Australia [389/4] beat India [338/9] by 51 runs in the 2nd ODI

[MP2011]

Hindi commentary is truly awful.

 

[Rana]

47 off 6 overs

What more could you ask for chasing 390?

 

[Rana]

India are right in this game. Don’t write them off yet

 

[MP2011]

What an extra cover drive from Mayank!

 

[Belawal2014]

Sharamful acting from Carey.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Hindi commentary is truly awful.

Yeah lol calling 29 year old Mayank as youngster.

 

[watson367]

good start. Dhawan needs to carry on.

 

[Madplayer]

Great start for India. But they need to keep this up for next 30 overs without losing many wickets.

 

[MP2011]

What an extra cover drive from Mayank!

Make that 2.

 

[Rana]

So Agarwal lifts his front foot playing shots on the fuller length

 

[Ozeirk]

Indian fans have started to emerge in this thread after a lifeline

 

[MP2011]

Sharamful acting from Carey.

Yeah, that was nowhere near bat.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

India are right in this game. Don’t write them off yet

Have to agree. As bad as the bowling effort was, I fully expect the likes of Dhawan, Mayank, Kohli, Rahul, and Pandya to give it a good fight. They can easily chase 340, the real question is whether they can make those extra 40 runs.

 

[Rana]

Ideally India need 220-1 in 30 overs and they are well in this game

 

[MenInG]

Warner off the field

 

[Mesozoic]

Everyone is hittable except Hazelwood.

They need to play him smartly.

 

[Rana]

Hazlewood has been excellent

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Everyone is hittable except Hazelwood.

They need to play him smartly.

Exactly, they did the exact opposite last match. Could have actually been a very close chase if the top 4 played a little bit more smartly.

 

[Belawal2014]

That sunset....

 

[Mesozoic]

Pathetic.

 

[Rana]

Kohli abhi nahi tou kabhi nahi

 

[MP2011]

Poor from Dhawan yet again.

 

[Belawal2014]

Am I the only one, or does that sun look bigger than normal?

 

[Madplayer]

Dhawan tries to force one. there was no need for that. India is maintaining a good rate. Why slog blindly now?

 

[MP2011]

Ideally India need 220-1 in 30 overs and they are well in this game

You are correct but I think we'll get bowled out by the time we reach 200-odd.

 

[Mesozoic]

Kohli walking in with a defeatist stride.

 

[Rana]

They were going so well just playing good cricket shots, why is Dhawan trying to be so extra?

 

[MP2011]

We are only going by reputations. Gill would have learnt so much in this series bad we played him instead of this Baldy.

 

[Rana]

You are correct but I think we'll get bowled out by the time we reach 200-odd.

Have faith man, I know we like to troll but cricket is the most beautiful game in the world. You can never say never

 

[watson367]

Kohli nah ho pyaga tujse chase.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Dhawan tries to force one. there was no need for that. India is maintaining a good rate. Why slog blindly now?

Same mistakes as the first ODI.

 

[MP2011]

but cricket is the most beautiful game in the world.

I agree with this, fully!

 

[Rana]

Agarwal needs to sort out his front foot. Not sure why it’s in the air all the time

 

[Ozeirk]

Lol

 

[MP2011]

Mayank gone as well.

 

[Rana]

So if Agarwal doesn’t lift his front foot, he is basically a sitting duck

 

[Mesozoic]

Game over.

What a humiliation!

 

[Madplayer]

Dammmn. Cummins always looks like picking a wicket. The end is nigh it seems folks

 

[watson367]

Ipl failures galore.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Collapse incoming.

 

[Rana]

Here comes Shreyas NBA MVP

 

[MP2011]

It's really astonishing to see Gill not being able to find a place in this pathetic Rohit less batting line-up.

 

[Titan24]

Nothing shot from Agrawal, no footwork

 

[MP2011]

Am a big fan of Mayank but these 20s won't do him or us any good.

 

[Mesozoic]

Kohli will follow soon and then we'll see some "solidifying" from Rahul and Iyer against Maxwell and Zampa.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli still to score.

 

[Mesozoic]

Rohit must be sitting somewhere at the NCA having a big meal and laughing his *** out at this farce.

 

[Rana]

The trademark Shreyas shot.

Move to the right...move to the left...hit to the right...move to the left

 

[Slog]

Kohli walking in with a defeatist stride.

