[HamzaSaeen]

dhawan is key here

 

[Steynremover]

 

[HamzaSaeen]

what a cover drive that was! right out the meat!

 

[battler]

this, my friends, is an indication of what is coming up on June 15th. (just replace aussies with Pak)

Don't worry even if u restrict us to a low score.ur batsmen will make bhuvi and yadav look like mcgrath and marshall re-incarnated

 

[Sandeep]

There isn't much technical problem to be honest.. Batsmen playing too many casual shots

 

[Mohsin]

Don't worry, by thelaw of averages the indian bowling will RIIIP through Australia

well, that is inevitable.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

looking at aussies awful batting (probably even worse than ours ATM), India has an outside chance.

Not really,if the pitch was a turner then yes but not on this type of patta.yes it is a patta,the batsmen have got out playing reckless strokes.pretty sure we are losing this one!

Does it matter even if we lose this, honestly?

doesn't look like a phatta to me, the bowlers seamed and swung it quite nicely. remains to be seen whether your trundlers can kill aussie lineup or no

 

[Aman]

Rainas dismissal was material... Definitely NOT better than Duminy, Raina is technically flawed.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

^technically Duminy may be superior but at the end runs count most and Raina has left Duminy way behind in that regard!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

drinks...

 

[Energetic]

Cannot believe this Indian team is number 1 in ODIs. They lost a series at home to Pakistan, knocked out of the CB series and Asia Cup losing to a minnow Bangladesh and cannot play well on seaming pitches. They are only ranked there because they play far more games than anybody else and had someone like Pakistan got to play as many games, they would've been ranked ahead of India.

Watson and Warner will destroy India

 

[IMMY69]

Skysports3 - aerobics Oz style!!! Much more interesting and pleasing on the eye

 

[Aman]

Is anyone else bored? I literally fell asleep watching the game... Maybe its the dead atmosphere

Yawn!! These warm up games are a bit degrading!!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

I hope Pakistani team is watching this- because they will need to use the short ball specially against India.

 

[battler]

On the contrary a loss might actually be a good wake up call for our ftb's

 

[Aman]

Yawn!! These warm up games are a bit degrading!!

If there was some quality I would have watched it but its pretty ordinary cricket all round... Don't get me started on wades keeping...

 

[Aman]

LMAO the way Ganguly and Sunny were raving on about Dhawan I thought he would of made 50 by now

 

[Mamoon]

FTBs getting bullied by junk like Johnson lol.

 

[Aman]

WI-SL game looks far more interesting

 

[HamzaSaeen]

FTBs getting bullied by junk like Johnson lol.

I thought you rated the Indian lineup very highly and their team as true no.1s, now they are FTBs?

Saeen to Saeen, Saeen ki batting line be Saeen...

Tbh there isn't really a dominant team just a bunch of decent teams.

Is it time Clarke retired from odis's to focus on test cricket?

Through one my cuzin PC who is in UK so getting the stream through his PC.

 

[Madplayer]

What an ODI player dhoni is!

 

[Mamoon]

Most of the wickets in ODIs these days are batting oriented and nobody gets more 300+ scores than India and hence they still remain the best ODI outfit.

But they are still FTB

Time for lot of guys to retire i am expecting jaya or sanga to be retired too after this CT.

fair enough.

 

[PTI tsunami]

What score is it guys I'm at work

 

[HamzaSaeen]

What score is it guys I'm at work

India 84/5.

 

[WebGuru]

Kohli is better batsman thn Chandimal but TBH Chandimal is a far better player thn Kohli outside SC

 

[PTI tsunami]

India 84/5.

Thanks that's made my day

 

[WebGuru]

Dhoni saving India again, on 26 from 21.

 

[WebGuru]

Why didn't india selected Rahane or Pujara for CT? They are fae better thn player thn this T20 player Vijay

 

[adarsh_bang]

Vijay M is one hell of a paindu player. Now that uncle Srini has gone, I guess the Indian team shall get the respite from such useless players.

Aameen my brother, never ever liked this guy.. wasting space, guy is a sitting duck against quality attacks. Sick of this csk bias in national team selections

 

[WebGuru]

So many wides in this over...

 

[WebGuru]

3 wides in this over

 

[adarsh_bang]

I hope Pakistani team is watching this- because they will need to use the short ball specially against India.

you think they dont know that already? pakistan peppered us with short pitch earlier this year, ofcourse when they pitched up they hit the timber ever so often, but the whole world knows about our short pitch woes

 

[Mamoon]

Why is Watson so frustrated all the time?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

obviously they know that- but there is some doubt regarding pacer selection and this match should make it certain that Junaid and Irfan will be confirmed starters with Asad Ali.

 

[badxhah]

From the look of things and usual English conditions..batting first will be difficult for the first 15 overs esp for Asian teams...after that things will start to ease out.

 

[Madplayer]

Too damn boring for my liking. Ima watch a movie instead.

 

[Mamoon]

Marsh is an ordinary bowler but has good batting prowess.

 

[WebGuru]

It's in his nature...

 

[WebGuru]

I know india play spin much better and australia don't have a quality spinner but it's a warm up game so australia should give Doherty a run.

 

[WebGuru]

DK made me laugh lol

 

[Sandeep]

Manju getting excited for a four )

 

[HamzaSaeen]

slowly but surely India rebuilding...

 

[Sandeep]

I'm loving Audtralian strategy.. Not letting India a slighter! Continuing with the endless pace strategy..

 

[Sandeep]

Ohh!! That hurt

 

[WebGuru]

Isn't it look strange that Shaun Marsh is selected for Ashes but not for CT? He is not that bad in limited overs they should have picked him.

 

[WebGuru]

Head to Head in ODI's: Australia 64, India 37, NR 8

 

[Sandeep]

Additionally, he'd have got the hang of English conditions even before the tour started

Yea but that make sense don't know what's wrong with Australian selection these days.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

to score a ton, last ten over India can score 100 +

 

[HamzaSaeen]

looks like aussie selectors took tips from our selectors

 

[Sandeep]

they are school teachers, ask the players to do homework! What more do you expect? )

 

[WebGuru]

I still remember the days when guys like Hodge were unable to get into the playing 11 even after performing in domestic level got to feel for those guys they played in wrong era.

Do they offer chocolates and ice cream if you complete your work?

Exactly and now we have Steven Smith the next Aussie star in all formats

 

[Sandeep]

lol! too funny... Realistically, I'd have India to score 200 and have the bowlers to take 3-4 good wickets before Australia finish this off to gain some kind of practice and confidence

 

[WebGuru]

Keep it secret man...It's our secret plan to desultory every top team...

 

[WebGuru]

Oh yea let's see how much he will improve Root is doing some nice stuff for Eng

 

[Sandeep]

they'd not let you fail even if you are a brainless stupid like Steven Smith )
