What's new

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

Ashwin's bowling a very negative line here. Not good so far
 
You need accurate fast bowling on this track.. Spinners are not going to offer control..
 
I don't mind the runs to be honest.

I am seeing the match and the spinners are NOT getting smashed.

Its just that there is nothing here and that ONE bad ball or semi bad gets you the 4 and then singles make it an 8 run over.

Its completely risk free cricket by Aus.

What we need is wicket taking balls. Nothing else will work.

The point is 309 was already gg.

It's just not enough on this kind of wicket.

You've given the game away and hoping they give it back.
 
ashwin shd not be included outside asia...
vere bad fielder..
no one day batting...
 
Ashwin proving again that he is useless in alien conditions
 
Ashwin 3 overs 22 runs, same as part timer Maxwell did in India's inning (at least Maxi looked more threatening in few of those 18 deliveries that he bowled, same can't be said about Ash's bowling in this inning thus far)
 
I dont know why we expected miraculous Ashwin in the first place.

Off spinner's graveyard is Australia and Ashwin won't do much here.

Its too easy for Bailey and Smith.

And with Maxwell and Faulkner to come, Australia are going to coast home until something dramatic happens.
 
Unless they take a wicket in the next couple of overs, the match will slip away from India's grip very quickly
 
Meanwhile the returned Salman Butt has just lifted his average to 234.00!
 
Ashwin's bowling is getting murdered here, MSD should have changed the bowling from Ash's end.
 
These two showing Rohit and Kohli how they should have played during the same stage.

Easily going at 6+ an over without too many risks.

Rohit as first change bowler, lol yeah right.

Another Aussie win, yawn...
 
Never been achieved on a Perth pitch bla bla bla. Highest Indian Score in Australia v/s Australia...what an achievement
 
Umesh comes back after batsmen are set again.. now watch him pay the price for Dhoni's stupidity
 
Neutralizing Ashwin (which is a clear Aussie Plan ) will be a big psychological blow to India.

Is Dhoni letting things drift once again?

Thought you guys batted poorly tbh, didn't score enough in the middle overs and didn't make use of the wickets in hand at the death.

310 against this ordinary Aussie line up is nothing to be proud of.

And Indian batters were going at around 5, just compare their approach to these two batsmen..... They even had to pull the team out of trouble after fall of two early wickets. Yet scoring at 6
 
If the remaining game's pitches are going to be like this one at WACA, we should include Rishi Dhawan in place of Ashwin.
 
This is impressive from Australia. Singles almost every ball with the boundary coming easily too.

ODI cricket made simple.
 
Mr Analyst, I have followed many of your analysis and sad to say you are not very good at analyzing the game, India will win this, see you after the game :najam

Now where are you?

India had the dream start with ball and still match is not even close. Not even difficult for the Aussie batters.
 
Ok Kohli is on now.. Why replace Jadeja when he's bowling decent enough.. Yadav and Jadeja is the combination to go with..
 
Always said 150 off 150 is a match winning effort in todays day and age (especially on flat pattas)
 
Guys in terms of skill Aussies are superior team , lets accept that.

They have won 5 WC out of 11 times. Made finals 7 times .

Woh to hai.

Part of the reason is because the Australians play sensible cricket and use their deep line-up.

India in the first place has only 5 bowlers and are making incompetents bowl.

Australia had backup.

On top of that India insist on using only 4 or 5 batsmen when the other side has 8 classy ODI batters.

What do you think will happen? It's not just a matter of skills, even if our players are better we will lose if they have so many more shots at getting it right and so much more back-up when someone has an off day.
 
Australia will win with 5 overs to spare.. shame on our bowling

Bhai plz.

For the sake of our country's cricket, don't keep blaming innocent bowlers for a situation created by selfish batsmen who want records and/or idiot strategists stuck in 1990 when 300 was winning.
 
Chances have been squandered by India and now they suffer. Bailey was gone first ball and there were 3 run out chances.
 
The pacers have been pretty decent up till now just the spinners have given a lot away.

This is an illusion.

Even if he was out, consider there are still 5 guys who can win a match. Maxwell, Marsh, Faulkner, Wade, Smith. One of those would still have done it.
 
coast to victory? WOW.. Look at the records and you'll see that 300 hasn't been chased that many times in AUS. 309 is a special score on a two paced pitch

Very special score indeed. aussies struggling to get half of it.

Other way around, India need less classy batsmen (technical) batsmen and more hacks like Aus.
