Australia [359/6] beat India [358/9] by 4 wickets in the fourth ODI to level the series 2-2

[Syed1]

India losing everyday these days

 

[rhony]

PP on a daily basis is predicting the demise of Australian cricket yet they are competing with a full strength Indian team .They will chase down 358 without Smith and Warner. Yet we have PP experts predicting they won't make the World Cup semis. )

Some of us have been saying this for a while. Never count Aussies off in world cups.

 

[Gullycricket]

India losing in everything.Should call back their bogey team SL

India losing everyday these days

Imagine if pak b beat aus.

Austrlia can never be ruled out. But this match has to be taken with a pinch of salt. This is one pitch where no bowler will get any purchase whatsoever even during day. At night even worse. Gripping is harder.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Curse of the Army caps continues )

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Losing to Aus C side in this fashion is pretty embarrassing.

 

[Kroll]

Brilliant by Turner. "Turned" it around, take a bow son.

 

[Smbhayi]

hopefully people can see why you need good keeper behind the stump.. Pant was very below par today... even with bat he got start, he picking gaps but after couple of dot balls he just throw his wicket away.. he need to learn a lot..

 

[nextover666666]

Wow this is the mighty Indian team that will win the World Cup hahahaha like I said Indians can't bowl hahhaa you see Jadhav baseball throw even he did squat lol good Win by Australia B team

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imagine if pak b beat aus.

It still doesn't mean you beat India lol.

Excuses.
Aus were 12-2
It was ind's game to lose...and they did

 

[Ahmed216]

Definitely not a 400 pitch especially batting first. You can't score that many here.

India didnt finish strongly though. They need Pandya

 

[Darkrai]

Imagine if pak b beat aus.

We don't have to imagine since we already did beat them with our b team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

hopefully people can see why you need good keeper behind the stump.. Pant was very below par today... even with bat he got start, he picking gaps but after couple of dot balls he just throw his wicket away.. he need to learn a lot..

Kohli's capaincy was horrible. Terrible bowling changes.

 

[a_tahir]

It still doesn't mean you beat India lol.

Lookimg at the current state of your team i wouldn't think otherwise

 

[jagatk]

Especially when they get spanked by a temporary player (turner)

England got destroyed in their last odi scoring just 113 and losing the game in 12 overs, the guy who took 5 in the game had played just 8 games and had gone for 84 in his last game should england too forgo any hopes of winning the cup?

 

[CricFan2012]

I hope people don't forget how Turner was reprieved at a very crucial stage in the match, it was an easy stumping.

Turner looks like an iconsistent player, and got lucky today.

Don't see many teams chasing this down regardless of your excuses.

 

[Darkrai]

Now people will think twice before dismissing Aussies.

 

[Tyler Durden]

This should put an end to Pant in the WC nonsense. Can't bat, can't hold on to catches, can't do simple stampings. He's just a club level hack at the moment. He is simply not ready and nobody gives a jack if he has test centuries in England and Australia if he's not disciplined and skilled enough to play in LOIs. DK should be the backup to Dhoni.

 

[IAJ]

PP on a daily basis is predicting the demise of Australian cricket yet they are competing with a full strength Indian team .They will chase down 358 without Smith and Warner. Yet we have PP experts predicting they won't make the World Cup semis. )

Starc and Coulter-Nile will also strengthen the bowling.

 

[Thomaskutty]

This is the exact starting XI I would have for the World Cup with maybe Shami in place of Bhuvi.

Then again, maybe not .. Bhuvi has had a shocker today

 

[Kroll]

Turner played well but lets not forget contribution of Pakistani pilot WC Khawaja

Yes, bloke is showing

Weren't people saying that Pant is the real deal

 

[hisham_ashraf]

Wow what a finish!!
India

Hahahahahahaha

 

[jagatk]

Lookimg at the current state of your team i wouldn't think otherwise

its really sad when people gloat about a team losing when it's not even their team doing the beating, last i checked we smoked your pants off at your own home no less.

 

[Hasan123]

Not sure you follow my posts these days? I wanted KL Rahul to be dropped from the test team so that his performance doesn't get affected in ODI's which actually did. So KL Rahul will still be in my ODI team at 4.

Dhoni for Pant
Shankar for Pandya

Pandaya and Shankar have been playing in the same line up.

I think you are just coping out. You don't want to say another player in case said player fails.

I would take Pant and Pandaya in the Pakistan team anyday. They are still young and have shown signs of potential yet when they fail once you call for their heads etc. I think you need to be more patent.

 

[Adijazz1706]

I hope people don't forget how Turner was reprieved at a very crucial stage in the match, it was an easy stumping.

Not an easy stumping, ball kept low

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wow wonderful chase. Brilliant to watch.

