Looking forward to this, don't expect much from India, I expect Aus to bowl them out for under 300 and chase it

 

[Suleiman]

This is going to be fun. Will tell us if India truly are top 3 contenders for the cup, by not necessarily winning but being competitive. Will show whether the other 2 subcontinental teams should be worried about the conditions/pitches for ODIs in Aus based on how India performs here.

 

[Sadevdesai]

Execpt for US all other top tier countries team is playing some Cricket !!!!! Sad.

 

[Bhaijaan]

India are going to get flogged. Overrated bunch of rockstars.

 

[Swanny]

Will aus get another bonus point ?

What ??? )

These are the stats of SL,PAK and IND , against Australia in Australia for last 5 years.

SL - won 8 , lost 6
IND - won 1, lost 3
PAK - won 0, lost 5

SL have dominated Aussies in Australia during the last 5 years or so.

Team's changed a lot in the last 5 years, and I wasn't implying that India is superior to Pak or SL against Australia. It's the only Asian team playing in Aus prior the world cup where the majority of the tournament is held, so whether or not their batsmen struggle against the conditions or not will give us a good idea of what to expect of the conditions/pitch (e.g. everyone was expecting green tops for the tests and they turned out to be roads).

Well, we can certainly get an idea about how the pitches behave. But the performance of the Indian ftbs has no bearing on how SL/PAK will play in the WC.

Its because Australia don't care about matches with Sri Lanka.

Lankan fan accusing other teams of being ftbs.

 

[Energetic]

2 top ODI teams. Can't believe I'm actually looking forward to this. The England game was boring and one-sided.

 

[desi_launda]

hope it's a repeat of India-Australia 2013 ODI series

 

[habibi hayya]

Hope India gets trashed. It's a travesty that they have spent 30 days practicing in Australia ahead of the WC. ICC should be ashamed for blatant favoritism.

 

[Zeshan547]

Sandhu is playing, let's see is he just indian trundler by origin or is also similar bowling wise as well, it will be biggest suprise for of to see a world class indian origin fast bowler after kapil, what you guys think of him guys?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Gurinder Sandhu gets his Aussie cap, Sandhu will get thrashed. India chooses to bat, India need to score well above 320 to have any chance

 

[Zeshan547]

Umesh over Ishant, recipe of disaster? I think umesh single handedly gonna cost Ind this match with his super fast super accurate bowling.

 

[Bilal7]

Will be interesting if Starc bowls with the ball swinging.

 

[Bilal7]

Umesh is a run-leaking machine. David Warner must be licking his lips.

Ishant and jadeja are injured.

bowled quite well in last 2 odi series on flat pattas

 

[Swanny]

Malcom umesh playing

 

[Bilal7]

Expecting a big performance from Dhawan. He hasn't scored in a while.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

to end Sandhu's career

 

[Zeshan547]

What you expecting from Sandhu?

 

[cricket geek]

onus on our bowlers to defend the match,lets see what happens.

 

[habibi hayya]

Sandhu born in 1993. I feel old.

 

[Zeshan547]

Dude you came out with some random crap so I just played along with some more random crap.

nehlay pay dehla?

 

[wrongun]

It's going to be hilarious if the best Indian quick on the park is playing for Australia.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Sandhu born in 1993. I feel old.

One of the Afghan players for the world cup was born in 1996. I think it is time for me to give up on that hope of a test cap

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

that looked out

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

hahahahaha gone

 

[NZcricketfan]

A double century looking a bit more difficult here ain't it *****

 

[habibi hayya]

Dhawan out two times in three balls. LOL

 

[NZcricketfan]

no hit is a banned word

 

[Bilal7]

Come on Dhawan, that was poor.

 

[NZcricketfan]

What do you expect. They lost to us 4-0.

 

[dhump]

Dhawan the hack always looked like a rabbit in the middle.

 

[Bilal7]

Kohli hiding from the new ball. Not good stuff.

 

[habibi hayya]

Starc is gonna be deadly during WC

 

[Bilal7]

What do you expect. They lost to us 4-0.

You guys are not exactly Bangladesh.

 

[NZcricketfan]

You guys are not exactly Bangladesh.

Outside NZ we are bangladesh

 

[Justcrazy]

Starc is a different bowler in shorter formats

 

[Batman_DB]

dhawan

 

[Bilal7]

Come what may, Virat Kohli is weak against swing.

 

[Bilal7]

Outside NZ we are bangladesh

So we just drew a test series against Bangladesh?

 

[NZcricketfan]

I think India might come last in this series

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahane can easily open also , why not use him as opener ? Get in Binny as a floater.

 

[Batman_DB]

virat batted at no4 in the last series also he said due to MSD's absence the middle order was weak so wanted to stay at no4 but whats the reason now? or its a long term thing we might see him no4 regularly

 

[habibi hayya]

Sharma needs to lose a good 10 pounds...









From his face

 

[Bilal7]

Why are the Indians cheering their batsmen being exposed by STarc?

 

[Bilal7]

virat batted at no4 in the last series also he said due to MSD's absence the middle order was weak so wanted to stay at no4 but whats the reason now? or its a long term thing we might see him no4 regularly

The team management realised his weakness against swing. That is the reason.

 

[Bilal7]

India could have easily been 3 down by now.

 

[Justcrazy]

15 / 1

3 overs

 

[wrongun]

I'd love to see Starc bowl like this with the red ball.

Half worried Starc is peaking too early, WC final is months away.

 

[habibi hayya]

Starc deserves another wicket

 

[Batman_DB]

rockstar rohit

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

what a shot

 

[dhump]

some good shots by rohit

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharma has woken up

 

[habibi hayya]

Nice support for India at the stadium

 

[dhump]

Cummins dont look that fast he is bowling over 145ks...wow.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a shot!


WHAT A SHOT!


W-H-A-T A S-H-O-T!




#talent

 

[Anfield]

India probably trying all three openers at the order to see who should be opening in WC.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Rahani is looking ugly, Rohit is class

 

[Justcrazy]

29 / 1

5 overs

 

[Thivagar]

no hit is a banned word

Rockstar will also be banned soon.

Kohli not coming early ?

 

[Bilal7]

Lol. Even Australian-Indians are trundlers.

 

[Bilal7]

Rockstar will also be banned soon.

Kohli not coming early ?

With the ball swinging? Nope.

 

[battler]

Sandhu an other trundler from the Indian stable

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Good over from Sandhu, looks really slow compared to Cummins and Starc

 

[dhump]

Sandhu an other trundler from the Indian stable

Exactly what I was thinking big man but not crossing 135k.

 

[Batman_DB]

sandhu bowling at mid 130s
