India (399/5) defeat Australia (217) by 99 runs (DLS target 317) to win the 2nd ODI

[vodafone_lover]

I predit aus 320 all out

It will be under 250 max

 

[Devadwal]

I'll support Australia in next match for a win .we need a loss before world cup against Australia

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

What if India win this series with 3-0 but lost the important world cup Game .

The best way India can prep for the match is by winning whatever we can. No point thinking about what iffs.

I want them to try their best, results are really secondary.

 

[vprasanna83]

So do PPers still believe that India somehow get the better of the conditions?

 

[kron]

Both he and umran malik need to be fast tracked for tests

Where is umran malik. Wasn't he some tear away quick like Spencer Johnson. Injured I presume.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Indian team right now is very strong even thier bench strength is working nicely. Only Eng and pak can defeat this indian team.

 

[kron]

So do PPers still believe that India somehow get the better of the conditions?

No I mean if india can win this which looks likely then its just an absolute domination here. Full credit to India.

I guess with India being very good, it's a matter of whether they can hold their nerves in ko stages. Same with Pakistan, Aussies and whoever makes semis. 2 games under pressure. Whoever handles it best will win.

 

[Devadwal]

Where is umran malik. Wasn't he some tear away quick like Spencer Johnson. Injured I presume.

Umran Malik only has pace but no skill so far .he need to learn a lot before coming back to Indian team

 

[vprasanna83]

We have bowlers of lesser pace who are better than him . We in India aren’t all crazy about pace

 

[kron]

I

Jadeja is such a fraud. Does nothing and still keeps playing in all games, across formats.

really don't see why india pick him. Axar and sundar look better.

 

[DJhant]

Both he and umran malik need to be fast tracked for tests

Malik is not yet matured at that level, I dont think he paid too many FC anyway

 

[Devadwal]

Prasidh is bowling with 144kph speed

 

[vprasanna83]

I

When the important games in the World Cup happen , you will realise his value .

He is a big match player

 

[karthikc]

We have bowlers of lesser pace who are better than him . We in India aren’t all crazy about pace

This mindset is what never allowed fast bowlers to flourish in our country since the days of Pataudi

 

[Abhilash93]

Prasidh Krishna on fire !

 

[Devadwal]

Warner is looking in good touch. If Warner played untill 30 over then Australia have very good chance of chasing this score

 

[vprasanna83]

This mindset is what never allowed fast bowlers to flourish in our country since the days of Pataudi

It has changed honestly and that’s why we have superb pacers these days .

But we aren’t obsessed with pace. With the advent of bowling machines , raw pace bothers batsmen much lesser these days . Seam , Swing , Guile with good pace is far more important

 

[happydavy]

We were lost that game due to batsman not becouse bowlers .

Point is not why we lost but about the selection. Shami was one of the top wicket takers in that tournament and certainly for India while playing half the matches. Bhuvi was chosen over Shami for his better batting and he was out for 0. This make belief world of Indian cricket where they assume that Thakur will win a match with bat, and hence Shami won't play is what irks me.

 

[karthikc]

Prasidh getting some good old tonking

 

[Devadwal]

Change the field or bowl round the wicket to Warner

 

[Devadwal]

Prasidh getting some good old tonking

We have enough run so let them do Hard work

 

[kron]

When the important games in the World Cup happen , you will realise his value .

Really. What big match has he won for you guys?

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped? No

 

[vprasanna83]

Really. What big match has he won for you guys?

On a spinning wicket , there are few better bowlers than him . Deadly accurate and will keep hitting the right spots .

And batting is a great guy to have in a close chase

 

[Devadwal]

Good partnership is building for Australia .

 

[kron]

Prasidh is fast. 138 to 146 so far.

 

[Devadwal]

Prasidh is fast. 138 to 146 so far.

He is fast as he Bowl most delivery above 140+

 

[Devadwal]

Turn for Ashwin on flat pitch

 

[Rajdeep]

Good thing about Ashwin is whole year he works on his youtube channel but come world cup he becomes part of Indian team.

 

[Devadwal]

Rain around the corner

 

[kron]

Prasidh is impressive. He looks like the next guy in line.

And for your information, i dint say Pace is everything. You need skill like swing. Bounce etc but pace with either one of the above or a combo of the listed skills above makes the bowler deadly

Most top bowlers had the ability to bowl at pace in conjunction with either ability to swing or bowl with consistent bounce.

Look at McGrath Ambrose and garner etc. They are not the quickest yet they were effective. Why? Cause they have the ability to generate bounce at hard lengths and then can manipulate their lengths at will.

You can't just be a pure swing bowler. You will never succeed in non bowling friendly conditions. To be an all conditions type bowler you need pace plus bounce.

Even McGrath and co were quick in their prime at around 135-140. He only bowled 125-130 once he turned 33 etc.

You don't need express pace but you still need pace. I hope that makes sense.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

We start losing overs already, not good for aus

 

[Devadwal]

It's heavy rain .DLS might favour Australia as they can Chase short Target even Required run rate is 13-14 .

 

[gazza619]

This Indian team is getting scarier by the day.

Pakistan would be hoping that India lands on the field with overconfidence on 14 October.

 

[kron]

Will it be rainy mostly in India during the world cup in the locations selected?
I remember chennai being dry when we won the test match there.

 

[Devadwal]

India- Pakistan match is totally dependent on Shaheen first spell . if Shaheen take 2 wickets in first 5-6 over then it's Pakistan game.

 

[Devadwal]

Will it be rainy mostly in India during the world cup?

