[kron]

Cmon india. We want to see run machine sriaj bowl.

 

[globetrotter]

Common India we need 2 quick wkts

 

[Devadwal]

Spinners are not bowling well

 

[kron]

Last 5 overs been good for aus these 2 need to keep going no risk required

Need siraj bowling. Run machine will give 10 an over

Why isn't he bowling lol.

 

[soso_killer]

Hmmm. Like what will Labu do if settled?

He's a meaningless player this wc

Exactly, why is he giving him easy singles then?

 

[Marooned]

Sky is the most useless batsman in this tournament surely?
Him and kl's knock lol was lol worthy. Most boring couple ever.

They are a couple?

 

[rhony]

One more wicket. Get Maxi in against Kuldeep

 

[Buffet]

Poor captaincy by Rohit here, get long-on up. Can't allow Labuschagne to settle by giving easy singles. Force him to play over the top, there's still enough runs to play with. Secondly, his role is to bat deep. I doubt he'll take the risks and advance down the wicket or hit through the top.

Yah, try to get a wicket here rather than allowing easy singles. Aus will be very happy to take 4 runs an over for the next 15 overs.

 

[ChTab]

Head is key here

 

[7sins]

Truthfully, he looks like a walking wicket.

Literally for the reasons Punter just described, backfoot attacking play.

He's almost chopped on already and is inviting the ball on, exposing his stumps - and he hasn't exerted any pressure as a the trade-off.

He don't need to play a cute innings an ugly big knock will take Australia through

 

[Marooned]

Exactly, why is he giving him easy singles then?

Charity. Is humanity completely dead?

 

[Sycamore]

Is it me or spinners not doing anything early today ?

 

[kron]

Spinners are not bowling well

If it doesn't turn both are quite useless.

 

[MP2011]

Too many easy singles

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Spinners are not bowling well

They aren’t taking any risk at all right now,

 

[kron]

They are a couple?

Couple of batsmen lol

 

[rhony]

Yah, try to get a wicket here rather than allowing easy singles. Aus will be very happy to take 4 runs an over for the next 15 overs.

He will restrict boundaries. Will need a cushion when Siraj comes back later. That's a big headache. With no swing and with dew not sure what Siraj will do

 

[Devadwal]

Already match winning partnership .30*

 

[Buffet]

Spinners are not doing much. Aus should get these runs.

 

[Sunzi]

He don't need to play a cute innings an ugly big knock will take Australia through

Of course, but playing the way he's playing, it's difficult to put together a meaningful innings when you look like getting out to most balls!

 

[rhony]

Primary focus seems to be to get as many spinners over as possible with minimal RR damage before dew sets in

 

[Ahmed216]

If Aus lose this their media will crucify Smith

 

[kron]

Australia strike rotation is the best.

Sub continent t3ams can never do this. They will struggle. Fitness.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Ind need to slow down Aus RR… tight bowling needed.

 

[7sins]

Good going for Australia need this for next 15 overs atleast

 

[shortbread]

Australia just needs to apply common sense

 

[Buffet]

He will restrict boundaries. Will need a cushion when Siraj comes back later. That's a big headache. With no swing and with dew not sure what Siraj will do

You can't hide him for 10 overs when score is only 240.

Game is drifting away from India. Longer these two bat, easier it will get for Aus. Run rate is not an issue here.

 

[kron]

If Aus lose this their media will crucify Smith

Was it hitting stumps though? Cause in live action it looked clean out

 

[soso_killer]

Shouldn't long-off be up for Jadeja against Head? The ball is turning in. Would be brave of him to play against the spin by hitting over mid-off. I don't get this field placement to either bat

 

[Mas-LFC]

should have played Kishan instead of SKY who is a useless ODI Player, like a fish out of the pond.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Oooo just short

 

[Ahmed216]

Was it hitting stumps though? Cause in live action it looked clean out

Yes it was hitting the stumps but impact was outside off

 

[Usman Chadda]

granted the deliveries they got the wickets were'nt flash....but they also bowled some absolute pearlers that were deserving of wickets....possibly you missed those?

You comment on balls that took wickets, not the plays and misses.

First time watching cricket kid?

 

[Ali Active]

Kuldeep doesnt look threatining

 

[Buffet]

Required rate is 4.5 runs per over so taking wickets are only way for India to win here.

 

[Sunzi]

Head puts Kuldeep in the stand.

