India (187/4) beat Australia (186/7) by 6 wickets in the 3rd T20I at Hyderabad

[Gilly]

How the hell is that a runout???!! This has to be the most biased, sold out decision ever. Hahaha this is absolutely pathetic. With the greed of their IPL contracts the Aussies will just take it up the backside without complaining much. Cricket is sold out. Big time.

So you don't know the rules of cricket, you can find them on google , just type in "laws of cricket".

They are very helpful for noobs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch is showing its true color i think. Ball is not coming on.

 

[Smbhayi]

India should inject a fast bowler( a real fast bowler)
135ks trundler won't work well.

Lol.. 4th wicket gone for 84..

 

[Birdman]

Karthick should have warned Smith for leaving the crease.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Green did the smartest thing here. When the ball was new and hard he went hell for leather.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good comeback by India after Green's inning. Karthik's keeping has been superb.

 

[Smbhayi]

Pitches in UAE were better. They at least reward good bowling.

Pitch had good turn for chahal & Azar and swing for Bhuvi..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lucky boundary for Inglis.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Zampa can absolutely wreak havoc here.

 

[Smbhayi]

Good comeback by India after Green's inning. Karthik's keeping has been superb.

I think he missed a lot in pp, almost messed up a run-out too.... that stumping was good though..

 

[Raja111]

First 4 overs - 56-1
Next 6 overs - 30-3

Is it because the pitch has changed? Or good bowling or bad batting except Green?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Can they score 150?

 

[alone1213]

Lol.. 4th wicket gone for 84..

Lol these 135ks trundlers have picked up one wicket only.LOL.

 

[jnaveen1980]

First 4 overs - 56-1
Next 6 overs - 30-3

Is it because the pitch has changed? Or good bowling or bad batting except Green?

This pitch has a history of assisting slow bowlers. Rashid Khan has so many fond memories here.

I see.
So India should not take Chahal's today's performance seriously. It's been a while he's gone for below 40 off his 4 overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Axar is doing a fabulous job

 

[Mesozoic]

Axar has been fantastic this series. Should definitely start in the XI ahead of Chahal just for his bowling. His batting is an added bonus.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I see.
So India should not take Chahal's today's performance seriously. It's been a while he's gone for below 40 off his 4 overs.

I would take performance of spinners with a grain of salt. Although i must credit Axar who bowled well even in the last match.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Australia struggling to make even 150 here after Green's inning lol

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a hit by Sams

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sometimes crazy starts can have bad finish like this if there is MO collapse.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya leaking runs as always

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bumrah has conceeded more runs than Bhuvi

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good footwork by Kohli

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bhuvi getting a phainty from David

161/6

 

[jnaveen1980]

What an exciting player Tim David is. Not a slogger at all. He plays proper shots. Times very well.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sams hits Bumrah for a six

 

[Front Foot Pull]

Pandya leaking runs as always

yeah, most economical pacer thus far is "leaking runs".

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Australia gonna be unbeatable at the WC
Batting is tremendous.

 

[Champ_Pal]

BK going for runs at the death again.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Poor fielding there by Pandya. Gifted 4 runs

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a luxury to have somene like Sams at no.8. Then they have cummins

 

[jnaveen1980]

India is losing it. over throw boundary has become 6.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Australia gonna be unbeatable at the WC
Batting is tremendous.

Green is not in the squad. Smith should be dropped for Green.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

BK going for runs at the death again.

Bumrah is no different 4 overs 50/0

 

[Rohan]

Bhuvi getting a phainty from David

161/6

Question is, who does not give phainty to Bhuvi lately?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Terrific come back. Bumrah's full pace deliveries were not hittable. Any time he tried slow ball travelled.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Green is not in the squad. Smith should be dropped for Green.

Smith is embarrassing to watch in T20's.

 

[alone1213]

LoL Indian bumrah guy completed his 50 in four overs.
India wasn't missing him

Indian fast bowling( trundling) is so mediocre.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Question is, who does not give phainty to Bhuvi lately?

