Lol Yadav is a spray gun no matter who's captaining.
Wonderful chase, worthy of a sleepless night.
I thought IND was about 20 short without Ash, which probably was the case. It's 3-0 & I think, it'll end 5-0; but IND did play well - all 3 matches were much closer than I thought. May be missing 3/4 key players for Australia made it a decent contest. Warner & Strack probably would have made AUS win 3 or 4 out of 5 with a "Bonus" points. Hope they play some new players in the dead rubbers.
Defeat by 7 wickkets or 3 wickets?
Please change the title
Will India stop the winning streak at home of AUS. 17 matches till now. Maybe India is the only team who can do so
With arguably the weakest bowling attack amidst the top 8 teams I don't feel so. Fielding is excellent, so is batting but bowlers lack penetration

Don't be sad brother. Winning and losing is part of game. Your team fought well. Cheer up you are World Number 1 test team and you will do better in next odi series.

Not that bad as well. We need to have Bhuvi replacing sran in next game and ashwin back. Things may change.
And even bangladesh is there in top 8. Dont count us below them. Our current bowling attack is also better than them.
I am pretty sure that in ODIs the attack of Shakib, Sunny, Mustafiz, Taskin, Al Amin, Mashrafe is superior to that of India's attack of Jadeja, Yadav, Bhuv Kumar, Mohit Sharma, Sran. Stats too will tell you the same I feel. In ODIs, over the past 1 year Bangladesh has performed better than India. Obviously, Bangladesh batted well but still India are a more capable batting side. Which hints that our bowling has been better.
We have bowled out India twice, SA twice, Pak twice, Zimbabwe thrice in the span of 8 months. India haven't been able to do the same. In tests, our attack is inferior I won't deny that.

I'm enjoying seeing Maxwell decide that he does want to become a legitimate cricketer with genuine substance

Where was ghar ka sher Ashwin today?
I am amazed how umesh screws up everytime and again and still doesn't seem to be bothered about it.
Doesn't he have a conscience ?![]()
How are u so sure that we will lose?

Maxwell in 30s edged to Dhoni, was not given out, ended up scoring 95, ultimately winning the match.
Looks like we are the SL of Aus.
To have this performance INSPITE of Starc not playing is pathetic on so many levels.
Why is it pathetic? Indian team is new too, with players like Gurkeerat and Dhawan making debut and shami injured, if Australian side is second string then India is also not playing its first choice team plus the odi team is in transition

Not as embarrassing as the phainty Amir gotLOL! Don't tell me Ashwin was dropped for a do-or-die game. How embarrassing.

Cos we aren't even looking like winning any games in Aus.
Aus lost the ODI series in India but they won games and really fought and theyt ook us to the decider.
This is a trundler lineup by Aussies and we are not still making 330. There is literally no excuses for this performance.
Bowlers have been bad too but they weren't up against the easy opposition on favourable conditions like batsmen.
By the way, Gurukeerat and Dhawan are making debut cos the main ones are NOT good enough. Its not a second string by choice.
Shami, Ishant, Yadav, Ashwin, Jadeja.. That is our bowling unit and its pretty fine.But as always, one of our pacers get injured and some of stupid selections makes it even worse.It is said that fast bowlers hunt in pair but we might still have to wait for more years before we see our bowlers doing that.
It is called transition, which is why this team is not expected to win, it is not pathetic, batting has performed, you can't put the blame on batting everytime, even if 300 is just par score or even below par then also bowling has to win some matches, you can't say that we lost because of batting because we didn't score above par score, cricket is about batting bowling and fielding and if you suck in one then don't expect to dominate. Shami would have made the difference and won us a match at least.
You are talking in a very general way.
Batting has done its job and bowling lost it when reality is different.
300 cannot be defended most of the times.

Aus have shredded EVERY bowling attack in Aus in the last 3 years (ODIs).
No bowling attack (and I repeat no attack) could control Aussie run scoring in the last few years.
Shami wouldn't have made ANY difference in results whatsoever (maybe in 3rd ODI but that's about it - still its not a guaranteed win). Unless batting scores 30-50 more runs to create scoreboard pressure and induce mistakes, nothing is gonna happen.
Batting shootuts are batting shootouts.
lol you just wanna remain one trick pony, bat and score 350 everytime lol, it ain't gonna happen, 295 was easily defendable as shown in the last match, bowling needs to put its hand up and win even if we are 15-20 short sometimes, scoring close 300 three times in a row is good enough to win at least one match and keep the series alive, but no just keep whining about those extra 30 runs, cricket is not just batting SIF![]()
Doing what it takes is NOT being a one trick pony. Yes, we could have won yesterday's game but that wasn't meant to be cos Aus bats too deep and kept coming at you. You need the extra runs to make them play stupid shots and get out.
Plus again you are missing some facts.
Melbourne had a bit of grip and a bit of turn (not lots) compared to the laast 2. That's why Jaddu could do better and take 2 golden wickets and gurukeerat bowled economically (even though he simply floated the ball).
So better performance from us bowling wise as spinners came into play (that's obvious).
I presented irrefutable facts to you reg the last 3 years but you call it one trick pony. LOL.
Our bowling could have defo done better but that extra 30-50 runs could create the pressure needed for mistakes. Still Aussies are damn good to go for it but it gives us a chance too. When in India 2013, we were on a roll and Aus even with peak Johnson couldn't defend 350 twice. It could happen to India here too but those runs gives us a better chance but I haven't seen any bowling against Aus in Aus that have closed the deal with a sub par score.
There is a reason batting shootouts are batting shootouts. Aussies batting deep is making it 10X more harder.
Moving on.
It does. But its not the main reason for our losses.
This is so nice of you bro.

Haha, arry bhai don't be sad. You don't win the war until you lose some battles.

Btw, what's the case with Umesh Yadav? Receiving a lot of abuses on social media regarding some his stupid fileding? I didn't watch the match so don't know what actually happened.