 

[Devadwal]

Done and dusted

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Six by head

 

[Ali Active]

Is it me or spinners not doing anything early today ?

Ball is not spinning

 

[kron]

Yes it was hitting the stumps but impact was outside off

What an idiot. He always reviews and now in a final he doesn't

 

[kron]

There is a reason why I dont rate kuldeep. He cowers when he is hit.

 

[Buffet]

Head is going to win this game. Spinners are not effective and Only Bumrah has bowled well so far.

 

[Ali Active]

Done and dusted

Your jinx might not work today

 

[NeVerMind]

Worth giving Siraj a bowl here...

 

[Usman Chadda]

India needs to keep picking wickets here, or Australia will run away with this.

 

[7sins]

Head and labu please don't throw your wickets keep going for next 15 overs

 

[Sunzi]

Siraj on.

Great stop by Virat. Looked crunched through cover.

 

[Markhor]

Quick sidebar while there's a lull - this is only my opinion but nothing beats an ICC tournament final in front of a packed house between two well matched teams representing their nations.

I know the money's in T20 leagues but could care less about Franchise A vs Franchise B featuring the usual brigade of washed up circuit pros.

 

[rhony]

Nice patch of play for the aussies this. India needs a wicket in the next couple of overs

 

[OldWarHorse]

Yeah it's going to be plain sailings for here on. We needed 280/300 here

 

[kron]

Run machine
Run machine
Run machine

Yessss cmon aus

 

[hitthestump]

Run machine is on.

This is probably the period which decides the game.

One wicket makes India favourites again.

 

[heddie19]

A little bit of dew coming in

 

[kron]

Siraj lol. Almost a 4 if it wasn't for the fielder.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

with your ohter eye open, you still did'nt comment on the numerious dudes commenting on the 'everything is fixed' or suspicious...i am commenting on it...its a free world and if you didnt like....tough titties...try thinking - might even leapfrog a few stops on the evo ladder....

How many times each poster commented about that? And how many times are you doing in this thread? Compare it and then come back. And you are not even quoting their post and going on and on about it like a loser.

Give him a kit kat. 2 balls. No runs. Wow

 

[7sins]

A little bit of dew coming in

According to commentator?

 

[Sycamore]

Australia just need to watch out for the slower ones now

 

[Sunzi]

Carved through point by Head.

Bro leave it. Just watch the game.

 

[Ali T]

Head looking pretty good

I'd take any two international sides playing each other than bombay playing the perth ....they all look the same in their paint spill inspired uniforms, screeaching commies and the whole mix

 

[rhony]

Good over spoiled by that boundary

 

[7sins]

149 needed common labu head stay on the wicket for next 15 overs

 

[Marooned]

Yeah it's going to be plain sailings for here on. We needed 280/300 here

3 wickets are enough to keep India in it right until the end. Infact they are still favourites.

 

[kron]

Carved through point by Head.

Run machine number 1. Lumber 1

How is this guy lumber 1? He was the lumber 1 bowler lol

 

[Buffet]

Ball is skidding now and coming easily on bat. Dew is here.


Great toss to win for Aus.

 

[BaaliSoda]

How I wish we had Ashwin instead of Siraj.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

India bowled some peach deliveries but got 2 wickets on crap balls and no review from Smith gave them for 3rd wicket.

 

[heddie19]

According to commentator?

Yes, I haven't touched the grass myself

 

[rhony]

This is exactly like Kohli and Rahul partnership. Labu playing Rahuls role

 

[7sins]

Yes, I haven't touched the grass myself

I wanted to say according to nervous Indian fans or commentator

 

[heddie19]

This is exactly like Kohli and Rahul partnership. Labu playing Rahuls role

They can afford it, they know what run to get.

 

[kron]

Siraj reminds me of the 90s indian bowlers. Blinding bowling with no plan

 

[Devadwal]

One sided match now

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is exactly like Kohli and Rahul partnership. Labu playing Rahuls role

Head is destructive, they let him bat for 60-odd balls, might aswell close up shop and go home.

 

[7sins]

148 need with 33 overs no rrr pressure at all

 

[heddie19]

I wanted to say according to nervous Indian fans or commentator

It wasn't an indian who said that. It was Punter or some other gora.

 

[Ozeirk]

Lol, I am loving this. Not sure why my mind keeps on going to the last worldcup final where Indians were cheering England like they are still a colony lol

 

[kingusama92]

Australians don't really have to do anything silly. Just keep ticking the score over.
