Australia v India | 3rd ODI | Canberra | 2 December | Match Discussion

[MP2011]

Doesn’t have that 4th gear, I reckon.

He had it but he is now totally past those heady days of his earlier years.

He'll still score runs as he is so good but not at the rate he used to do earlier.

 

[saeed5646]

First check the scoreboard,all of the guys you mentioned were there.

I checked it .Nowadays there are plenty of cricket between big 3 .Can you provide link for aus vs England odi series in aus

 

[Rana]

One more wicket and they will be in the tail

 

[BreadPakoda]

Pak in 2017 atleast won one ODI

India won the series in 2018.

 

[Aman]

India look toothless without Rohit.

He's the one who would usually lay a foundation for India.

He scores 100s for fun against Aus.

 

[NoBallZombie]

Agar is so much like Imad Wasim. Just the same darting bowls on the pads.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

jai Viru at crease

 

[BreadPakoda]

He's the one who would usually lay a foundation for India.

He scores 100s for fun against Aus.

He wouldn't have made much of a difference here. The gap between the two teams in these conditions is huge.

 

[watson367]

Josh Hazlewood - averaging 23.67 this series yet Wasim Akram would be smashed here because Bumrah failed?

But Bumrah is ATG best bowler. Wasim, McGrath, Marshall combined can't match him.

 

[saeed5646]

India won the series in 2018.

With or without smith ,warner ?they both were their in 2017 series

 

[tyron_woodley]

LOL.yeah.But at the same time what do Indians know about fast bowling.Fast bowling is not their cup of tea

Our fast bowling is better than yours.

 

[Darkrai]

Gill looked very good.

 

[BreadPakoda]

With or without smith ,warner ?��they both were their in 2017 series

Pakistan can't win a series even against Australia C or D and you know that .

 

[Kingpin786]

India won the series in 2018.

Yup won against Aus C team and now struggling against their B team

 

[Mobashir]

One more wicket and they will be in the tail

I tought they sent tailenders after Gills wicket.

 

[MP2011]

Gill looked very good.

Unfortunately for us, Kohli is totally blind to see that.

 

[tyron_woodley]

I told you all Rohit was India's best batsmen and captain.

Has been for a while.

Pretty much this. We suck without Rohit. He sets the tone. And Bhuvi. Mayank should t have been dropped though.

 

[angrypathan]

I checked it .Nowadays there are plenty of cricket between big 3 .Can you provide link for aus vs England odi series in aus

Search for England vs Australia ODI series January 2018. Australia's batting was at full strength but they rotated their bowlers a bit. However Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc all featured at some point and all 3 played some games in the series. England won 4-1

 

[Mobashir]

Our fast bowling is better than yours.

What about the toss today?
Why India can't score as much as Aussies do?

 

[andy0204]

I checked it .Nowadays there are plenty of cricket between big 3 .Can you provide link for aus vs England odi series in aus

There is one player missing in each match except 3rd odi but they were almost full strength.

 

[Rana]

I tought they sent tailenders after Gills wicket.

Iyer does bat like a tailender tbf

 

[BreadPakoda]

That is true for Pakistan but aus smash india when they play full strength team ����

At their home, they do. There is no denying that.

 

[tyron_woodley]

What about the toss today?
Why India can't score as much as Aussies do?

Because no Rohit baccha. Rohit is key. We suck without Rohit. Bhuvi along with Shami and bumrah are our main bowlers.

 

[tyron_woodley]

But Bumrah is ATG best bowler. Wasim, McGrath, Marshall combined can't match him.

Keep laughing. One day you will realise that past greats would be fodder in modern batting friendly era.

 

[angrypathan]

Was hoping Abbott would have gained some pace in his years out of the team, but he's still in the low to mid 130s, disappointing. Brilliant fielding by Green

 

[BreadPakoda]

Australia is very tough to beat at home but this has been an embarrassing mismatch. Agree that India doesn't have Rohit and Bhuvi, but when will the rest step up? When will the likes of Rahul, Agarwal, and Iyer play career defining innings?

 

[Rana]

Any news on Warner? Will he play the Test series?

 

[Raja111]

With Thakur in the lineup , India would need atleast 350 to put up a fight.

 

[Rana]

They save it all for the IPL

 

[Mobashir]

Wow that piece of fielding by Green. Superb

 

[saeed5646]

There is one player missing in each match except 3rd odi but they were almost full strength.

Link?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rahul has been fooling us for quite a long time.
Hadd hai.

No bro. He has slapped everyone with his batting.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Australia is very tough to beat at home but this has been an embarrassing mismatch. Agree that India doesn't have Rohit and Bhuvi, but when will the rest step up? When will the likes of Rahul, Agarwal, and Iyer play career defining innings?

Seems like they have struggled in odi without key players. Need to improve alot. Rahul Mayank and Iyer aren't good enough at the moment to win in Australia in odi format.

 

[sindhiboy]

This innings will show what hardik is made of

 

[angrypathan]

Any news on Warner? Will he play the Test series?

50/50 at this stage whether he'll be fit for the first test. Should at least feature from the second though

 

[Rana]

With Thakur in the lineup , India would need atleast 350 to put up a fight.

