Australia [258/0] beat India [255] by 10 wickets in the first ODI, lead series 1-0

[Titan24]

Dude. at wankhede you can just swing through the line regardless of the length. Did you see how Kuldeep smashed starc straight down the ground. There is nothing like good length here against good striking batsmen.

There is always a good length irrespective of where you play. Good lengths going to the boundaries, there is nothing you can do about them but atleast you wont go at 8-9 runs per over. Bowling half volleys and short balls is just poor stuff from bowlers.

 

[cricketjoshila]

We have picked a trundler just because he can use the long handle. What do you expect

TM has the likes of Vikram Rathore. The guy wqs sacked as selector, than NCA didnt appoint him as coach due to conflict of interest and now he is batting coach ahead of the likes of Trott, Amre etc.

 

[jnaveen1980]

His pace is way down

Its okay let him eased his way back in. This is an inconsequential series. India will lose all three by the look of it

 

[Titan24]

Better lengths from Bumrah in this over.

 

[praveen]

Wow getting quite a bashing here. Not at all confident about Thakur, must have played Saini. Bigger problem with top 3, all of them play too slow and have similar game play. Badly need a Sehwag style slam bang opener. Prithvi Shaw showed promise and could be the answer.

lol Length balls are the ones that are easy to target when you are in attacking mode.

INdia has to draft in guys like Agarwal, Shaw, Gill. Let Rahul Keep. This Pant is unreliable. Iyer is suspect against pace. There is no pandya.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Enjoying this.

Team management is notoriously nepotistic.

Else Thakur doesnt find a place.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli has no interest in building a strong batting unit. He keeps the top 4, mixes and matces for no.5,6,7 every few months.

 

[Mean&Green]

Kuldeep hasn’t been able to perform against a single quality opposition since that last Australia series till now yet he’s still preferred over chahal is beyond me. Chahal has the best average after Bumrah in 2019 ok if not in t20s he definitely has to be ahead of kuldeep in Odis

 

[jnaveen1980]

How can you allow 3 at the wankhede. OH my god INdian fielding has gone to dogs.

 

[cricketjoshila]

INdia has to draft in guys like Agarwal, Shaw, Gill. Let Rahul Keep. This Pant is unreliable. Iyer is suspect against pace. There is no pandya.

Rahul has to open.
Kohli 3
Gill 4
Pandey 5
Pant 6
Pandya/Jadeja 7
Shami
Kuldeep
Saini
Bumrah

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kuldeep hasn’t been able to perform against a single quality opposition since that last Australia series till now yet he’s still preferred over chahal is beyond me. Chahal has the best average after Bumrah in 2019 ok if not in t20s he definitely has to be ahead of kuldeep in Odis

Kuldeep is the best bowler between them. Especially with wet ball CHahal is worse than how Yasir was in Australia. He has to learn to bowl with wet ball. Having said that i think they should play both. Jadeaja is not better than either of them.

 

[Varun]

Should just write this game off and win the other two.

Same thing happened in Aus. We were 4/3 in the first game and couldn't chase 280-odd, then won the next two games to win the series 2-1.

Where is the next game?

 

[cricketjoshila]

How can you allow 3 at the wankhede. OH my god INdian fielding has gone to dogs.

Huh? Sridhar is the best in the world according to MSK prasad and co. Who retained him over Jonty Rhodes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit has to bring his Australian kiling mode.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looking at the aussie side they are a bit like INdia lol Knock the top 3 or 4 out they have Carey, Turner, Agar all unreliable.

 

[Mean&Green]

That team was very weak plus finch was having Bhuvneshwar problems he was in the worst form of his life everything is very opposite at the moment this Aussie side looks very strong compared to this Indian team since India’s middle is very weak and without pandya no 5th bowling option plus this Australian bowling attack is quite severe it’ll be hard to win the series best result maybe 2-1 Australia.

 

[Mean&Green]

Looking at the aussie side they are a bit like INdia lol Knock the top 3 or 4 out they have Carey, Turner, Agar all unreliable.

Carey is a very elegant player he’s no hack like Rishabh Pant

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Bhuvi was the one who kept on getting the wicket of Finch in the one dayer with incoming delivery. He could never figure it out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Carey is a very elegant player he’s no hack like Rishabh Pant

But they are not reliable. I don't think this is a good unit. They rely on top 4.

