In the histroy of the game - & please add on if i am wrong - i think Imran is the only guy who became an out and out quick after debuting as a medium pacer.
He was the one guy who completely remodelled his runup, his approach to the crease, the jump - complete overhaul of his bowling action - you need tremendous foresight, courage, risk taking ability and also heaps of determination, strength, tenacity to do this. Hence why in my eyes he is a true legend.

i wish a young guy like Arshdeep added another 10 kmph (easier said than done).

What india lack is a good LH pacer.

Sorry to cut your train of thought but I disagree with Renshaw not being Odi material.

He's has the technique for it. T20 is the one format he cant fit in. But renshaw is needed in the aussie set up.

Australia lost its past 3 odi series including Sri lanka and Pakistan because they kept trying to create a 2019 Tulla 11 for their odi setup.

The top 3 being Green, Head and Marsh are fine. But you can't exactly have the rest of the 11 be certified hacks either.

Players like renshaw are needed especially with Steve Smith retiring and Labu gone for good.

hmm..valid point, but i would'nt put Cam green in top 3 in ODI. He has long levers, can be a good spin basher and a tall guy like him would be effective at the death when bowlers try to either bowl the wide yorkers or try to reverse and pitch it up.

i neve said he is not ODI material but i defo say he is a pure test batsman and Aus are wasting him by his non selection. Yes with SS retired, he can be the guy who does the role of being the backbone and let the stroke players play around him, much like what virat used to do in ODI cricket in indian side.
 
Aussies are hard to beat how did pak manage that
India beat them in two test series back to back and won Perth test last time. That is way way harder to beat Australia in a bilateral. India has two dead weights who are pulling them down. On the same ground Jaiswal made 161 against an attack that had Cummins as well.

Green at no 4, I agree with you.

Renshaw at no 3 ideally.
 
So then why are India playing Kohli and Sharma? 🤡
Last series for them . Then we properly entered in Abhishek , Jaiswal and gill era . It's good for us that rohit and Kohli failed otherwise they will be thinking about 2027 World Cup.

Don't worry this is rain effected games and still 7 game left in this series . 5 match T20 series Where we play with our firepower.

:klopp :kp
 
Australia always hurting India the most.

A) First to break their streak in 2025.

B) Mentally hurt them In BGT

C) The 2023 scar will never fade until they win another world cup. They are coping with mickey mouse trophies (CT and T20 2024 🤣🤣)

This is how we smashed AUSTRALIA and Pakistan in the champion trophy 2025.
Keep happy with meaningless odi win 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

:klopp :kp
So predictable tsk tsk.
 
We have enough evidence what over-staying senors can do to a transition team. It just prolongs the transition. Two guys occupying pivoltal position ruined India in Tests. Once they left India looked a different team. Same will happen after these two leave. Till then fans just have to wait and watch
 
First your team win a match against India re talk about. I remembered how you surrendered infront of me during Asia cup challenge and run Away. 🤡🤡🤡👠

:klopp :kp
Like you surrendered for the women Australia vs India match..

I dont think they have any shame or guilty conscience.unless India gets white washed and management/selectors throw them out, they will stay as leeches

They will get whitewashed much like they did in Test series against NZ with these two. No.1 and no.3 have to be the most important positions. Also now that ROhit is not the captain he doesn't have to take the heat on as a captain. Everything will fall on Gill.

I didn't challenge like you challenged me during Asia cup them surrendered and run Away

Stick to your team Pakistan and enjoy winning against Minnows Bangladesh, Zimbabwe , Bangladesh etc.

You cannot win from India

Heat will be on Gill but everyone knows the white elephant issue.so its all about how tough Gill is to cut down the losses quickly.someone will be a bad cop but I hope its gill to set the matters straight.

Gill is already a bad cop now. Rohit fans are trolling him inecessantly how their idolo is center piece in this mess
 
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.
Even an old Shami is 100 times better than Harshit Rana.
 
Kohli and Rohit are the third wheels in the Indian cricket team. Everybody is just too polite to tell them to buzz off from the team.

Australia Crush India in Perth as Marsh Shines and Gill’s Captaincy Debut Ends in Defeat

Mitchell Marsh ruined Shubman Gill’s ODI captaincy debut as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli struggled to make an impact in their much-anticipated return to international cricket.

On a damp afternoon at Optus Stadium, the series opener was cut to 26 overs per side after frequent rain interruptions. India managed just 136 for 9, collapsing to 45 for 4 against a relentless Australian new-ball attack led by Josh Hazlewood, much to the frustration of a crowd of 42,423.

