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

[Devadwal]

Predicted score is 267 from now .its gery good score

 

[Nado_]

India fielding shows they are confident of winning this WC

Yup looking like a team on a mission

 

[Rajdeep]

Smith Goneeeee....

 

[FearlessRoar]

Jadeja to Smith, OUT
Steven Smith b Jadeja 46 (71b 5x4 0x6) SR: 64.78

 

[Devadwal]

We disparately need wickets

 

[MP2011]

Smith bowled, good delivery that from Jadeja

 

[Nado_]

Predicted score is 267 from now .its gery good score

It’s a decent score I feel but with Australia only playing one specialist spinner surely youl be confident ?

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Breakthrough after break

 

[Devadwal]

What a jaffa from Jaddu

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Game over

 

[U$ofA]

Pitch is tricky but Australia has gone still gone too slow.

Yes. They need to accelerate. But Smith/Marnus not the people with the talent to do that. In coming batsmen are going to find it tough without getting their eyes in.

 

[Nado_]

Brutal delivery

 

[Devadwal]

Now Maxwell time .he can go after spinners

 

[Runner Up]

Smith wasted too much time in changing boots and gone.

 

[Mockingbird]

Jadeja you beauty! Jaffa!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Spinners paradise so far

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Max 230.

Can see a collapse here

 

[apnapind]

Man this pitch is spinning like cobra pak should fancy their chances vs south africa.

 

[Nado_]

Has Maxwell got the patience for long innings ?

 

[Cricket World]

Test match pitch

 

[Nado_]

Man this pitch is spinning like cobra pak should fancy their chances vs south africa.

Yes but depends if Shadab has the ability to bowl the ball in the upper half of the pitch

 

[mominsaigol]

@Hitman Nvm I take back what I said about Smith.

 

[emranabbas]

Why suddenly no one is talking about SR/RR?

Because its a slow pitch

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Omg Smith played just like Babar.. His wicket have brought Australia in the game..
Tough luck India

 

[Mockingbird]

Man, how will Pakistan face Afghanistan on such a pitch?

 

[King_Babar]

England and Australia are badly exposed after they were hyped to moon for no reason. They have never been good in sub continent. SA and NZ will have better tournament than these two.

 

[Rajdeep]

Test match pitch

Check the first page of this thread. I have said this even before the first ball bowled that it is looking like 5th day test match pitch.

Not fair on Australia

 

[Devadwal]

Maxwell is big big threat .we need his wicket

 

[King_Babar]

Yes but depends if Shadab has the ability to bowl the ball in the upper half of the pitch

Talk about spinners, not right arm half tracker specialist.

 

[160KPH]

A lot hinges on Maxwell here. Let’s see how his sweep shots go on this pitch.

 

[Nado_]

I can’t believe some peoples comments regarding the pitch . This is the type of pitch we have been waiting for , something in it for the bowlers too, a more even contest . And by the way the pitch is not totally unplayable it’s a pitch where 270 will give you a good chance. In my opinion that’s a good pitch.

A lot of people are sick of seeing pure one sided batting paradises. I guarantee you this game will go to the wire and will be a blockbuster.

 

[Devadwal]

Maxi will Play attacking cricket.

 

[King_Babar]

Maxwell is bug big threat .we need his wicket

I don't think he will damage India. Kuldeep will take his wicket.

 

[Ab Fan]

Poor knock from Smith.

46(71)

 

[Nado_]

Talk about spinners, not right arm half tracker specialist.

Lollll exactly

Those who are talking about pitch should wait for 2nd innings.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

36 runs in over 10 overs?l

 

[Devadwal]

I don't think he will damage India. Kuldeep will take his wicket.

He can if he play 12-14 oves

 

[Ab Fan]

Maxwell is a legendary cricketer, having won 1 more World Cup than Babar. He is a batsman that can win you game Outta nowhere.

He won one such game vs England where he chased 320 after being 60/5 in 2020 back during lockdown.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Australia are playing too scared.