Looks like Nataranjan will have to bowl with a proper plan as well instead of depending on Yorkers

 

[saeed5646]

Without warner india can choke aus but they need atleast 280

 

[Rana]

Good fielder is Cameron Green

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Let's see how Dhoni haters defend this inning of Pandya.

 

[watson367]

Keep laughing. One day you will realise that past greats would be fodder in modern batting friendly era.

You guys produced a few decent fast bowler and act like the world is going to end. lol this lot are bachay right now.

 

[tyron_woodley]

50/50 at this stage whether he'll be fit for the first test. Should at least feature from the second though

I really hope Warner plays. Good luck to him to recover quickly.

 

[Rana]

Pandya and Jadeja running between the wickets is epic

 

[angrypathan]

Let's see how Dhoni haters defend this inning of Pandya.

To be fair, he's not chasing

 

[MenInG]

Stick to this series only

Don't post nonsense and expect to be allowed to post on Pakpassion

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandya is the key here , needs to bat through here

 

[BreadPakoda]

Seems like they have struggled in odi without key players. Need to improve alot. Rahul Mayank and Iyer aren't good enough at the moment to win in Australia in odi format.

Bro, this dependency on key players has led to the downfall of the Indian team. And in batting we are not even missing a lot of key players - just Sharma.

 

[Ashmal]

Josh Hazlewood - averaging 23.67 this series yet Wasim Akram would be smashed here because Bumrah failed?

But but...India would have scored 500 if they won the toss in the first 2 games

 

[watson367]

who is replacing warner?

 

[tyron_woodley]

But but...India would have scored 500 if they won the toss in the first 2 games

Hazelwood is greater than wasim in Aussie pitches. His bounce helps. He is a bouncy bully. One dimensional twit can't do squat in Asia though.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

To be fair, he's not chasing

They used to criticise Dhoni in every inning lol. Now see how they will remind others about fall of wickets, partnership and rebuilding etc.

 

[Justcrazy]

184 . 5

66 balls more

India would be targeting 270 here

 

[NoBallZombie]

Just curious , is the Babar vs Rahul thread still alive? I watched the whole series to see that "extra gear"

 

[sindhiboy]

who is replacing warner?

Agar.
Marnus labuschagne will open

 

[ethan hunt]

Agar, Abbot, Maxwell, Green.
With Maxwell opening the bowling for Australia on this flat pitch after losing the toss.
India should be doing better vs Australia C.
They can still fight back.

 

[watson367]

pandya with a four

 

[Justcrazy]

Zampa back with 5 men out of the circle.

 

[Rana]

Aussies missing the trick here. They need one wicket and they could restrict india to below 270

 

[saeed5646]

Odi championship is forcing team to play their best 11 .Good job icc

 

[BreadPakoda]

Aussies missing the trick here. They need one wicket and they could restrict india to below 270

Why do you want the match to get over in 30 overs?

 

[Rana]

Why do you want the match to get over in 30 overs?

Lol

You guys have Thakur and Natarajan. These guys will take it deep for India

 

[Justcrazy]

India have a good chance if they get to 270 here and bowl well , pitch will help spin here

 

[BreadPakoda]

Lol

You guys have Thakur and Natarajan. These guys will take it deep for India

Ozzies need to fear the Shardul. Haven't seen Natarajan bowl though.

 

[saeed5646]

Aus intensity has dropped. 280 there for taking

 

[Rana]

Aus intensity has dropped. 280 there for taking

The last 5-6 overs have been poor

Abbott and Maxwell

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

India need to stay on the ball. The match is very much in the balance if Australia lose early wickets or struggle against spin.

Chasing has its own pressure.

Pakistanis' celebrations are a bit premature

Exactly

 

[Rana]

Pakistanis' celebrations are a bit premature

No one is celebrating but Australia batting first on this track would have made 350+

 

[Ab Fan]

Jadeja need to accelerate.

 

[Rana]

You can bowl Zampa all day, he will bowl a long hop every 7-8 balls

 

[Mobashir]

Because no Rohit baccha. Rohit is key. We suck without Rohit. Bhuvi along with Shami and bumrah are our main bowlers.

So just because Rohit Sharma isn,'t playing you can't score big against Abbott, Zampa, Agar, Maxwell, Green?

Why can't you just accept that it isn't easy scoring 370's, 390's everyday and Smith/Maxwell batted brilliantly in the first 2 matches to achieve it?

 

[watson367]

jadeja is my favorite indian cricketer

 

[Rana]

Is it me or Australia are treating this more like a Sunday XI friendly?

 

[MHN1293]

Pandya has been indias best batsmen this series.

 

[sindhiboy]

Pandyas classiest 50

 

[Mobashir]

Is it me or Australia are treating this more like a Sunday XI friendly?

This is what it looks like, especially when they borught back Maxwell to bowl two and now they are bringing Henriques in the 44th overs, Bowling Abbott even if he is going for runs.

 

[watson367]

is kohli going to be available for the test series?

 

[Raja111]

Fake allrounder jadeja is doing what he is known for.
This series has fully exposed his fielding the only thing he was good at. He's neither a decent bowler nor a decent lower order batsman.

can never forget his sword dance vs NZ in the semi final. Even though, the match was far from over.

 

[Justcrazy]

64 runs partnership, one of them has to bat deep.

 

[Justcrazy]

Only first Test.
