What's new

India [352/5] defeat Australia [316] by 36 runs in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

We have misunderstood each other(lol)!
Amir is in decline and pak fans accept that.
Kohli looks to me to be in decline(still decent, but not the beast he used to be), but indian fans dont want to accept that!

lol I wasnt talking about Amir, what I was trying to say was that Virat (on a decline) is still better than all Pakistani batsmen (some of whom are kind of on their peak)
 
David Warner is not the beast anymore or he is just off color today?

he struggles early on, once set he can be dangerous.. Not giving quick start to Aussies these days, also putting pressure on finch...
 
Australia making Pakistan batting look really good!

I won't say he is on the decline. He has had these mini phases even when he was at the peak. Right now he is not at his best touch. That is true. But not on decline. Temporary lull. HE is still ranked world no.1 in Tests and ODIs. One reason he has been scratchy is he is skipping a lot of one dayers. Mostly Rohit leads the side. He plays all 3 formats. According to calendar he is the busiest cricketer in the world despite breaks. He takes time to be in sync with the Indian ODI line up
 
Having seen the way Warner pace his innings so sedately of late, he's clearly short of match practice. Pre-ban Warner would never have found himself 8 off 25 balls.

Australia made a blunder dropping Handscomb and making Khawaja bat at 3, when he actually prefers to bat against the harder ball in the first powerplay overs.

Ideally I would have Khawaja opening instead of Warner and promote Steve Smith to 3 and bring Handscomb in the side to occupy the spot at 4 or 5.

You can never write off the Aussies, but Handscomb's exclusion might leave them sweating a little bit more.
 
I believe Pak can beat Australia too.

Well done India, I guess you guys have it in the pocket.
 
Such a placid pitch....the best bowling attack in the world can't take even a single wicket in the first 10 overs
 
It's is better for Indian spinners to ball now bcz Australia will take chance against them
 
The absolute worst in this World Cup
To be fair, all the asian commies are bad!
They love to compliment their own team, constantly! Very embarrassing.
SENA commies, compliment the opposition team and let the opposition commies compliment their team. Alot more dignified!

Harsha and sunny ji are not like that
 
Australia have done so far by not losing a wicketin the PP like us, they have the fire power in the middle to make up for the slow start, looks uphill task though assuming that KulCha wont go for >100 runs collectively.
Pandya is leaking as I type; so advantage AUS in the first PP.
 
India 41/0 after 10 overs
Aus 48/0 after 10 overs.
 
Bhuvi (Post new ball) and Pandya are the bowlers teams need to target against India and ideally attacking spinners in their very first 2 overs to unsettle them.

Sangakkara has been amazing and some like Ramiz are bad but atleast entertaining. Ganguly is just absolute garbage
 
One over changed the complexion of match..... ATG Pandya :))
 
That's so unlucky lol, one over from a part timer and it's ruined the collective effort of the rest who've bowled brilliantly.

Agreed, no thrill and not much technical analysis of the game as well. KP, Sanga, Clarke, and Laxman are decent new additions to the world of commentary.
 
Warner thinks its a Test match or playing to please his IPL paymasters.
