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

[babajee]

Major Usman Khawaja setting up another beautiful victory for Pakistan.

 

[Markhor]

If your main bowling cant defend 358 then India has some questions to answer before world cup.

True but with the platform Dhawan and Sharma set, India should've scored 375 plus.

 

[Bilal_103]

Australia will be a problem in the world cup if they get to full strength and this Turner guy took the game away from india today. Very impressive.

 

[Smbhayi]

BTW what an innings by Turner guy.. he was cool under pressure, no wild swings, just proper cricketing shots..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mohali wicket is where pretty much every IPL hack has smashed international bowlers all over the park under lights. Under lights defending any total against decent strikers is hard. Spinners are non-entities on this ground. No turn, no grip whatsoever. Seamers also don't get anything out of it.

if it was important game Kohli will bat at 3.. it was bit of experimental game for us..

 

[Usman Chadda]

What the hell Australia. You play like a bunch of noobs throughout the year, then go and smash India in India

 

[Kroll]

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

Yeah, I don't watch the T20 leagues. Still, a phenomenal effort in which I understand is only his 2nd ODI and that too in foreign conditions.

You lost with your full strength bowling against this Aussie team after scoring 358.

 

[Nov15]

One the rare days when India's bowling cost them a match. Most of India's recent defeats were due to batting collapses. Nothing much to worry, there won't be dew in England

 

[Usman Chadda]

India has made things difficult for our B team

 

[K4Kohli]

Kohli made mistakes as a captain. Aus played well

I absolutely don't care as long as we gain some positives. Dhawan's return to form is refreshing. Vijay continues to impress. Rohit got his touch back again. But captaincy of Kohli brutally exposed without Dhoni. He was running out of ideas very soon.

this is one off those days where's one guy change things altogether.. if that was his day then everything will turn gold for him.. not much to worry about this loss.. Bhuvi is our backup bowler btw..

 

[srh]

Turner played like a beast

 

[reversehook]

Major Usman, Col Handscomb and Sargent Turner delivered the Surgical Strike 2.0... wow what a game, they demolished india's main line up...

Major Usman Khawaja setting up another beautiful victory for Pakistan.

Indeed, it was a wonderful partnership

 

[Syed1]

KK won a thriller and India got humiliated... Today is a nice day

 

[nextover666666]

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

I know he is nothing special but most Indians were overhyping him it's funny and don't worry we Pakistanis do it too like when they over hyped Rizwan Hussian to the moon as we'll and we saw how he turned out in the PSL lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not overhyping him. He has done pretty good with the chances he got with bat. His problem is keeping to spinners. Otherwise he is great. He just doesn't fit in the current squad as a specialist batsman. But he will be the future.

 

[Realromeo]

When Dabang performed, you knew the pitch is weak lol.

 

[jnaveen1980]

When Dabang performed, you knew the pitch is weak lol.

Bumrah hit a six straight over head of Cummins lol That is all we need to know about this pitch. I have seen this so many times at Mohali since the start of IPL. Some absolute random dude will whack international bowler around here. I remember there was this guy debrata das or someone who was spanking Dale Steyn. This is where Maxwell and Miller made their mark.

 

[a_tahir]

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?

They weren't playing at home though

 

[a_tahir]

Pak fans posting some shameful stuff.

Rich coming from an indian.
We're pretty conservative with our replies. If you think that is shameful then you're too young.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pak fan making excuse for England lol India beat Australia in Australia. NZ in NZ, SA in SA, won Asia cup. They could lose to Australia, England in world cup first round as long as they beat the crap out of other teams. They will advance to next round.

Our local pitches are flat as heck these days. Very hard to evaluate our batsmen.

 

[mikeypbadana]

No point blaming kohlis captaincy

2011 India vs England World Cup league match ended in a tie with a score of 354! 2 years before in 2017 Kohli chased down 364 against England ! 350 in today’s times is the new 300! Having said that dropped catches cost us the match !

And what if any of the OTHER teams beats the crap out of India in any of the matches? I'm sure you wouldn't be around here to face the music. Please make these comments if you are man enough to stick around when the going gets tough.

I am just using your own logic lol. Just because India loses here to Australia some of you blindly assume they will lsoe to them in the world cup as well. Then there are these indrect wins. We beat Australia, you lost to Australia. It means we beat you argument. It doesn't work that way.

But u didn't beat eng in eng. So using england as an example is not applicable

 

[jnaveen1980]

That's okay England is a better team than us. We lost 1-2 in England. England lost 1-2 in India. So?

 

[angeldsoul]

The curse of Sunday strikes again against India lol

At least be bothered to read the last sentence.

 

[Snowflake]

So weird how 300+ chases become norm when teams play in India but it's back to 280-300 being a solid score everywhere else in the world.

I wonder what the WC is going to be like

 

[Bilal7]

Khawaja needs to be on that World Cup plane. Him and Warner can be a destructive partnership and Finch can bat at #4 or #5.

300+ has been common everywhere in the world (especially in places like England) over the last few years. 280 is not a solid score these days unless you have a top bowling attack.

Yeah I guess you're right regarding England. Though, what was the trend in the Australia vs India series in Australia?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Some Pakistan fans would do well to remember that they have not beaten any Australian side in a bilateral ODI series in 17 years. So before you come up with excuses like PAK 'B' etc , you would do well to know that you're A team can't beat this OZ side either. Atleast wait until OZ plays you in the UAE before making any judgements. India have beaten OZ 4 times in a bilateral in this period and if we win the next one it will be our fifth.

We hammered SA in SA, NZ in NZ and beat OZ in OZ. What exactly has PAK ODI team in these places.

We haven't played Australia in a bilateral ODI series in home conditions since 2014. We did play a T20I series recently, and proceeded to give them a beating they will probably not forget for a while, as far as T20Is are concerned.

From my understanding, India has struggled even in T20Is against Australia. Psychological edge perhaps?

 

[RamLakhan]

Some Indian BCCI/Dhoni fans here were preaching that you cannot chase 300+ if the top order gets out below 20 runs! As if the middle order is there only to play associative/guest/passenger role in the team! According to them we should just gift the game on silver plate to the opposition once we let them score 300+ So they develop theories which suits their idols!

 

[RamLakhan]

Pakistani fans keep quite when we win and they lose (the major occurrences these days!) while they celebrate our losses and their rare wins (I think they will remember their CT triumph for at least 2 decades!)

We are an inferior T20 side compared to Australia. However, let's wait until Australia's tour of the UAE before we make any judgements.

We're playing our B team. 6 are resting.

Yes.

If Pakistan B manage to beat Australia, they should probably not even bother coming to the WC.

Common Australia!

I'll love to see what you'll say if Pak B beats this aussie team. Remember that this is the EXACT same squad that's gonna play pak.