 

[Smbhayi]

We have been brutally exposed here. This was a 400 pitch and we are at least 40 runs short.

Our batsmen cannot bowl and our bowlers cannot bat. This can be the theme for WC 2019.

Dhoni could have played a mature 50 ball 30 runs and ensured India would have been only 7 down.

20 runs given the start we've but no way it's a 400 pitch.. it's not big problem we lost the match by the way..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Definitely Pant singlehandedly lost the game with horrible keeping behing the wickets. Turner added 30 odd ater that missed stumping. HE was atleast 2 yards awaY

 

[jagatk]

Starc and Coulter-Nile will also strengthen the bowling.

No they won't, both leak runs especially current version of starc, they just need to be manage richardson better he ain't a death bowler.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not an easy stumping, ball kept low

Dude.. he was like 2 yards away. He had ample time. He completely botched up.

 

[rhony]

TBH this could have been 4-0 for the Aussies easily. Indians haven't been convincing in their victories while Aussies blasted them away in their wins. Will be a great decider.

 

[BDfanforever]

To be honest, it would’ve been a lucky stumping off a wide delivery.

 

[rhony]

Yeah it was an easy leg side grab. The spinners looked a bit lost without Dhoni too. Shows his importance and why management desperately want Dhoni in the team.

 

[BDfanforever]

CA Lynn instead of Shaun Marsh.

 

[troodon]

This should put an end to Pant in the WC nonsense. Can't bat, can't hold on to catches, can't do simple stampings. He's just a club level hack at the moment.

We need dhni’s 50 ball 35 runs on the same pitch and end up scoring even less than 358.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Also Kohli wanted to give a chance to KL Rahul at no.3 spot. He dropped himself down. Kohli at no.3 things would have gone in a different direction. I don't blame him for giving chance to Rahul. But Rahul played for his place. So selfish knock.

 

[rhony]

To be honest, it would’ve been a lucky stumping off a wide delivery.

It's a strategy for spinners. Batsmen tend to overbalance for leg side deliveries off spinners. Dhoni and Chahal did the same for Shaun Marsh in Australia in the last odi. Here Pant botched it

 

[Tyler Durden]

Even if Dhoni had scored a duck, he wouldn't have allowed Aus to win this game. Kohli the idiot is one of the dumbest captains in world cricket and his bowling changes very pathetic to say the least.

 

[Thomaskutty]

TBH this could have been 4-0 for the Aussies easily. Indians haven't been convincing in their victories while Aussies blasted them away in their wins. Will be a great decider.

Credit to the Aussies for a great series so far. To be fair, I think dew played a part today.

 

[rhony]

CA Lynn instead of Shaun Marsh.

Lynn is useless in ODIs. Marsh has been in great form. I expect Warner in place of Finch and Smith for Khawaja when they return.

 

[Tyler Durden]

We need dhni’s 50 ball 35 runs on the same pitch and end up scoring even less than 358.

Apply Burnol because Pant singlehandedly lost this match for India. KL Rahul can keep better than this idiot

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Weren't people saying that Pant is the real deal

Yeah and I noticed the same people were abusing him here in this thread but got their posts deleted. That's what happen with some of these immature fans they get personal and start abusing them and their families. It is one thing to criticise a player and other thing to bring their families, personal life etc.

I noticed the same when Pandya was involved in that Coffee controversy. Fans were going personal and wanted him out of the team because of off the field controversy. Thankfull I didn't lose my class there and was not in favour of Pandya getting banned for that.

 

[troodon]

Pak fans posting some shameful stuff.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I won't care about the result of the match. They wanted to give Rahul a chance after Rayudu fiasco. Looks like no difference. Don't know why they keep SHankar so far down. HE fields exceptionally well. Bowls useful overs. WOn a match too. Bats in different gears without being selfish. It is almost like they will drop SHankar after Pandya walks in. I am glad Dhawan found some form.

 

[rhony]

Credit to the Aussies for a great series so far. To be fair, I think dew played a part today.

Yeah dew did it but 360 should be defendable. Fielding was pathetic in the last game and here too. Pant was bad too.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Weren't people saying that Pant is the real deal

Real deal in dead rubbers!

 

[ILcricket]

358 scored & chased - such pitches will kill cricket !

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Can't Kohli play under Rohit's captaincy? Rohit is a much better captain than over emotional Kohli.

 

[rhony]

Also Kohli wanted to give a chance to KL Rahul at no.3 spot. He dropped himself down. Kohli at no.3 things would have gone in a different direction. I don't blame him for giving chance to Rahul. But Rahul played for his place. So selfish knock.