Most likely no but there can be little bit drizzle in one the the place but 95% match are not going to affect due to rains

 

[happydavy]

It's heavy rain .DLS might favour Australia as they can Chase short Target even Required run rate is 13-14 .

They lost 2 wickets and hence the game even in case dls intervene

 

[U$ofA]

I think India is a genuine contender for the WC. They have a very good team. All departments covered. They have three top line fast bowlers, plenty of spin options of different varieties and a very good batting line up.

In the ongoing series, they are missing almost half of their first choice eleven. Still they are just pretty much steam rolling. That too not any team, Australia.

I would say a lot of credit goes to Dravid for putting together this set of players. Also to VVS Laxman to get KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer match ready.

Fielding department is not upto the mark.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

This is how you build bench strength. All those losses during useless bilaterals that were doled out due to sending B teams was to identify the guys who can potentially be the backup to the main team. Now, they're all showing up in unison.

I also believe we're not peaking early but rather peaking at the right time. Anyways, the great teams never worked that way. They won everything without any notions of peaking at the right time or peaking far too early.

 

[Devadwal]

Targets for Australia according to DLS method
354 in 40 overs
328 in 35 overs

 

[Devadwal]

Not on this ground. Any team can score 12-13 runs per over in this ground .

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Lol, its beyond

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Also depends upon the initial swing we get that day. Unlike Naseem who can seam the ball both ways off the pitch, Shaheen relies more on swing. Naseem would've been a greater threat on any surface, 'IF' he pitched the ball fuller. He always bowled the defensive good length / back of a good length, so he always missed the edge. So, if those initial 2 overs of Shaheen can be negated and positive intent can be shown, then we stand a terrific chance.

India- Pakistan match is totally dependent on Shaheen first spell . if Shaheen take 2 wickets in first 5-6 over then it's Pakistan game.

Almost all top teams do that not only to manage the workload but also prepare for the impending transition.

 

[FearlessRoar]

The rain has passed and the covers are off. Play to resume in 10 minutes
Revised target is 317 off 33 overs, which means Australia now need 261 more runs in 24 overs.

Australia have chance now .they just need 10.50 Run per over which is avarage at his Venue

 

[Devadwal]

Three bowlers can bowl a maximum of seven overs while two bowlers can bowl six overs each.
This means both prasidh and Shami can Bowl 3 over each .

 

[Devadwal]

Thakur is giving two hit me Ball in every over and bowl one Jaffa .

 

[Devadwal]

Shami is showing his football skills but be careful about injury

 

[Devadwal]

Thakur is bowling badly as usual .hope we don't Play him in world cup

 

[Devadwal]

Warner is playing as an Righty

 

[Devadwal]

Wow he scored a boundary

 

[Devadwal]

Clean Bowled .

 

[Devadwal]

Jadeja vs Warner is going to great contest

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Thakur is bowling rubbish as usual .hope we don't Play him in world cup

Surely Indian batting is so strong don't need him. Shami as 3rd seamer is deadly.

Gill
Rohit
Virat
Iyer
Rahul
Sky
Pandya
Jadeja
Shami/Ashwin
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Siraj

Deadly team

Is India being allowed to play 12?
One of Iyer and sky will have to sit out. I think Iyer

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Thakur is bowling rubbish as usual .hope we don't Play him in world cup

Playing these Half baked 'Dual role' bowlers like Thakur was the prime reason we were bashed in the CT'17 finals. We never seem to learn anything at all. Either play good allrounders who are dependable atleast in 1 of the 2 skills ; if that option is not there then play specialists.

 

[FearlessRoar]

David Warner is lifting the game

Aus 89/3 (12.5/33 ov, T:317)

 

[Devadwal]

Warner gone . Ash take another wicket

 

[Devadwal]

How can Warner missed that there was a edge.

 

[Devadwal]

Ashwin is bowling beautifully

 

[FearlessRoar]

Three quick wickets for Ashwin and Australia are now 5-101

All eyes on Alex Carey now

 

[Devadwal]

3rd wicket for Ashwin and now his world cup ticket is mostly confirmed

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin has bowled very well here

 

[Devadwal]

Ashwin is bowling like test match on a flat wickets . just wonderfull

 

[Mockingbird]

There is no debate now- India has to play Ashwin against a team packed with left hand batsmen. The injury to Axar couldn’t have happened at a better time.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gill probably can claim to be one of the best batsman in the world across formats , genuine ATG material.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin and Kuldeep ?

 

[FearlessRoar]

Australia need 199 runs in 99 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin and Jadeja bowling together in OD after long long time

 

[kron]

Australia need 199 runs in 99 balls

Not impossible tbh but very tough

 

[Justcrazy]

Fraudeja getting tonked

It does not matter , Jadeja place in XI is fixed.

 

[Justcrazy]

Not impossible tbh but very tough

They do not have batting to do that.

 

[Devadwal]

Ashwin and Kuldeep ?

We can play Jadeja, kuldeep and Ashwin + Pandya,Siraj and Bumraj on spin friendly venue

 

[MP2011]

It does not matter , Jadeja place in XI is fixed.

That's the problem for us. He is just a freeloader.

 

[Mockingbird]

Ashwin and Kuldeep ?

Why not? Kuldeep. His angle differs from a regular offie.

 

[Ahmed216]

There is no debate now- India has to play Ashwin against a team packed with left hand batsmen. The injury to Axar couldn’t have happened at a better time.

I was actually baffled when I didn't see Ashwins name in the original squad. He will be real force .especially if there's help in the surface he can be unplayable

 

[Justcrazy]

India would have to think hard in selecting the bowlers in the playing XI , too many options.
