India [289/3] defeat Australia [286/9] by 7 wickets and win 3rd ODI; Win series by a 2-1 margin

[andy0204]

Still middle order is not tested,I would take this match lose over win.

 

[jnaveen1980]

cummins needs a rest, should not have played this sereis in the first place, bowling way too much.

one can see the effect of s tiring season on him

infact, he may end up a test specialist, jhye richardson is a much better choice in limited overs

He is a true team man. Bowling everything at 145k.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Really?

Yes because I have no faith in Shreyas. Let him prove us wrong.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Still middle order is not tested,I would take this match lose over win.

If they can't help hunt this target they better retire.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Collapse.on. my guess is India 245 all out!

 

[tyron_woodley]

Still middle order is not tested,I would take this match lose over win.

Agreed. Screw the game. Show us what the middle order can do,

 

[Saurav]

Iyer and Kohli should see it through

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes because I have no faith in Shreyas. Let him prove us wrong.

Let us not be harsh on him. Even i have suspicion about his skills against pace. But we should not chop and change willy nilly before giving them a run. This is not such an important series

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Iyer will handle Cummins and Hazlewood okay. But not sure about Starc. The angle, height, bounce

 

[Hitman]

Agreed. Screw the game. Show us what the middle order can do,

So you have no problem in us losing the series?

 

[tyron_woodley]

Let us not be harsh on him. Even i have suspicion about his skills against pace. But we should not chop and change willy nilly before giving them a run. This is not such an important series

If he can’t face pace even now then He should sit at home and eat yoghurt rice.

 

[Test lover]

Really?

Check this,I still can't forget that match at one point we were crushing but still lost by 25 Runs

[tyron_woodley]

So you have no problem in us losing the series?

I do want the win. Don’t get me wrong but I want our middle order to win it for us. I want them to prove their worth.

 

[andy0204]

So you have no problem in us losing the series?

It's better to lose at least we can sort out middle order.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If he can’t face pace even now then He should sit at home and eat yoghurt rice.

He probably is not dud. He does play genuine quicks in the IPL, INdia A tour. Even his team mates bowl to him. Little vulnerable.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Holy ****. Finch is fat as hell. I saw some rolls. Jesus man. Slow down on them meat pies mate.

 

[GrandMaster]

Collapse.on. my guess is India 245 all out!

It’s more of a wish than guess

 

[Revolution]

Salute Bumrah!! It's not ease for any bowler in bowl in bangalore.

Australia is truly missing bowler like Bumrah in this run case.

First ODI was exception..

 

[jnaveen1980]

I do want the win. Don’t get me wrong but I want our middle order to win it for us. I want them to prove their worth.

You have to play set players for 10 matches on the trot.

 

[tyron_woodley]

It's better to lose at least we can sort out middle order.

It is absolutely never nice to lose but I agree with the reasoning. Winning with the middle order performing is ideal.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Salute Bumrah!! It's not ease for any bowler in bowl in bangalore.

Australia is truly missing bowler like Bumrah in this run case.

First ODI was exception..

Two short and wide balls, 8 wides. Those are the major contributory . Still he was very good.

 

[Revolution]

Collapse.on. my guess is India 245 all out!

This is not Pakistan batsman.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Holy ****. Finch is fat as hell. I saw some rolls. Jesus man. Slow down on them meat pies mate.

Everyone else looks very fit. FInch has a big beer belly.

 

[tyron_woodley]

You have to play set players for 10 matches on the trot.

You really think he has potential? Iyer. I hope so. I am probably a bit harsh but yes I have seen him struggle vs bounce.

 

[sindhiboy]

stoinis may be the answer, but he is a hit or miss player

 

[Titan24]

Kohli and Rohit are ATGs of ODI cricket so for any team to win they need to get them out and not many teams have been able to do that consistently enough.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You really think he has potential? Iyer. I hope so. I am probably a bit harsh but yes I have seen him struggle vs bounce.

Look at his positives. He roates strikes better than some of the players we had recently. HE doesn't play selfish cricket. He goes after bowling when needed.

