"Let's give the Aussies a headache"

 

[ChTab]

Run machine number 1. Lumber 1

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

the same way Babar was #1 for so many years. ICC rankings are joke

 

[7sins]

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

Yeah these need have to score much for the runs just keep taking 4 an overs for next 15 overs

 

[kingusama92]

Dew seems to be coming in a bit. They were running the rope along the ground during the break.

 

[Buffet]

Golden runs from Head here. Already 40, just double it and game is done.

 

[7sins]

Dew is well and truly here

 

[kron]

I never rated babar though because I am not delusional.

Would dew help pacers?

 

[Devadwal]

Head is such a clutch player.

 

[7sins]

Would dew help pacers?

On this pitch without any dew ball would have reversed now with dew not possible

 

[shariqnoor]

Labuschagne just needs to mimic KL Rahul's innings. No need to worry about SR.

 

[Buffet]

Would dew help pacers?

Nah, it will make it easier for batsmen.

 

[7sins]

No risk needed

 

[shah_1]

The match is well poised

India know they are one wicket away from being favorites

 

[Buffet]

It has been a cracking final so far.

Aus 60/40 for me right now.

 

[kingusama92]

Would dew help pacers?

It's possible.

Each bowler is different might be harder to land their slower balls. Definitely becomes challenging for the spinners though.

They just know how to win. Champion Australians.

No matter how good opponents are. In cricket there is only one winner. Australia. India and England are distant second.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Spinners arent doing anything with the ball really. Not looking good for India. Least keep it tight and increase RR.

 

[IAJ]

Head is such a clutch player.

Tu ohnu nazr laga ke hi rawen ga

 

[Asad T]

A bit of moisture on the grass?

Great toss to win for Aussies then

They just won test final against India this year too

 

[Thephenom]

A player scorers lots of runs he goes up the rankings, simple mathematics, you can’t blame the maths just because you don’t rate the batsmen

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

if India cant get one or two within the next 15 runs, its game over...

 

[IAJ]

Increase RR? Have you posted 340 here? Wickets are key here

 

[kron]

Run machineeeeeee!!!!!
Siraj master of giving runs.

 

[Ali Active]

Pitch has became very quick now

 

[7sins]

Pitch has became very quick now

Because of dew

 

[Buffet]

50 partnership here. Just double it and game is over. Run rate is not an issue.

 

[Ali Active]

Aus are walking this dont see them choking now

 

[Ali Active]

This was indias best chance to win the wc , they somehow messed it up

 

[Buffet]

Aus bats deep so I think 140 odd runs with 7 wickets in hands with dew coming in ,,,,, Aus should get them.

 

[rhony]

Game drifting a bit from Indians. Body language isn't positive wither. Need a spark somewhere.

 

[Buffet]

This was indias best chance to win the wc , they somehow messed it up

What do you mean messed it up? Other team is also there to win and if they play better they should win.

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies are favorites now.

 

[Devadwal]

7 wicket win for Australia

 

[emranabbas]

A bit of moisture on the grass?

bro what camera you using?

 

[Asad T]

Great toss to win for Aussies then

toss would not have made a difference. Rohit said he would have batted first anyway

 

[OMB]

That's what pressure does to you

Clouds your thinking

It think it was wrong advice form his partner

 

[hitthestump]

What do you mean messed it up? Other team is also there to win and if they play better they should win.

Lol let’s not pretend India haven’t cheated shamelessly in this tournament.

They can’t pick and choose the pitches they want in other countries.

 

[Ali Active]

Other team.is there india looked flawless through group stage only to choke in finals

 

[kingusama92]

I think by the 30th over, the dew is going to become quite noticeable.

It's still only a little moist at worst.

 

[Marooned]

Aus bats deep so I think 140 odd runs with 7 wickets in hands with dew coming in ,,,,, Aus should get them.

