India [299/4] beat Australia [298/9] by 6 wickets in the 2nd ODI to level ODI series 1-1

[Aman]

138 in 19 overs with 7 wickets in hand is an easy chase.

 

[Rahul1]

138 in 19 overs with 7 wickets in hand is an easy chase.

Tell that to our pathetic middle order 'batting' lineup.

 

[Stalin]

Maxwell to get Dhoni . You've heard it here first.

 

[Mr. Cricket]

138 in 19 overs with 7 wickets in hand is an easy chase.

Please go through Indian middle order batsmen list, you will loose all hope when Kohli will get out.

 

[Mr. Cricket]

Please go through Indian middle order batsmen list, you will loose all hope when Kohli will get out.

Dhoniii please get out and save some balls to other player.

 

[Stalin]

It's a torture to watch Dhoni bat.
I did not think I'd be saying this one day.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Dhoni is my fav ind player.

Call him grandpa, tuk tuk or whatever. Vut this man is a legend. What he has done coming from where he came from, yet still remain so simple, down to earth, gentlemen well behaved throughout his career. A good role model for kids in subcontinent.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Dhoni is pathetic

He's a legend, no doubt about that. But he's just ruining his legacy now.

 

[Hitman]

What a SIX that was by Kohli.

 

[Hitman]

4 by Kohli. Fabulous.

 

[Sachin136]

Kohli's had enough with Rayudu and Dhoni. He's going to finish this on his own.

 

[JattMaula]

Did someone say something to kaptaan?

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Kohli's had enough with Rayudu and Dhoni. He's going to finish this on his own.

He has done it alone dozens of times, what a legend

 

[Stalin]

Did someone say something to kaptaan?

Yep. Maxwell mouthed a few before Rayudu got out.

 

[Anchorman]

Kohli truly is a magician.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Aus didnt get kohli out before the 150 mark. So Now its 60-40 to India. If Kohli is there post 220 its 80-20 to ind!

In short. India will win now. Since Aus havent got all top 3 before 150.

 

[MP2011]

138 in 19 overs with 7 wickets in hand is an easy chase.

lol at easy.

 

[MP2011]

Dhoni: 6* off 15, even when asking rate is creeping towards 8 now.

 

[MP2011]

Perhaps Dhoni also believes that Virat will have to do this all alone.

 

[MP2011]

Another 6 by Kohli.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Kohli is literally Bradman in chasing.

 

[jagatk]

Last time it was oh he came in at 4/3 what else could he do, wonder what the excuse will be this time.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kohli is pumped up, looks set for 150 +

 

[Sachin136]

85 from 88 balls with just 6 boundaries. The rest of the middle order needs to learn how to get 1s and 2s from Kohli.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

No one in the history of cricket has ever got pumped up Kohli out.

 

[happydavy]

I genuinely want Kohli to get out, and see if the rest of the lineup can score the remaining 100 runs. I doubt they can.

 

[jagatk]

85 from 88 balls with just 6 boundaries. The rest of the middle order needs to learn how to get 1s and 2s from Kohli.

Ideal scenario would be kohli gets his 100 gets out and the middle order chambus screw it up.

 

[Stalin]

Not for their lives .

 

[Joseph Gomes]

They can't

 

[Itachi]

Aus needs one wicket to win. Can they do it.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Aus needs one wicket to win. Can they do it.

This is so true..

 

[Anchorman]

Kohli's career average moves to 60.

 

[Sachin136]

Ideal scenario would be kohli gets his 100 gets out and the middle order chambus screw it up.

No point. Even if Dhoni messes this up, he still won't be dropped.

 

[jagatk]

What times we live in , every Indian fan here wants kohli to get out rather than win us the game.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kohli is bashing the Aussies

 

[jagatk]

No point. Even if Dhoni messes this up, he still won't be dropped.

May be not but the Chennai lobby can't save all their guys, atleast the others can be kicked out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli'a innings is masking the pathetic middle order of India. As much as i like Kohli's batting, i would have preferred his failure in the larger interest of team.

 

[Itachi]

What times we live in , every Indian fan here wants kohli to get out rather than win us the game.

Vaccination principle.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Richardson looks like he’s still in High school

 

[jagatk]

Vaccination principle.

I wholeheartedly support this, just found it very interesting.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Kohli 10,000+ runs at an average of 60 with a ridiculous No of 100's while chasing

Why is he NOT considered the greatest ever ODI batsman of all time?

 

[jagatk]

Can we all petition for a koffee win karan featuring dhoni, kartik, raydu, siraj and khaleel.

