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

[Mahee]

Smith is such a dangerous batsman... might get an 100 here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Aus chasing 359 odd without Warner, Smith and being hit by someone for 70 odd with SR of 200 who isnt in the WC squad? Was it the ultimate troll?

Sad thing is it actually happened, unlike your wishful thinking.

Yeah when the ball came on to the bat under lights because of dew. Such things do happen. Happened in the Asia cup as well when we smashed a certain attack and chased 238 for the loss of 1 wicket

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Warner playing one of the worst world cup innings i have seen in a long time

 

[Titan24]

Pandya averages 40 with the bowl and has less than 1 wicket per match after 46 matches for a reason. Might get few flukes today with batsmen trying to destroy him.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

How can u struggle against pandya

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mate. Just look at him.
He can't middle a ball for his life. The guy's ducking 135k bouncers from Pandya. )

He could improve but as of now he looks finished.

You are under-estimating Hardik's effort balls. He is very good hard length bowler. After injury he has lost a bit of accuracy. Otherwise he can be good. He won a test with his bowling in England. He ripped through ENgland with channel bowling.

 

[hur rizvi]

I thought after the 1 year ban, Smith would find it harder to recover but it's actually Warner who's playing like Misbah.
Smith is the same Smith which is good for aus.

Smith is class

Warner depends a lot on intuition and hand-eye coordination

 

[topspin]

Australia wouldn't have selected him if he was past his best. They are warm up games unless you watched every ball its difficult to make conclusions.

If he is still batting like this in a few games time I'll jump on the bandwagon. But I am going to wait a few games before calling him finished.

I'm not saying he's finished, not at all - that's just OTT! I'm just saying with his current form, Australia's captain and management need to think about it.

 

[szundercover]

After warner gets out alex Carey should be in next ,he is an top order player.

 

[jnaveen1980]

How can u struggle against pandya

Let us see how smith"dismantles" pandya. Pandya can be an awkward customer.

They're just selecting him coz of his name.
Why are you so adamant?? Just accept Warner isn't the same. Smith is the same; Warner isn't.
It's not so hard

 

[bluevision]

Why Kohli is still persisting with Pandya, he has done his part in the match. Take him out of the attack before the damage becomes irreversible!

 

[Zeshan547]

Never saw an Australian so out of his depth on the big stage, Match losing inning this is

 

[Titan24]

We are supposedly a poor team and your team is ranked no 2 so arent you suppose to do better than what happened in the match against Aus.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Sure mate.

 

[Mkumar825]

Australia in strong posting to win the game .still 9 wicket reaming

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

are india bowling slow over rate here?

 

[Hasan123]

They're just selecting him coz of his name.
Why are you so adamant?? Just accept Warner isn't the same. Smith is the same; Warner isn't.
It's not so hard

I'm not saying he isn't finished but I'm not saying he will come back to his best.

I am waiting to see a few more games before making a judgment.

I'm I allowed to do that ? You are no one to tell.me how to think.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

this is difficult wicket, how on earth ind score 350?

 

[bluevision]

I miss those 90s decorative drinks-carts..sigh

 

[Hasan123]

I'm not saying he's finished, not at all - that's just OTT! I'm just saying with his current form, Australia's captain and management need to think about it.

Australia are ruthless with selection. They could drop him but it won't be for the next game.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Warner paying tribute to Gavaskar here )

Why is pandya bowling, he's the reason the run rate is close to 5, going at 7+ while others are going at 4

 

[topspin]

Shaun marsh deserves to be in the side ,he has been in a very very good form recently,,.Make use of this form for the sake of the team.

Yeah Australia need think about reverting to the team before his return (minus Handscomb) with Khawaja opening the bat and Marsh in the middle-order.

If he does go on to fail in this game, it would be nonsensical for Australia to persist with him for their next contest against Pakistan.

 

[Titan24]

That's why he's out of WC squad! )

Being better bowler than Pandya alone doesnt get you selected for the Pak squad for WC unfortunately.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why Kohli is still persisting with Pandya, he has done his part in the match. Take him out of the attack before the damage becomes irreversible!

Kohli has this bad habit of being obsessed with finishing up 5th bowler quota. Honestly you should keep some overs of Pandya as well for the back end. WHat if they target Bhuvi.

 

[DeadBall]

this is difficult wicket, how on earth ind score 350?

Brainless death bowling.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Warner can turn it around in few balls.. dangerous customer

 

[Mkumar825]

Warner now looking for big hundred

 

[Hasan123]

Steve Smith may need to accelerate due to Warners troubles.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Warner has confidence issues. Even against Afghanistan he was a bit conservative mostly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Steve Smith may need to accelerate due to Warners troubles.

Smith should bat through. It is warner should take chance. Smith is their match winner at this point.

 

[Napa]

Why Kohli is still persisting with Pandya, he has done his part in the match. Take him out of the attack before the damage becomes irreversible!

Last 3 overs, Pandya has gone for about 4.5 rpo. We need a fifth bowler and the alternative to Pandya is Jhadav, so it makes sense to continue with Pandya.

 

[Chokli]

India's game to lose.

