India v Australia | 3rd ODI | Mohali | Oct 19, 2013

[Bhaijaan]

Match beginning in 4 and a half hours, series leveled at 1-1. Should be another good one.

 

[chaiwala]

Are we still playing Ishant and Vinay?

 

[Convict]

Fully expect Australia to get smashed 6-1

Just hoping Hughes and Bailey bat well to get into the Ashes team and that Faulkner and Johnson bowl well.

Bailey deserves a test run. He would do better than Ed Cowan. If Hughes fails, they can get Voges in. He has failed in a few innings here but he barely got 10-15 balls to face in both innings. He is another dude who can construct an innings well.

If India bats first,then i expect ur batsmen to chase down any target against our trundler brigade.

Cowan's not in the team.

I'd personally field

1. Rogers
2. Hughes
3. Watson
4. Bailey
5. Clarke
6. Smith

There are concerns about Bailey at first class level but our batting stocks aren't really good enough not to give him a run.

 

[Red Devil]

Should we expect another run fest? I think so

 

[Justcrazy]

India should win , Indian Batting is just too strong on these kind of surfaces.

 

[Itachi]

there are 1000 tons of gold digging and you guys are wondering about a frigging JAMODI????

 

[Bhaijaan]

Probably the most ideal time to play cricket in Mohali. I do expect a run fest, hell yeahh!!!

another Good one mate!? or finally a good one?

Hope it's not a joke of a game again, that 2nd ODI was one of the worst ODI's I've seen in my 21 year cricket watching career *mashallah*. I don't even play computer games if it is that easy for me to bat.

Disgusting, shame on the BCCI.

 

[IAJ]

Doesnt Mohali usually offer good bounce and some movement?

Anyways Australia's best chance is if they bat second and take some early wickets if India bats first otherwise they will be crushed by these IPL nerds

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Wish Kohli does well

 

[jattafridi]

AUS won the toss chose to field

Easy win for India

 

[Red Devil]

Why are they fielding

 

[battler]

What a fail from dhoni!
Playing the same bowlers again

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Last match they scored 360 and lost hence batting second to take adv of flat pitch, weak IND bowlers....

What is so surprising in this decision?

 

[battler]

Oh no we're batting first
Kohli and co better get us to atleast 450 coz I don't trust these bowlers one bit with a lower target!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Anything over 300 ... MSD will defend

 

[Saeed]

I love Australia so i hope they win but target of 400 would be better this time.

 

[battler]

Anything over 300 ... MSD will defend

Not so sure we have gone for 300+ in the last 2 games.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ind to Bat. would be quite tough for Kohli and Dhoni to get runs

Ind to make a score around 280+. Australia to chase it with ease.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Not so sure we have gone for 300+ in the last 2 games.

I am confident on MSD. Last few years while defending totals Dhoni has done well with our limited bowling resources... acute game knowledge to read situations and some fortune combined he has pulled off quite a few close matches 2 our favor

 

[Stark]

Why are they fielding

What sorta question is that? Didnt u notice what the last match was all about ?

 

[Stark]

Dhawan with the touch shots

Still remember his fab Mohali 100... Debut one. He was smashing that day.
We surely need a smiley of his smile. He is never far away from one

 

[battler]

Vk to the crease!

 

[m.shah]

lol at umpire

 

[Nikhil_cric]

We have to be careful this match. It is not an easy batting surface and it is imperative that the first 20 overs are negotiated carefully without losing another wicket. They can go hammer and tongs later

 

[jattafridi]

virat to score another century

 

[Justcrazy]

21 / 1 | 4 overs

 

[CrowingRooster]

They're both in, the two that smashed Australia.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Single taken

 

[Justcrazy]

and sharma on again

 

[Wattoo]

Virat must be getting bore after scoring centuires every other match.

 

[Justcrazy]

31 / 1

 

[CrowingRooster]

Hit for four

 

[CrowingRooster]

35-1 after 6

 

[CrowingRooster]

Watson in

 

[Justcrazy]

35 / 1 after 6

 

[Justcrazy]

There was a Time when Mohali used to be helpful to fast bowlers.

 

[Wattoo]

Dhoni is a great talent spotter, he sticked with jadeja and sharma even when they were constantly flopping, but now they are good players.

 

[jattafridi]

very good catch sharma gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia need wickets , otherwise it will be a big chase.

 

[jattafridi]

India 37/2

 

[Justcrazy]

37 / 2

 

[leatherface58]

Talunted Rohit back to his usual shtick again!

 

[Justcrazy]

[Naheem]

every day is not sunday

 

[Justcrazy]

41 /2 after 8

 

[Justcrazy]

on fire

:4 :4

 

[m.shah]

kohli to score 200 today

 

[leatherface58]

Calm down Kohli! You are not chasing 360 today

 

[Justcrazy]

55 / 2 after 9

 

[Justcrazy]

kowshik reddy: "The greatest advantage of Kohli over other players is he gives respect to good deleveries."

 

[Naheem]

what a drive from kohli

 

[Justcrazy]

60 / 2 after 10

 

[Stark]

So i am guessing Sachin will gain a few more pakistani admirers today?

 

[saeedhk]

Pakistani batsmen should learn how to bat from the Indians in ODIs. Even though two wickets are down,the run rate is excellent.We,on the other hand,play over defensively after the fall of a couple of wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need to keep taking wickets here.

 

[Munna]

Can we trade half of your Kohli with a full of our Aizaz Cheema?

 

[Justcrazy]

68 / 2 after 12

You need talent for that . Its not easy as it looks to keep playing shots consistently and not loosing wickets.

 

[jattafridi]

India need to score atleast 290 runs on this pitch

 

[Justcrazy]

75 / 2

 

[GreenKnightRises]

IPL Raina

 

[jattafridi]

raina )

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And Raina goes. Apart from Kohli nobody has the skill or patience to play in conditions that suit quicks. Ominous signs for India.

 

[saeedhk]

I am not talking about reckless shots.I mean taking singles and hitting away bad deliveries.

 

[PakistaniBoomBoom]

ut

 

[jattafridi]

yuvi gone ) )

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And now Yuvraj goes. Get Pujara into the ODI team for Christ's sake!

 

[PakistaniBoomBoom]

Yuvi gone golden duck

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Guess I should have tuned in to the telecast early. As soon as I did, two wickets fell right away

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Brilliant bowling by Johson though.

Jinxed. 2 wickets gone quickly while trying to maintain the runrate

 

[Justcrazy]

Johnson to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, golden duck for Yuvraj! that was 148.6 kph from Mitchell Johnson,

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

They need to get Dhoni early.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Dhoni in pain

 

[cricketjoshila]

UV got a good ball.But Raina is a very poor batsman and he will be a sittinv duck in Australia.