They fear they will collapse for 170 off here that’s why they wanna play safe to score 250 something here

 

[MP2011]

Ishan Kishan is simply sensational today at boundary.

 

[Devadwal]

As predicted maxi is attacking

 

[Rajdeep]

Labuschange Goneeee.....

 

[Devadwal]

Gone but he taking DRS

 

[MP2011]

Jadeja takes Labu too

 

[Bhaijaan]

Another wicket for Bharat it seems.

Gonna be reviewed

Labushane

 

[Technics 1210]

I like this contest, good balance between bat and ball.

T20 fanatics need to wake up, not every ODI game will yield 300+ scores with blistering Strike Rates.

The beauty of ODI is you need temperament too, so it's more of a challenge than slogging hit-me balls in T20.

 

[Devadwal]

Why he take the drs ?

 

[FearlessRoar]

Jadeja to Labuschagne, OUT
Marnus Labuschagne c †Rahul b Jadeja 27 (41b 1x4 0x6) SR: 65.85

 

[shah_1]

India are just too good in this format

 

[MP2011]

When Richard Kettleborough gives you out, you don't review it

 

[Bhaijaan]

Confirmed out.

Aussies 4 down

 

[Swashbuckler]

Chennai pitch has been like this for the last 15 years, in fact pitch is better for batting today.

Australia defended 250 against India last time on this same pitch. This is like a classic 80s or 90s ODI pitch, more than turn it is the double-paced nature that makes batting challenging. Pacers will also get purchase with new ball because of sea breeze.

 

[BouncerGuy]

If Labushane is out then it will be huge trouble for Australia. Their Lower order will find it difficult to play here on such pitch.

 

[MP2011]

Good catch by Rahul too

 

[Bhaijaan]

India are just too good in this format

Don’t jinx us bro

 

[Devadwal]

This is real test of class player.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Chennai doesn't have dew problem, batting first is a big advantage.

 

[apnapind]

Because its a slow pitch

Not really if england was playing we would have seen modern cricket.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Let’s bowl them out now.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Maxi will Play attacking cricket.

Why are you so afraid brother.. India too have world class players. We're here to win our Glory back trust them

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Tough to see Australia reaching 200 here

 

[topspin]

250 will be tough to chase but that will take some getting.

 

[U$ofA]

Now that Carey is in, I am sure Ashwin will be in too.

 

[BouncerGuy]

30 overs 119/4 is not a good score and Aussies will not be happy with this. They are in deep trouble here.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Pakistan play Afghans and South Africans here. Tell your coach or captain to bat first if you win the toss, dew never arrives here. Also cutters work very well in middle overs.

 

[MP2011]

Both Maxwell and Carey are enforcers so let's see how they do on this pitch.

 

[Rajdeep]

Carey Goneeee...

 

[jnaveen1980]

MSD pitch it seems. Hard to chase.

 

[MP2011]

Carey gone second ball

 

[Devadwal]

Gone

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Indian spin proving a treat

 

[FearlessRoar]

Jadeja to Carey, OUT
Slow finger of death from Kettleborough!
Alex Carey lbw b Jadeja 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

 

[Ahmed216]

Man, how will Pakistan face Afghanistan on such a pitch?

This is not even a usual Chennai pitch I think. Earlier in the year Aus managed to score around 270 if I remember correctly.
This looks like tailormade for ash kul Jad.

I expect Afg Pak game pitch to be much better

 

[Ali Active]

This looks like day 5 wicket.

 

[shah_1]

Carey is a proper yaari dosti player

Josh Inglis is 10 times the player Carey is yet he plays in ODIs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now that Carey is in, I am sure Ashwin will be in too.

Not needed yet.

 

[U$ofA]

Absolutely no clue against spin! Pathetic.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Australia being eliminated very early this year.

Not sure on why the need to mention Babar but no know one doubts he’s a legend.
