Lucky carey

4000 runs by Steve Smith in odis

 

[jnaveen1980]

Smith hits only when the ball is absolutely terrible.

 

[Mean&Green]

Point is as a bowler he can create a chance any time. That is why he is the best spinner in India in LOI. I am not sure whether you actually like Chahal or you like him just to hate CHahal. CHahal can be very good or very very bad. We have seen him enough with wet ball. There is nothing mystery about him. You can line up against him when the ball doesnt turn.

I genuinely like chahal he’s a brave bowler. I’ve never seen him cry after getting hit for runs and his confidence doesn’t get shatttered. Look he’s so relax and calm and happy even though he’s being left out for several games. They had questions I’ve his fielding he’s been outstanding as a sub. The same kuldeep while in the side is not even running to the ball kohli was fuming at him he even forgets about the team when he is not bowling well he only thinks about himself hence loses concentration in the game anyways they can keep playing kuldeep eventually chahal will play.

 

[Dead Ball]

Saini bowls too many loose balls.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Smith is so useless he won’t even change his gears this is where kohli will always be 10x a better batsman than him test cricket is overrated it’s about overall and kohli is miles ahead. This guy plays way too slow for odi cricket he has that test cricket mindset even test cricket he takes like 400 balls to score a century

I disagree. He is the best batsman. Test cricket is real cricket. Kohli is almost equal to him but slight edge to smith so far.

In odi yes Kohli is better. Smith is not too far behind though. He is a clutch player in World Cup games.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Saini bowls too many loose balls.

His stock length is very difficult to score off of. Anytime he attempts bouncer or yorker he loses it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I disagree. He is the best batsman. Test cricket is real cricket. Kohli is almost equal to him but slight edge to smith so far.

In odi yes Kohli is better. Smith is not too far behind though. He is a clutch player in World Cup games.

Smith is a better percentage test cricketer like DHoni is a better percentage cricketer in ODI.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pathetic fielding by Saini

 

[andy0204]

What in the blue hell Kohli kept four overs of Shami in death overs?

 

[tyron_woodley]

We don’t need pant as keeper. He can focus on becoming a proper batsman.

 

[MRSN]

Carey has to carry Aus to 350 total here.

 

[MRSN]

We don’t need pant as keeper. He can focus on becoming a proper batsman.

Rahul missed a stumping though. Is he really good enough behind stumps?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dhawan may not bat. So it is down to Kohli, Rohit, Rahul.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rahul missed a stumping though. Is he really good enough behind stumps?

That is not a stumping man. Ball deflected of the pad. Leg by signalled.

 

[Mean&Green]

Again he gets a wicket in his last over cause batsmen have to hit out lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kuldeep strikes .

 

[MRSN]

Smith needs to get going here. Playing too slow in a crunch time.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Again he gets a wicket in his last over cause batsmen have to hit out lol

Easy there man. Carey mistimed earlier one.. lucky to land in no man's land. Smith beaten by flight pad saved him he was way outside the crease.

 

[MRSN]

That is not a stumping man. Ball deflected of the pad. Leg by signalled.

but is he good? specialist keepers are important in ODIs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

but is he good? specialist keepers are important in ODIs.

He looks as good as a specialist keeper. Only question is whether he can take the load. Otherwise he is very good both with reviews and takes. General awareness is very good.

 

[Mean&Green]

but is he good? specialist keepers are important in ODIs.

Rahul is very good ten times better than pant

 

[MRSN]

Turnee can turn this match into Aus's favour. need a quick 40, 50 cameo.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Turnee can turn this match into Aus's favour. need a quick 40, 50 cameo.

There is no chahal today lol he went for 80 runs in 10 overs that day.

 

[AdamM97]

Bumrah is such a good bowler. 5 dots.

 

[Mean&Green]

There is no chahal today lol he went for 80 runs in 10 overs that day.

Like kuldeep got 6 wickets he even went for 70

 

[tyron_woodley]

I want to see if India can chase when top 3 get out. it will be a good test.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Like kuldeep got 6 wickets he even went for 70

No. Less than that. Chahal is known for those massive leaks. Conceded 65 runs in 5 overs vs SA in Johanusburg.

 

[andy0204]

Smith gets his odi century after 3 years.

 

[Hyperion66]

Wonderful over from the best in the world.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Smith is a bit stat obsessed. Very cautious in the 90s.

 

[Hyperion66]

TBH if Babar scored a century like this we would be bashing his lack of impact and hitting ability.

 

[Ryw]

Aus 238/6 47 overs crr 5.4

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dhawan out most likely.

 

[MRSN]

Aus have a long tail. vow

 

[volcyz]

Absolute disgrace that Turner and Agar are I. The team ahead of Maxwell and Stoinis

 

[tyron_woodley]

Absolute disgrace that Turner and Agar are I. The team ahead of Maxwell and Stoinis

Stoinis is is ****. We all saw what he did in the World Cup. Maxwell I agree with.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Wonderful over from the best in the world.

Best bowler in all formats. Jj bumrah is by far the best.

 

[therealAB]

Poor by Smithy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Saini's death bowling has to improve vastly. THird match in a row after good first spell he is missing it.

