Australia vs India | Tri-Series | 26th January, 2015 | SCG

[GLORY OF '92]

Can India end their run of defeats?

 

[Sadevdesai]

I don't think the Indians can win any of the two remaing matches. The die is cast, the team is weak and in a real transition, anything can happen in a game of Cricket, mind you, but very few will wager in favor of the Indians. To reload before the 2015 WC, not possible. Injuries and long Australian Tour has taken it's toll. The match against us will tell us a lot about BOTH the teams. If Ajmal can join the team then we should be favored, naturally. In the end though, the Australians will win the whole thing .... I hope not. But facts are facts,
and no way to hide the obvious. They are playing at home and other than Clarke everyone seem to be fit. In fact, they have problem of who to pick !!! Should be fun .... The Final will between Australia and SA or NZ.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Playing Rayadu, Axar, Umesh is a recipe for defeat.

 

[Romali_rotti]

India should just use these matches as practice to better their game for the WC that is all.. But horrible bowling for India I must say maybe even Bangladesh might be on par with us, quite sad..

 

[Random Aussie]

I think Indian team management got it wrong in the first two games, they experimented sure, but I think they should have experimented later in the series. Cos now they have been on tour for a while and I am not sure when they last won a game of cricket. Losing is a habit.

 

[Swanny]

A rain delay !!

 

[Random Aussie]

Usually they show old highlights during a rain delay. Channel 9 seem to be under the delusion we really want to watch their commentators talking, as if inflicting them on the viewers during a game wasn't brutal enough.

It's the batting that last the England match and even for the Australian match apart from Sharma and Raina they were clueless.

Bowlers did fine!

 

[axl100mph]

Channel 9 is second only to sky with their filler segments. Atleast u get updated while all the talking is hoing on. Watching recent highlights that r engrained in the head really annoys me. Plus It gives me the feeling that the match is far off frm starting

 

[Random Aussie]

They used to show matches from the 80s, it was great!

 

[habibi hayya]

Aussie win toss and will bowl first.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ishant Sharma is back, it's always nice to watch him pick wickets. Expecting some boom boom batting from Mitch Marsh

 

[Justcrazy]

Teams are out now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Starc on now.

 

[Random Aussie]

Can't believe they trotted out an indigenous Australian on Australia Day for a token ceremony. "Hey guys lets all celebrate the day you all came and took this country from us". Cheers Uncle Tom.

 

[Sandeep]

Dhawan the moron

 

[axl100mph]

Gotta agree with, rare events always have that charm

 

[desi_launda]

Perfect conditions for Hazelwood and Starc

 

[Justcrazy]

India need to built a good start , keep wickets in hand.

 

[desi_launda]

Lol Hazelwood 3 wides

 

[Zeshan547]

Dhawan is even worse than pak openers, and you have to very pathetic to earn such a compliment.

 

[desi_launda]

Pitch has more life than the tests

 

[Justcrazy]

Its drizzling , and also dark . Match likely to be stopped again.

 

[desi_launda]

Crowd cheers loudly Dhawan off the mark

 

[Justcrazy]

Ripper from hazelwood.

 

[axl100mph]

Why is the british invasion celebrated? Isnt it ironic that on one hand u hv this rivalry with britan but then u velebrate their invasion

 

[axl100mph]

Celebrate*

 

[Sadevdesai]

Want to bet who will be the guy OUT ???? THE ONE .... of course !!!!!

 

[Swanny]

Arent most aussis of today descended from the british ?

 

[Gilly]

Can't believe they trotted out an indigenous Australian on Australia Day for a token ceremony. "Hey guys lets all celebrate the day you all came and took this country from us". Cheers Uncle Tom.

For someone who calls himself Australian you seem to have little knowledge of our history past and present.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Match will be called off

 

[Convict]

Have a look at Australian demographics

 

[Random Aussie]

I am dead certain I know more about it than you. I think the irony of a CA puppet accusing me of not being genuine won't be lost on the posters here.

I'm not accusing you of having little knowledge of Australian history RA, you are demonstrating it.

 

[Convict]

Most Noongars I've spoken to aren't aren't insulted by Australia Day at all

Lol post of the week.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhawan to face Strac.

 

[Justcrazy]

Revised match conditions. A bowler can bowl a maximum of nine overs. First powerplay is for nine overs, the second will be four overs.

That's great, good for you.

 

[habibi hayya]

Amazing support for India. Very impressive.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Starc bowling on Dhawan's pads

 

[desi_launda]

Dhawan has amassed 3 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahane

 

[Justcrazy]

No wickets down after 5 overs , good stuff

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Better start for India

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shikhar Dhawan gone

 

[Justcrazy]

24 / 0

[habibi hayya]

Lol dhawan....exposed to be a true FTB

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies would like some more wickets here

 

[leatherface58]

Dhawan worse than Behardien IMO.

 

[Random Aussie]

Dhawan has had an epic bad tour

 

[desi_launda]

121 kmph by Marsh

 

[OZGOD]

Dhawan two short of what would have been an epic 10

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

by Rayudu

 

[desi_launda]

Hackudu comes from the land of VVS Laxman and Azharuddin

 

[desi_launda]

Indian section riling the Aussie players

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Indian supporters giving it back to Warner #bleedblue

Booing aggressively Indians, Warner waving like a gentleman

 

[Abhilash93]

One hack gone, one more to go.

 

[Madplayer]

im afraid india have spent too much time in Australia before the world cup for their own liking

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Rayudu looks set for a big one

 

[leatherface58]

Dhawan has had an epic bad tour

He has had quite a few of those in recent times.

 

[desi_launda]

Rayudu SR 100+

 

[desi_launda]

He has had quite a few of those in recent times.

those 2 innings that u guys let him score(a 90 and a 100) is harming us till date.

 

[desi_launda]

Doherty in

 

[f.b.m]

He has had quite a few of those in recent times.

That might happen every now and again if you're a rubbish batsman.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good batting by this two here.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Raydu gone, Marsh picks up a wicket, just when Ganguly was saying with his pace won't trouble Indians. Jinxed him

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Now the real match begins

 

[Justcrazy]

2 down

 

[mithun_minhas]

Well played Rayadu

Showed the intent.

 

[RexRex]

Can't they play normal shots ? So weird.

 

[Suleiman]

Rayudu, Dhawan and Bunny are really tainting the Indian batting order.

 

[desi_launda]

warner riling the indian supporters now

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Enter the Dragon

 

[Justcrazy]

needs to get himself in , lots of overs left

 

[Saurav]

Can't believe Rayudu is in WC squad.That series vs SL really helped him

 

[vandokkum]

I remember the 50k plus crowds that used to come out regularly for odis in Australia... sad sight these days.. specially when you see more than half the crowd are Indian supporters.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Someone should tell Rahane that he can take singles too.

This is the reason he struggles in odi format.

 

[IAJ]

Rayudu, Dhawan and Bunny are really tainting the Indian batting order.

Only trolling, they will peak at right time, still some time to the WC.

Crazy atmosphere out there, Pak v India should have been played in Sydney.
