Australia (352/7) defeat India (286/10) by 66 runs in in a consolation win - India win series 2-1

[kron]

Despite getting hit for 81 runs in these hot humid conditions, bumrah bounced back and grabbed 3 wickets. Class bowling. Even on a very bad day.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't think we can Chase 360 without inform gill and Pandya

Ever since Rohit donned this new "aggression" avtar he is not making those gigantic scores he is known for.

 

[kron]

Why dint india give prasidh a chance?

 

[Devadwal]

Starc is better finisher than Cummins and marnus

 

[Devadwal]

Ever since Rohit donned this new "aggression" avtar he is not making those gigantic scores he is known for.

Those day are gone .now he is only good for 60-70

 

[jnaveen1980]

After this not picking Labu will be a cardinal error. He will be invaluable in Indian conditions

 

[jnaveen1980]

Today Jadeja bats at 6? What on earth they were thinking.

 

[Falconslions]

India can't chase in these very humid conditions after fielding for 4 hours. Everyone looks drained.

 

[Savak]

Australia were 200/1 in 25 overs. Incredible job by India to restrict Australia to 152 runs for 6 wickets in the next 25 overs.

Some lessons to learn for the Pakistani bowling attack on how to fight back from precarious positions rather than throwing in the towel.

 

[kron]

Good effort in tough conditions by india. At one point 420 was on the cards. Flat wickets is awful for the game.

 

[jattafridi]

Australia 352/7 Target 353

India cant win

 

[Devadwal]

352-7 Australia score after 50 over .this is very good score but still very poor finish as they were 230-2 in 31 over.

 

[IAJ]

Good comeback feom India in the last 20 overs really. Looked like Aus would make 450 at one stage.

 

[jattafridi]

I think india 282 ao let’s see

 

[Devadwal]

Today Jadeja bats at 6? What on earth they were thinking.

Gill and Kishan are not playing so we are one batter short so no chance of chasing this score but Rohit and Kohli should get some valuable practice against Starc, Cummins and Hazelwood .

 

[jnaveen1980]

As per Mitch Marsh that is the hottest conditions he ever played at. Imagine what pacers must have gone through. Not sure why Rohit kept on using Bumrah.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Then they have warm ups. i don't think anyone would want to play warm up. They probably directly want to play the world cup. They have played far too many games already

 

[jattafridi]

Green when u will perform next year

 

[FearlessRoar]

353 runs target for India. A decent comeback by India after a great Start by Australia.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Bumrah in the last 5 overs: 51/0

Bumrah in the last 5 overs: 30/3

Bumrah shows his class on a Rajkot pitch which has been a nightmare for bowlers.

 

[FearlessRoar]

If India manages to chase this mammoth total of 353 against the full-fledged Aussie bowling attack of Starc, Cummins & Hazlewood, It will be assured that India is ready for the world cup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If India manages to chase this mammoth total of 353 against the full-fledged Aussie bowling attack of Starc, Cummins & Hazlewood, It will be assured that India is ready for the world cup.

7 years back Dhawan/Rohit/Kohli would chase in sleep. This is an old unit at the top. Plus SKY is a hit or miss guy. Jadeja at 6 they ain't chasing anything.

 

[Ahmed216]

Judging by how the pitch played for last 20 overs I think 70-80 run loss in on the cards for India

 

[RamLakhan]

If India manages to chase this mammoth total of 353 against the full-fledged Aussie bowling attack of Starc, Cummins & Hazlewood, It will be assured that India is ready for the world cup.

That too with huge tail

 

[jattafridi]

Rohit Vs Virat let’s see who score more runs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian tail today starts at 6.

 

[Mesozoic]

If India manages to chase this mammoth total of 353 against the full-fledged Aussie bowling attack of Starc, Cummins & Hazlewood, It will be assured that India is ready for the world cup.

Would have been possible with Gill's brisk start at the top and the availability of a solid Pandya down the order. Now its just too tall an order for a 5 man batting line-up.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

What happened to Gill?

 

[King_Babar]

If India manages to chase this mammoth total of 353 against the full-fledged Aussie bowling attack of Starc, Cummins & Hazlewood, It will be assured that India is ready for the world cup.

Whether India chases it or not, they are still favourites to win the world cup. This unnecessary series is just a kind of warm up game for Indian team.

 

[kron]

Starc even in these conditions bowling at 145. Incredible speeds in hot humidity weather.

Hope rauf also does the same.

 

[MenInG]

Stick to Indi and Australia please

No need to discuss Pakistan players

 

[Rajdeep]

That looked out....cheating by Indian umpires again.

 

[Devadwal]

Washi should play attacking game. Please no more tuk tuk game

 

[jnaveen1980]

What happened to Gill?

