Australia defeat India by 5 wickets in 1st ODI (Perth)

[Aman]

Paris is no where quick as some suggested [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION]

 

[rhony]

Australians always give opportunities to those with special talents rather than waiting for them to become a complete products. Warne was selected to the national team after playing 6 first class matches and he didn't even know half the team mates' name.

Hussey, Hayden and Voges would disagree

 

[Sachin136]

First ball I saw from one of the best left hand bowlers of this gen was at 131kph..

You expect a 23 year old to bowl in the 150s?

 

[Justcrazy]

52 / 1

10 overs

solid start

 

[Dr_Bassim]

There was a thread comparing Starc, Amir and Paris, asking which is the best left arm bowler of this era.

There is no rule you have to be 150 km/h to get that honor.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

You expect a 23 year old to bowl in the 150s?

Amir does at times.

At least 145-148.

 

[Convict]

Paris is no where quick as some suggested [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION]

He's bowled faster than this before.

 

[BeautifulGame]

LOL Rohit's isnt any better. You wouldn't say this if you had watched him long enough.

Scores tons for fun in India but overseas gifts away his wicket for free

Lol Rohit is the best ODI Batsmen in the world

As an opener both his home and away records are exceptional.

 

[Convict]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] - Paris is no slower than Boult.

And like Boult his speed isn't his main weapon.

 

[rhony]

There was a thread comparing Starc, Amir and Paris, asking which is the best left arm bowler of this era.

I got a good chuckle out of that thread. Starc is a proven performer. Amir hasn't done much after his comeback. Paris hasn't even played a game and people started omparing. Where is Bolt?

 

[ChachaCricket]

Just shut up KP.

 

[Zak_Fan]

About time a team thumps Aussies in Australia.

 

[Justcrazy]

sharma looking good here .

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Sharma is such a talented lad.

 

[rhony]

True but don't jump the gun yet. India's spearheads are Sran and BK. Aussies will probably be 100/0 in 10 just to show NZ that they can do it too

 

[Aman]

He's bowled faster than this before.

How quick? Just seen his last few overs and all the deliveries I've glanced at have been around 130kph.

 

[Sandeep]

Unfortunately I can't see India winning even if we score around 270 runs.. Warner, Finch, Smith, Bailey, Maxwell, Marsh, Wade and Faulkner. All it takes is just one of them to have half a good day and we'll be done.

 

[Relapse]

Boland is a total trundler. Would get whacked in asia esp.

Why are you even hoping? India is losing this series. 100 per cent.

Wth...who is this Barinder? Never heard of him.

 

[rhony]

I've seen better bowlers in BBL than Paris and Boland

 

[rhony]

Wth...who is this Barinder? Never heard of him.

I think they wanted a left arm pacer and he's the best around I guess

 

[Aman]

There is no rule you have to be 150 km/h to get that honor.

No, but you'd at least expect a player to have played a decent number of international games before even being considered.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Let's see if we can outbat Australia in a big way. That's our only chance.

 

[Sandeep]

Wasim is being annoying. Speaking about how Pakistan used to get 62 for 3 or 4 wickets down. Totally ignoring the fact that the pitch is a flat patta and not what aussies pitches used to be.

No need to get offended. Reality is what keeps us sane.

He is being realistic. Pakistan would have been 5 down by now, they are World no.8 for a reason.

 

[rhony]

No, but you'd at least expect a player to have played a decent number of international games before even being considered.

I think they wanted to test Paris just in case Starc doesn't make it to the NZ series. If there is a bit of lateral movement, Paris could be very useful. His wrist position is good

Pakistanis don't need "flat Pattas" to be 3 or 4 down )

Sorry I meant best ODI opener .

 

[Relapse]

How does mitchell marsh manages to get in the aussie team? Guy cant bowl to save his life. His short pitch bowl was laughable. Aussies pitches have gone down the gutter for sure.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good start by India.

I think on a flat patta like this pitch even Pakistan would be able to save some grace.

 

[Zak_Fan]

A lot of people prefer Rohit's classic batting as compared to AB's tulley-baazi style. The fact that Rohit opens and sets the tone of the match goes in his favor too.