When the weather finally cleared, Marsh guided Australia home with an unbeaten 46 off 52 balls, steering his side past the revised target of 131 in the 22nd over. ODI debutant Matt Renshaw, playing his first international white-ball match almost nine years after his Test debut, remained 21 not out.

Expectations were high for an aggressive start from Marsh and Travis Head, but batting under lights on a seaming pitch proved tricky. Head’s lean run continued as he slashed Arshdeep Singh straight to deep third, giving India early hope. Marsh began cautiously, scoring just two runs off his first nine balls before launching Arshdeep for a leg-side six. Once settled, he mixed power with control, only briefly shaken by a Mohammed Siraj bouncer that struck his helmet.

Australia didn’t have it all their way. Matt Short fell cheaply for 8, undone by left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who impressed as India’s standout performer with both bat and ball. Returning wicketkeeper Josh Philippe seized his opportunity, smashing 37 off 29 balls and showcasing sharp glove work behind the stumps.

For India, the return to ODI cricket after their Champions Trophy triumph in March was far from ideal. Constant rain interruptions broke rhythm and momentum, while the top order struggled to adjust to Australia’s relentless back-of-a-length bowling. Rohit’s scratchy 8 and Kohli’s eight-ball duck disappointed the sea of blue shirts in the stands.

Hazlewood was exceptional, exploiting the bounce with surgical precision to deliver a spell of 2 for 20 in seven overs, including 35 dot balls. Left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann and debutant Mitchell Owen also chipped in with two wickets apiece, as Australia maintained control throughout.

With overcast skies above—a rarity in Perth—Marsh had opted to bowl first despite minimal grass on the surface. Kohli, who has fond memories of the venue from his Test heroics in 2018 and 2024, looked composed in the nets but was quickly undone by the disciplined duo of Hazlewood and Starc. Hazlewood drew a thick edge off Kohli’s drive, brilliantly caught by Cooper Connolly at backward point, sending the crowd into a stunned silence. As Kohli walked off—possibly for the final time in Perth—some fans rose for a standing ovation.

Earlier, Rohit had been outfoxed by Hazlewood’s steep bounce, edging to second slip. The pressure then fell on Gill, who was fresh off a Test series win over West Indies. He showed glimpses of class with a crisp drive off Hazlewood but eventually flicked down the leg side to hand Nathan Ellis a wicket first ball, departing for 10.

Persistent drizzle led to the first rain-shortened ODI in Perth since 1983. After another brief restart, Shreyas Iyer gloved a short one from Hazlewood to Philippe, leaving India tottering at 45 for 4. KL Rahul and Axar Patel briefly revived the innings with counter-attacking strokes, thrilling the Indian fans with a burst of boundaries before Axar holed out to Kuhnemann.

Rahul’s pair of sixes and a late cameo from debutant Nitish Reddy provided some respectability to India’s total, but it wasn’t nearly enough. Australia’s chase, anchored by Marsh’s composure and Philippe’s fluency, sealed a comfortable win—spoiling Gill’s first outing as ODI captain and marking a forgettable return for India’s senior stars.
 
Expecting a 36 & 38 year old who were potm in semi & final in their previous matches in the blue jersey to start hitting from ball one on a bouncy & spicy seaming wicket is hilarious to say the least especially when they both played their last competitive matches in last week of May.

The new captain & no.1 ODI ranked batsman couldn't get going on this track & posters here expect the two veterans without any match practice will start smashing from the 1st ball.

Australia won an important toss today, Starc & Hazelwood were superb with the new ball & constant start stop didn't help India either. Australia didn't have to face rain delays even once & India had once in a generational talent Harshit Rana as first change bowler.

Anyways on to the next ODI at Adelaide on Thursday.
 
It would have been interesting how Australia would have batted in that morning conditions where ball was doing all sorts of things
 
Big fan of Mitch Marsh, the white-ball batter. He doesn't get enough credit. I think he walks into any ODI or T20 XI in the world.

Last 30 ODIs,

Average - 49, strike rate - 105

T20I's over the same period

Average - 40, strike rate - 159


Was an unfulfilled talent for years but he's found his range and consistency in the last 3 years.
 
Just goes to show that without the ICC manipulating schedules and venues and pitches in India’s favour, they can collapse against SENA teams in bilaterals
 
It’s just one game. Wait for a couple more before making any conclusions.

On flat decks, they will find the rhythm again and the fans will start calling it a divine miracle again.
 
RoKo will need to go..

