Australia [313/5] beat India [281] by 32 runs in the third ODI, India lead series 2-1

There is a theory that says team should be able to double whatever score they have at 30 overs. I stopped watching the game when Aus were like 186/0 at 30.0 Overs.

Aus only managed to reach 313, so I guess that theory is not fully correct.

With Smith, Warner and Starc, this Australian team will look a lot stronger.

Yeh, sometimes you can't help but feel there are people pulling strings. What do people see in Rayudu?

CSK Mafia.

 

[Sirris]

Impressed by Kohli's 100+ scoring ability.

Haha of course it's not, this is game and not a principle of physics.

Indian fielding was once again horrible. Rayudu's selection continues mystifying fans.

Pandya in place of Rayudu would give better chance to win such matches! You may call Pandya, Shankar, etc, as bits & piece cricketers, but they seem to do better than specialists at least in one department! This is the current trend (scoring/chasing 300+ in ODIs), every time you can't expect the bowlers to restrict opponents with assistance from pitch (anyhow they can still do that even without full bowling/batting unit! On their day Our Top 3 can score 300+ even without specialist batsmen from No.4 on flat pitches, our Top 3 bowlers can restrict opponents below 200 even without regular No.4 & No.5 bowlers with assistance from pitch!), you have to first prepare for the 300+ template because that's what is likely to happen in crucial matches! (WI chased down against India & England in T20 WC because of this factor!)

Aus are going to win another WC, aren't they..

 

[WengerOut]

Aus are going to win another WC, aren't they..

After all the talk about England, it would be funny if Aussies go onto win the WC. Imagine them beating England in the final.

That is because Rayudu is such a low grade batsman. He would not find a place even in associate sides. He doesn't even play domestic cricket. He has retired from that. Only reason he is in the side because of CSK connection.

This! Another humble contribution from Grandpa to the cause of Indian cricket.

Great to know he'll miss next 2 ODIs

Lol, theory is not equal to practical. There are whole lot of possibilities in the real world. Just because something is started well doesn't mean it's end will be good as well.
