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

[jnaveen1980]

This looks like day 5 wicket.

This is Dhoni land. He has bullied so many teams with his spin bowlers in the IPL. Ashwin was his weapon till 2016. Then jadeja.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bharat on fire here

Aussies 5 down.

Let’s bowl them out and crush them.

 

[topspin]

I don't fancy Pakistan's chances against Afghanistan in Chennai if the pitch behaves the same as what we're seeing today.

 

[shah_1]

Australia have too many players averaging in their 30s. They are so dependent on Smith and Warner

 

[FearlessRoar]

Aus 119-5, 30 overs

 

[Mockingbird]

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

Dont know what you are talking about, avg first innings score in Chennai is 230.

 

[Technics 1210]

Hurry hurry Carey!

World cup pressure is going to be there. Besides they don't have Travis Head anymore.

 

[WengerOut]

Tiny bit of help and these modern batsmen are sitting ducks. Including India.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

No one beat India on a pitch like this. If they can get 11 like this guaranteed champions.

 

[shah_1]

I don't fancy Pakistan's chances against Afghanistan in Chennai if the pitch behaves the same as what we're seeing today.

Afghanistan spinners don't spin the ball. If they play Noor Ahmad then Pakistan is in trouble

 

[MMHS]

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

If PAK bats first, Afghans won’t cross 100 chasing….. if PAK bowls first, Afghans won’t play out 40 overs.

Afghans are a bit overhyped here in PP for their cricket talent for their own good.

 

[Blackbradman]

Carey hmm

 

[Swashbuckler]

I don't fancy Pakistan's chances against Afghanistan in Chennai if the pitch behaves the same as what we're seeing today.

Pak has a terrific record in Chennai though. never lost in any format in this venue. Afghanistan is an overrated side.

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah is back

 

[Nado_]

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.

Finally a pitch where bowlers are in it . Australia just playing rubbish. Indians bowling well but Australia do not know how to rotate stroke against the spinners.

 

[Runner Up]

This is some strange batting display by Aussies.

 

[apnapind]

Carey is a proper yaari dosti player

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

True bro but but it only happens in pak caray is parchi of cummins.

 

[Blackbradman]

Afghanistan spinners are highly over rated. They are good only in Franchise cricket.

 

[Nado_]

Pak has a terrific record in Chennai though. never lost in any format in this venue. Afghanistan is an overrated side.

See off Mujeeb and should be fine . With ifti and Saud in the middle hopefully that stabilises us. With the afghans a par score should be enough

 

[Ab Fan]

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

Bobby is the benchmark in the current era that's why.

 

[Rajdeep]

Pak has a terrific record in Chennai though. never lost in any format in this venue. Afghanistan is an overrated side.

Basically what you saying is Pakistan loves Chennai and vice versa

 

[Devadwal]

Great captioncy by Rohit .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afghanistan spinners are highly over rated. They are good only in Franchise cricket.

Afghanistan won't chase any total here. But they can defend 230 to 240 here. But they are unpredictable with bat. They won't put that many most of the times.

 

[topspin]

Pak has a terrific record in Chennai though. never lost in any format in this venue. Afghanistan is an overrated side.

I do acknowledge your knowledge of the Chennai ground, pitch and the history of the cricket played here has always been impressive.

However, this Pakistan team has the worst spin attack I've ever seen fielded by a Pakistan team in living memory.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Australia being eliminated very early this year.

Aussies are fighters


No shame in being down against Bharat

 

[Blackbradman]

Bangladesh will fancy their chances on this pitch against kiwis

 

[Ahmed216]

Dont know what you are talking about, avg first innings score in Chennai is 230.

More like 260-270 by modern standards.
But this one looks like a 200 run pitch

 

[Swashbuckler]

If PAK bats first, Afghans won’t cross 100 chasing….. if PAK bowls first, Afghans won’t play out 40 overs.

Afghans are a bit overhyped here in PP for their cricket talent for their own good.

Not a bit and not just here. Overrated too much and everywhere. In 2019 WC they couldn't win a single match. Their spinners also are very average beyond 4 overs per bowler cricket. Even in T20I circus they get smashed against top sides every single time.

Bangladesh is a much bigger threat this time, if some of their players click I can see them getting 5 wins at least. With Afghans I don't see them beating any side apart from the Dutch.

I don't understand why Pakistanis give so much respect to Afghan cricket team on this forum.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yep. Horribly overrated on this forum for no good reason.

They have never beaten a Top 6 side ever. Zim, Ireland are both better.

 

[shah_1]

I would drop Hasan Ali, play Usama Mir on this pitch if the pitch is similar

 

[MP2011]

3/34 in last 10 overs

 

[Nado_]

Bobby is the benchmark in the current era that's why.

Kohli is the benchmark surely

 

[topspin]

To all those saying Afghans spinner are overrated. I much rather have them over Shadab and Nawaz tbh.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

India still don't know how to deal with tailenders. They will pack their main batters but Cummins and Zampa will take Australia to 230

 

[Blackbradman]

Afghanistan won't chase any total here. But they can defend 230 to 240 here. But they are unpredictable with bat. They won't put that many most of the times.

Even if they score 300 they can't win, their seamers will make sure opponent team chase any kind of total.

 

[Devadwal]

Let's only talk about this game .

 

[boomboomcheema]

Labu and Smith went full on Test grinding mode and ruined the whole momentum of the innings. It was going along well for Australia as long as Warner was at the crease..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even if they score 300 they can't win, their seamers will make sure opponent team chase any kind of total.