 

[jagatk]

Mediocre in world cups, needs a tendulkar type world cup.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

No one can beat Pandya ‘ I am a little on the black side’

 

[deep82]

Rayudu, Dhoni and Karthik .....these 3 will derail India's World Cup Campaign...feel so helpless as an indian fan...We have the arsenal to be a real gun team at par with england,,,select this team and it will scare the best

Dhawan
Rohit
Kohli
Rahul
Pant
Hardik
Jadhav
Jadeja/Chahal
Kuldeep
Bhuvi/Shami
Bumrah

 

[Oligochaetes]

Mediocre in world cups, needs a tendulkar type world cup.

So, can we all agree that outside of world cups, Virat is the greatest ODI batter of all time?

Rahul

Kuldeep
Bhuvi/Shami

This would be the ideal team though I'm not sure about Rahul.

Too bad nothing is going to change. We're going to be stuck with Dhoni, DK, Rayudu, and Jadeja (great fielder, decent ODI bowler, but he just can't bat in ODIs).

 

[jagatk]

So, can we all agree that outside of world cups, Virat is the greatest ODI batter of all time?

You can't just ignore the biggest tournament of the format while deciding on GOAT status.

 

[Stalin]

This is getting tight.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Australia are still1 wicket away from a win.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Kohli world class. Has excellent mentality when it comes to batting only. He knows the situation so well, reads it miles better than rest. His maths is good when batting, knows what’s required at what time and when to step on, when to bring it back in reach and in their favour. Vastly experienced campaigner, has played for more than a decade which helps, plus plays in ipl in big match situations which further trained him up to face these situations in the intentional arena.

 

[jagatk]

Stupid Aussies can't stand a few yards ahead.

 

[deep82]

This would be the ideal team though I'm not sure about Rahul.

Rahul is a beast on his day and can win matches on his own!

Dhoni, Rayudu and Karthik can never dream of playing such clutch knocks...

 

[Hasan2K8]

Aww lucky leading edge, Kohli

 

[Thomaskutty]

Dhoni putting pressure on Kohli with his sluggish batting.

To round up the 15, just add a Manish Pandey ( gun fielder and decent bat ) and Umesh ( experience) and the team is set for the World cup...

But alas, Dhoni will screw our campaign big time especially in crunch games..

 

[Oligochaetes]

India require another 65 runs with 7 wickets and 45 balls remaining

Australia can still win if they get Kohli...

 

[MP2011]

39th ODI ton for the champ.

 

[MP2011]

On the other hand, Dhoni is still striking it at 64.....

 

[jnaveen1980]

You can't just ignore the biggest tournament of the format while deciding on GOAT status.

He has played only 2. First time alongside some of the greatest. Second time he was not a total failure. He got a 100 agianst Pakistan

 

[MP2011]

Safe to say, if Kohli stays till 50th over, we'll win.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli & Dhoni have similar no. of ODI runs. Just that Kohli averages full 10-runs more than Dhoni and has played 116 innings lesser.

 

[WengerOut]

Thala is so calm. Kohli need to support him.

 

[Stalin]

Safe to say, if Kohli stays till 50th over, we'll win.

48th is enough.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Safe to say, if Kohli stays till 50th over, we'll win.

You won as soon as they crossed 150 without losing kohli.

 

[MP2011]

48th is enough.

For that we need to fire from both ends, which sadly we can't.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Really? Aren't you a die hard supporter of someone who averages 40 with the ball and 29 with the bat? Is that not enough to reveal his quality?

You missed a small thing str rate :116.
As a bowler he has the same avg as bhuvi but he is an allrounder so he can compensate for it unlike MR spearhead.

 

[jagatk]

Yes, let the fun begin.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli gone and with this India's hopes.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Australia WIN the series...

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Game over

 

[MP2011]

Thank you Dhoni.

 

[Varun]

Game over.

Grats, Australia.

 

[Stalin]

Congrats Australia on a odi series win after one and half year.

 

[Hasan2K8]

He is human after all.

Shot was there to be hit, just didnt get it under enough.

 

[jagatk]

He has played only 2. First time alongside some of the greatest. Second time he was not a total failure. He got a 100 agianst Pakistan

1 hundred in the game which is a W for India before it begins isn't really enough cover for averaging 40 in world cup.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

India won't even reach Semis lol

 

[jagatk]

Kohli & Dhoni have similar no. of ODI runs. Just that Kohli averages full 10-runs more than Dhoni and has played 116 innings lesser.

And doesn't have average inflating not outs to make him look better than he is.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Lyon’s over Dhoni will go massive