It's ok we get it . You think Aussies are on track. No need to repeat yourself 1000 times over.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

India 60 short. Rahul and Kohli choked

 

[Mas-LFC]

Australia going well. Without much risk they took 5 runs of that over.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

As I said before congratulations Australia. You thoroughly deserved it after restricting India under 250.

Looks like biggest choker is KLR atleast Kohli and Rohit won 2007 and 2011

 

[OldWarHorse]

We were fortunate Smith didn't review, game would have been over a while ago. We are toothless right now

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Lol let’s not pretend India haven’t cheated shamelessly in this tournament.

where's that Bhag dude? bhag gaya?

 

[Ali Active]

Crowd silenced

 

[Sunzi]

Clubbed over mid-wicket by Head. 4.

 

[Sycamore]

10 more overs of these guys and game will be over. 136 runs needed ATM.

 

[SalimBhai]

One more wicket and it’s game on again

 

[Buffet]

Other team.is there india looked flawless through group stage only to choke in finals

Previous games hardly matters. What matters is who plays better on given day. Aus is not some poor team.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Indian needed to make 280 minimum. Messed it up, this isnt enough. People earlier thought 250 enough. Like come on. Theres dew around. Pitch might be on slower side but it’s not the worse pitch to bat.

 

[rhony]

Dont think pitch is reacting the same way to short balls. That was a gimme ball

 

[OldWarHorse]

Crowd silenced

It's an embarrassing crowd.

 

[ads101]

Come on India. Doubt Australia will even care about another World Cup. It’s sad because it would mean the world to a billion Indians.

 

[rhony]

Rohit needs to bring Jaddu back in.

 

[Ali Active]

I never said aus is a poor team i just stated that it was india's best chance to win the worldcup they still managed to choke

 

[kron]

Siraj is the worst lumber 1 bowler I have ever seen. What a comedy. Platinum level comedy lol.

India sure would regret picking this absolute cannon crap of a bowler. Let's all the pressure go

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

50 for head

 

[shariqnoor]

India just needs 1 wicket within the next 20-30 runs. Maxwell's ability to milk singles and play an ugly inning is not that great compared to his hitting.

 

[Sunzi]

Edged for 4. Streaky.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Come on India. Doubt Australia will even care about another World Cup. It’s sad because it would mean the world to a billion Indians.

yes, it does mean a lot...no doubting that.
However, we will still savour our 100 + medals in the Asian games, being in the top 5 in the commonwealth games, several other success stories...thanks M8

 

[kron]

What a champion player Travis Head. Salute.

 

[Ozeirk]

What's up with this crowd? They never support the opponents achievements. Fours are not being clapped for, 50s are not appreciated. Bitter people

 

[Mas-LFC]

Travis Head looking dangerous. Emotion less player.

 

[kron]

Indian spinners let India down big time here.

 

[Asif321]

Feel sad for Indian team

 

[Ali Active]

Australia are undoubtables kings of cricket

When aus win the game and silence india it wouldn't matter anyway.

 

[Rana]

Australia cruising now

 

[kingusama92]

If these two get the required runs below 100, it's going to be a very tough hill to climb for India.

Until then I think the Indians still have a chance. Need to stay positive and nip a wicket.

 

[Ali Active]

Indian spinners let India down big time here.

Spinners cant do much when there is dew

 

[JattMaula]

Match has already slipped out of our hands.

 

[MP2011]

Head should be MoM

 

[kron]

Australia are undoubtables kings of cricket

Best of the best. What all these Indian fans were saying.
.goat of the goat lol. Best of the best. Top 3 of all time greatest. No great team would have a bowler like siraj

 

[BaaliSoda]

It was nice while it lasted (our winning streak till semis that is).

Aussie have once again proven that “Cometh the hour cometh the big match temperament”.

But I am still very proud of our team for providing great memories (barring this final), just wish team’s think tank would have been a bit more flexible in their thinking of playing eleven for the final.

Be proud of the groundsmen as well. They played for the homeside

Yep which is why there should've been a slip for Kuldeep. With only 240 to defend you gotta just attack for wickets.