 

[Mean&Green]

It’s hialeious how kuldeep brings out his magical delivery against Babar Azam every time both the balls he’s bowled him I’ve never seen him bowl that ball to any other batsman ever it’s quite funny actuallt

 

[Mean&Green]

But they are not reliable. I don't think this is a good unit. They rely on top 4.

Maxwell instead of agar and it’s a very good unit agars spin is as good as maxwell tbh it’s just India made him look like warne today he’s mediocre as they come

 

[jnaveen1980]

It’s hialeious how kuldeep brings out his magical delivery against Babar Azam every time both the balls he’s bowled him I’ve never seen him bowl that ball to any other batsman ever it’s quite funny actuallt

He has bamboozled every top class batsman. Kane williamson had no clue. Root got cleaned up by a beauty in the bilateral.

 

[Mean&Green]

Well I haven’t seen that kuldeep for over a year now he’s sorry to say but been figured out

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well I haven’t seen that kuldeep for over a year now he’s sorry to say but been figured out

In this very match Finch was struggling to pick him several times. Warner was indecisive.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian fielding is utterly horrible.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Since jaddu says it hits the stumps i say it will miss the stumps. He sucks at reviews

 

[jnaveen1980]

hahah Jaddu and his review. He has 0% success review of his own bowling.

 

[Mean&Green]

In this very match Finch was struggling to pick him several times. Warner was indecisive.

Yet they are 140-0 I would love be struggling like that every game than

 

[MenInG]

India much better team than today - allowed an off day.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

does anyone found Ravindra jadeja changed his action in some of his deliveries or it just mee?
kinda weird left hand narine like.
also i feel he is chucking in those deliveries with weird action
anyonee??

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yet they are 140-0 I would love be struggling like that every game than

Dude 5 overs 21 runs. Once again beaten . Created chance very first ball. Iyer was too lazy.

 

[Mean&Green]

Dude 5 overs 21 runs. Once again beaten . Created chance very first ball. Iyer was too lazy.

Yeah he’s bowling okish but he’s the main strike weapon he hasn’t picked up any wickets now regardless of the situation don’t say he needs more runs and pressure to work with if you are good enough you make those wickets yourself

 

[Mean&Green]

I’m done lmfaooooo kohli is begging the umpire

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yeah he’s bowling okish but he’s the main strike weapon he hasn’t picked up any wickets now regardless of the situation don’t say he needs more runs and pressure to work with if you are good enough you make those wickets yourself

He created a chance. Iyer didn't react well. You have to see how difficult to bowl on this wicket udner lightts. This appeal was so close. Let us see what the replay shows.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Yeah he’s bowling okish but he’s the main strike weapon he hasn’t picked up any wickets now regardless of the situation don’t say he needs more runs and pressure to work with if you are good enough you make those wickets yourself

Honestly telling you, you must cut down your love for Chahal. We Indians ourselves don't love Chahal as much as you do.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a stunner from Jaddu. That is the reason why he is in the squad.

 

[Mean&Green]

That’s literally the only thing jadeja offers this indian team saves some runs in the field other than that I remember 5 years ago his balls would grip and rake the off pole out but that’s all gone too now it’s just like keeping shadab in the team cause he can dive and save some fours and look cool

 

[RainStopsPlay]

I don't care how pacers thrive in Virat's captaincy, but the spinners do nothing of note. The same Chahals and Kuldeeps look threatening when Thala guides them behind the stumps. And this clown's field placings for spinners is laugh-worthy. What is Bumrah, Shami and Iyer doing inside the circle when spinners are bowling? When does this Kohli's captaincy torture end for us?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jadeja has changed his bowling style or what. HE is darting like Krunal pandya these days

 

[jagatk]

Yeah he’s bowling okish but he’s the main strike weapon he hasn’t picked up any wickets now regardless of the situation don’t say he needs more runs and pressure to work with if you are good enough you make those wickets yourself

He should have had a wicket 1st ball but iyer is a lazy coward, last over he could have had an lbw. Cricket is a team sport 1 guy can't magically fix things especially if fielders refuse to do their job.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli will be happy with FInch form lol his IPL opener

 

[Mean&Green]

Honestly telling you, you must cut down your love for Chahal. We Indians ourselves don't love Chahal as much as you do.

