Australia (265/8) defeat India (264/9) by 2 wickets to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series

[Hellion]

Head doing fine atm....Looks like he is mood today

Mood not enough to score.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

We should win this. Not much batting left.

 

[mominsaigol]

Moving very well Matt Renshaw. Can be a good option for AUS moving forward. Quite experienced now too.

Tuned in to watch Travis head but India bowled beautifully to him

He's very good(even though he got bowled eventually). Needs to come into the test side now.

Will only move up from here. We have are curating a very strong team for the future. But im worried about my Papi Head now.

End of an Era I suppose

 

[mominsaigol]

We should win this. Not much batting left.

Possibly. At international, Connelly and Owned have been walking wickets so far.

I back Owen. I despise connelly. Not international level, the sooner we realise it, the better.

 

[BouncerGuy]

3rd ODI fifty for Matthew Short!

 

[mominsaigol]

@Rana I gotta give credit to you.

Marsh, Mattew Short have improved by miles.

Once Green returns the top 4 look jacked up.

This is a scary scary top 4 for odi and t20.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Carey gone!

Washington Sundar should be a sureshot selection in both the longer formats.

 

[mominsaigol]

I hope connelly recent run in franchise helps today. But I think India has won this match.

 

[mominsaigol]

1) Travis Head
2) Mitch Marsh
3) Mattew short
4) Renshaw
5) Josh Inglis
6) Cameron Green
7) Tim David/ Alex Carey

^^ This should be Aus's odi batting lineup going forward. @Rana @jeeteshssaxena

In tests

1) Kellaway
2) Renshaw
3) Green
4) Steve Smith
5) Head
6) Webster
7) Carey

In t20

1) Head
2) Marsh
3) Inglis
4) Short
5) Green
6) Tim David
7) Owen

I think Owen is talented but keep him in t20 for now. He is a future no 3 though but ue has to wait until Head and Marsh Expire.

 

[Blackbradman]

Washington Sundar to Matthew Short, no run, dropped! Short looks to play a cross-batted drive through the covers after backing away a bit and outside-halves it to backward point. Straight to Siraj and he puts it down. Another reprieve for Short

 

[globetrotter]

That was not a very good innings in the context.

But considwring no practice matches, its a good knock.... what about Gill he failed in both matches

 

[Ahmed216]

That was a bullet cover drive from Connoly. Hardest hit I've seen in a while in that direction. Fielder could barely move a couple of steps and it went whistling past him.
Playing well the young gun

 

[Devadwal]

how we are dropping so many catches in last few months? I'm not watching right now so don't know it was easy or tough catch

 

[Mas-LFC]

Come on Australia!

 

[mominsaigol]

Connelly batting well, ig he really did improve in franchise

 

[mominsaigol]

Game is 55-45 atm.

55 for Aus

 

[mominsaigol]

How do aussie players improve in such a short span of time? Connelly was a walking wicket a few months back?

Now he's a proper batsmen. Some of these shots are unbelievable

 

[harshjoshi87]

Connolly was recently in Australia A team playing in India. Seems a decent batsman.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Owen is the new Andrew Symonds. Need to get him out if we want to keep the series alive.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Parchi Harshit getting smashed all over the place, did well with the bat though.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Owen owning Harshit..

 

[Rana]

Harshit is clearly a pathetic bowler.

 

[mominsaigol]

Connolly was recently in Australia A team playing in India. Seems a decent batsman.

He is a decent batsmen now. But bro I've seen this trend a dozen times.

Green use to be a certified tulla and months later he has the makings of an atg batsmen. He isnt their yet obviously, but he is a solid batsmen now.

Similarly connelly was bloody useless and now he's a solid batsmen?

Then Marsh was badly out of form but came back in recent times with form even better then his 2023 counterpart?

How do all these guys improve so quickly? At such a rapid pace? Not every aussie improves but a majority do.

Even Steve smith started out as a tail ender bowler

 

[harshjoshi87]

Match is gone, only a miracle & Siraj can win this match for us.

Gill flop ftb as well flop captain.

Looks like even Owen is ready now .

These guys improve extremely quickly lol

Game is 55-45 atm.

55 for Aus

Game is now 65-35 for aus

 

[harshjoshi87]

Looks like even Owen is ready now .

These guys improve extremely quickly lol

Australia have the replacements ready

 

[mominsaigol]

We have won 2-0 now. Game is over.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Mitch Owen treating Rana like the low-quality trundler that he is

Surprised they didn't give the ball to Siraj.

