Australia beat India by 7 wickets (with 6 balls remaining) in 2nd ODI

[Justcrazy]

India won the toss and elected to bat

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Dhawan has already departed.

 

[Justcrazy]

India sticking to the same combination.

11 / 1


3 overs

 

[Belawal2014]

Need to change that title though

Rohit 'Hitman' Sharma to 200?

 

[Justcrazy]

sharma continues to find gaps.

 

[cricfan967]

Australian attack lacks venom without Starc

 

[BaaliSoda]

Thought Rishi dhawan (better fielder and hitter than Ash) will get a chance but not to be.

Pitch appears yet another belter, OZs should chase down any total that our batters make today.

 

[Convict]

This Australian team is really weak

 

[SunTzu]

This comment on cricinfo is gold:

Chetan: "For all the batting value he adds to team India, Dhawan can easily be replaced with a specialist bowler. Bowler will match Dhawan on both - scoring & crease occupation. In addition, he would give captain an additional bowling option."

 

[Convict]

Dhawan has already departed.

Joel Paris knew that was a rubbish ball as well. Hence the reaction to his first ever international wicket

Even replacing dhawan with another dhawan can help india.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli nicked that , but short , survives

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli looks shaky as ever (when playing balls of outside off stump).

 

[street cricketer]

India should just start playing with 10 players already.

 

[Justcrazy]

sharma on fire

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is how this bowling attack should be treated.

 

[BaaliSoda]

OTOH, Rohit looks his usual fluent best (in ODIs). Has hit some very good shots so far.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Lol what the hell is this from Australia? All rubbish bowlers apart from Paris.

 

[street cricketer]

What value does Dhawan add to the team other than twirling his moustache during the drinks breaks, trying to intimidate the ball boys at the boundary.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lol what the hell is this from Australia? All rubbish bowlers apart from Paris.

They have full confidence on india's bowling. Hence they are resting their premier bowlers.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Lol what the hell is this from Australia? All rubbish bowlers apart from Paris.

Why would they wanna waste their bowlers on a flat track with plenty of runs?

They will just outbat any score India puts up.

No point beating their best bowlers to dust.

 

[Justcrazy]

sharma looking in sparkling form again

 

[BaaliSoda]

Paris is mixing his pace/length very well for this track, reminisces how Mustafizur troubled our batsmen in recent BD tour.

Look at the batting lineup as well.

 

[street cricketer]

The players should ask for a break 2 hours from now to watch Amir's debut in NZ.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What value does Dhawan add to the team other than twirling his moustache during the drinks breaks, trying to intimidate the ball boys at the boundary.

What is dhoni adding to this team? Kohli should become the captain now. We should get rid of dhoni, dhawan anf jaddu on overseas tours. They are useless. Not even gauti was this bad even when he wasn't in form.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Hastings is another bowler who is very good in bowling cutters and pace variation, should trouble our batsmen.

 

[Thivagar]

Bret Lett : He(Hasting)is so fit, cricket fit (fat boy with lots of stamina)

Dhoni has far too much influence to get dropped. We have to wait for him to get retired and Dhawan to somehow get banned.

 

[Thivagar]

I've started growing, i too like twirling them, it is pretty hard not to. For some reason, no one has mentioned anything about my mustache

 

[BaaliSoda]

Rohit baal baal bache!

 

[street cricketer]

Looks like both teams want to lose first and start watching Amir's debut.

 

[Thivagar]

Boland, Hasting and Paris have this "im not that good" face.

 

[BaaliSoda]

That's 3rd consecutive over with too many dot balls, play and misses from Indians.

 

[Thivagar]

Yellow Floppy Hat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Baseball Cap

They make the players appear less athletic.

You should grow a veerappan moustache and watch the girls go weak on their knees.

[street cricketer]

Does Kane Richardson count as a bhai?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Boland looks like the younger brother of daryl tuffey.