Yeah I bet you’re loving kuldeep getting tonked by Warner and finch

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Jadeja has changed his bowling style or what. HE is darting like Krunal pandya these days

Boundary?

 

[RainStopsPlay]

He should have had a wicket 1st ball but iyer is a lazy coward, last over he could have had an lbw. Cricket is a team sport 1 guy can't magically fix things especially if fielders refuse to do their job.

Iyer is an abysmal fielder. He was rightly dropped after his first SA tour for his abysmal fielding. And the ***** didn't learn a thing or two despite passing 2 years. I'd have Manish Pandey over these Iyers and Pants any day.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Well I haven’t seen that kuldeep for over a year now he’s sorry to say but been figured out

He is the only one who is holding the batsmen.

He is not some mystery bowler to be found out. He is classical wrist spinner.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Yeah I bet you’re loving kuldeep getting tonked by Warner and finch

I don't care about Kuldeep either if he's not winning matches for India. These bowlers are rightly put in place today by Aus batsmen.

 

[cricketjoshila]

India much better team than today - allowed an off day.

If this team management keeps making these kind of team selections, off days will be frequent.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yeah I bet you’re loving kuldeep getting tonked by Warner and finch

Kuldeep has got 99 wickets in 58 matches with an ER of 4.28 lol Why do you think he sucks. He is the best limited over spinner in the world. Even in ICC ranking Kuldeep is ahead of Chahal.

 

[Mean&Green]

I don't care how pacers thrive in Virat's captaincy, but the spinners do nothing of note. The same Chahals and Kuldeeps look threatening when Thala guides them behind the stumps. And this clown's field placings for spinners is laugh-worthy. What is Bumrah, Shami and Iyer doing inside the circle when spinners are bowling? When does this Kohli's captaincy torture end for us?

I’ve always said this kohlis success was hidden behind dhoni especially the spinners. DRS as well dhoni was the ghost Captain. Dhoni is once in a lifetime kohinoor diamond. Kohli doesn’t have that effect it’s your either do or don’t kohli doesn’t. But rohit On the other hand he’s calm and collective and I think though he might not be a kohinoor like dhoni but he’ll still be 10x better than kohli in Captaincy.

 

[therealAB]

Looking at the aussie side they are a bit like INdia lol Knock the top 3 or 4 out they have Carey, Turner, Agar all unreliable.

Agree with Turner, Agar but Carey is class, had a brilliant WC

 

[therealAB]

But they are not reliable. I don't think this is a good unit. They rely on top 4.

The thing with Smith is that he can go into not-get-out mode and steady if struggling. He is not good chasing high scores/flat pitches but he is as good as anybody in world cricket at steadying

 

[Mean&Green]

Kuldeep has got 99 wickets in 58 matches with an ER of 4.28 lol Why do you think he sucks. He is the best limited over spinner in the world. Even in ICC ranking Kuldeep is ahead of Chahal.

He’s still stuck on 99 damn I hope he gets his hundredth today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't care about Kuldeep either if he's not winning matches for India. These bowlers are rightly put in place today by Aus batsmen.

Today i will cut some slack. There are certain grounds in India where you must make par score. Not 250 on a 350 pitch. India chased down 3. Remember the 2013 series where both teams scored 350 for run. India chased down 359 runs with 9 wickets in hand and 6.1 overs to spare

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...ralia-2nd-odi-australia-tour-of-india-2013-14

 

[JaDed]

Aus showing who is the boss, can’t believe they sent their first team for a bilateral

 

[therealAB]

Almost all aussies are good fielders. Handscomb is another terrific fielder

Fielding is really prioritized in junior/club cricket here. When I played district a 1:30 session would be half fielding

 

[jnaveen1980]

Aus showing who is the boss, can’t believe they sent their first team for a bilateral

Both teams have vulnerabilities. They both rely on top order.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Shardul "Imran Sobers Kallis" Thakur is back.

 

[Mean&Green]

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...ralia-2nd-odi-australia-tour-of-india-2013-14

Well Australia chased down the same score last year in Mohali Ashton turner odi

 

[RainStopsPlay]

I’ve always said this kohlis success was hidden behind dhoni especially the spinners. DRS as well dhoni was the ghost Captain. Dhoni is once in a lifetime kohinoor diamond. Kohli doesn’t have that effect it’s your either do or don’t kohli doesn’t. But rohit On the other hand he’s calm and collective and I think though he might not be a kohinoor like dhoni but he’ll still be 10x better than kohli in Captaincy.