I still think that's a great strategy. Rahul if he clicks is dynamic but maybe it's too late to try it. Kohli should be at 3 and Shankar should bat at 4. He's shown enough class.

 

[rhony]

Can't Kohli play under Rohit's captaincy? Rohit is a much better captain than over emotional Kohli.

EGO!! Won't happen.

 

[Smbhayi]

Kohli's capaincy was horrible. Terrible bowling changes.

yup, he terribly missed MSD's assist today.. though Dhoni's batting is a problem, he takes time but can't hit big even after set.. I'd suggest he should drop himself below Pandya..

 

[BDfanforever]

Lynn is useless in ODIs. Marsh has been in great form. I expect Warner in place of Finch and Smith for Khawaja when they return.

I dont know about that. Lynn is such an an exciting cricketer. He is more dangerous than Stoinis, Maxwell, Turner.

 

[Titan24]

We don't have to imagine since we already did beat them with our b team.

Absence of two players in Bumrah and Kohli makes India a B team already shows the strength.

 

[troodon]

Apply Burnol because Pant singlehandedly lost this match for India. KL Rahul can keep better than this idiot

One match and the knives are out. This MSD will lose a lot more matches than Pant.

We have seen Dhoni perform in WC 2015 and also CT where he chickened out completely with the bat. Expect more in 2019 WC. He will be a non factor with the bat.

I will play Rahul over Dhoni if Rahul is better than Pant with the gloves. Dhoni is a shameless old man who keeps clinging on to the team with his cronies shastri and csk gang.

 

[Smbhayi]

BTW Pant's review not given..? there was little spike after ball passes..

 

[Titan24]

I dont know about that. Lynn is such an an exciting cricketer. He is more dangerous than Stoinis, Maxwell, Turner.

Couldnt convert that into international cricket with whatever opportunities he was give.

Keep crying because hack Pant is not going to WC. It's Dhoni who's gonna save this overrated team from embarrassment.

Rahul is a part time keeper.. Dhoni's batting is terrible but Pant's bat isn't great either.. he lacks game awareness... but MSD's keeping is miles ahead of Pant's

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol at those who think dhoni is going to do anything this World cup. With dhoni , we would've struggled to reach 320

 

[Thomaskutty]

Dhoni was terrible as a keeper during his first few years. Pant will learn. Today was awful,but let us see how he does in the last ODI.

 

[troodon]

) why are you getting your lungi in a twist? I didnt say anything offensive. It was a normal comment about praying for better results.

We know the intentions. Carry on. This is internet. Anybody can say anything.

Might have helped with fields and managing the spinners atleast.

Ye to sach hai

 

[nextover666666]

Real deal in dead rubbers!

Nah nah mate people were saying he the real deal like he the next big thing

 

[Kroll]

I thought the game was gone after Maxwell was out. But boy, I wonder where this Turner dude has turned up from?

 

[as-95]

How on Earth can you fail to defend 358. So much for India and their new bowling unit )

 

[Tyler Durden]

Nah nah mate people were saying he the real deal like he the next big thing

He's nothing special. People just overhyped him to the moon after those centuries in England and Australia.

 

[Smbhayi]

Dhoni was terrible as a keeper during his first few years. Pant will learn. Today was awful,but let us see how he does in the last ODI.

Dhoni's and Pant's time was different... Pant already played 2 full ipl season (not good there too).. So the excuse of lack of experience/exposure won't work here.. he can improve though but as of now for the WC Dhoni's is the best choice we've..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

How on Earth can you fail to defend 358. So much for India and their new bowling unit )

Bas phir bhi kabhi ghamand nahi kiya.

 

[introvert]

I thought the game was gone after Maxwell was out. But boy, I wonder where this Turner dude has turned up from?

You need to watch bigbash then. He is best finisher in Australia.

 

[Smbhayi]

He's nothing special. People just overhyped him to the moon after those centuries in England and Australia.

he got talent, just lacks games awareness.. playing silly shots after couple of dry overs.. he'll improve with the time..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This was a phenomenal knock by Ashton turner. Well played, sir.

 

[Madplayer]

We know the intentions. Carry on. This is internet. Anybody can say anything.

There are no ill intentions or malice in my heart bro. I mean it. It was supposed to be funny and light hearted.

 

[Chokli]

he got talent, just lacks games awareness.. playing silly shots after couple of dry overs.. he'll improve with the time..

He's fine for tests not ODI

 

[Smbhayi]

. DK should be the backup to Dhoni.

DK.. he'll lost every time when pressure is on.. only his Fielding is good, keeping is bad.. but we've Jadeja for specialist fielder's slot.. Pant should be the backup Keeper..

 

[Slim]

Someone should tell indian team to stop emulating their army. Lost two matches in a row.