 

[mominsaigol]

Match is gone, only a miracle & Siraj can win this match for us.

Gill flop ftb as well flop captain.

Siraj has only ever displayed that tendency in test cricket where he's genuinely gotten india out a rut.

But this also ignores the fact that excluding the 5th test vs England, hes always hand bumrah by his side.

Dont think he can do anything here.

 

[mominsaigol]

Mitch Owen treating Rana like the low-quality trundler that he is

Bro what's with this pfp . Scared the crap out of me

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Bro what's with this pfp . Scared the crap out of me

Something from one of my all-time favorite films Deep Red

 

[Ahmed216]

This is quiet a sight. All 3 pacers struggling with cramps at the same time

 

[mominsaigol]

I've noticed unlike India, Australia doesn't really produce generational talent. They just know how to turn ordinary talent into generational talents.

While in india you are either born special or you're not. Theirs no in-between.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Haha what a shower of.

Can’t drag enthusiasm for this, but don’t like losing.

 

[mominsaigol]

I hope everyone follows in my footsteps and becomes an aussie citizen

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Mitch Owen looks like one heck of a talent for white-ball.

 

[mominsaigol]

80-20 Aus now

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

India don't have to worry about their fast-bowlers finishing their overs.

The match will be over long before that.

 

[mominsaigol]

Connelly clearly benefitted from India A tour

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Lol indian bowling is being taken to cleaners vs aus new players same rauf was unplayable in australian conditions unless india stop this obsession with spinners like axar they will continue to get humiliated overseas

 

[Ahmed216]

Rohit Sharma 75 off 98 balls. Just drop him.
That's clearly a selfish knock from him. In older days he would have scored at least 100 in 98 balls

 

[Ahmed216]

Connoly power and timing

 

[Mas-LFC]

Aussie Aussie Aussie

 

[Rana]

Connoly was available in last year's PSL draft. No one picked him LOL

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol indian bowling is being taken to cleaners vs aus new players same rauf was unplayable in australian conditions unless india stop this obsession with spinners like axar they will continue to get humiliated overseas

Different aussie side.

That side was expiring, An expired Steve smith, JFM, A mattew short who was just adjusting to odi and hadnt gotten their, No Head, No Marsh, and Green, None of their generational guns either.

Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins are good bit no one can defend 148 in this era regardless of the bowlers unless it happens to be a rare once in a blue moon moment

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@Devadwal @saimayubera Same Aus that Rizwan's Pak smashed is hammering Indians

 

[mominsaigol]

Connoly was available in last year's PSL draft. No one picked him LOL

He improved, with connelly and Owen now improving.

Does Australia have anyone in their batting lineup thats worse then Ba/Riz/Abdullah/ Imam/Chacha/Nawaz or any of the other rubbish we carry?

 

[Devadwal]

Lol indian bowling is being taken to cleaners vs aus new players same rauf was unplayable in australian conditions unless india stop this obsession with spinners like axar they will continue to get humiliated overseas

India have won test series/ ODI series/ Tri series in australia. First win a test which you haven't won since 1995.

This is just farewell series for Rohit - Kohli . Australia is playing with full strength barring Cummins where they played with Pakistan with second string team.

India is missing BUMRAH, Kuldeep, Hardik - Three pillars of Indian cricket team

We are fine with this series results as when we play next ODI series with Jaiswal, Abhishek we will demolish every team like champion trophy.

Let's wait for T20 series to start where we will show Australia who is the Boss

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This Cooper Connolly looks like a member of a 2000's boy band

Same Australia? Your cricketing IQ need to be updates

Bro still by no means that was a smalll bowling performance pak bowlers really exploited the conditions better than what indian are doing atm

 

[harshjoshi87]

A coach with ego & a hopeless captain taking down the #1 ranked ODI team.

Criminal not to play Kuldeep & Prasidh.

 

[Devadwal]

Bro still by no means that was a smalll bowling performance pak bowlers really exploited the conditions better than what indian are doing atm

What didn't Pakistan exploited the conditions in champion trophy at home or in australia whenever they tour for test SERIES ?

 

[Rana]

He improved, with connelly and Owen now improving.

Does Australia have anyone in their batting lineup thats worse then Ba/Riz/Abdullah/ Imam/Chacha/Nawaz or any of the other rubbish we carry?

