India v Australia | 1st ODI | Pune | Oct 13, 2013

[Munna]

The ODI series between India and Australia commences today.

First ODI Match begins in around 35 minutes.

Let's see who wins the toss!

 

[Aman]

Australia batting first, it should be interesting.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Advantage Australia. 280 odd would be a challenging total for India.

Sarcasm?

India can chase anything.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ramiz, Wasim are still here. Thought they had terminated their contracts. Good to see them.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Sarcasm?

India can chase anything.

Yea these days, i would have my hopes alive even if India is chasing down 350 runs, but on an average i would say 280 would be the minimum requirement for Australia. Anything below that would be a cakewalk for India.

Advantage Aus because they have won an important toss and taken the right decision.

Not really, I wouldn't like to set a total against India because 98/100 times they'll chase it down. Your best chance is to have them bat first and then go for it against their bowlers.

Negative thinking. India can chase anything,. thats just their evolution. Others team out there are still stuck in the 90s mode and pee in their pants while chasing big targets. Aussies dont even have an experienced middle order, their best bet at setting a good total is while batting first on a sunny day when the pitch is flat as this one is.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think India can chase down 300 , the kind of fire power they have.

It's not negative thinking, it's called stating facts

I agree , Aussies best chance is to Bat first and then Hope The bowlers can get early wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kumar can be dangerous with new ball, Aussies should not take him lightly.

 

[chaiwala]

Our opening bowlers...both under 130kph

 

[Justcrazy]

Good start by India , just 2 of first over

 

[Justcrazy]

Do not think India would mind chasing here.

 

[Spidy201]

justcrazy ready to make 50k runs in this 7odi ind vs aus series

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bhuvi troubling the batsmen as expected.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kumar 2 maidens in 2 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bhuvi is the best new ball bowler currently in shorter format , arguably

 

[Bhaijaan]

LOL what a shot! :4 #class

 

[Justcrazy]

13 / 0 after 5

Indians have kept things tight here.

 

[Robbie]

Where is umesh yadav?..

 

[Justcrazy]

14 / 0 after 6

 

[Convict]

Finch is so hopeless when the ball moves.

 

[Justcrazy]

:6 :4 :6

15 of that over

 

[HASHAM2]

15 runs Against B.Kumar in last Over

 

[battler]

Finch is so hopeless when the ball moves.

Has a problem with the inswinger but he's all right otherwise.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Hughes gets into action.

 

[Sandeep]

Meh.. India chasing really doesn't bring interest! Would have been nice if we batted first

 

[eradicator]

Odis are useless without the Great SRT.

 

[Aman]

Meh.. India chasing really doesn't bring interest! Would have been nice if we batted first

These days it's the Dhawan and Kohli show up to the 40th over then MSD, Yuvraj and Raina finish it off.

Seen it so many times that it's gotten boring and predictable?

 

[Sandeep]

We're playing pretty much our best batting unit after a long time..

Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Raina!

 

[Robbie]

What a great batting pitch. You can hit through the line.

 

[HASHAM2]

Good start by Aussies

 

[Justcrazy]

42 / 0

 

[Sandeep]

Yep! Seriously...

 

[Sandeep]

Ravi 'Bias' Shastri was saying this was a tricky pitch to bat on.. Just see how batsmen from both sides are going to murder the bowlers

 

[Sandeep]

Ishant 'gift' Sharma arrives )

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good start so far from Australia.

 

[Sandeep]

Ishant Sharma needs to go away for India's good.. Really can't understand the pathetic levels of our bowling when this guy is playing continuously and being termed as main bowler

 

[Justcrazy]

Ishant now.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Hit for a few more.

 

[HASHAM2]

Aussies should go After Ishant

 

[CrowingRooster]

Single taken for the 50

 

[Sandeep]

Aussies should go After Ishant

No advice needed. They'd go after every one of them )

 

[CrowingRooster]

Hit hard for nothing.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Ashwin into the attack.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Indian fans hoping he does better than his performnce in the t20

 

[Justcrazy]

50 up

 

[HASHAM2]

Finch should go after Ashwin

 

[CrowingRooster]

Single taken

 

[CrowingRooster]

Hit for one more

 

[CrowingRooster]

Dropped catch

 

[Robbie]

Its ridiculous seeing how india keep its promising young bowlers like umesh and mohit under wraps while TTFs like ishant and vinay keep on getting games.

 

[HASHAM2]

Ishant is wicket taker
He created Chance in 2nd over

 

[CrowingRooster]

He should have got that easily

 

[HASHAM2]

No 135kph Plus bowl from Indian Fast bowler,s yet

 

[Justcrazy]

India would not mind chasing 300 here.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Kohli drops a catch.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Nice shot for four

 

[CrowingRooster]

Finch looking good now

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ishant being butchered.

 

[HASHAM2]

Ishant hAHHAHAHAH

 

[CrowingRooster]

And another boundary

 

[Sandeep]

And he keeps getting chances )

 

[CrowingRooster]

Bad over

[Justcrazy]

12 overs

 

[CrowingRooster]

Hit real good. SIX!

 

[CrowingRooster]

Really trying to attack every ball

 

[Justcrazy]

[CrowingRooster]

Has to make sure he doesn't lose his cool

 

[CrowingRooster]

Another boundary for Finch

 

[HASHAM2]

[Sandeep]

I won't be surprised if Finch becomes the first Australian to score a double..

 

[CrowingRooster]

Hit into the air for a single

 

[Justcrazy]

74 of 13 overs

 

[Aman]

Finch could get a double here
