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
England aren't that great. They'll get mauled in ashes
 
Pretty sure they will -- the thing is Aussies ain't that good neither, but luckily for them their bowling with Hazelwood & Cummins and to some extent Starc is still gonna be way too hot for the English
Aussies are good once they fix their rubbish opening combo.

Renshaw and kellaway are needed. Their ego is persisting with Khawaja, Labu and Konstas for some unexplained reason

This is a poor ODI team - facing a whitewash against a noob Aussie batting line up. Of course ODIs are pointless so that shouldn't be a cause of concern, but don't be dumb enough to hide behind excuses like 'If Kuldeep had played, we would've won'

We have just won a champion trophy when we played last ODI before this series. That was an ODI tournament hosted by Pakistan where Pakistan finished bottom of the table.

Australia's next-gen on show in series-sealing two-wicket win​


Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly and Mitch Owen all had a big say in Australia's nervy two-wicket victory

Xavier Bartlett has spoiled Virat Kohli's Adelaide Oval swansong as Australia's next generation fired them to a series-clinching win against India in the second ODI.

Kohli was dismissed for his second straight duck of the series – the first time he has failed to score in consecutive ODI innings – as Bartlett did the early damage in India's 9-264 on Thursday.

Matt Short (74) and Cooper Connolly (61 not out from 53 balls) then produced career-best knocks as Mitch Owen (36 off 23) clobbered three sixes in his maiden ODI innings to see Australia home by two wickets with 22 balls to spare.

Short had ridden his luck to anchor Australia's chase after the early losses of openers Mitch Marsh (11) and Travis Head (28), but succumbed top edging Harshit Rana just when the chance beckoned to lead his side home.

But Connolly and Owen knocked off the bulk of the remaining 78 runs in no time to give Aussie fans a glimpse of the emerging talent selectors hope will be key to their build 2027 ODI World Cup.

Owen picked out long on with 19 still to win, and while Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj removed Bartlett and Mitchell Starc respectively, Connolly stood firm with Australia eight down to secure an unassailable 2-0 series lead.

The winning run was a wide in the 47th over as Australia broke a run of three straight ODI series losses.

India squandered several chances to make it a tighter affair with two catches going down off Short's flashing blade, while he also could have been run out early in his innings.

The second dropped catch was a soda at backward point that Mohammed Siraj almost didn't lay a hand on, with the bowler, Washington Sundar, sinking to his knees in frustration as the Victorian survived for a third time.

Matthew Renshaw helped Short steady the chase with a run-a-ball 30 but the spin of Axar Patel and Washington pegged Australia back through the middle as local boy Alex Carey (9) was also bowled attempting his favoured sweep shot.

With 133 required from 138 balls, Short needed a supporting hand and he found it in Connolly, who eased the pressure with a flurry of boundaries in their 59-run sixth wicket stand.

India found the going tough early on Thursday afternoon after being sent in on a pitch that had been under covers for most of the two days leading into the match.

Captain Shubman Gill (9) was the first fall as he picked out his Aussie counterpart Marsh at mid-off but the anticipation only rose from there as Kohli strode to the middle at No.3.

He was the man most of the Indian-dominated crowd of more than 40,000 had come to see, but his stay was again short-lived as Bartlett claimed his second wicket of the over.

The Queenslander's set up of the champion batter was something to behold, especially for a bowler playing just his fifth one-day international. After taking the first three deliveries away from the batter regarded by many as the best ever in the ODI format, Bartlett zeroed in on the stumps to trap Kohli plumb in front.

Kohli cut a dejected figure as he trudged from the one of his favourite cricket venues for what is likely the last time in international cricket, with his tally to five centuries at Adelaide Oval the most of any ground he's graced in an Indian shirt.

The 36-year-old, now playing solely 50-over internationals after retiring from Test and T20s, lifted his glove in acknowledgement to the crowd's ovation as he headed down the Adelaide Oval race one last time.

It was a battle to begin with for fellow veteran batter Rohit Sharma as he survived two reviews off Josh Hazlewood and played and misses regularly as he crept painstakingly to 30 runs from his first 62 balls faced.

Two sixes in an over from the medium pace of Owen got him going however as he and Shreyas Iyer clicked into gear with an important 118-run stand for the third wicket.

But just as they could have taken the game away from Australia, both coughed up their wickets, first Rohit (73) picking out fine leg off Starc (2-62) before Iyer (61) tried to switch Adam Zampa across the line and was bowled.

Zampa (4-60) then skidded a delivery into KL Rahul's stumps before having Axar Patel caught in the deep and Nitish Kumar Reddy stumped to leaving India's innings in disarray at 8-226 at the end of the 45th over.