No, ive never seen Australia carry besharams in white ball format. Their commentators are quite brutal against players who are not playing hard for the team. Even guyswith limited strenghts like Renshaw, Hardie, Phillipe etc will not shut up shop to just play yourself in or casually let the run rate drift away.

 

[mominsaigol]

Bro still by no means that was a smalll bowling performance pak bowlers really exploited the conditions better than what indian are doing atm

Pakistan bowled better then India in Australia i agree. Infact they also ironically bowled better then India(excluding Bumrah) when they toured Australia in Test.

That doesn't change the fact that the team india is facing here and the ine they faced in BGT is miles superior and would mollywop Pakistan into next week.

Pakistan faced a much weaker Australian side. You have to admit that.

I dont like india and many indian posters excluding a few real ones that I cherish and respect, but I have to be honest and unbiased.

You are crazy if you think Pakistan even with the same team is beating this current version of Australia in any format.

 

[mominsaigol]

Owen departs but too little too late. 17 runs left and connely is still their

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Bro still by no means that was a smalll bowling performance pak bowlers really exploited the conditions better than what indian are doing atm

Indians are useless bowlers outside of spin graveyards

 

[Devadwal]

Had we played Kuldeep it would have easy win for us

Ya bro great points no disagreement here

 

[mominsaigol]

Had we played Kuldeep it would have easy win for us

Yeah cause kuldeep is a casanova in Australia where pitch doesn't aid spinners. Such comments need to be nuked tbh.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Had we played Kuldeep it would have easy win for us

So who is to be blamed for not playing kuldeep and selecting axar for his batting?

 

[Devadwal]

Yeah cause kuldeep is a casanova in Australia where pitch doesn't aid spinners. Such comments need to be nuked tbh.

Kuldeep doesn't need any pitch help to takes the wickets

 

[Devadwal]

So who is to be blamed for not playing kuldeep and selecting axar for his batting?

Do I blamed Australia or any others? We are just building a team for 2027 World Cup.

It's a process which Pakistan fans don't know.

 

[Devadwal]

Indians are useless bowlers outside of spin graveyards

Your bowlers can't even win at home forget about Away

 

[mominsaigol]

Kuldeep doesn't need any pitch help to takes the wickets

Anyone can take wickets on any den. I'm saying he wouldn't be as effective here as you are making it seem.

You made similar comments about jadeja and ashwin in bgt and they died a horrible death.

England(Post 2022 era) and Australia aren't places where spinners are particularly effective.

Even Warne and Murli wouldnt be as effective. They'd be economical with 1-2 wickets at best.

Warne in this era. Not one ball era. Odi was a different beast back then

 

[mominsaigol]

One more wicket falls. Lol @harshjoshi87 what are the chances of an England 5th test repeat?

 

[Devadwal]

Lol they are winning by small margin without Bumrah, Kuldeep , jaiswal , Pandya so think how bad they would have loose if had they played.

 

[mominsaigol]

Guys this isn't a Pakistan thread. Can we please stop derailing and just focus on Australia and India for once, I want one match thread where no one fights, including myself.

 

[sweep_shot]

India are losing. Woo hoo!

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol they are winning by small margin without Bumrah, Kuldeep , jaiswal , Pandya so think how bad they would have loose if had they played.

Aus doesnt have Green, Cummins, Inglis and a few of their other batters either.

Also they aren't winning by a small margin. They destroyed india and only took a risk at the end. The match however before 7 wickets fell was already a foregone conclusion.

Short, Owen and connelly sealed the game long before the 7th wicket.

That isn't winning by the barest of margins.

Impact of Bumrah, Hardik and Kuldeep is way more than any missing Australian players.

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol, now this is scary . 5th test repeat

 

[hamzie]

what are they doing

 

[Devadwal]

They are winning by two wickets and you think it's not a small margin win ? Lol

 

[Azaad]

India just has poor bowlers outside the obvious ones - Bumrah, Kuldeep & may be Varun C (who would be super economical in all white ball cricket). And not just for ODIs but also for Tests outside the subcontinent.

Still can't fathom how England managed to lose twice to this lot when Bumrah was on the bench

 

[sweep_shot]

Scores are level.

 

[mominsaigol]

They are winning by two wickets and you think it's not a small margin win ? Lol

Tbf they botched it at the absolute end. They were crusing with a 5 wicket win prior to the end botch.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Australia wants to loose but they are struggling... LOL
