What's new

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

That would make a really long tail imo
Yeah but who needs tail to provide some quick runs if we have:

R Sharma
S Dhawan
V Kohli
B Azam
M Hafeez/KL Rahul
MS Dhoni

Kuldeep
M Amir
Y Chahal
M Shami
SS Afridi
 
I hope pakistan is watching this match very closely and looking at how sensibly indian openers played starc and Cummins .. As counter nile is out of form and other that ther is only zampa as front liner. Stoinis and Maxwell need to be targeted. Very weak bowling attack frm Australia
 
Dhawan streaky - two boundaries behind the wicket so far.
 
shaheen and amir are so so inferior to shami.
Can’t say anything about Shaheen but Amir provides a wicket in crunch situations when the going gets tough.

However Shami can use the new ball much better than Amir atm.

Any bowling line up seems weak when bettered by opposition, didnt seem so weak vs eng in warmups

It's not that easy to negotiate Starc & Cummins .you need some luck also
 
I think Rohit has started to put value to his wicket even early in the innings.
 
India will win this easily.Unless a sudden collapse occurs which i dont see happening for now.
 
:4: Late cut by Shikhar Stache Dhawan

54/0

Stache...:)........speaking of SD, he's not playing the upper cut that he used to play so much when he first arrived in team.....champions trophy 2013- finals ind vs eng , he oooper-cut Stuart Broad for six...that shot was diamond crazy....Wasim on commentry went 'unreal, simply unreal'....:)...hope we get to see that in this WC

Agreed.

See off Starc and Cummins, then absolutely clobber the rest of the bowlers. Very easy to bat against.
 
Man this Sachin is only about me me meeee.
Talk about the damm match. No one want to hear what you achieved during your school cricket days.

Haha i called this off 35 mins ago, really pathetic ,not just him viru and other guys keep asking him one or other que about his time
 
I hope Dhawan releases his autobiography after he finishes his career because I want to know how he conditions himself for ICC tournaments and I'm sure he will have a lot to say about Rohit's selfish batting at the other end in the first 10-15 overs.
 
Openers have done well but still hey need to up the ante now.
Starc has only bowled 3 overs, cummins 5 it will be difficult for middle order to accelerate against them
 
Agreed.

well in Pakistan case usually even if they see off strike bowlers they end up gifting wickets to some part-timer or weak bowlers because they never get out of shell in first 10 to 15 overs.
where else India got 81 in 15
 
Really hoping for sharma to get 100 And that too with runner ball lr atleast 110 strike rate,he should be the one to score 700+ this wc:faf
 
Wow viru and Tendulkar replaced in hindi com and suddnly annoyance is abolished ,they shud let tendu commentry on condition of not using me word or his career

India are so classy.

What a side, so clinical.

Still my pick to lift the trophy!
 
I think Finch missed a trick by bowling Starc only for 3 overs in his first spell.
 
Your premier bowler has to bowl at least 5 overs in his opening spell.
 
Dont know why people call this slow start ,100 runs in 120 balls at no loss is good. They can get to run a ball by 30 overs and then target 350-360 easily only if they save wickets for now, with india middle order collapse is always around the corner ,its not like eng where u effectively dont have tail

I'd say 325.
 
Dhawan is proof of the fact that pressure is self-inflicted. For him, batting in tournaments is no different to batting in bilaterals, and I think the reason why he is more successful in tournaments is because he feeds on the pressure of the opposition bowlers.
 
Imagine how good Roy & Rohit would be together opening for the world XI.

I'd rather either ahead of Warner.

Something to learn for [MENTION=135492]emranabbas[/MENTION]
 
Dhawan averages close to 66 in ICC trophies while averages 41 in bilaterals.
 
There's no way Australia are chasing anything.

Great win for India
 
111/0 after 20. From here need to bat @ 6 RPO for the next 10 overs.

As i type , cut shot for :4: by RoHit :fifty:
 
Last time Aus lost in a WC chase was way back in 1999.. almost a 20 match streak.
 
The conditioning of Indian cricketers is top notch. The combination of Dhoni and Ganguly’s captaincy, the IPL and the overall improvement in their cricket culture has transformed them into a giant cricket team.

In my view, they are the only team that stands between England and the World Cup. People need to stop overrating Australia because of myths and perceptions.
 
They haven't played a single rash shot and RR reaching 6 RPO. Thats comforting and easy on the eyes..