Absolutely no , they have to retired or forced to dropped after this series .

We have better replacement, jaiswal and Abhishek are already more than ready to replace them .

No more ROKO .

:kp
 
India lost. :dav

Jaiswal, Tilak, and Abhishek deserve a spot in the team, while Rohit and Kohli should bid farewell to ODIs and focus on promoting their brands elsewhere. :inti
 
Why do you keep quoting this account? Ashok Swine is a known India hater and runs a click bait account for gullible Pakistanis like you. His channel is even banned in India.

As a loyal follower you should ask him - did Australian cricket board head acted like 5 rupee twitter troll by posting pics of Ronaldo and claiming downing 6 jets or ran away with the trophy?

:klopp
Banning a twitter account for speaking the truth, How gutless
 
Captains to lose their first match in all three formats in men's Internationals:

🇳🇿 Stephen Fleming
🇿🇦 Shaun Pollock
🇱🇰 Tillakaratne Dilshan
🇳🇿 Brendon McCullum
🇿🇼 Hamilton Masakadza
🇮🇳 Virat Kohli
🇵🇰 Mohammad Rizwan
🌴 Jason Holder
🇮🇳 SHUBMAN GILL

Such a brutal hooker and puller of the ball, has the potential to destroy bowling line-ups when he gets going. It's impressive to see how much he has elevated his game in recent times.

I knew he was doing well recently, but not that well.
Hope he continues like this.
 
This game had everything that can kill cricket. An absolutely meaningless ODI, stop start due to rain and a 27 over DL result. ICC must delete this from record book. Atleast for me this game never happened.
 
The Aussies are preparing for the Ashes

There are going to be more bouncy pitches.

More technique flaws of Indian batsmen will be exposed.

Bowlers are also struggling to find the right length because they have never bowled on this kind of Aussie pitch before.

Aussie Pitches were toned down for the recent past tours to have the Indian viewers continue watching the games on TV - money matters!!! Indians of late have a history of not appreciating good cricket of the opponents. The recent ODI WC final is a good example - many spectators left the half way through the second innings when Head was taking the Indian bowling to cleaners.

This was not the pitch where fast bowlers go for LBW or bowled like Arshdeep was trying. The ball bounce over the stumps unless you bowl Yorkers or over-pitch.

This was the pitch where you get the batsmen get caught out by forcing an error. Rana was also expecting to get the LBW most of the time, which was not doable here.
 
Pakistan and Bangladeshi fans celebrating an Indian loss in a meaningless ODI.

Absolute losers :ROFLMAO:

LOL don't forget the nature

Weather is jealous of you guys too

How come the Aussie innings didn't get interrupted by rain?

Totally unfair, I tell you 🤣

For me, you never happened. To speak like your friend Devad.

You was a mistake.
 
India has to rest players in between. Gill's schedule is crazy

1) 5 test series as captain in ENgland
2) Asia cup as vice captain in UAE
3) 2 test series at home
4) Now ODI/T20 series at Australia

You can't have bs scehdule like this for one player. It is very hard to switch on and off for different formats. After this series they have a test series at home followed by test series in Bangladesh. There is virtually no gap.

You probably should have reserved this advice for Akram, Waqar lol They were doing the same. That is why Pakistan lost every single test match in Australia since 1996 where as India won several tests in Australia and a couple of series as well. That too with guys like Natrajan, Saini, Thakur. Every single test team is getting undressed in Australia and sent home. Only team that competed there in the last 20 years is India and SA to some extent

India cannot play Test series and T20 series and Test series and ODI series with no break. Too much cricket. We have another test series coming back. Test players shoudln't be playing One dayers at all.

Three formats is too much. Combine LOI into single T30 format and call it a day.

sounds like way too many excuses after losing to Aus B team.
If Pakistan lost to this team, people would be panicking here and losing their mind over losing to alleged B team.

You guys are too quick to crucify your team. It’s justified given what’s happening lately, but even before when you were doing relatively better, it was pretty evident fans are too ready to criticize players who were their favorites.

It’s ok to have a few failures. See how Kohli showed up in the final of the T20 World Cup and on that fateful October 22nd in Melbourne, after not having performed for a long time. You do give a longer rope to your champions. It’s ok, losses happen. No need to panic if you lose a few games while winning a vast majority of what you play.

More Pakistani posters need to read this! I do agree. I watch media and forums of several cricketing nations, and Pakistani fans and media are by far the most negative. Always downgrade victory calling opponents and turn savage when they lose. That’s why team is perpetually under pressure in a lose lose situation.