Hong Kong

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sams is handing Mumbai Indian mate Bumrah a work over.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Bumrah is no different 4 overs 50/0

Off day. It happens.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

David is playing a better inning than Green here

 

[alone1213]

LOL and Indians were missing the duo of harshal Patel and bumrah guy

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Once again rohit spoiled the death overs bowling rotation.
Keep bowling with bhuvi,Its frustrating to watch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

LoL Indian bumrah guy completed his 50 in four overs.
India wasn't missing him

Indian fast bowling( trundling) is so mediocre.

Did you see how Cummins , Hazlewood travelled. All fast bowlers are hittable. But how often you deliver is what you should see. Only spinners have done well on this pitch.

 

[alone1213]

Tim David is a monster batsman.

 

[Front Foot Pull]

LoL Indian bumrah guy completed his 50 in four overs.
India wasn't missing him

Indian fast bowling( trundling) is so mediocre.

so hazlewood, cummins are all mediocre bowlers? they got smashed in first 2 t20s as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Amazing batting depth Australia has. They still have Cummins to come

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Off day. It happens.

It always happens in important matches though.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

LOL and Indians were missing the duo of harshal Patel and bumrah guy

This is a full strength Indian team infact Australia is missing Warner, Stoinis, Starc and Marsh.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

England and Australia have pretty good batting line ups. I am sure even West Indies will surprise everyone. Sri Lanka is also looking good.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good last over by Harshal Patel.

 

[jnaveen1980]

so hazlewood, cummins are all mediocre bowlers? they got smashed in first 2 t20s as well.

And also Paksitan conceded back to 200 to bunch of noobs. There is an example for everything lol And this match is not even over yet.

 

[Champ_Pal]

It always happens in important matches though.

He is still one of the best T20 bowlers in the world.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Harshal gave 7 in 20th over. Great

 

[jnaveen1980]

Just because Harshal bowled better than Bumrah, no one in right mind would say Harshal > Bumrah lol That is the nature of T20 for you. Good bowlers can travel some run of the mill bowlers do better. Other day Ellis outbowled Cummins, Hazlewood

 

[Champ_Pal]

Stuff happens. Chahal having a good day and Bumrah having a bad day.

 

[jnaveen1980]

All said and done Australia is doing the right thing by having good batting depth. One thing they might want to fix is finding a spot for Green. Warner/Marsh/Stoinis will all definitely play. So it is smith that gotta go.

 

[Raja111]

ESPN predictor says Aus 70 India 30. Looking at the pitch and zampa's performance in the previous match I think It's going to be correct India will end up few runs short!

 

[jnaveen1980]

India probably could have played 3 spinners on this pitch

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Zampa will decide the series.

 

[jnaveen1980]

4 over throws can play a role today. something tells me.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Zampa will decide the series.

He can be deadly on this pitch. Even Maxwell can come to the party.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a defendable score here.

 

[MP2011]

4 over throws can play a role today. something tells me.

Yeah, that was really poor from Pandya. Although he conceded 5 extra runs on that delivery, not 4. He also misfielded on that delivery.

 

[MP2011]

so hazlewood, cummins are all mediocre bowlers? they got smashed in first 2 t20s as well.

Ignore the troll.

 

[MP2011]

Rahul doing his usual tuk tuk.

 

[MP2011]

Pathetic Rahul gone.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sams doing the right thing. All slow balls, slow bouncers. Everything. That is what works on this pitch. Can't believe Indians were bowling at 135 clicks 140 clicks.

 

[MP2011]

How come Rahul keeps getting chances is beyond me! Must be due to something other than his cricketing abilities.

 

[jattafridi]

Kohli vs Australia

 

[daytrader]

Kohli, can you still chase?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli, can you still chase?

He is zampa's bunny. I won't count on him chasing it. He has done it in his peak eyes closed. Nowadays it is harder for him. This would have been easy peacy for him 3 years back

 

[jnaveen1980]

On cue. Zampa on moment Kohli is at the crease

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wow Even after seeing Chahal, Finch is not having a slip for Zampa. That is dumb.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rohit gone too

 

[jnaveen1980]

One main difference between Indian bowlers and OZ bowlers is the height. They extract more bounce on the same pitch naturally. So it makes it stroke making all the more harder.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

These are perfect conditions for Sky

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good shot by Sky and then Kohli