And our Indian fans don't want the diamond in the team 'cause the china-made-cheap-imitation Pant is setting the stage on fire in LOIs ever since he took over. Heck! The aging blindfolded Dhoni on his last legs can win more matches for India than this hoic-master! And see how the same spinners turn into world-beaters when Dhoni guides them from behind the stumps. I miss Dhoni for a pure legendary genius he's! I'll reserve my judgment on Rohit's captaincy until he wins a series against a top side. But for now even KL Rahul is a better option for LOI captain over this clown!

 

[Mean&Green]

Shardul "Imran Sobers Kallis" Thakur is back.

Lol thakur ji was doing zulm on poor Sri Lankan’s than like usual the hero comes and kills thakur in the end like in indian movies which here is Australia

 

[praveen]

INdia has to draft in guys like Agarwal, Shaw, Gill. Let Rahul Keep. This Pant is unreliable. Iyer is suspect against pace. There is no pandya.

I am done with Pant as well, might get a fifty on his best day which is never enough. KL is too slow and his runs don’t make any impact in odis. Will probably give more chances to Iyer as he looks like a guy who can play long innings. Time to bring in the next set of players. Haven’t won any silverware despite such a long list of talent in waiting and only the selection and management are to blame.

 

[Titan24]

lol Length balls are the ones that are easy to target when you are in attacking mode.

Lol! So they are bowling half volleys and stomach and chest height short balls because Aussies are in attacking mode?

I dont know how what exactly are you arguing about. It was poor bowling today from India and even Indian commies said that.

 

[Mean&Green]

The luckiest thing for India is warner isn’t even at his destructive best yet he’s been quite calm since his return he doesn’t attack as much otherwise the sixes count would have been a lot more

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well Australia chased down the same score last year in Mohali Ashton turner odi

That was a total fluke innings. Also under lights it will be even harder to defend. So you need big total.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rajkot another run fest there.

 

[Mean&Green]

That was a total fluke innings. Also under lights it will be even harder to defend. So you need big total.

Yeah it was kind of a fluke but Australia chasing it down wasn’t a fluke against India any score is chaseable if my boy thakur is in the side I just realized how short this guy is he’s even shorter than kohli damn how’d he make it to the indian team as a fast bowler that’s crazy

 

[jnaveen1980]

If India bats second at Rajkot i back them to chase down any total Aussies put up.

 

[Usman Chadda]

One of them should retire and let Labuschagne have a go

 

[Mean&Green]

Is thakur seriously gonna stare down warner after bowling a 125 kph harmless bumper

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is thakur seriously gonna stare down warner after bowling a 125 kph harmless bumper

come on it is 130 lol don't be mean

 

[Mean&Green]

All hell will break loose if India lose this by 10 wickets all the masala news channels will be after them

 

[dhump]

Wow, I didn't expect this is rolling over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wow, I didn't expect this is rolling over.

Even after 255 and the thought of having Thakur and Jaddu in the line up?

 

[octavian]

What is kohli waiting for? Why not bring the strike bowler back?

 

[dhump]

Even after 255 and the thought of having Thakur and Jaddu in the line up?

India losing at home probably by 10 wickets is quite shocking.

 

[Hyperion66]

We played some real bad cricket today. Entire team underperformed, this is just unacceptable from a top team. There is no defending this pathetic show. Just hope we come back all guns blazing the next match.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Lol thakur ji was doing zulm on poor Sri Lankan’s than like usual the hero comes and kills thakur in the end like in indian movies which here is Australia

lol. Seriously though. How is a dud cannon fodder like him gets into Indian team. Saini should have played.

Rahul needs to get lost from odi. wastrel Tamil quota iyer should never play cricket again until he learns to play the short ball

 

[cricketjoshila]

Lol thakur ji was doing zulm on poor Sri Lankan’s than like usual the hero comes and kills thakur in the end like in indian movies which here is Australia

If this means Thakur wont play another match for India, i will support pakistan team in all matches except againist India for 6 months.
