What's new

Australia [288/5] beat India [254/9] by 34 runs in the first ODI, take 1-0 series lead

Jhye looks a decent bowler. There was another Richardson in Aussie team not too long ago. Not sure if he's still in the plans
 
Top order wrecked by Australia's second string bowlers.

This is best Indian XI - Bumrah vs experimental new look Australia. However, for some Indians here, this is a joke match for fun and laughter. But we know who's taking this match seriously looking at the XIs.
Man, these Indians never cease to amaze me.

This is a very serious match.And the most important thing is to eliminate the passengers before wc.We need to lose the battle to have a chance of winning the war.
 
This is the best thing that happens o this team Top order collapsing. Finally they will realize what a pos Dhoni is

So you are losing this match purposefully to expose passengers in your side? :ma
 
Who are these bowlers, where are the Aussie WC bowlers? Uncle Siddle is bowling, how is he in the WC plans? :facepalm:

A strategy worthy of Bonaparte, the victory at Austerlitz :)
 
rayudu, dhoni, kedar, karthik - they will cost India many matches.
Kohli values personal relationships than team prospects.

We are hoping that the Aussies do the job for us.

There is a difference between "us" who are the Indian fans, and the Indian selectors.
 
Has anyone seen Anmolpreet Singh batting? Two outstanding Sikh kid playing for Punjab now, Manpreet was very good as well, but couldn't make it.
 
People who r rejoicing over the top order collapse of India, which they feel will expose the inept middle order, must realise that it's never gonna happen. MSD supporters will cover his behind by stating that even the top order failed, so why blame MSD alone?

This shouldn't happen only in this match,but also throughout the series and starting in NZ.Then they will be forced.
 
What happened to Dhoni, he used to be a power hitter when he had those long hairs back in the days.
 
India ODI team so top heavy. Get them top three out within 100 or 150 runs, defending 270-300 you have more than 90% chance

Unfortunately you could be right, I hope not. There is no other way we can get the better players (the youngsters) into the team.
 
It's expected of posters to downplay the importance of a game/format when they are losing.

Fact of the matter is, all ODIs till the WC are extremely significant. All teams are looking for that momentum and the perfect combination. If India loses this game, it should be a cause of concern.
 
Looks like MS has taken my comment on being in middle too seriously.
 
We have an excuse ready if we lose this match/series to Australia D side. Our captain and coach can blame Pandya, Rahul and Karan Johar for disturbing the team combination and bringing the morale of the team down. This has affected some of our fans too. They don't know how to react and now taking these matches as fun and laughter. :misbah

They all are superstars until they actually play. Once they do, they get exposed like Rahul :shezzy2
 
Dhoni 5 of 27.The legend of dhongi baba.
Sharm kar buddha.This is the guy that kicked out seniors saying we are all doing national duty.Sharm kar.
Lost all respect for this hypocrite.Retire and save us.
 
Siddle Uncle is still far better bowler than some of the bowlers from other teams. He is still bowling around 140k.
 
Lyon is playing too, the Aussies are taking the mickey here :)))

Siddle was great in BBL and was selected. In the last year Aus took the least number of wickets through spin. According to Warne, Lyon and Zampa are going to WC
 
Dhoni has served his country well, all respect to him. But now it is time for him to pass on the baton to Pant.
 
Cricket without a solid strong Australia side would be too desi orietend. I want Aus to be back where they used to be. But still England will win the World Cup 19.
 
Genuine question: If current MSD can be an integral part of the team, y should the likes of Yuvi/Bhajji be discarded? They at least showed the intent?
 
Pandeya's season over or WC over? This combination won't work in WC, and if JB replaces BK, nothing in tail either.
 
Take that free hit away from Rohit and he has the same SR as Dhoni. Can't even get Lyon away

Dhoni will perform in serious matches like World Cup. Don't take this performance to your heart because its just fun and laughter. :inti

The obvious answer is that Dhoni should not be in the team. It will be a nightmare if he plays in the WC.

Pandya will definitely be back by the WC. The CoA aren't that stupid.

But still India just has to rely on the top 3 and Bumrah firing each match in the knockouts. That's the only way they can win.
 
MSD - how the mightt fallen.


These days man like Dhoni cant even rotate well, even against spin. He was so attacking, aggressive, entertaining to watch when he first came in for the first 2-3 years. I remember his debut against BD he had a duck or something runout in Bangladesh. His 170 odd against Lanka. That guy with long hair and this guy looks two different characters.
 
2019 wc is the sacrifice India has to make to get rid of dhoni and others I believe.
Things are not going to change unless there is a massive backlash from cricket followers, media, ex-cricketers etc.
Added to that the current administration of BCCI is xxxx useless.
 
anyone uses Willow in the USA for their streaming? They are terrible, cant watch 1080p without stuttering.
 
shameless grandpa will retire when Pant's kids are old enough to play for India.
 
Aussie commie telling Isha, you’re indian. Yes she is by origin. But born and bred in Eng, UK she’s British. How did that aussie commie didnt know, shes been doing commentary for ages. Shows the ignorance of aussies.
 
ALL :

Stop abusing players etc - bans could follow if you continue so be warned.
 
Let's hope Ahmed gets some useful experience. We should also have blooded the Mavi and Nagorkoti in this ODI series.