Patel (44) tried to take on one of the longest boundaries in world cricket – straight at Adelaide Oval – and was superbly caught by Starc dancing around the long off rope, with the tall left-armer throwing the ball up to himself as his momentum carried him outside the field of play before stepping back inside to complete the catch.

Bartlett (3-39) added a third scalp prior to that as Washington Sundar clipped a full ball sweetly off his pads but straight to Hazlewood on the square leg boundary.

Hazlewood took two catches but remarkably no wickets, beating the bat 13 times to finish his 10-over spell with the impressive figures of 0-29 with two maidens and 43 dot balls.

Harshit Rana (24 not out) and Arshdeep Singh (13) swung lustily against Zampa and Starc to find the boundary five times in the final five overs, lifting the visitors from the brink of being bowled out to beyond 250.

The two sides travel to Sydney for the final ODI on Saturday before launching straight into five T20 internationals that will be crucial preparation ahead of February's T20 World Cup.

Is this your coping mechanism after getting your tashreef handed to you by the posters here today? :inti
He brings up Pakistan anytime a poster talks to him. Or he will call them Wannabee's.

He even called Ice Man and Atrues Wannabee's even though their actually Australian and British lol 😆 😂 🤣.

India is a strong team but when a weak point is brought up He gets defensive.

The irony is that despite posters demanding rohit and kohli to be removed for months, This guy had gone on a tangent even with his own peers like sachin fan 🤣🤣.

But today hes claiming he wants Kohli and rohit gone?

Now people are pointing out holes in the indian side and he's mad? Even though they are suggesting the same thing that the side is better with jaiswal in it 🤣🤣.
 
Kohli’s second duck in two games

He needs to do the decent thing and retire

Tilak Verma should replace him in the ODI XI. He can play a similar role to Kohli’s
 
@Devadwal @saimayubera Same Aus that Rizwan's Pak smashed is hammering Indians
Lol bilateral white ball series in big 2025 lolololol.

Bialteral white ball series are for experimenting and getting teams for tournaments.

The ICC ODI tournament that took place this year India won without losing a match. Rizwan's Pak did not even win a match and he has been kicked out of captaincy.
 
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.
And they will never ever play parchis like we do here in Asia.
 
@Devadwal yeh hai teri team? Lost to Australia schoolboys???

@Devadwal what is the point of giving so much AAqar and then losing like this? Both matches Australia's bench boys banged your bowlers and destroyed your batters!!
Look at this guy enjoying some useless white ball bilateral lol.

He was crying so much during the Asia Cup.

The two main tournaments of the year India won undefeated lol.
 
Is this your coping mechanism after getting your ****** handed to you by the posters here today? :inti
The "posters" are coping and coping so bad after a year of so much failures that they take joy in some meaningless bilateral ODI series.

They have been waiting in frustration this entire year as India won the CT and the AC and drew the ATT while their team kept losing everything in white ball and red ball and now venting out their frustrations on this.

If I were a Pak fan I would be more worried about how Muthuswamy and Harmer ripped Pakistan a new one at home today.
 
Kohli retired from the wrong format. I’d have liked if he kept himself available for tests. I see no point him playing ODIs, I think he’s already widely regarded greatest ODI cricketer.

No he is not good in any format. In Tests he was gone 4 years back. Ruined India's transition by overstaying.
 
Guys like @Devadwal promote Parchis to play for Pakistan but won’t return the favour for their own country.

This is Karma. I blame Devadwal for India’s loss.
You promote parchi like Tulla Haris, Usman Khan, Asif Ali ,fixer Sharjeel khan etc

I don't even support Kohli/ Rohit although I'm biggest supporter of 👑

Don't even compare jaiswal/ Abhishek/ Tilak with your tullebaaz Saim/ Haris/ Agha etc

:klopp :kp

Is that a big deal these days? Were you this worried when New Zealand whitewashed India at home? :murali :inti

Yeah. And that's why they fixed those mistakes and drew 2-2 in England.

Unlike Pak who after being whitewashed by Bangladesh at home got whitewashed in SA (again!) and couldn't win home series vs WI and SA.
 
Maharaj didn't even play the first test lol THey played three rookies. He would have been all over you in the first testt had he played. Their test captain Bavuma is not even available.
Bavuma is a plumber on pitches like these, useless batsman. You talk like he is the second coming of Babar. We also missed Naseem Shah.
 
We have team for South Africa Conditions as well. Remembered we have won ODI and T20 series recently in South Africa as well. :kp
I never worry much about these bilateral series

But thing is our bowling looks a bit light in pace friendly pitches. Also Rohit & Kohli must be out
 
India and even Australia are experimenting with the squads. This is like trying out combinations, all-rounders, trying people in different positions. So I am happy that we are experimenting with the squad now with a new captain. That is great thanks giving gift cc @The Bald Eagle