 

[andy0204]

stoinis may be the answer, but he is a hit or miss player

Mitch Marsh is better option.

 

[Revolution]

Two short and wide balls, 8 wides. Those are the major contributory . Still he was very good.

No one is perfect in this world. If you compare with Australian fast bowling, he is emperor of fast bowling in this current world.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli and Rohit are ATGs of ODI cricket so for any team to win they need to get them out and not many teams have been able to do that consistently enough.

HE is like any other great batsman. Get him very early in the first 2 or 3 overs. Once he is set , even when he is scratchy will win the match.

 

[Test lover]

Why Maxwell not selected .he is in good form

 

[Saurav]

Salute Bumrah!! It's not ease for any bowler in bowl in bangalore.

Australia is truly missing bowler like Bumrah in this run case.

First ODI was exception..

He was good but wicketless.Shami had more impact with wicket of Warner early on and brilliant death bowling

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli 41 singles !!! superb

 

[Titan24]

You really think he has potential? Iyer. I hope so. I am probably a bit harsh but yes I have seen him struggle vs bounce.

In my opinion unless Gill is ready for no 4 position Shreyas Iyer is best of the lot for no 4 considering everything.

 

[Saurav]

Why Maxwell not selected .he is in good form

BBL more important than this series

 

[Mesozoic]

Why Maxwell not selected .he is in good form

Mental health issues.

 

[Saurav]

Mental health issues.

Hes rocking BBL

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why Maxwell not selected .he is in good form

He took a break from international cricket.

 

[tyron_woodley]

He was good but wicketless.Shami had more impact with wicket of Warner early on and brilliant death bowling

Shami is bowler possibly in the world along with bumrah. people need to put some respect on his name.

 

[Test lover]

Mental health issues.

But he is playing in BBL .

 

[Titan24]

HE is like any other great batsman. Get him very early in the first 2 or 3 overs. Once he is set , even when he is scratchy will win the match.

True but that doesnt happen often considering the solid technique they both have. If the bowl is moving a bit then there is a chance.

 

[Revolution]

He was good but wicketless.Shami had more impact with wicket of Warner early on and brilliant death bowling

I strongly see that Australia is scared to play shots against him. He might be not getting the wickets but required pressure is built.

 

[Saurav]

Shami is bowler possibly in the world along with bumrah. people need to put some respect on his name.

Yep.Should be a regular

Was dropped for CT finals and WC semis

 

[tyron_woodley]

Why exactly was Ashton picked? Turner I mean. I thought he could bowl?

 

[jnaveen1980]

True but that doesnt happen often considering the solid technique they both have. If the bowl is moving a bit then there is a chance.

You have to do two things. FIrst get one of DHawan/Rohit and Kohli immediately.

 

[Saurav]

I strongly see that Australia is scared to play shots against him. He might be not getting the wickets but required pressure is built.

Yep.He was brilliant too

 

[Mesozoic]

But he is playing in BBL .

Mental strain in T20 leagues <<< Mental strain in Int'l cricket

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why exactly was Ashton picked? Turner I mean. I thought he could bowl?

He is still living on that 84 at Mohali. lol Flopped big time in the IPL later. I think scored like 5 ducks in a row.

 

[Saurav]

Why exactly was Ashton picked? Turner I mean. I thought he could bowl?

They are trying options for WT20.Only game I have seen him do well is Mohali

 

[jnaveen1980]

After 00 seconds Finch is appealin glol

 

[tyron_woodley]

Yep.Should be a regular

Was dropped for CT finals and WC semis

That was blasphemy. That and Dhawan injury cost India the semis. This is the cold hard truth.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If they had reviewed that would not have been a wide lol 1 run lost

 

[Titan24]

But he is playing in BBL .

Leagues and domestic cricket is not much pressure in comparison to what international cricket has to offer. That is why we have seen even Trescothick playing domestic cricket after he retired from international due to mental health issues.

 

[Revolution]

Yep.He was brilliant too

If you see matches against West Indies, they were murdering our bowlers because no pressure was created.

Bumrah is class ..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nice shot by Iyer.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Nice shot by Iyer.

