Starting to understand why no Aussies have turned up at the Oval to watch today !!! #CWC2019

)

Anyone know what this is.

 

[Hasan123]

Khawaja is looking better.

 

[Chokli]

We had this helpless feeling in wc2003 final and wc2015 semi final against Australia whle chasing 300 plus totals. Now we know how hard it is to chase in a world cup.

Always bat first in crunch games unless conditions say otherwise ala World Cup Final 1999.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Let us see whether this is a 352 pitch or 300 pitch.

 

[oneindia]

Aussie onslaught is on now

 

[Titan24]

They have hard hitters down the order, we don't which is why we need our front line batsmen to play a little bit faster to make up for not having hard hitters.

True but hopefully with Hafeez coming in form and Asif Ali clicking down the order we will be fine. However, its not the fault of Babar and Imam that we couldnt find the right balance in some matches.

 

[Chokli]

They need to take Pandya for 20 runs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

As the world cup progresses teams will start depending on spinners more. Even bowlers with change ups will be far more effective.

 

[Amirforpresident]

.

So who is your team now?

 

[jnaveen1980]

They need to take Pandya for 20 runs.

It is not easy to attack him as one thinks with 4 fielders outside the circle. He has a lot of variations.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think so far India has looked the most balanced team.

 

[Chokli]

True but hopefully with Hafeez coming in form and Asif Ali clicking down the order we will be fine. However, its not the fault of Babar and Imam that we couldnt find the right balance in some matches.

Not their fault at all, they are doing well.

We're just missing Hafeez pre-chuck and a decent all rounder like Afridi/Razzaq.

 

[watchman99]

Time for Bumrah?

 

[NauV]

Australia has lost only 2 wickets . . Defies logic the way they have batted/are batting . . For people saying, they are trying to keep their NRR in check . . Well, I'd understand doing that once they had lost a chance of winning . . They never even attempted . . They sent khawaja in when they knew they were way behind the rate

 

[imshally81]

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think they should drop Zampa. He is a wicket taker. But he bowls 2 buffet balls every over. Lyon should be in the starting XI. INdia's nemesis Lyon may not be that effective in one dayers. But would have been economical and bowled his quota out.

 

[Red Devil]

This is reminiscent of our ODI batting in the Misbah era. )

 

[imshally81]

 

[Zeshan547]

Now one would imagine why they are successfuly hitting the best bowler the planet has ever seen?

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent shot by Khawaja.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Australia need to leave around 100 runs in last 10 overs to have any chance

 

[Justcrazy]

Khawaja finally plays a big shot

 

[oneindia]

Khwaja is on attack now.... Aus will brutalize bowlers now.

 

[Chokli]

Australia would be in a much better position if they stuck with Khawaja opening.

 

[Shoaib88]

Now one would imagine why they are successfuly hitting the best bowler the planet has ever seen?

Bumrah isn't bowling yet...

 

[Mkumar825]

Bhumrah have 6 over left ,why not giving him 2 over spell??

 

[jnaveen1980]

Khawaja in charge !! 153 in 14 overs.. Attainable very much. India made 116 in the last 10

 

[jnaveen1980]

Boom Boom Bumrah c ome on.

 

[Mkumar825]

11 out of 14 over will be bowl by bumrah & bhuvi. Give 2 over spell for them ,save chahal vs Maxwell.

 

[barah_admi]

OK khawaja making a go of it but smiths Sr has actually decreased. This is hilarious.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nice analysis of Warner by Sangakkara. He has picked up some bad habits. He is giving too much room.

 

[MenInG]

Warning. For the last time.

Stay on topic.

Do not post inappropriate things.

Steer clear of baseless fixing allegations.

Getting a bit too much - bans will follow now

 

[Shoaib88]

Maxwell,carry,stoinis and coulter nile to come for the final strike.

Thats why I said hes a bit late, with so many hitters still to come, this 'strike' should have started few overs ago

 

[MMHS]

Have to say, quite strange tactics by Aussies - allowed asking to reach 11 with wickets at hand and spinners overs are almost done. But, I probably would have liked to have something like 243-4 at this stage, rather than 201-4.