Lolwut

 

[Rana]

Iyer makes Rizwan’s shuffles look so amateur

 

[MP2011]

Shreyas batting like a clown.

 

[Madplayer]

Am I the only one, or does that sun look bigger than normal?

That's probably the floodlight you are looking at.

 

[Rana]

Shreyas batting like a clown.

He doesn’t have any other technique against pace.

 

[Slog]

Shreyas batting like a clown.

Where’s Prithvi Shaw?

In KL Rahul and Pandya; India has some decent firepower in the lower order but for that to really be in the game; these two need to take India beyond 200+.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rohit must be sitting somewhere at the NCA having a big meal and laughing his *** out at this farce.

He must be laughing at those who thought his absence was a 'blessing in disguise'?

 

[imshally81]

Kholi off the mark...

 

[Rana]

Warner will be out for the first Test

 

[imshally81]

Where’s Prithvi Shaw?

In KL Rahul and Pandya; India has some decent firepower in the lower order but for that to really be in the game; these two need to take India beyond 200+.

Sanju Samson should be in Indian team...

 

[MP2011]

Where’s Prithvi Shaw?

In KL Rahul and Pandya; India has some decent firepower in the lower order but for that to really be in the game; these two need to take India beyond 200+.

Probably lost his own confidence and selectors' after a horrendous IPL.

 

[MP2011]

Warner will be out for the first Test

Not yet. Going for scan.

 

[Third Man]

I don't think Shreyas Iyer is good enough on the short ball against these bowlers. Might work in India, but not here.

 

[Slog]

Yaar Hazelwood is some bowler. I know people give him credit and rate him a lot but I still think he is underrated. Also think if he was in 2019 WC squad; Aussies might have won it too. Only Aussies could rest a fit bowler for a World Cup to make sure he’s fully ready for an ashes series

 

[watson367]

kohli under a lot of pressure. dont think he'll score big

 

[Rana]

Not yet. Going for scan.

100% he will

He may be out for the summer

 

[MP2011]

Comical from Shreyas, lucky to be still there.

 

[Mesozoic]

This Iyer got selected for the test squad if I'm not wrong.

He should get a game in Perth.

 

[PakPremi]

Mamoon saab....... Hazir ho

Mamoon (Mahon) Doshi (joshi) Hazar ho
Reminds me of an Indian Film title

 

[watson367]

why did sheryas come before KL Rahul?

 

[MP2011]

Yaar Hazelwood is some bowler. I know people give him credit and rate him a lot but I still think he is underrated. Also think if he was in 2019 WC squad; Aussies might have won it too. Only Aussies could rest a fit bowler for a World Cup to make sure he’s fully ready for an ashes series

True. He is an awesome bowler. Probably 60% of McGrath's abilities.

 

[Slog]

Probably lost his own confidence and selectors' after a horrendous IPL.

Didn’t know but That shouldn’t be grounds for dropping tho. (Assuming he was doing well otherwise). Iyer and Shaw have been talked about for a while and Shaw looks the better of the two from little I’ve seen

 

[imshally81]

Kholi vs Zampa

 

[Ab Fan]

Kohli tuk-tuking.

 

[Rana]

Zampa is 28...he looks 14

 

[MP2011]

100% he will

He may be out for the summer

Wish him good health. Hope he gets well soon.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It's really astonishing to see Gill not being able to find a place in this pathetic Rohit less batting line-up.

May be Kohli doesn't like to see players who will take the spotlight away from him?

 

[watson367]

Look at that view

 

[MP2011]

Didn’t know but That shouldn’t be grounds for dropping tho. (Assuming he was doing well otherwise). Iyer and Shaw have been talked about for a while and Shaw looks the better of the two from little I’ve seen

Agree. IPL should not be a yardstick for selection in international cricket.

As for Shaw, had few middling scores during NZ trip, our last international assignment before this trip.

 

[Rana]

Man this is such a shame. India will fare so much better with Warner out of the Test series

 

[Titan24]

Atleast one of the U-23 batsmen need to be permanent fixture in Indian lineup and its high time now (Rather already an year or two late) considering Kohli (32), Rohit (33), Dhawan (34) dont have a lot of years left. Someone should be ready to be the young lead batsman when they are gone otherwise there will be quite a few problems for India going forward. Rahul and Iyer can be the transitional bridge but a young guy who can have 12-15 years in him needs to be developed as the next star.

 

[imshally81]

Kholi gone
