I suspect someone in India wanted players and officials to spend the Dewali season outside India, with all expenses paid by the board LOL

How much the new captain Gill scored? Why blame only Rohit and Kohli?

Gill had all the more reason to play a captain's innings, after both the "outdated" (as you suggest) players got out in front of him

 

[kron]

2027 WC is in South Africa. I think India won’t make it to Finals.

India has a very good record in SA

I wouldn’t be surprised if they make it to finals.

We just need to drop finished washed up trash mediocre dead old kohli and Rohit

That’s all.

 

[Ted123]

Good record is thanks to washed up trash mediocre dead old Kohli.

Gill got strangled down. Besides if you lose two wickets he won't play naturally.

 

[kron]

These two guys screwed us NZ and Australia test series before retiring. They are goign to screw this one up before calling it a day. Since it is ODI series i don't care if we losea as long as these two retire

Not really atg in tests. Kohli prime maybe top 15 at best

No true match winning knock in ko for either in odi either.

I would say top 10 at best for both even in odi

In t20 ok top 5 that’s all

 

[kron]

Good record is thanks to washed up trash mediocre dead old Kohli.

Lmao nope. We never even needes them to perform

And they are like 55 years old so no thanks

We won last time in SA vs their full strength side with our C team

So don’t worry about us

We will be in the final

Focus on your team

 

[tiger_khan]

Gill got strangled down. Besides if you lose two wickets he won't play naturally.

This is bogus excuse

 

[jnaveen1980]

Will the match happen or not? Don't want to waste my time

India woman's team match is starting in 4 hours. Atleast i can watch that as it is an important match for India.

 

[mominsaigol]

Gill is a FTB thats why.

 

[kron]

KL Rahul is probably the only guy who can handle this surface

Yea no he can’t
Mental midget trash. He belongs in the bin too

 

[tiger_khan]

On this same perth Jaiswal made 161.

that pitch wasn't this bouncy

the ball didn't even carry to Usman Khwaja at the first slip

here the ball is carrying to the slip at chest height.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is bogus excuse

No. He looked good. as long as he was there. Stop making direct comparison. Kohli was getting out chasing a wide ball like he did 8 times in AUstralia last time. This is nonsenseical excuse to keep Rohit and Kohli.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Will the match happen or not? Don't want to waste my time

It will be raining throughout this match, Australia might get a 140-150 target in 20-25 overs to chase.

 

[Devadwal]

2027 WC is in South Africa. I think India won’t make it to Finals.

Semi is guarantee , you or any one can bet on this with me.

People's are reading too much with just 11 over time .lol

 

[Vikram1989]

Iyer is gone.india should get someone who can handle bounce for sa 27 wc.

 

[tiger_khan]

Axar is a tall guy...goes to show how height matters on bouncy austarilian pitches

Ravi Shastri also did well in Australia

Good to see austraila resurrecting the nature of its pitches

South Asian teams with their technique based on flat pitches stand no chance on bouncy pitches, except for some Sri Lankan batters. Sri Lankans have traditionally have been good batters of bouncy deliveries,

 

[mominsaigol]

It'll be washed off. Perth just aint yhat great this time of year

 

[Ali Active]

32 over per side aussies will probably bat for 20 overs

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Shami was there. Jadeja was there. Sundar hasn't exactly played enough ODIs. It is a different matter INdia can send a completely different unit outside this squad and compete. But i won't say they are not missing anyone. Right now INdia has no death bowling. no new ball bowling. You can literally target any pacer in this line up.

Shami's career seems over, for all intents and purposes. Jadeja's record in ODIs was never that great to begin with and it seems like he has been deliberately excluded because they want to focus on Sundar and Axar.

Yeah but that happens in a transitional phase. India's 2023 World Cup team is reaching the end of the line. But that doesn't mean that the side India has selected isn't full-strength.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Australia is always a difficult place for subcontinent teams.

Rain may have saved grace for India.

India shouldn't loss hope. If Pakistan can make a comeback and win series then so can India.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Another match ruined by rain....

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Not necessarily over, i feel Mo shami redeems himself in domestics , he's got a big chance for ODI WC and also tests. He will be the kind of bowler who wold be a handful in Saf conditions. and i have a feeling he will be back in india colors very soon.

For Rav jadz i feel the scenario was easier - the selectors and mgmt thought Kull, Akshar and Washy could do the spin trick in this Aus series. He is more likely of the two to be back...