 

[oneindia]

Bumrah bowling beauties here, every dot ball counts, with RR creeping to 12, each dot means next have to be a boundry.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kedar Jadhav's over ruined India somewhat.

 

[Chokli]

Khawaja did his job.

 

[Mkumar825]

You miss, I hit - Bhumrah

 

[Ronaldo7]

Wth was that??

 

[Ab Fan]

Smith playing such a big match losing inning.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He couldn't play bumrah with straight bat So some fancy shot.

 

[szundercover]

Smith playing such a big match losing inning.

smith needs to be there till the end.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Australia made a big mistake

That's not the way you plan to chase 350. You don't add the extra 50 runs in the last 10 overs. You instead spread around.

In 300 chase teams go like:
100 runs by 20 overs
200 runs by 40 overs
300 runs by 50 overs

In 350 chase teams should go like:
120 runs by 20 overs
240 runs by 40 overs
350 runs by 50 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

In my view very few guys play with so much freedom while chasing. Butler, Kohli are the two going around.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Couldn’t care any less how bad Aus is today or have become since 2015. They’ve won 5 times, 3 in a row once. It’s time for England, someone else to win the WC. Got bored of Aus domination

 

[Mkumar825]

Need Maxwell wicket

 

[WengerOut]

Need an Abdul Razzaq kind of innings here

 

[Mkumar825]

Or india??

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

smith needs to be there till the end.

Yes till the end to make sure Australia looses by less than 50 runs

 

[captain.hansolo]

Getting a bit too much - bans will follow now

about time. the jingoism and absurdity is getting out of hand.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Full on Indian crowd. Silence when Maxi hitted four

 

[Shoaib88]

Big show needs to put up a big show here to save it for the aussies

 

[Mkumar825]

Bakwas bowling

 

[jnaveen1980]

Need an Abdul Razzaq kind of innings here

I am trying to recall who has played such counter attacking innings while chasing in a world cup. Maxie can do that already 9 runs in 3 balls

 

[spiderreddy]

Anyone know what this is.

View attachment 92328

England's 50over WC trophy cabinet ?

 

[Titan24]

Bhuvi needs to be targeted big time for Aus to have a chance

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is our nemesis .. come on get him out.. This Bhuvi is useless when the ball is old.

 

[spiderreddy]

Need to get Maxwell out

 

[Mkumar825]

Need the bowling bumrah & chahal in tandon to get out Maxwell

 

[Justcrazy]

Maxwell looking aggressive here

 

[Titan24]

While Pak was playing B team in UAE against Aus but Maxwell was the difference throughout.

 

[szundercover]

After seeing all the indian trolls and especially the star sports promo ,I want india to loose today.

 

[Titan24]

As I have said number of times Bhuvi (Post new ball) and Pandya are the ones to target for any team. Also shouldnt let the spinners settle

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bhuvi getting a phainty. Aus is the only team who can win from this situation. India should really think about its 5th bowling option. Relying on useless bowlers like Pandya won't help in crucial matches.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the weaklink here. Australia has to absolutely destroy him. He has 4 overs left.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Jos Buttler has full filled his true potential. When Maxwell will?

 

[Justcrazy]

Next 3 - 4 overs will decide what Aussies are planning here

 

[Gilly]

England's 50over WC trophy cabinet ?

Winner.

 

[szundercover]

I love that fear in sanjays voice,keep it going maxi.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

India had the exact same runs at this point

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Ind were 236 at 40

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Scored level

 

[Mkumar825]

Australia crusing

 

[Pete Rose]

Once upon a time Manjrekar used to be a commentator

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Poor bowling from aus last 10

 

[Chokli]

I kind of want both teams to lose.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bhuvi getting a phainty. Aus is the only team who can win from this situation. India should really think about its 5th bowling option. Relying on useless bowlers like Pandya won't help in crucial matches.

1. Dhawan
2. Rohit
3. Kohli
4. Rahul
5. Dhoni
6. Pandya
7. Jadeja
8. Bhuvi
9. Shami
10. Bumrah
11. Chahal/Kuldeep

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Still India's game

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Is there a twist in the tale

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Will be a tight finish.