 

[therealAB]

Helicopter!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Absolute disgrace that Turner and Agar are I. The team ahead of Maxwell and Stoinis

Stoinis is a choker lol Maxwell hit or miss. But definitely more hit than TUrner. HE is still living on that one 84

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even against West Indies saini messed up in the end overs. ONly in the last match he did okay. But main batsmen were already out.

 

[Ab Fan]

I haven't seen a bat more clutch than Smith in the history of cricket. He always performs when it matters, tests or ODIs.

You mould de Villiers ability with Smith's clutch factor and you get the greatest batsmen of all-time.

 

[MenInG]

AUS 258/6 (45.4) CRR: 5.65
Australia opt to bat

 

[jnaveen1980]

edged 4.

 

[therealAB]

on purpose that to 3rd man

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is Bumrah bowling rubbish wide balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Come on Smith lol You are no Dhoni. You got one. Doesn't mean you will get again.

 

[Ab Fan]

Lol, Shami got a wicket on a 6 hitting ball. It was on slot but Smith is no hitter.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol, Shami got a wicket on a 6 hitting ball.

Only in you imaginary world that is a asix hitting ball lol Ball was honinng on middle stump.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Adios CUmmins.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a bowler Shami is in death overs.

 

[Hyperion66]

Why is Bumrah bowling rubbish wide balls.

To donate a somewhat respectable strike rate to Smith lol. Seriously though gave away two hit me balls, very poor by his standards.

 

[big_gamer007]

I want to see if India can chase when top 3 get out. it will be a good test.

Lol you don't want us to win?

 

[tyron_woodley]

Shami and bumrah could en duo becoming 2 of the greatest Asian bowlers of all time.

 

[andy0204]

Lol you don't want us to win?

It's not about win it's about testing middle order.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Lol you don't want us to win?

This is just a test. Not the World Cup. so I hope the middle order show what they can do.

 

[tyron_woodley]

It's not about win it's about testing middle order.

Exactly my brother.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think India will struggle as Dhawan is out. They just need 2 wickets. Rohit/Kohli. I know Rahul is in form. But he is not exactly known for chasing big totals down. He could. But when it comes to chasing big Dhawan/Rohit/Kohli always scored big.

 

[jnaveen1980]

26 extras unusual for India.

 

[big_gamer007]

It's not about win it's about testing middle order.

This is just a test. Not the World Cup. so I hope the middle order show what they can do.

It's not good enough to win on its own unless someone from top 3 guides them with atleast a decent innings.

 

[Hyperion66]

With the old ball no bowler is as good as Shami, one of the finest seam positions I have seen in a fast bowler.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Iyer, Pandey, KL Rahul cannot win the match on their own. You need top 3 to bat atleast 35 overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami is as god as Starc in terms of strike rate

 

[tyron_woodley]

Anyone else find harsha boogie annoying?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Both OZ and India face similar issue. If anything Aussie is in worse situation. Agar is more a no.8 batsman not no.7. Carey is more a no.7 bat. not no.5 Even Turner is a no.7 not no.6

 

[tyron_woodley]

Shami could really be the best bowler in the world in odi and tests.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami could really be the best bowler in the world in odi and tests.

Last year he was the highest wicket taker in ODIs. He could repeat this year with ihs ability to strike at the end.

 

[tyron_woodley]

I want iyer pandey and Rahul to prove to me that they can bat in the middle

 

[Manunited18]

Shami could really be the best bowler in the world in odi and tests.

Hes a lesser version of Malcolm Marshall, short skiddy with a very good skill set

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Iyer, Pandey, KL Rahul cannot win the match on their own. You need top 3 to bat atleast 35 overs.

Rather be in that position now than in an ICC knockout game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tricky totaly. Indian batting relies on top 3 as usual.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rather be in that position now than in an ICC knockout game.

I am saying they wil keep failing no matter how many times they try. KL Rahul lis getting better. But others are not in the mould of Kohli, Rohit, Dhawan to go big consistently

 

[Ryw]

Aus 286/9* 50 Overs crr 5.72
Aus win the toss and elected to bat

 

[Manunited18]

Both OZ and India face similar issue. If anything Aussie is in worse situation. Agar is more a no.8 batsman not no.7. Carey is more a no.7 bat. not no.5 Even Turner is a no.7 not no.6

But the flip side to that is it's a begining of a new cycle after the last world cup so I guess it's a slow process to build for next world cup

 

[Manunited18]

Aus 286/9* 50 Overs crr 5.72
Aus win the toss and elected to bat

30-40 under par

 

[jnaveen1980]

But the flip side to that is it's a begining of a new cycle after the last world cup so I guess it's a slow process to build for next world cup

yes. There is no dearth of potential there. Mitch Marsh, Maxwell, Stoinis can take up the all rounder spot.

 

[tyron_woodley]

yes. There is no dearth of potential there. Mitch Marsh, Maxwell, Stoinis can take up the all rounder spot.

stoinis is ****. marsh is a home track fodder. Not good enough. will get swatted around.

Maxwell yes. he is needed for australia.

I would bring in jhye richardson over hazelwood.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Felling sleepy. Stupid me. Shouldn't have watched their batting. Now i can't control. Hope India gets there when i wake up.
