Do Aussies have any average pace bowler other than those rested. This lot are so poor, can't even beat the batsman with one ball.

Their A side has some good ones. They ran through india in the tour game.
 
Our batting seems to have terribly regressed.

Previously, when you had to pop to the store for milk whilst someone like Dhoni or Yuvraj were at the crease, you could be reasonably sure that they'd be around when you came back from the store (I am talking late 2000s/early 2010s). The Samsons and Iyers do not inspire the same level of confidence - they seem at best good for a good looking 20/30 runs ...
 
Virat should open the batting for RCB. He is better in scoring quick runs in powerplay compared to later on when he find it's a little harder due to field being spread up.

It is only going to get worse once Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli retire from International Cricket. Whatever we have won in the last couple of years it is due to these three players. :inti

Almost every team is poor and every bowler below his best when playing against India these days. LOL

That seems to be true when when these Indian rivals are playing in their home grounds before their own fans and when they have wrecked teams known for being unpredictable and mercurial.
 
There's no real talents coming thru the ranks for india. No batsmen or quicks....
its time for Shreyas Iyer to fire today...and he's torched a review today...what a waste

What you mean these days India lost everything in New Zealand and lost ODIs against Aussies too now. Well done to them for winning against poor bowling Aussies team in this T20 series.
 
Just few weeks back IPL fans went gaga over Samson and criticized selectors, bcci, captain and coach.

Senseless Gambhir compared with Dhoni and said it's India's loss if they don't pick him.

We need to stop elevating players until they play some few notable innings.
 
Swepson and Zampa will be a handful in India. A positive for Australia in this series. They have 2 spinners for Indian conditions.

This is Samson's 6th T20I and he averages just 12. Someone like Pandya took almost 40 matches to play one notable inning in T20I's and he still averages 18. Pant played 27 T20I's too.

It seems some of you hypocrites have different rules for different players. :inti

In Australian innings... Umpire relectunt to raise finger even it was plumb out and another one was umpire's call...
But in Indian innings... Umpire directly raise his finger without any hesitation...
Secondly... Some harsh white calls...

I too criticized Pandya before this series.
Today is best opportunity for Samson.
 
Can I just ask, if the english umpire does not call it wide and you can clearly see Kohli mouthing off against him in his own language...how is this ok in the ICC code of conduct?

Samson is not playing at correct batting position. He is suited to top order, need some pace on bat initially and stands a better chance against the new bowl. Since the top order is already occupied, he is getting chances in the middle only.

We need an explosive batsman in the middle over to stand a chance in WT20 when chasing scores of 180+.

10 and 0 by Samson and Iyer today! What a waste of a space in the team.

Shreyas should be summarily kicked out of our LOI side - he has failed to make use of the golden opportunities offered to him on a platter in this tour - for example, coming in at #2 down when the team was chasing a high 300 score in a one day with 40+ overs to go - he needn't have even have taken the team over the line but atleast could have demonstrated fight - in comparison, Kohli won such games for fun at around Shreyas' age now.

Time to look for someone better at 2 down - maybe some of the youngsta beauties like Kishan, Gill etc.

Pandya ji hai na. :inti
 
In terms of power hitting Babar is far behind than Kohli. Kohli can play in 5th gear while Babar can go upto 3rd gear.Big difference in talent.

It does not matter everyone cannot be Kohli, Babar is very good for Pakistan.
 
Pandya apparently a better player than Imad, Shadab, Harris Sohail and Asif Ali put together
 
So amazing is zampa and even more amazing is finch all the commentators had no clue saying not to bowl zampa but finch knew better. Kohli and pandya are his bunny’s Indians are scared to play zampa they play him with so much caution and as soon as a good bowler came on pandya crumbled like he always does LOL big match winner pandya

Haris is a very good batsman but he is lazy.

Pandya is better than Imad, Shadab, Faheem, Asif Ali, Iftikhar and Khushdil put together.
 
My lord how garbage is this Sean abbot I could bet on him to lose this game if kohli was batting and this guy got man of the match against Pakistan in his last t20
 
Smart cricket by Aussie to bring in Zampa for that over and it paid off he seems to well Agaisnt India

Shame kohli and pandya couldn't finish it off but the better team won at the end of the day
 
What a pathetic fielding performance overall by both teams.
 
Kohli faced more than half of the deliveries in the innings and only scored 85 in a high scoring match that his team ended up losing.
Replace Kohli with Babar and we know what Mamoon and co would be saying right now.
Congrats to India for winning the series.

Babar is 5 years younger than Kohli isnt it? Kohli has clearly passed his peak years and will never be the batsman he was few years ago. In 2016, Kohli single handedly won tge t20 series 3-0 in Australia. Stop this comparison with Babar everytime.
 
Congratulations India on winning the series 2-1 on Australian soil! Deserve huge respect. Rahul, Natarajan and Pandya are going to change the fortunes of this fantastic team in the days to come. India's future is in safe hands after Kohli, Dhawan and Rohit.

If Babar achieves 50% of what Kohli has achieved, I will not criticize him. And for your information, I was one of the few people here who didn’t criticize Babar for his match-losing hundred against Zimbabwe or for his reluctance to bat in the super over.
 
