Looks absolutely boiling out there. Kohli on his way to yet another century
 
India's weak middle order exposed again. Jadhav is below average.
Pandey is now a certified mental midget.
Dhoni is Dhoni.
Pandya is good.
Kumar should never come at 6 down. He can't hit big. This tail cannot wag.
 
Two paced wicket. Some balls kick off some die down from short of a length Stonis is bowling cleverly by bowling just short of a length introducing doubts to batsmen
 
A terrible last 10-15 overs by India. Pitch isn’t a pancake however Australia should get this quite easily.

Lets drop everyone, shall we?

Seriously some fans are fickle as ever. This pitch is anything but batting. 250 maybe winning score who knows, Pandey need to be persist with. India persist with Yuvi for so many years despite he was history. Atleast Pandey is young and have a future with Team India. Agree with Jadhav, he shouldn't be in team but who else do we have? KL Rahul?

A Rahane shouldnt be in ODI.
 
Kohli struggles to accelerate against complete attacks and this isn't even Australia's best. It was the same case when South Africa came over. This is where AB has the edge. Literally no bowler can tie him down when he's in because he's the more gifted striker of the ball. Probably only second to Richards in history.

Pandey simply does not look comfortable out there. He seems to lose his confidence and tries too hard. I want him to succeed too. But the confidence he shows in IPL against the same bowlers is no where to be seen.

Jadhav is not the solution in the middle order. It should be kl Rahul or Raina.

If our last 4 batsman are BK, Kuldeep, chahal and Bumrah, then we are the n trouble in close games. None can use long handle well though they make up a potent bowling unit.

I am tempted to have Jaddu in place of Chahal. It's hard. Chahal is a better ODI bowler, but Jaddu is a better batsman and a much better fielder.

I want to see Dhawan, Rahul and Raina back in the team asap.

I would rather have K Pandya over Chahal. That will make batting very strong and he is a very good bowler as well who can keep things tight at one end. Also once Dhawan is back, Pandey will be dropped.
 
I have to say, Indian wickets/grounds are best for ODI cricket these days - lightning fast out field, great batting surface, but with very good carry & consistent pace. And, it takes out toss.

Calm down, dude.This is not an easy pitch to bat on.Look how even Warner is struggling to put bat on ball against our trundlers.
 
Not looking so good for India. Need wickets ASAP.
 
The fact that Australia doesn't have a few of its frontline bowlers and still dismissed India for 250 odd is something.

Starc and Hazlewood are big players and any team would miss their presence.
 
The current Indian attack is one of the best I have seen. Great variety.

Ashwin would have been tonked badly on this pitch.

India is also experimenting a bit with their batting unit.

Dhawan is missing.

We don't know who eaxtly would fit in middle order. Pandey/Rahane/Rahul are all fighting for spots.
 
Timely wicket. Aussie middle order is minnow level. India's game now.
 
Australia is playing with three batsmen, Warner, Smith and Head. Two off them are already in the hut. Things looking bright for India.

Head-Smith partnership could have been ominous but its broken now.
 
Chahal bowling beautifully here.

Leggies are always a wicket taking option and hard to hit.
 
Maxwell is the danger guy. He is extremely good against spin and can hit big shots.
 
Good battle between bat and ball here, not a slogfest as we've seen in previous AUS-IND series.

Liking these two young Indian spinners, seem to possess guile and variety.
 
Maxwell has played Yadav with ease in the two ODIs so far.
 
Kuldeep was troubling Smith.

Chahal was troubling Maxwell and finally gets him.

Kuldeep has the best chance to get Smith.

But not Chahal.

Beautiful setup and wicket.

Indeed. It's a little odd he plays the l/a chinaman with ease but has trouble playing the more conventional r/a legspinner.
 
Kuldeep not having the best of days. Still can produce unplayable deliveries out of no where.
 
It's India's match to loose from here.This Aussie team is worthless.

Attendance of less than 50% for a India vs Australia match is shocking. Are people losing interests in bilaterals ?
Click to expand...

I have been mentioning samething in another thread that most Indian fans losing interest in meaningless bilaterals. This series against Aussie have failed to garner the interest among fans perhaps due to second string attack that Aussies have sent and also due to fact that India have been playing endless cricket. There is no respite for either players or fans. When a supply is more than demand, such low turnout is to be expected.

ICC and other boards need to perhaps try adding meaning to the games maybe bring back Tri series or Four nations tournament. This bilaterals are just borefest
 
PKL recently outdid Cricket in TV viewings.May be finally Indians are realizing there are more sports outside cricket
 
This is one of the best sporting wicket seen in an odi match after a while

curators did a fine job

Most IPL games are also on weekdays but it always have full house. Fans are just not showing interest in this series like they did back in days.

Signs of worry for BCCI, specially now that they will have to renew the broadcasting rights for home games. I wont be surprised if it fails to match the amount IPL did. Club cricket is future and thats where Cricket is heading.
 
Smith plays it toward to best Indian fielder who is incidentally subbing for 'injured' Kedar.

4D chess from India.
 
Australia cant expect to beat India in India with three batsmen.

I agree with you. For a change finally we are seeing balance between bat and ball. Its 90s all over again where even 250 seem winning score.

To the curators of Eden garden,
We :salute you
 
Ashwin can say goodbye to his ODI career , these two are the ones India will stick with.

Ashwin should have never been in the team for CT to begin with. He has been below average in ODI's and T20's for a while. But India went by reputation and experience.
 
This is why mystery spinners with well disguised googly are a must in your LOI team.

Kuldeep Hatrick.
 
No-one going to mention Kohli's childish celebrations?

As long as we are winning, I don't care even if he is running naked on the field.You need some passion and fire in sports to make it entertaining.

And to think his fan-boys tell us Sarfaraz should learn how to control his aggression like Virat. :)))

Aggression is not what you do after the bowler picks up a wicket. Its the field settings and the intent shown before getting the wicket.

Kohli always has some wild celebrations after getting the wicket. Nothing new.

After CT , Shastri wanted to ease Ashwin out of ODIs without hurting his feelings , hence why they sent him packing off to play county cricket lol..

Some posters claimed that Kohli shows more restraint, but given he can't control himself after a wicket is taken, then what chance does he have controlling himself before a wicket is taken? I am just pointing out the double standards.

As for captaincy, we all know who is pulling the strings for India, and it sure isn't Kohli.

What's the point in playing a sport at an international level and not getting excited?

The difference is that Kohli doesn't scold bowlers and fielders after every mistake. Celebrating after a wicket is very different from yelling at your bowlers.

All hail king kohli :shh
 
Beautiful wickets for this series. Even last series against eng, nz are also very good
 
Pandey looks very fidgety at the start. He has to settle down and play regular shots instead of cute shots which r leading his downfall
 
India needs raina badly. Pandey and jhadav doesn't inspire much confidence if they bat like this

This.

Raina is a better or equal batsmen to Jadhav. Raina can also bowl decently and he is a much superior fielder than Jadhav. Raina has also performed in big matches before and has the experience.
 
An Indian win always brings out the best of some posters who try hard to discredit India's win.