Rotation and rest

 

[Devadwal]

What a shot over Cover for six

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit smoked Starc for off side six

 

[jnaveen1980]

Starc even in these conditions bowling at 145. Incredible speeds in hot humidity weather.

Hope rauf also does the same.

Ball will travel if you bowl fast on these tracks. Shuman GIll thrashed 150ks from Ferguson straight down the grund for 3 sixes

 

[jnaveen1980]

Starc finally realized pace is not working bowling at 123 kph.

 

[Devadwal]

Ball will travel if you bowl fast on these tracks. Shuman GIll thrashed 150ks from Ferguson straight down the grund for 3 sixes

Pakistani fans and their Love affair of Speed .

 

[Devadwal]

Don't show your experience .I know you have solid technique for a test game.

 

[Devadwal]

Imagine Gill with Rohit score would have 40 already .

 

[FearlessRoar]

Washington Sundar has opened the innings with Rohit Sharma

India 19/0 3.5 overs

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sundar as opener?

 

[Devadwal]

Washi 3(10)* this is how pressure build for another batsman

 

[Devadwal]

Another six by Rohit. IND 32-0 in 5 over.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Lol..this allrounder sundar worse than tailender.

 

[Devadwal]

Finally he connect

 

[sweep_shot]

Washi 3(10)* this is how pressure build for another batsman

He is not a regular opener. I guess India is experimenting.

Reminds me of how South Africa opened batting with Nicky Boje.

 

[Devadwal]

3rd six by Rohit

 

[Devadwal]

He is not a regular opener. I guess India is experimenting.

Reminds me of how South Africa opened batting with Nicky Boje.

Yes and he don't get chance again in future as we have enough opener Kishan and Gill are resting so he get chance to Play

 

[jattafridi]

Rohit playing good

 

[FearlessRoar]

Sheer class act from Rohit Sharma against Mitchell Starc
When this guy will stop hitting sixes!!!

India 43/0 (6/50 overs)

 

[Devadwal]

Easy Rohit .we need a big innings from you man

 

[jattafridi]

Tanveer sangha Vs india

 

[Devadwal]

No 4 six by Rohit v

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit is massacring Aussie attack.

 

[Blackbradman]

Rohit dealing in sixes

 

[sweep_shot]

Rohit is in good form.

 

[Blackbradman]

5th six

 

[Devadwal]

Six number 5 from Rohit

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sixes galore. 5 sixes in 46.

 

[Blackbradman]

4 sixes in last 6 balls from Rohit

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is not some pie chuckers. Hazlewood/Cummins/Starc all treated with utter disdain.

 

[RamLakhan]

Sundar is opening more to give cushion to the batting lineup! (SKY now at No.6)

 

[King_Babar]

Why did Aussies choose to bat first ? To avoid Rohit's 4th double ton?

 

[kron]

This is not some pie chuckers. Hazlewood/Cummins/Starc all treated with utter disdain

Cummins has always been a poor odi bowler.
.hazlewood is good yes

Starc was good. Now declining. But great innings nonetheless. Class player rohit.

If india batted first they might have posted 400

 

[Devadwal]

Sundar is opening more to give cushion to the batting lineup! (SKY now at No.6)

Yes this is good thinking from TM .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cummins has always been a poor odi bowler.
.hazlewood is good yes

Starc was good. Now declining. But great innings nonetheless. Class player rohit.

If india batted first they might have posted 400

He has done it against them so many times. NOt the first time

 

[RamLakhan]

Problem with Rohit is now he can play like this only on absolute flat pitches. With bit of variations in bounce and seam he ends up skying one of these pull shots and getting out! Few years back he used to send these balls to the stands, now the ball is only crossing the boundary line, so timing & length judgement not that perfect!

 

[jattafridi]

Australia looks ordinary

Nobody can beat india Champion team

 

[kron]

Sundar looked good in tests but what is he doing here lol? He is playing test cricket?

 

[Devadwal]

I'm missing Gill very badly. Washi 11(23) * please give strike to Rohit atleast

 

[Savak]

Bizzare bowling approach by Australia, Rohit is in scintillating form and is on top of his game with his pull shots and they are still persisting with the short ball strategy on a flat wicket.

 

[Devadwal]

Now Cummins is bowling more fuller length instead short Bowl

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sundar is great to have at No,7 or No.8. But opening is not his game.

 

[Devadwal]

This six remind me of gabba .

 

[Blackbradman]

Sundar joins the act

 

[Rajdeep]

I'm missing Gill very badly. Washi 11(23) * please give strike to Rohit atleast

Why did Dravid send him to open? What is the logic behind it?

COuld have send SKY or KL

 

[Devadwal]

IND 66/0 in 9 over .

 

[Vikram1989]

Why did Dravid send him to open? What is the logic behind it?

COuld have send SKY or KL

Washi used to open in under 19 when dravid was coach.