Australia going to come hard on Pak

 

[Zeshan547]

Aussie playing worse than BD, who would have thought

 

[Mkumar825]

Need one wicket as soon as

 

[topspin]

David Warner v Afghanistan in WCs

2015: 178 off 133 balls @ SR of 133.83

2019: 89 off 114 balls @ SR: 78.07

 

[Hasan123]

This maybe an a over Australia target.

 

[Titan24]

yes Pakistan has such stalwarts in the team already

We have better bowlers than Pandya in the team for sure.

 

[Hasan123]

Smith should bat through. It is warner should take chance. Smith is their match winner at this point.

Don't want the run rate to get too high.

 

[hur rizvi]

Smith needs to keep rotating against Kulcha

 

[jnaveen1980]

David Warner v Afghanistan in WCs

2015: 178 off 133 balls @ SR of 133.83

2019: 89 off 114 balls @ SR: 78.07

Yes. His feet movement is less decisive. HE is not confident with his feet movement.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Smith is brilliant

 

[szundercover]

Audsies playing worse than BD, who would have thought

I wont Australia to loose by 140 runs it will make sure the aussies run rate will drop down immensely.I dont see the aussies in the semis tbh.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't want the run rate to get too high.

SMith is not a slogger. He is a builder albeit a fast builder when needed with singles and twos.

 

[topspin]

Khawaja looked depressed there and one can understand why.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Smith going slow too lol

 

[Zeshan547]

This seems as if Warner is losing it on purpose,, very strange inning

 

[jnaveen1980]

Smith is showing why he is so consistent. HE relies on singles and twos for majority of the innings not fours and sixes. Babar Azam can learn a bit.

 

[Chokli]

Khawaja looked depressed there and one can understand why.

Very unfair to Khawaja that Warner took his place.

Khawaja scored 90 odd after being 10-2 last time they chased 350 odd

 

[Hasan123]

Chahal doesn't bowl as quickly as Kuldeep.

 

[Titan24]

Aus needs to target the spinners, you cant chase 350 + by doing not much in the 20 overs of spin.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

If Warner gets out Australia will have a chance to win

 

[topspin]

Yes. His feet movement is less decisive. HE is not confident with his feet movement.

I don't think Australia will persist with him if he fails today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Khawaja was brutally exposed by short balls in the last match. Hence he has gone down the pecking order. SO i heard.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Why is Warner playing at such a slow strike rate? I knew that when he came back from his ban that he'll be ineffective.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bad ball Kuldeep

 

[hur rizvi]

Steve Smith may need to accelerate due to Warners troubles.

warner needs to make something happen or get out

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Smith is very consistent

 

[jnaveen1980]

Asking rate 8.30

 

[Mahee]

This Smith guy is playing really well

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Warner’s Innings today

 

[szundercover]

Aussie fans probably will be crucifying somewhere lol

Lol my I am watching the match from perth with my Aussie friends and they are absolutely furious at warner,calling him a cheat and other things.

 

[Gilly]

After 19.1 overs India were only 5 runs ahead.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Ganguly and Atherton are boring AF. It’s like listening to some slow soft voiced poem.

 

[bluevision]

Is the crowd sledging Sandpaper duo yet? Too bad that our supporters are not that creative in terms of banter..

 

[Pakistani Pace]

0 Aggressiveness shown

 

[Hasan2K8]

The difference is Tamim has a SR of 78, while Warner's is 96. The difference in their SRs exceeds 20%.

Who’s talking about differences?
Am talking about todays match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol my I am watching the match from perth with my Aussie friends and they are absolutely furious at warner,calling him a cheat and other things.

yea.. going at a run rate of 4.96 is not going to help. Pitch will only get slower as the ball gets older, spinners will get more purchase. They should have scored in the second 10 overs, if not first 10.

 

[Ronaldo7]

0 Aggressiveness shown

Aggression you mean.

 

[topspin]

Very unfair to Khawaja that Warner took his place.

Khawaja scored 90 odd after being 10-2 last time they chased 350 odd

Indeed and Warner has been batting at a sub-80 SR since his return to the side. Demoting an in-form Khawaja isn't going to help Australia, if Warner continues to bat sedately as he has in his last 4 games (since first warm-up).

 

[jnaveen1980]

SMith is getting booed lol ENglish crowd is going to boo both these players.

 

[bantu]

Australia is following the exact blueprint of Indian innings in this chase ... and they bat deep ...

 

[jnaveen1980]

May be lot of booing got to him?

 

[Abdullah]

Smith is scaring me, looks like he has got this the way he is coming across at the crease.
But he can't have , surely

 

[topspin]

Who’s talking about differences?
Am talking about todays match.

You're missing the point!

Warner can be forgiven for batting slowly because he has batted briskly in his career, whereas Tamim hasn't - as displayed with the SR differences.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

If Australia are at 160-1 after 30, it's an advantage for them. India needs wickets or they're gone.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Technically in WC pitches like these, bat first get close to 350 and win the match.

 

[topspin]

May be lot of booing got to him?

I just think he's short of match practice. Mentally he's very tough, as one would expect from a high class Aussie player.

 

[szundercover]

Smith is scaring me, looks like he has got this the way he is coming across at the crease.
But he can't have , surely

Still rember how he hit wahab for that six in the world t20 ,I Hope wahab has learned his lesson .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yea.. Any aussies can hurt us. We always get smoked by a random aussie.