I am team AB myself, but some people going with Rohit is understandable.

 

[carrom_ball]

Lol. That is true as well.

Reality keeps you sane , good to know that you are not fully insane yet

Geoff Marsh.

Thanks for your concern, brother. Your love is what keeps me sane.

The problem is with intent.

We might be only 1 down but it would be 10 overs 18-1

AB is anything but "tulley-baazi".

You need to see the guy bat in tests when required to defend.

He plays the way the game is supposed to go.

"Tulley Baaz" is someone like Afridi or Umar Akmal.

 

[Thivagar]

Hussey, Hayden and Voges would disagree

What was so special about them when they were 20 ?

AB can play the classical and can certainly play the 'tulley-baazi' style. No one can be compared to AB barring King Viv. They can just destroy a bowler irrespective of the pitch.

 

[rhony]

Just look at their First class records before they came into the Aussie side.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Faulkner on, so wicket is coming now.

 

[Relapse]

I think you are being generous here. 18-2 would be better. Azhar doing his usual dancing around the wicket in the first over before getting lbw. Hafeez coming in to get shehzad run out. And then when Pak would reach 40. Hafeez would sky one mishit to mid wicket for a catch or get stumped.

 

[Aman]

This bowling attack gives ours a run for their money when it comes to lack of pace.

Missed paris' bowling. Was he as good as the people suggested? Although one game doesnt mean jack but still.

What else can you expect with Azhar Ali as an opener? I still can't believe that in this day and age, a player like Azhar can open the batting for an international team.

 

[carrom_ball]

Dhoni should retire soon or at least leave the captaincy, what a boring team he has selected, sran bk pandey , two trundlers and a TTF

 

[Aman]

You expect a 23 year old to bowl in the 150s?

The thread earlier suggested he was much quicker than 130 clicks (most of the deliveries I've glanced at have been around this range).

 

[Dr_Bassim]

AB and tulley baaz?

Haha exactly.

To CAll AB de Villiers a "Tulley Baaz" is like one of those moments.....

 

[rhony]

Kev just said that Indians have a couple of bowlers that can bowl 140+ in the game. Is that Umesh and Sran? How fast is Sran?

 

[GrandMaster]

139 kmph is the fastest until now, bowled by Mitchell Marsh

 

[Relapse]

One of those akmal moments.

yeah, almost as ridiculous as calling rizwan and harris better than rahane

This two batting well here.

 

[Relapse]

Or putting rahane in your LOI team.

If Rohit gets into the 100s, we can expect a double ton.

 

[GrandMaster]

Umesh bowl @ 140-145

I take offense to calling Shezzy a hack.

The guy takes so long to complete his 50, that half the team is back to the pavilion before he gets there.

 

[rhony]

Who on earth is sran?

Dude..check the score card. BB Sran is the debutante from India

 

[haiderva]

You have to give it to the Indian batsmen. Their approach to batting is pure masterclass. Full of confidence, aggressive approach, rotating the strike, and putting away the bad deliveries. Our batsmen (though highly talented) can really learn a thing or two from the boys in blue.

 

[Justcrazy]

80 / 1

16 overs .

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ops, just saw scorecard. Dhawan sahab got failed against this bowling attack too.

Dont take the bait doc.

 

[rhony]

Agreed that the pitch is flat but there is good bounce on the pitch. Just look at the number of balls the Indians left and they way they cashed in on loose deliveries. Good batting so far

The difference between Indian Batting approach and Pakistan is totally different. That is the reason why Pakistan have struggled mostly against India in big games.

"Tulley Baaz" is someone like Afridi or Umar Akmal.

This is why I rate him as the best. But both these batsmen are capable of entering a beast zone, sometihng that sets them apart. However, the way both achieve this is quite opposite. AB turns into this innovation factory, while Rohit plunders attacks with classical batting and bowlers stand no chance. Ever since he started opening, Rohit has turned into a master of 50 over Cricket. Everything he does has a grace and art about it, so I can see why some people prefer him.