Typical Chennai pitch is such a pitch that a team can go from 100/0 in 10 overs to 105/5 in 12 overs in no time.It is not done until is done kind of pitch.

 

[Devadwal]

India still don't know how to deal with tailenders. They will pack their main batters but Cummins and Zampa will take Australia to 230

Kuldeep and bumrah can take care of tail but first need to break this partnership .Maxi is very dangerous Player as he can change the game in few overs

 

[topspin]

I would drop Hasan Ali, play Usama Mir on this pitch if the pitch is similar

I would drop Haris Rauf. His extra pace will come on to the bat nicely on a slow pitch.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Basically what you saying is Pakistan loves Chennai and vice versa

Yes, we will support Pakistan in all their matches here. Will make them feel at home.

 

[MP2011]

First boundary scored in more than 12 overs.

 

[shah_1]

Naah Afghanistan does struggle against 145+ kph bowling

 

[kron]

Australia have too many players averaging in their 30s. They are so dependent on Smith and Warner

Take Gill and rohit out, India also struggle badly. They are not great vs spin.

 

[kron]

That's scary for us Pakistanis. We play Afghans on such a pitch.

 

[Devadwal]

Misleading now .damn

 

[shah_1]

Take Gill and rohit out, India also struggle badly. They are not great vs spin.

Iyer is their best batsman against spin.

 

[Swashbuckler]

These two shouldn't take risks, just aim for 230-240 total, that should be a challenge for India.

I like these kind of old school ODIs more than the extended T20 slogfests of recent times.

 

[kron]

I think 250 270 pitches are fantastic. Well curated

Yea such a change. I am so pleased with this.

Pacers can be deadly too. Just need to bowl accurately. Rauf can be handy in 2 faced pitches.

 

[RehanG]

why do you want to bat first on such wicket as today? its obvious underlight ball will grip/spin less.

 

[topspin]

Naah Afghanistan does struggle against 145+ kph bowling

I agree with you on that but on such a slow wicket like this one, I'm not so sure.

Also, Hasan Ali has been our best bowler ever since the team touched down in India. Shaheen is far better than him but doesn't look 100% fit.

 

[Devadwal]

Australia 131-5 in 33 over
They can easily score another 130 runs from remaining 17 over

 

[kron]

Unplayable bumrah
137 to 144 pace.

 

[Devadwal]

Dude from now on pitch only going to deteriorate so batting is going to be very hard

 

[FearlessRoar]

Glenn Maxwell just hit the first boundary for Australia in 73 balls. A quite extraordinary squeeze from the Indian bowlers

 

[Swashbuckler]

Chennai is different. Pitch gets slower and more uneven bounce in the second innings. And dew isn't a factor. Last 10 ODIs here, since 2011, 7/10 times team batting first has won. One of the times the chasing team won was NZ against Kenya. So 7/9 bias batting first if you count the top sides.

 

[kron]

Kohli looks incredibly fit.

 

[Devadwal]

Maxi against Ash .fun time now

Ah right. So india will be in trouble then? 240 winning score?

 

[kron]

Why is that?

 

[Srinath_cricket]

True. I don't think Afghans are chasing anything more than 150 on this deck. But in the event if Afghans do manage to conjure their way to 200-220 with a not so poor start and couple of partnerships, they have a huge chance though.

 

[Devadwal]

Why is that?

Maxi record against Ash is very good. He has hit so many six against Ash

 

[Swashbuckler]

Ah right. So india will be in trouble then? 240 winning score?

250+ Aus will be favorites. Less than 220 India favorites. In between I think 50:50.

This Indian team is weak against spin, if they had Agar I would have been more worried.

 

[Mercurial]

India may secure a spot in the semifinals, but they are expected to be eliminated at that stage due to an imbalanced playing XI and their captain being past his prime

 

[kron]

Average speed 138 bumrah
Fastest 144
Siraj fastest 143
Average speed 138.4

Good speeds in the heat

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ah right. So india will be in trouble then? 240 winning score?

Last time Australia beat India here. India was coasting. Suddenly Zampa triggered a massive collapse.

 

[Devadwal]

This is what I'm also thinking . Zampa has very good record Against us and specially against Rohit and Virat

 

[Mercurial]

Kuldeep Yadav unquestionably ranks as the top ODI spinner in today's cricket

 

[Srinath_cricket]

why do you want to bat first on such wicket as today? its obvious underlight ball will grip/spin less.

In chennai, there'll hardly be any dew. It takes the peak of December/January to observe any semblance of dew here. There's humidity all through the year.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Chennai is one venue which would have challenged the modern English approach to white ball batting. Luckily for them, they don't play a single game here, you need a different mindset and skillset to succeed here. Like how ODI was played 20-30 years back.

 

[Ali Active]

Last time Australia beat India here. India was coasting. Suddenly Zampa triggered a massive collapse.

Aus only have 2 spinners so 30 overs of seam

 

[Ali Active]

Gone maxwell

 

[Rajdeep]

Maxwell Goneee...

 

[Devadwal]

Bowled

 

[MP2011]

Kuldeep bowls Maxwell

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Maxi bowled...

 

[FearlessRoar]

Kuldeep to Maxwell, OUT
Glenn Maxwell b Kuldeep Yadav 15 (25b 1x4 0x6) SR: 60

 

[Rana]

Looks like India will play their matches against SENA on spin tracks whilst playing the Asian sides on belters