Yea one bad game and now pandya is trash. Get out of here you wastrels.

India win the series anyway. Pointless bilateral but hey hope it build confidence for tests.
 
What happened to the posters who mocked India for celebrating the dead-rubber win in the third ODI?

It appears they didn’t have a problem with Australia’s celebrations today.
 
Don’t really get why Pak fans celebrate Aus wins. I prob hate them more than Indians for their arrogance and cheating.
 
That was one horrible run chase. Don't know what happened to our batting against spin ..that too leg spin at which we were always good at.

Anyways, glad that finally these irrelevant white ball games are over.

Wait for Adelaide begins. :)

Pandya has been amazing in this tour, however looking at his t20I record, It was more of a case of "one good innings" in last match than "one bad innings" in this match.

It was pretty horrible from both sides. Plenty of unforced errors, dropped catches, misfields etc. The umpiring bias became quite evident and blatant towards the end with several big wide ball calls not given, while quite a few border line calls were given when India were bowling. In a close game it does make a huge difference. I hope ICC looks into bringing some consistency in that area. That said, Australia made lesser errors than India and were deserving winners in the end.
 
Hopefully Samson, Shreyas Iyer and Chahar never plays T20 again. Atrocious players.
 
Most Runs Away in T20Is :

Virat Kohli - 1193 Runs
Hafeez - 1110 Runs

Hafeez is underrated in this forum.
 
Matthew Wade’s T20I career-best 80 from 53 balls and three wickets for Mitchell Swepson helped fire Australia to a 12-run victory in the third and final T20I against India in Sydney.


Wade and Glenn Maxwell (54 from 36) combined to put a competitive total on the board and despite a magnificent 61-ball 85 from Virat Kohli, a super spin spell from Swepson saw him take the big wickets of Shikhar Dhawan, Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer to help Australia finish on a winning note, while the tourists took the series 2-1.

With the hosts batting first, Washington Sundar got an early breakthrough as Pandya caught Aaron Finch in the second over but six fours from Wade in the Powerplay helped the hosts reach 51/1.

The Indian attack did well to keep the scoring rate down and Sundar (2/34) caused the damage again as he bowled Steve Smith for 24 in the 10th over.

In the next over, T Natarajan trapped Wade in front but the Indians didn’t ask for the review in time. Replays showed that, had the decision been reviewed, it would have been out.

Maxwell was caught by KL Rahul off Yuzvendra Chahal in the 15th over but the India spinner had overstepped for a no-ball, and the Aussie big-hitter was later dropped twice off the bowling of Shardul Thakur.

Wade, the only Australia wicket-keeper to score a fifty in T20Is, delivered some lusty blows on his way to his highest-ever T20I score before he perished in the penultimate over, LBW to Thakur.

Maxwell’s luck finally disappeared on the first ball of the final over, as Natarajan cleaned up his stumps. That brought D’Arcy Short (seven) to the crease, who hit a two and a four before being run out by sub fielder Manish Pandey when trying to complete a two.

Australia managed 186/5 and in reply, India got off to a horrid start. Rahul departed with just the second ball of the innings as Maxwell had the India opener caught at long-on by Smith. In Maxwell’s next over, the Maxwell-Smith combination almost paid off again but the latter dropped the India skipper on nine, leaving the hosts wondering whether it would be a costly mistake.

Andrew Tye then put down a Kohli caught-and-bowled chance just two overs later. Australia were made to pay as Kohli and Dhawan picked off the boundaries to reach 55/1 at the end of the Powerplay, but Swepson came into the attack and struck to remove Dhawan (28) in his second over, as Daniel Sams fumbled but managed to hold on to take a good catch in the deep.

Kohli soon went to his seventh fifty against Australia in T20Is – the most fifty-plus scores a player has recorded against one team in the format.

In another eventful Swepson over, Sanju Samson (10) punched a low full toss to the hands of Smith at long-on and two balls later, Kohli sent one that looked to be going over Smith’s head – only for the Australian to produce a magical piece of fielding as he leapt over the ropes, tossing the ball back into play. Kohli ended up with just three runs instead of six for his effort and, before the over was out, Swepson trapped Shreyas Iyer in front for a golden duck. His 3/23 were his best international figures to date.

At 100/4 from 13 overs, the pendulum appeared to swing in the favour of the home team but Kohli hit back-to-back sixes off Sams, and Pandya produced a remarkable shot to finish a big 16th over to keep the tourists in the hunt. Pandya then struck a four and punched a six straight down the ground off Tye but with the home side under pressure, Adam Zampa returned for the 18th over to remove the dangerous finisher, who mistimed it to Finch at short third man.

Zampa almost removed Kohli with the last ball of the 18th, but the next over, Kohli found Sams running in from the cover-point boundary to take an excellent catch off the bowling of Tye.

India were left with a bit too much to do in the final over as Sean Abbott had Sundar caught by Tye and although Thakur cleared the fence, India could only reach 174/7 in reply, ending an entertaining series.

The two teams meet again in the first Test on Thursday, 17 December in Adelaide.