 

[Thivagar]

This one took me 1 month, veerapan will take me several months. Too many guys think having a beard will make them look cool, so im going with mustache. They are starting to look more and more like Shoot The Kili sidharth's but the goatee needs some work. It does make me feel manly though.

 

[Thivagar]

Does Kane Richardson count as a bhai?

More like a boy. Don't know how old he is but he has been looking 20 since ever.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Did Dhoni change the squad or not?

He will change it after the series.

 

[Convict]

They're talking about the Pakistani Super League on the radio.

"Nice holiday in the UAE"

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

More like a boy. Don't know how old he is but he has been looking 20 since ever.

He is just 24.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli living solely of balls bowled at his pads, has missed quite a few offstump/outside offstump balls (thus far).

I rarely see people in the west sporting just moustaches. Will make you stand out for sure. Make sure you keep a stylish one.

 

[Convict]

They make the players appear less athletic.

“I imagine in 10 or 15 years the coloured floppy will have the same sort of significance as the baggy green,” Bailey quipped with a straight face at the post-match press conference, “I think there’ll be youngsters growing up wanting to don the floppy. It’s got that sort of power.”

It's true

I second that.

[street cricketer]

Kohli's getting frustrated. Don't see him surviving long here.

 

[Belawal2014]

Did Dhoni change the squad or not?

Squad? No. Playing XI? Yes, Ishant Sharma in for Bhuvi.

 

[BaaliSoda]

50 partnership between Kohli and rohit

 

[Justcrazy]

This two yet again playing well

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ishant Sharma, the man is playing today. Aussies, be scared.

 

[Justcrazy]

spin in form of maxwell .

 

[Thivagar]

He is just 24.

nvm

They do but it is like Kohli kinda stache, it blends in with a beard or has goatee to support it. Never on just stache. Don't think I'll sport a stache alone either.

 

[Thivagar]

Maxwell always finds a way to drift his delivery will very little revs on the ball. I think it might be just the ball swinging.

 

[LastManstanding]

Why you no play like this in tests Rohit?

 

[Relapse]

I suspect maxwell chucks.

 

[Thivagar]

I suspect maxwell chucks.

no he isn't. Don't be junaids and say offies shouldn't be able to drift legally.

 

[Relapse]

He will change it after the series.

Man, i like dhoni but his antics have started making all those whino comments by indian fans make sense to me.

 

[Relapse]

no he isn't. Don't be junaids and say offies shouldn't be able to drift legally.

No, honestly. My suspicion regarding his action started during their tour to UAE. It is still there.

 

[Justcrazy]

The game progressing just like previous game.

 

[Relapse]

Ishant Sharma, the man is playing today. Aussies, be scared.

The pitch has some bounce. Maybe ishant can pull some miracle. Believe.

 

[Thivagar]

How the aussies look today.

 

[LastManstanding]

Why the hell are they playing so many dot balls?

 

[Justcrazy]

maxwell so far good.

 

[dauntless]

Rohit is real superstar

 

[Relapse]

Why the hell are they playing so many dot balls?

I am not watching that match but is it rohit?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Maxwell has already bowled 7 dot balls in his 2 overs spell so far, looks threateningly close to breaking this partnership (Jaddu bowled 15 dots while Ashwin bowled 17 dots in their 10 overs spells, last game).

 

[Sadevdesai]

Looks like repeat of the 1st ODI .... Indians batting too slow !!!

 

[LastManstanding]

I am not watching that match but is it rohit?

Both Kohli and Rohit are guilty.

 

[Thivagar]

No, honestly. My suspicion regarding his action started during their tour to UAE. It is still there.

I don't think he is chucking. His action just looks weird.

 

[Gayle_Force]

Rohit got a lot of flak but its Kohli who has batted really slow so far.

 

[Convict]

No, honestly. My suspicion regarding his action started during their tour to UAE. It is still there.

Huh? Maxwell's clearly got a legit action.

 

[Relapse]

Maybe its just me, folks.
