ICC World Cup 2023: India v Australia | Match 5 | Chennai | 08 October | Australia innings

[Rajdeep]

I see lots of empty seats. This can't be attributed to dying interest for cricket in India. Poeple are willing to buy ticket for this match even with double price. I think its the mismanagement by BCCI...they somehow hold onto release of all tickets for some strange reason. This morning Ind v Aus and Ind v Pak tickets on sale. Don't understand this at all.

If Aus get 280+ they'll be happy here.

If they top 320 going to be almost done deal

Lol they won't go past 270

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Australia will score more than 300 and then India will be bowled out for around 220. This is the beginning of a horrific tournament for host side, mark my words. Their good performances at the end of the Asia Cup his the glaring weaknesses this side has.

No one can stop India from reaching semis.. We will lose in semis though

 

[WengerOut]

Crowd is patriotic during the national anthem until they see themselves on the big screen.

Only if it’s New Zealand

 

[MP2011]

India is playing its 150th match today against Australia overall if I am not wrong.

Correct

 

[FollowThru]

All focus on spell of Pat Cummins. Think his spell will decide result of this match.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Can India take their revenge..? All out them on 35

 

[MP2011]

Instead of Rahul, Ishan should have been made to keep

 

[MP2011]

Last time both teams played a WC game at Chennai, it was current Australia opener Marsh's father Geoffrey Marsh was opening for Australia.

 

[mominsaigol]

Clash of the titans

 

[Devadwal]

Instead of Rahul, Ishan should have been made to keep

Yes specially on this track

 

[Hitman]

Up and ready for the entertainment. Go, India!

Kishan is a terrible keeper though

 

[Hitman]

Bumrah strikes!

 

[Rajdeep]

Booom...genuine pace bowling

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bumrah got Mitchell Marsh. Australia is 1 down now.

 

[MP2011]

What a fantastic catch by Kohli!

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Bummmrahhh!!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This monster lineup of theirs is nevrr ending. Gotta keep picking wickets and keep them to 260 for any chance of a win. They are the biggest threat in this Cup. Need to best them and make a statement

 

[U$ofA]

I am not sure if Marsh is the right opener for Aus. They need to find two new ones.

 

[Saj]

Superb catch that by Kohli.

Bumrah has been very impressive so far.

 

[Devadwal]

King watch a catch

 

[MP2011]

Kishan is a terrible keeper though

Rahul isn't any better

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Since last world cup, India and Australia have played 12 matches with both teams winning 6 matches each.
In last 5 years, both teams have won 7 matches each in India.
Wow, exact same record

They are the best visiting side in Indian conditions . Them and the Saffers. England are overrated in these conditions.

 

[Ab Fan]

All hail Bumrah!

 

[mominsaigol]

Bumrah is so class. Pakistani fans, watch, this is the no 1 bowler on the planet.

 

[pratiktc]

Engine room of Aus batting for last decade at crease

 

[Nikhil_cric]

8.8 million watching on Hotstar on a Sunday when most are watching on TV!

Massive numbers .

 

[MP2011]

Keeping fingers crossed but fielding is looking electric after a long long time.

 

[Devadwal]

Superb shot by Smith

1.3 cr now.

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 4 overs, Australia is 11/1.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

This is the best ever catch by Virat Kohli.. I have only seen him dropping catches

 

[MMHS]

This won’t be a 600+ game for sure. Unless it dews heavily, 270 will be competitive - dry, burnt surface, with a little uneven bounce. Very good wicket to be honest, should make the match enjoyable.

 

[mominsaigol]

Smith is class as well

 

[kron]

Bunrah has never dismissed Warner in odi.
Interesting stat

 

[Ahmed216]

Smith is class as well

Very high class. Big match player too

Love wickets like these.

What a shot by Smith.

England vs New Zealand also peaked at 6 million odd and so did Saffers match yesterday . Obviously it's not gonna match numbers of India matches but

 

[BouncerGuy]

That was a smashing shot from smith. Treat to watch this guy bat.

 

[SamNJ]

Bumrah is spitting fire in these very flat conditions.

 

[160KPH]

Are there any updates of when Travis Head is expected to come back? Seems like he adds a really important dimension to this batting lineup.

 

[kron]

High quality bowling
Great batting by smith

 

[castortroy]

Bumrah hardly ever goes for runs. He is bar the best white ball bowler in the world

 

[Devadwal]

Need to get out Smith as soon as

 

[kron]

Bumrah is spitting fire in these very flat conditions.

Wouldn't say flat flat. There is some variable bounce.

 

[Ahmed216]

That was a smashing shot from smith. Treat to watch this guy bat.

Sumptuous drives on both sides of the pitch. Always loved to see his precise batting

 

[castortroy]

Bumrah just bowls such an awkward like for batters.

 

[kron]

Is pandya going to be the man of the tournament and help india win the wc?

 

[160KPH]

This pitch is two paced. The medium pacers will be really good on this pitch. Gonna be interested to see how Pandya will bowl here.

 

[Kriketer]

Good line by Indian bowlers so far

 

[MP2011]

Maiden over from Siraj

 

[SamNJ]

Maiden from Siraj. Tight bowling.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Fantastic bowling.

 

[kron]

Looks extremely hot. India fans what's the weather like? Is it an advantage to be bowling second as the heat seems to get to the players?

I know chennai is famous for being hot.

Brilliant display of bowling in such conditions.

Outstanding athletes. India has become really professional. If they sort out their batting order they could be a force.

 

[160KPH]

Pandya on early. I expect him to be effective here but let’s see how Australia goes about it

 

[Ahmed216]

Too early for hardik on a slow deck

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Dropped

If it's too hot pitch might grip later on

 

[kron]

If it's too hot pitch might grip later on

You mean there will be turn,?

 

[vprasanna83]

What’s the atmosphere like?

Electric

 

[BouncerGuy]

Oh boy, Has Pandya injured his finger there?

 

[vprasanna83]

Not too hot in the stadium . 31 deg C with a good breeze blowing

 

[Asad T]

1,000 World Cup runs for David Warner. Big occasion player he is, look at those stats

 

[Devadwal]

Hope Pandya is fit . not looking good at this moment .

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

When did this happen??

 

[topspin]

Plenty of music for the Indian crowd but for some reason the ground is nowhere near full.

 

[Ali Active]

These two are dangerous.

 

[topspin]

Not a 350 surface.

Australia should aim for 300

 

[topspin]

When did this happen??

Was this today? Jarvo is a legend. His pranks are so good.

 

[Devadwal]

Why bowling too short when there is no fine leg

 

[topspin]

Good batting from Warner. Making the most of this over from Pandya who’s no Bumrah/Siraj with the ball.

 

[Ali Active]

Pandya getting smashed

 

[Devadwal]

Ashwin instead of pandya in pp is good option

 

[Ahmed216]

Yes