That wasn’t a bouncer mate lol. Not yet.

 

[Saurav]

If you see matches against West Indies, they were murdering our bowlers because no pressure was created.

Bumrah is class ..

Ofcourse.Best bowler around.I was just talking about today

I believe Bumrah can bowl faster than he did today.Still not in that rhythm after injury

 

[Test lover]

I think Australia can turn this match still

 

[Saurav]

Leagues and domestic cricket is not much pressure in comparison to what international cricket has to offer. That is why we have seen even Trescothick playing domestic cricket after he retired from international due to mental health issues.

Trescothick had issues with travelling.Homesickness I guess

 

[tyron_woodley]

Jnaveen, you see that shot?? From Iyer. This is why I dint rate him.

 

[Saurav]

Iyer

 

[jnaveen1980]

Iyer has to work on his short ball game. He has to practice upper cut

 

[tyron_woodley]

Looooooool Iyer. This is awful for Iyer.

 

[Saurav]

Shot

 

[Saurav]

Iyer has to work on his short ball game. He has to practice upper cut

Or just defend them.They can only bowl one per over

Still wouldn't drop him

 

[tyron_woodley]

I think he needs to read the short ball better. That’s the issue with Iyer, he can clearly play every other type of ball. He smashed that Yorker well. Read the short ball well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jnaveen, you see that shot?? From Iyer. This is why I dint rate him.

Raina, Azhaurddin many players had issues. Steve waugh. He was never comfortable against short ball all his life. It is how you manage it.

 

[Test lover]

Leagues and domestic cricket is not much pressure in comparison to what international cricket has to offer. That is why we have seen even Trescothick playing domestic cricket after he retired from international due to mental health issues.

Jonathan Trott had same issue I think .when I watched him in 2011 world cup ,he was so classy.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think he needs to read the short ball better. That’s the issue with Iyer, he can clearly play every other type of ball. He smashed that Yorker well. Read the short ball well.

Did you see the next shots. HE has this inborn aggressive intent. That is something we have been missing from the guys like selfish Rayudu. Karthik is an amazing puller and hook shot player. But zero consistency.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Always watch the bowler’s head and judge how far they drop. If the bowler’s face is directly parallel to the pitch then you know it’s going to be a bouncer. A you really have to hit the deck hard to bowl a bouncer.nif Iyer works on this he can become real good.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Did you see the next shots. HE has this inborn aggressive intent. That is something we have been missing from the guys like selfish Rayudu. Karthik is an amazing puller and hook shot player. But zero consistency.

I agree now. Clearly his issue is actually reading the short ball. Needs more experience. He need to pick it up quicker.

 

[Saurav]

Raina, Azhaurddin many players had issues. Steve waugh. He was never comfortable against short ball all his life. It is how you manage it.

Yup.not such a huge issue.Ganguly also had issues yet had a successful career

 

[tyron_woodley]

Vihari is another one that needs to work on short balls.

 

[RamLakhan]

Ofcourse.Best bowler around.I was just talking about today

I believe Bumrah can bowl faster than he did today.Still not in that rhythm after injury

Bumrah is already best ever bowler from India (He surpassed even all spinners from India). His next target is only to compete with the ATG bowlers from World History (He is also bowling in this batting friendly era!) Never ever I had so much confidence watching an Indian bowler bowl...! He is the difference in this match too... (The target would easily have been 320+)

 

[jnaveen1980]

I agree now. Clearly his issue is actually reading the short ball. Needs more experience. He need to pick it up quicker.

He has slogged so much in domestic. He should be given all the confidence. Right now Manish Pandey is the weak link.

 

[Birdman]

Seriously though; what is the purpose of this series? India would have been better served had they went to NZ couple weeks early and got used to the conditions there.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Vihari is another one that needs to work on short balls.

Vihari is terrible. Atleast Iyer tries to connect. Vihari's shots often ends up in slips

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seriously though; what is the purpose of this series? India would have been better served had they went to NZ couple weeks early and got used to the conditions there.

Cash

 

[Test lover]

What about Mayank ,how good he is against short Bowl?

 

[Saurav]

wow
